Great night of hockey.

They couldn't get that last shot off.

 

[clefty]

No doubt.


I have no idea how women can say, "yeah, I wanna look like an alien hybrid being", shoot me up. It's not a good look.

It's not entirely their fault, given certain industries and their appalling obsession with superficiality and youthful looks. But that's another discussion for another time, and I probably should have kept my mouth shut.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh what a day, what a glorious day...

Adios Edmonton, see ya later Oilers fans...all is well.

 

[Lustaf]

That west conference final is going to be a hell of a series.. at least on paper.

 

[66-30-33]

Oh what a day, what a glorious day...

Adios Edmonton, see ya later Oilers fans...all is well.

But McDavid is better...he went further in his first playoffs then Crosby.


Am i doing it right?

 

[Lustaf]

Friday night start for the west.. that's a quick turn around for the ducks.

Wow, it is.


But at least they don't have to travel. They are already at home.

Wow, that's harsh. Unbelievable they wouldn't also be on the weekend...I wonder what else is scheduled at the arena?

--Something called Stars on Ice for Saturday.

 

[Lustaf]

Wow, it is.


But at least they don't have to travel. They are already at home.

At least they have that going for them...


Side note, Getzlaf finally shaved his head. Looks much better then trying to hold onto what little hair he had left.

Didn't Letestu produce more than him in the playoffs? And Draisaitl cemented himself as a playoff monster.

McDavid is the leader in awkward pictures with Filipino's.

He's shaved his head for a while now (as a balding man myself from years of ice hockey as a kid and football, dem helmets amirite?) as I recall him last year having the bald head too without the cul-d-sac.

**** the state of California. Go Preds.

All I am hoping for is that the series goes to 7 while the Pens have their way with the Sens in 5, praying for 4.

 

[flaneur]

the oilers and leafs are going to be the power houses of the league very soon...

 

[flaneur]

from the games I've seen -- the preds should be able to get by the ducks

I've just started to lose hair directly at where I would part my hair down the middle as a kid.. I'm 33 and have always had a full head of hair and it's scaring the **** outta me. lol

They both just need some D to mature and some experience in big games to get there.

They could, or they could be a team that just makes the playoffs in consecutive years, which I guess is also a massive win for them at this point in their rebuilds.

Good luck to the Oilers signing Leon Draisaitl, that kid is in for a massive...massive raise. Then you have McDavid now in the year where they can negotiate an extension and even that is going to be interesting because both are going to want market value.

Stamkos is a 8.5m cap hit.
Benn is 9.5m
Crosby 8.7m
Malkin 9.5m
Ovechkin is 9.5m

McDavid probably falls in the 9-10m/yr range.
Draisaitl is easily in the 7.5-8.5m/yr range.

I hated it at first, but when I talked to my Doctor when I was balding in my early 20's (Imagine being 23 and going bald, I wanted to cry!), he said the helmets from sports might have played a tiny part in it, but when we did tests, it was because I had high testosterone levels (still do) which leads to baldness. Literally no one in my family is bald. I have a scar on my hair line (my fiancee digs it) and a few other scars but overall my head shape is normal like Getzlaf, so it looks fine. I mean I save a ton with not buying shampoo, conditioner and getting haircuts, lol. I learned how to use a straight blade in my teens so I don't even spend money on blades really.

But yeah, a ton of hockey players bald, seems normal I guess. Could be because of both reasons too, high testosterone or hereditary reasons or helmets.

Come to think of it, I am rocking the Getzlaf I guess...I got my playoff beard going too, but more gray in it, or as my friends call me "Greybush"...it's very Scott Niedermayer during the Ducks run, just the middle being white though. I'm old, meh.
