Post-Game Talk: The Defending Stanley Cup Champs vs the Presidents Trophy Winners, Take 3

[Sam Spade]

I think we may play Pitt in rd 1. Big game between Canes and Pens today

Go Pens! Seriously.

 

[RockTheRedDC]

I think CBJ move to WC1 and Caps will face them in 1st round. We will meet Pens in 2nd round as usual.

Wish to meet Pens in 1st round and Canes\Isles in 2nd. Give CBJ to Tampa in 1st. Don't think is going to happen.

 

[Raikkonen]

1. One game at a time, guys.

2. Holtby's play is amazing. I dont remember when he was that good game in and game out last time in regular season. Flipped the switch.

Just saw this on TSN.com: "It's the milestone as a goal scorer," said Lightning captain Steven Stamkos, who has reached the 50-goal mark twice in his career. "He's done it plenty of times. That's why he's been the best goal scorer in the last 10, 15 years for a reason and he did it again tonight."

Coming from Stamkos, who’s been arguably second to Ovie all the years in pure goal scoring terms, that’s really something.

Wow that is a good quote that I like and didn't misread as saying Stamkos was better at all good quote I like

More delusion - Jesus Christ how can you say with a straight face that stamkos is better than Ovi and use 50 goal seasons as the reason given his historic milestone?! Honestly speechless .

Not sure where you're getting that from. No one is saying that.

Might want to edit this one bud. I think you read him wrong.....

 

[StrikingDistance]

I have a question, what the heck does Wilson say to these guys on the ice to get them so mad. He makes every team mad, including coaches and GMs

There is no way that he is making them so mad by just playing like he does

2-3 games ago, I was watching Willy after every play use the P word as calmly and freely to every opponent like he was teaching language lessons on how to say it. And by the P word, it's not the word pansy (although it has been used as a synonym).

Reading Is Fundamental

I feel better from having a massive hangover after learning that Cernak is having a rougher Sunday than I am.

Apparently Cernak tweeted out that Willy broke his pinky in their fight. If true, do not like.

Oh wow that sucks. At least hes still ok to play.

I remember Backstrom played with a broken finger last playoffs. Looked painful. Like a balloon

TBH how would Cernak know this

I believe that he extends multiple invitations to opponents purporting to be tough to demonstrate how tough they really are, and the vast majority of those opponents discover they're not interested in finding out, and that leaves them feeling sheepish

I can't find his Twitter.

 

[Calicaps]

Oh looks like Facebook. My bad.

 

[Portable Mink]

if you search his name on twitter all you get in weird weird tampa fans who think Cernak won the fight. Its glorious.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Actually I believe Cali was saying Stamkos has been the 2nd best pure goal scorer during their time in the league, and it is 100 percent correct:

As of today Ovie's Goals per game: .609
As of today Stamkos goals per game: .524
Yes folks, Stamkos is 2nd and it's really by that big a margin.

Who's pinky? Wilson's or...? That would explain why Wilson went to the locker room after being in the box for a while. As long as its not an Orpik like severed pinky, I think it will be alright

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

RMNB said the finger diagnosis is unconfirmed and the site that reported it (a Cernak fan blog on CZE) took it down when they inquired about it. Likely nothing to see here.

Thanks for sharing. But I still wonder. That is a lame injury to make up.

If I posted something I thought was true, say I saw a doctor looking at a doctor pulling a tooth out of someones pinky, and someone came a knocking.... why set out to try to prove what you only saw, when you can just delete a post made on the internet.

Disclosing of hockey injuries this time of year has to be VERY frowned upon, so someone saying something is going to draw a lot of heat awful fast.

 

[searle]

I thought the quote was saying it about Stamkos (read while walking to the gym).

Misread - sharpen those pitch forks, one mistake makes me a complete moron apparently.

Either way my distaste was never aimed at Cali.

I'll be gathering the press for a formal apology at 12pm ET, I can only hope HF boards can accept without my resignation.

Never thought it was aimed at me. The outrage was hilarious tho!

So instant and so absolute

4+ years of posting and one mistake is all it takes to be crucified - what a snake pit
