Yeo hired as associate coach for the Blues and will be the head coach starting 17-18 when Hitch retires.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Saw that. Cant really figure out if its a good move or not to make that call this far out, even if it was decided internally.

Yeah I'm not clicking that

It's *Penns, bro. All the cool kids do it now

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's 2016 Stanley Cup Champion Penns!

I really believe it WAS the double N thing ya'll latched onto that brought the extra mojo. So thanks again for that!

Here is the game 6 HNIC opening I was talking about last night.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I will say I'm genuinely happy for Phil Kessel, who was taken for granted by Toronto's shitty fanbase. The rest of the team can get indigestion on bad hot dogs.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I always like when the odds for next year's champion comes out the day after this year's was won.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Congrats to the Penns on winning the cup. They certainly embraced and embodied change and came together as a team to accomplish something great. Were they the best team? Probably not, but they overcame a shit leader and persevered. They took advantage of every opportunity & break and turned it into success.

What is all this business of the Penns not being "the best team"? Yes. Yes they were the best team. They have 2, arguably three great offensive lines. Their D (which still had Letang, Maaata, and Daley: until injury; any of whom I would take) came together at the right time. Only place they maybe got "lucky" was in net.

The Sharks probably weren't the best team to come out of the West. But I think the Penns would have beaten anybody, sans a healthy Blackhawks team.

It hurt me to type all of that.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hope youre referring to Mike Johnston

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Who the fuck else would I be referring too?

Pens have been the best team since the Calendar turned to 2016. If you cant see that now, youre just being a hater.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Based off your melt a week or so ago I thought you might have been referring to Crosby.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Crosby shouldn't have gotten the CS. Doesn't mean he's not a good captain

Well, he's back to normal now

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wait, he wasn't?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sidney Crosby absolutely deserved the Conn.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

As worth as Adam Foote would have been?

Dave Strader, Dallas and NBCSN play by play guy(also former Red Wings play by play), diagnosed with cancer.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Personally, I would have taken Letang over Crosby. But Crosby absolutely was magnificent in the playoffs.

Now please excuse me while I barf.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

And Phil absolutely deserves all the hot dogs and cookies his mouth can handle

My favorite part about this whole playoffs has been the Fat Kessel stuff. Thank you guys for this. Especially to h2p. You have changed my world brotha. Fat Kessel forever.

:thumbsup There is nothing from the 2016 Playoffs I wish to remember. This honestly might be one of the most forgettable seasons of hockey for me since I started watching back in the early 90's. Right up there with 2005 for me.

:thumbsup fucking perfect
