Around the League - 2015-2016 (Part VI - Playoff Edition)

[Deif]

Flyers are being outshot 34 to 8 but are up 1-0.

 

[JetsFan815]

Why? What has he done that has wronged you so? I'm really curious.

I think Kane's antics are well known, you pointed some of them out yourself, there is no point going over them again in this thread

43 to 10 now
How is Neuvirth suddenly so good?

And you are taking a ridiculous stance on them. The rape charge was dropped because lets be hinest here, she was making it up. Punching the cabbie was years ago. And why would anyone care if a young millionaire threw a party in the offseason. In the middle of the playoffs...I would get. But in the offseason? Come on people.

Which one of us can honesty say that they never did anything wrong when we were young men? We all partied too hard and we all probably picked fights that we shouldn't have and if we were rich at a young age, we may find ourselves in a similar situation.

You may not agree with his actions, but to say that you wouldn't be a Jets fan because of the three things that he has done in the past is ridiculous.

He's been solid for awhile now.

 

[jetsforever]

He's been solid for awhile now.

Yeah I meant this whole season - he's been great for Philly

 

[CorgisPer60]

Neuvirth was never a bad goalie, just not enough of a good goalie to be a consistent starter.

 

[sully1410]

He's a player I wanted Cheveldayoff to go after.

 

[Hobble]

first time watching a game while they're challenging an offside.

Yeesh, now I know why everyone is complaining.

Ridiculous when it's not our team hey?

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Neuvirth was never a bad goalie, just not enough of a good goalie to be a consistent starter.

Another in a long list of good goalies that plays a little unconventionally so the NHL GM's shun him. There's another playing amazing in south Florida today (Greiss). NHL GM's are really bad at judging goalie talent as a whole, guys like Greiss, Neuvirth, Khudobin, Enroth, etc slip through the cracks and guys like Pavelec, Ward, etc get chance after chance after chance.

 

[EpicGingy]

Imagine if Washington gets Halak'd again.

 

[CorgisPer60]

There was some good overtime hockey to be had tonight. I love that OT winner from Mikko Koivu.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Stars lose in OT.

Primed to lose this series since Ruff will undoubtedly bring Kari off the bench for next game and he is completely un-clutch.

 

[Deif]

Kings are done.

 

[bustamente]

Think Quick would want that one back

 

[Whileee]

Wonder if Dallas is getting a bit antsy about their $10.5 million goalie tandem.

Niemi 0.792 last night.

 

[jetsforever]

Go Sharks!

 

[sully1410]

Goodbye LA. SJ becoming my feel good team for the west.

 

[flyingkiwi]

Woooohooooo! Go Sharks!

Here's hoping the Panthers can claw back out east.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

The sharks were destined to win that series on beard strength alone.

I hope Pavelski's hand is ok. He took a good chop from Kopitar.

 

[LadyJet26]

There goes my work pool

The International Olympic Committee is reportedly unwilling to cover transportation and insurance costs required to have NHL players participate in the event, International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel told Inside the Games at the SportAccord Convention in Lausanne, Switzerland.

"Our wish is to have the best players," Fasel said. "(But the IOC) not covering the cost as they did at the last five Olympic Games puts us in a difficult financial situation.

"We still have challenges - it is even more difficult than before."

 

[Positive]

Kings are out. Sharks look good. Huh.

Remember how the Kings purportedly (by the opinion of some here) put up a minimal effort against the Jets in the last game and 'didn't have anything to play for' or 'didn't care about seeding'? Maybe they should have cared.
