Around The NHL #6 - All About The Teams Not Ours.

[Jamieh]

Or Babcock's Revenge.... remember he advocated increasing the goal size.

That guy has kinda disappeared hey?? Guessing the Leafs have kept him from doing a media gig this playoffs like most fired coaches seem to do??

Mike Babcock joins Vermont coaching staff as volunteer advisor

I'm guessing he'll be back in the NHL by end of next season.

Yeah I knew that one I kinda meant in the Public eye. Not sure anyone is gonna offer him the salary he is presently getting. Guess he could get the Leafs some relief?? Make a deal for a buyout?

Are HFboards ever gonna replace that 486 they are running this site on? Man.

This past week there has been 24 teams doing "playoff" hockey, combined with many hockey starved fans sitting at home created the perfect storm. I bet HF traffic has been near record high.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Hmmm

 

[Name Nameless]

Hmmm

It did miracles for my sportbook-cash though. Hey, I'm number four on the leaderboard!

Ok, I'm boosting. Wish those were real dollars.

Stretched out on the couch on a Tuesday afternoon in August and I'm watching playoff hockey...life is good.

Overtime scheduling chaos has started. Sucks to be the teams waiting to play and not knowing when it will be.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

CBJ playing their 4th games in 6 days. 3rd overtime game. Going into double overtime this time, so almost - all added together -5 games played in 6 days... so far (they are absolutely knackered, hard to imagine it will go much further one way or another)

They are a resilient bunch, but this will take a toll after all those months off.

I'm in the minority but I wish every season started in December and ended in August.

Blue Jackets taking firing squad after firing squad and still surviving. Need to see some offense from them.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Seth Jones with 53'20 ice time so far
He has been on the ice 145'40 (2h25 40s) over the last 6 days.

 

[Muppet]

I'm drained just watching this, I can't imagine how the players feel.

 

[0point1]

I don't know how this doesn't end with the Lightning winning.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Tbl has had better chances, but both teams playing good D.

 

[MIGs Dog]

To limit long OT games, each intermission they install larger nets.

This is actually a lot faster than the SJ-Dal 4OT game from what I remember. Players are in better shape and sports nutrition has advanced significantly. Surprising that nobody has scored.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Tbl has choked on a few good chances.

"7th period stretch"

 

[Muppet]

80 saves for Korpisalo.. EIGHTY

 

[MIGs Dog]

I only remember one penalty in 4 OTs.

 

[TheLegend]

80 saves for Korpisalo.. EIGHTY

Kuemper might have that many in 3 periods tomorrow.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Seth Jones with 53'20 ice time so far
He has been on the ice 145'40 (2h25 40s) over the last 6 days.

Sergei Zubov holds the record at 63:51 in 2004. Jones is at 60 minutes now.

 

[MIGs Dog]

80 saves for Korpisalo.. EIGHTY

Had he made 81 the game would be over.
