League News: 2016-17 General NHL Fan Talk - Part the Second (News n' Scores n' Stuff)

[um]

I think id rather face Boston than Toronto. Boston is just Brad Marchand and their PP overachieving big time, while Toronto's kids could break out in the playoffs. And of course Babcock is scary.

The bottom line is that a team as good as they've been all year should expect to be able to win with their backup goaltender. I think most coaches would have done exactly what Torts did here.

When you're that good, you start your backup versus the lesser team.

Korpisalo is 6-4 2.85 .905.

Looking forward to the Caps winning tonight.

What? The Leafs are still chocking away games like crazy. The defense is young, inexperienced and there is no one there to guide them.


Love seeing the DoPS showing off they have no concept of how to actually discipline players in a productive manner to clean up the game. Tkachuk elbows a player right in the head. Completely non hockey play and gets one less game then Risto that threw an early hit. They need to get it through their heads that actions should be the primary reason for suspensions and not injuries.

I don't want to face Boston. They have the best fancystats and a good goalie, and a fantastic top line.

They haven't played great against the Islanders but I still think that they are a favorable matchup.

 

[Calicaps]

The Sens make me nervous. I'd rather play the Habs.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Bring on Toronto and then Boston. Toronto is dangerous offensively but inexperienced and weak on defense. This would be like playing the 2008 Caps.

We own Boston since 2012, Holtby is in their heads and we've had success against Rask.

1-0 Pens BTW.

fwiw Crosby appears to have chopped off the tip of Methot's finger with a slash.

Do not post the pics here.

yea that was nasty and again somehow crosby wasant penalized

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Crosby is going to get hammered one of these times for his dirty play. No penalty is unreal.

Let's go Sens!

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Pens and Sens in OT.

Let's go Sens!

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Sens and Pens go to the Bettmanout.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Crosby FTL.....yay.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Sens win and the Pens remain 2 points behind.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Crosby can't score and the Pens lose. Beautiful!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Sens win! Update on the standings:

1. Caps - 104 pts in 73 games, 46 ROW
2. Pens - 102 pts in 73 games, 43 ROW
3. CBJ - 101 pts in 73 games, 45 ROW

Woot!

EDIT: 20 000th post!

Relieved the Sens won that. I mean Pittsburgh is missing half their team.

 

[Corby78]

nice up 2 on the pens, 3 on Cbus, and more ROW. Sitting in a good spot, especially with 3/4 of the next games being against bad teams

 

[BackToTheBasics]

The Hurricanes are still very quietly right there in the race for the last WC spot. 5 points behind BOS with 2 games in hand.

I want to see the cartwheels the league does in not giving Crosby at least 3 games like Risto.

The hockey media adores him (especially the Canadian cruddy media) so nothing will be done. They will just ignore it and hope it goes away.

Dudley do wrong will escape unscathed, once again.

Interesting...

You can comment on the Caps game on NHL.com but you can't comment on the Pens game. I wonder why that is?

Nerd!

Partially severe someones finger, Penguins fans don't think its a big deal.

Complete lack of respect for the health of other players to whack someone across the hand that hard and they don't see a problem with it.

How was no penalty called even without the injury? That was a 2 hander directed at the wrist/hand area. It wasn't even a stick check or something similar that road up and got the hands.
