[La Masse]

If anything they are the more exciting of the two teams on the ice right now.

I agree and that’s saying something

 

[naruto]

Well both the wild and leafs are to blame.

Wild just play mind numbingly boring hockey all the time.

Babcock has sucked all excitement out of the leafs so that they now are playing boring af

 

[SR]

Tampa’s power play is a thing of beauty

 

[BHD]

Elliott with “strong goaltending” in a game where he only had to make 20 saves, none of which were remotely dangerous.

 

[Sam Spade]

The Sabres make me sad. Their fans deserve so much better than this.

Eh - Hedman could be better on the point. Hasn't been great the past 15 or so games from there. I almost would prefer to try Sergachev there.

 

[Sam Spade]

Ovechkin tried to do that!!!

He must be a heck of a pool player.

 

[snipes]

Oilers put up 22 shots in the first on the Preda

 

[karnige]

22-4 shots in favour of edm after 1. hit post. Shades of the leafs the other night?

Eerily similar actually. Completely dominating and can’t buy a goal

Does Sergachev play the second PP?

 

[GKJ]

The Flyers have won 5 in a row. They have also won 5 of their last 15 games. 5-5-5 and over .500 in point percentage during a 6-week span that included a 10-game losing streak. 2 points out of the playoffs.

Maybe. But a lot of their shots had no traffic in front and/or were late rotating. But they certainly brought the effort and created chances.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

well I was right about the Leafs game. I can't stand the way Babcock has us playing and we would not have the winning record that we do if not for absurd goaltending and luck

 

[The Macho King]

Does Sergachev play the second PP?

Yeah. I just think Sergachev is a better passer and less hesitant to shoot.

 

[SR]

Yeah. I just think Sergachev is a better passer and less hesitant to shoot.

Im sure it’s been done already, but good god a PP unit of

Stamkos
Kucherov
Namestnikov
Hedman
Sergachev

Is unbelievable.

We don't use two Dmen on a PP. One D 4F, and that works really well for us (obviously). Killorn is a pretty good option in the slot - hasn't scored a lot this year but if he gets some space he can rip a good shot, and he's a pretty big body.

 

[antiqueslivers]

Yup, it's a toss up according to both Bodog and Bet365 - 1.90:1 for each team. Play it safe and put $100 on both.



m.

maaaan I hope you made that bet!

I will switch up to your game as soon as this game between Minny and Leafs is done..unless it puts me to sleep...because it's been pretty boring....

Come playoff time teams better not take penalties that's for sure.

I figured that was the case. Arizona does the same, however we end up stringing two passes together and the second one is to the opposing team and the pucks out or in our net.

I hated playing the Red Wings in the playoffs. Games were intense, but Babcock has an underrated boring system. It just didn't seem as boring when you have Datsyuk and Lidstrom out there.

It is boring and that bothers me as a fan, but the worst part is it wouldn't even be successful if we didn't get ~.950 sv% goaltending and a high team shooting percentage. We actually allow more high danger scoring chances than we do at the start of the year even though we were supposed to have tightened up defensively

 

[snipes]

High stick

 

[McFlyingV]

Awful blown high stick on Nashvilles goal lmao are they blind?
