GDT: 2017 Playoffs Running Commentary

[TaLoN]

Wait a minute outplaying a team and losing I thought that only happened to the Wild ��.

That game was a mirror of Wild vs Blues in round 1...Preds were the Wild, Pens the Blues...

Aint that the truth.

 

[Northerner]

Nashville is good...

 

[StealthClobber]

This Game 2 is getting interesting officiating already.

 

[Wild11MN]

Sweet goal by Aberg to start it.

 

[gphr513]

Imagine if Cody McLeod was on your team, and was out on the ice taking penalties late in a SCF game...

 

[Wild11MN]

Guentzel... my goodness. GOAT.

Dude has 12 goals in the playoffs.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Impressive.

 

[Wild11MN]

That escalated quickly.

 

[StealthClobber]

Wow, what happened to the Preds?

 

[Bruce Granville]

Pens are the luckiest team ever.
Outplayed, but with a bunch of lucky bounces.
And a hot goalie...
Blues, anyone?

The Pens have won enough that it's not just luck. They're simply good. Yes, they may get outshot or pushed around, but they do one thing consistently that the others can't do and that is making the most of an opportunity. They get it done. Period. Lucky at times? Yes. But luck doesn't put you in the Finals in back to back years.

And I say that as someone who isn't a big fan of them....except for this series.

3 quick goals, eh? Rinne sounds busted. Haven't been able to watch. Is it as bad as it sounds?

 

[NHL1674]

Preds are trying to act all big and tough. McLeod is acting like an idiot. It's backfiring on them.

Well Rinne was going to Regress sooner or later. Sadly this is too soon.

 

[Nharris31]

They should start Saros next game. I don't care that Pekka helped get them here.

I don't know, that would be tough for me. I think Pekka gets a game at home. The next game is so crucial, though.

 

[57special]

And Cullen is once again playing an important part for the Pens. Their bottom six guys are scoring as well as the top 6.

Well ya that's happens when you don't have any grinders.

 

[Minnesota]

Everyone knew it'd happen when they acquired him.

 

[melinko]

NBC should have done more to make sure the Nashville home games were on the main channel.

The crowd would make non-NHL fans stop and check whats going on.

 

[Bruce Granville]

I guess Guentzel sold his soul to the devil.
Watch him disappear in 10 years...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I wonder how many pull-ups he did.

 

[Bazeek]

I wonder how many pull-ups he did.

Poor Windgate results. 5th overall at best.

Also: Russo is standing at the edge of a volcano. Before him are Jared Spurgeon and Jake Guentzel. The villagers are nervous; the volcano is hungry. Who does Russo push into the volcano?

 

[TaLoN]

Poor Windgate results. 5th overall at best.

I heard he also only types 25 words per minute... should drop his draft stock even more!
