The scoreboard is what actually matters. Just because we played well enough to win that series doesn't mean we're inherently better.Stats showed we dominated all but 1 game. Just lost on the scoreboard.

Not really sure how you came up with we were the better team. I've seen this a few times from you. Even if you make the argument, you certainly can't use the term "clearly".
As far as this season goes, it's pretty much a 50/50 chance we'll be playing Washington or the Pens in the first round (as far as making it and who we play). I don't really care who it is to be honest. Having said that I'm kind of bored with the Pens.
The Metro took a step back this season and I'm not really sure there real favorite. I guess you'd go with the Pens for experience. Seems like it's Tampa's year to lose in the East.
I rarely post here but you are 100% correct. I don't know how anyone makes an argument for Cbus being the better team in their series last year when it was 4-1 and total goals was 21-13.
This isn't Bob and his merry men. They win as a team and they lose as a team.
I Some of you guys need to go back and watch some extended highlights of the games. Or just watch the goals he let in.

You remind me of the knight in Monty Python’s Holy Grail who despite losing all his limbs still thinks he’s right there in the fightBut because THEY LITERALLY played just "well enough to win", THEY were inherently "better"?
I wonder sometimes just how many of you guys DO wear Pens jerseys when they come to Nationwide....
That's a false dichotomy. I don't think we're better. I don't think we're worse. I think we had a competitive team and things just didn't go our way. I suspect the same is true this season as well.But because THEY LITERALLY played just "well enough to win", THEY were inherently "better"?

I'm done responding to all this silliness.
It IS just a flesh wound. At least homeboy was confident to the ACTUAL END.
I'd rather be him than what you people remind me of..
The Knights who till recently said Ni
How many shrubberies do you need?
You people want Ryan Murray and Brandon Dubinsky (and the team) to cut a tree down with a herring!!
IT is unreasonable.
Does Pittsburgh have the defense corps to make a run this year? My good friend who is a Penguins fan -- and their play since the deadline will back this up -- says that they have looked horrible and will get burned in the playoffs.
But if no matter how many they score he lets up one more that's not their fault...This isn't Bob and his merry men. They win as a team and they lose as a team.
Literally go look it up because I could have Jesus tell you this and you would go teeheee and post nothing relevant. Every one in a management spot acknowledged that that series score board was insanely deceptive to the actual play of the games. All but 1 game we dominated in the fancy stuff which is all you guys care about on a normal game using that cf% or corsi or rel or whatever the dumb numbers are but in this instance when I say use those numbers people ignore it because they refuse to accept how well we did in the playoffs because it ruins their ability to blame torts or Fligs or attack or system for not being offensive enough. We dominated time in their zone, possession, shot attempts, all of that but 1 game. But no bow down to daddy Crosby so we can always follow that narrative.rolf, alright.
No but it means people can stop pretending last year we were a fluke or undeserving or torts system didn't work. How many times did people say Torts needs to change his system especially against the pens it clearly doesn't work then mock his Adams all while IT WORKED!!! BOB JUST DIDN'T!! Facts should still matter instead of hate with blinders always on.The scoreboard is what actually matters. Just because we played well enough to win that series doesn't mean we're inherently better.

Agreed. 100%. Imo he deserved the Hart too he was the definition of MVP. Without him the CBJ are a different team. The award should go to the player who is the most valuable to his team and without him your team would be bad. Doesn't change the fact we were the better team and only lost the series because Bob. When you dominate the series in every facet except GA then you can only blame Bob.Last years Blue Jackets don't make the playoffs without Bob and his VEZINA.
Yes. The GM and coach of the losing team. Clearly the place to look to for unbiased opinion.Look at the numbers... both GMJK and Torts talked about it in their interviews as well. Dominated everywhere but the scoreboard.
They were clearly better, not just than us, than everyone. They carried the friggin Cup. Do I think we can beat them this year, I don't know but I always liked the saying to be the best you have to beat the rest. Our Cup goes through Pittsburgh that is the only sure thing I see
