Around the League '16-'17 Part Why Is This Still Going

[WHOneedsSOX]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL trash on the ice now! What a bunch of ****ing clowns.

Olcyzk said they only showed the overhead view at the arena. Looked in from that angle. He said they never showed the front angle that clearly showed it didn't go in. Kings fans would've done the same at Staples.

Refs were awful tonight. Pens getting away with high sticks in OT. Sens get away with too many men and holding all night. Kessel's dive.

Sens look like a bunch of ****ing amateurs!

That 1st OT was embarrassing. Did they have any scoring chances? They looked like they didn't want to win.

2 SOG through the first something like 25 minutes of OT, LOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Kunitz scoring there is like Penner doing it in 2012. Penguin fans haven't liked Kunitz for years. Love him now though. Fans are fickle everywhere.

On the shift where the Pens scored, Ottawa mishandled the puck on a cross ice pass between the D-men. The left side defenseman started reaching for the puck, poked it away, but the Pens got control, and a few seconds later, it's in the back of the net.

Karlsson will never win a championship.

No one on Ottawa was even moving that shift. They were completely gassed. Turris and Stone both played over 30 minutes compared to Crosby's 26:49.

No it didn't. It's clearly not in even from the overhead. The fans were just puffed up with wishful thinking.

His back is dust after carrying this team for so long.

The Sens actually play like what fans of other teams accuse the Kings of playing like

You are giving the Kings far too much credit. Their play was a lot more insufferable this season.

**** that, even this season the Kings never resorted to the chicken**** trap.

They might have been boring/predictable through puck control, but they never trapped.

So happy the Sens are out. Pens forwards vs. Nashville D will be fun. Sens try-not-to-lose vs. Nashville d would have been likely much less fun.

Karlsson was heroic. Ryan was great. Pageau and a couple of others had moments. But most of the Sens were various shades of Dwight Kings and Jeff Shcultzes.

Yeah, that's true. I'm glad as hell the Sens lost, I hated watching that

 

[Herby]

His back is dust after carrying this team for so long.

These playoffs cemented to me that he is the best defenseman in the world. The ability to carry the puck up the ice from the defensive to offensive zone is incredible, haven't seen anyone do it that well since Coffey and Leetch. And he was doing it with a broken foot.

Ottawa needs a big time finisher up front though.

I could barely even tell on my 65 inch TV. Would be even harder to tell on a big screen in an arena.

Sens vs Preds would've been awful to watch. Sens would've tried to win the games 2-1 and put 4 guys at the blueline when they got the lead.

I's still take Doughty over him, but he's right there.

 

[Herby]

I think you have to take EK, but I am hoping with Darryl and Dean gone that things will be opened up more for Doughty.

Drew has a weak and inaccurate shot and IMO can be a liability on the PP, but he has shown the ability to carry the puck up the ice much like Karlsson does, and can be effective offensively when he takes the chances.

The Kings have issues with talent up front and scoring goals, they need Doughty to be a bigger factor offensively. No reason that Doughty can't get 50 points in his sleep.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

It's extremely close now. I think the gap defensively has closed. Karlsson isn't all the way there but he's close. And Doughty's offense is lightyears away form Karlsson's.

That's how I see it as well. Doughty hasn't carried the Kings on his back like Karlsson has done with the Sens.

Hopefully, for years I've said he has no role on the first power play unit. It should be immediate, but he delays and allows everyone time to position and block.

During both runs and the Olympics he simply dominated.

That's how I see it as well. Doughty hasn't carried the Kings on his back like Karlsson has done with the Sens.

Hasn't really had to though. He was an equal to Kopitar, Quick, and Williams during those runs. Unfortunately he leaves a lot to be desired when the Kings usually need him the most (December losses that eventually bite the Kings in the ass).

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Man, listening to Karlsson's interview and watching the guy play in these playoffs has made me a huge fan of his. He couldn't stop giving the Penguins credit tonight after the game and refused to use his foot as an excuse. Just said how he was able to play and he couldn't ask for anything more.

 

[King'sPawn]

**** that, even this season the Kings never resorted to the chicken**** trap.

That's the point. He was saying the Sens were playing a boring trap, which is what other fans were accusing the Kings of doing back when they were successful.

The Kings were not a trap team, but that didn't stop ignoramuses from asserting it.

Agreed, he has been great to watch.

I was very anti-sedin before LA eliminated the canucks in 2012. After that they did nothing but credit the kings, they played hard and didn't dive that series. After that I remained anti canuck, but not anti-sedin

 

[LAKings88]

I'm honestly impressed with Pitt.

They have overcome some significant injuries.

Interested to see what team and style wins the cup.
