Always picking on the poor Pens.

Yumcha

I wasn't...?


Just saying that it would've been ridiculous if Pengoons had Sid, Malkin, and Toews...

Yumcha

And thank gawd Hawks did not select Phil the Thrill with the 3rd pick. Whew.

ANYHOW...euphoria of the OT winner speaking.

Series isn't over. Blues aren't going anywhere.

This is stuff from the Twilight Zone...

Blues/Kings in 2013:
Game 1: Alex Steen scored game-winning goal in OT.
Game 2: Barret Jackman scored game-winning goal.
Game 3: Blues outshot Kings by nine, get shut out.
Game 4. Blues blew 3-2 lead late in third period, lost 4-3.
Game 5: Alex Pietrangelo scored game-tying goal (his first of the playoffs, assisted by Jaden Schwartz), Blues lost 3-2 in OT.
Game 6: Blues lost 2-1, eliminated from playoffs.

Blues/Hawks 2014:
Game 1: Steen scored game-winning goal in OT.
Game 2: Jackman scored game-winning goal.
Game 3: Blues outshot Blackhawks by nine, get shut out.
Game 4: Blues blew 3-2 lead late in third period, lost 4-3.
Game 5: Pietrangelo scored game-tying goal (his first of the playoffs, assisted by Schwartz), Blues lost 3-2 in OT.
Game 6: ???

So, a loafing millionaire Russian got two people fired because the loafing Russian has a laziness problem?

Cool.



Fire people who were brought in to help you but because you are lazy and irresponsible, get them fired. What a great thing, sports.

I dunno...from my observations, he tried. He brought in players that apparently, the Caps were missing (i.e. Brouwer, Ward) to upgrade their grit and "intangibles" to surround what was supposedly a really GREAT core.

Who knew Ovie would fall from being in conversations to be the planet's greatest to now, a bad-attitude selfish...loaf?

Remember, just a couple years ago, Ovie was in the same conversation as Crosby. And with Semin, Backstrom, Green, the Caps had a core almost all the NHL envied.



Somewhere, the wheels fell off of that.

Yumcha

Personally, I think giving Ovie the captaincy was the start of sending the Caps down this path of mediocrity. He's not captain-material.

He was outstanding when he was NOT a captain.

This. Mebbe wsklar can help me out on skyfire, but not before I rage like domcha. And the NBC app sucks almost as much donkey balls as marchand.

Fibonacci

So you're telling me, I gotta chance!


If Holland can earn a big payday for brilliant signings like Weiss, TooToo, Sammy, Cleary and Jimmay. I surely have the ability to get overpaid as GM in the Count's league!

Yumcha

So, we all now know black label is the worst humble-cocky in here.


Worrying about the farm-team Wings...yeah, sure.

Yumcha

Of the guys in here who have a legit team that they cheer for (not counting the fair-weathered fans), black label's Bruins got the easiest first round...ever.

This is the time of year when I really appreciate 's hockey sense, insight and fair assessment of the state of hockey.


Pissed that noone cracked a smile at my #marlinstoquebec joke.

Just wanted to send a shout out to domcha to say thanks for setting up the t-time at St. Georges tomorrow.

As a courtesy, I'll let hit off the ladies t's with Elisha. April and I will hit off the back t's.

Say what you will Yummy but Detroit gave Boston trouble all year and they were no push overs in the playoffs. All 5 games were played very close.

Detroit and Montreal is no easy road for Boston.

Yumcha

C'mon dude. This series was never in doubt against the Things. The Habs are a tougher match-up but given the Lilliputian size of that squad, the bigger Bruins should have a winnable series as well.

And also, don't quote past playoff series either. I never understood how past years' playoffs has any bearing on the present. And your Bruins won as recently as 2011 in the series where all Pengoons like to remind you about Chara's "dirt".



Please don't quote me regular season stats and all that baloney. Don't care that Habs won all or most of the games or whatever. Again, playoffs are a different beast.

Yumcha

Dude, new where the Cup was at every moment. That's hockey sense right there.

I think you're being very generous. Jimmay still has not earned his paycheck, but the future is bright in Hockeytown.

Wouldn't shock me if they sign Ultra-Alfie to another 1yr deal. Weiss needs to actually play more than 20 games next year. Will have to make a decision on Quincy, but he was not worth the trade to get him back IMO. Plenty of spare powder to sign the kids to extensions and perhaps resign Monster at the right price.

Probably the biggest mistake on Holland's watch was signing the Mule to a long term deal instead of Hossa. Wings still have a nice mix of veterans and youth to make another run at a cup...
