l2 0 5 5 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Congrats MA. This Preds team is fun to watch. Glad they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Thanks guys! Just home from the Bridgestone. Took a couple vids but cant figure out how to upload them. Now go Oilers, dont want to face the fucking Ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biter Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 After losing three straight games (two in OT), that was not what I expected from the Oilers in game 6. Congrats to the Predators for moving on to the Conference Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Reptitious Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 What an emphatic statement win by the Oilers after all the controversies (combined with inability to finish off the Ducks in games) of the past few games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Popping in to once again wonder if Sisyphus is a Blues fan, as he endlessly rolls that boulder up the hill. This annual playoff tease is getting tiring, but I can't just give up, right? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Pesci Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Pens' effort in the 1st was absolutely pathetic. Lucky they're only down 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerenthaClone Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 My meltdown imminent. (if the Pens fail to make it, I can wholeheartedly bandwagon the Preds, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Wow dominant performance from the Caps right now. Looks like the second round will be providing the one thing that the first round lacked. Game 7s! glad I can enjoy those as a neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerenthaClone Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Commence meltdown! e: For more actual posting, I don't understand Sullivan's reticence to change his lines up once it became clear how down the Pens were. Trying out new stuff at the start of the game wasn't bad, but why keep them? Hainsey was dire; a losing game 6 seems like an excellent time to bust Streit out and see what he can do. The problem lies pretty much within the defensive corps and their weakness at the moment. The Pens can't generate offense in part because they're needing to bring all of their forwards to backcheck just to support their defense and the Caps have switched to trying to clog up the neutral zone far more than they did in earlier games which stifles the Pens' few counter-attack chances. Schultz was making up for Letang's absence for a while, but he isn't quite cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also swap in Archibald, just for a little hunger and energy. They really miss Daley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now if you do try out Streit and/or Archibald (I agree with you there too) you're doing it for the first time in a game 7 which seems all kinds of sketchy. Game 6, once your loss became pretty clear, was the time to do that. As an added bonus, you'd maybe turn that game around a bit and prevent it from being the demoralizing rout it was. Oh well.

Joe Pesci Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Love seeing those Rags lose, but man am I fucking tired of Pierre McGuire. His trivial knowledge bullshit schtick is played out and I don't think he adds a whole lot to the game anymore imo as Doc and Edzo do just fine on their own. NBC really needs to look at an overhaul of their hockey guys. Milbury and Jones need to be put out to pasture, no one wants to hear two goons bitch and moan about how great hockey was in their day. McGuire would be an ideal replacement for dumb and dumber though, and then I wouldn't have to hear him talk about some random shit like how Tom Kuhnackl's dad was some great hockey player in Germany back in the day...end rant.

Game six was the time to do that. They were having such a hard time with the breakout in game 5.... Oh well.. I still really like what i see from Sullvan though. I just don't think this is our year.

I do enjoy getting to crack up once a game or so as I hear Pierre describe the details of [obscure new player]'s favorite meat to cheese ratio in whichever sandwich they bought at their high school's third away tournament or whatever it is. I think its hilarious and entirely ignorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
