Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LX: Covid Cup II nears its finale

[Amorgus]

Pietrangelo and his family went to Gotham and got dosed with Smilex, didn't they?

 

[Magua]

that is my schtick

You tell him, son.

Remember when we tried to speak trading Simmonds for Barzal into existence? Spoiler alert: we could not speak it into existence.

Why would you do that? One is a physical presence that overcomes play off toughness, Barzal is not

He's an Islander. Don't be ridiculous. They don't allow soft players on their team. Only soft GMs who get inferiority complexes around the hirsute.

I am still in shock we weren't contacted about running Seattle's team

we probably saying Barzal was overrated and thought it would be a bad deal

I thought my Quackverse experience would give me the edge. But as they say: when one door closes, another opens. Next expansion will be our moment.

 

[Amorgus]

The first PP or two were dismal but I'm impressed as hell with what the Isles have done the rest of the game.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not convinced Hedman is healthy. He looks like he’s lumbering out there visually. His analytics are terrible this year too.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Stupid cross-check by Nelson. Probably won't matter, but Trotz won't like that.

 

[Amorgus]

And then Nelson gives them THAT

I have to admit though, I don't really get why they say that

 

[Amorgus]

Tampa chooooked

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Interesting game. The Isles' strategy worked, but the game could have been different if the Lightning capitalized on their early opportunities before the Isles did.

How will the Lightning adapt? They struggled mightily gaining the zone today.

 

[TCTC]

This is the perfect result for Game 1. Now the Lightning will have to win at least one game in Long Island. This is going to be fun.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Well deserved win for the Islanders.

 

[kudymen]

Not the prettiest, but very effective. As time goes on, I appreciate watching a well working team more and more. (guess why)

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Tampa was very flat. They also turned it over a ton against the Islanders’ pressure.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

As head of the New York Islanders fan club, this you @Magua ?

The Flyers were one of 5 teams to not even interview Barzal. I can only assume they didn't want to get all sweaty and nervous in his presence. He does that.

 

[Magua]

As head of the New York Islanders fan club, this you @Magua ?

It's uncanny. But I'm wearing soiled jorts and blasting Billy Joel.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I probably shouldn’t, but I love high energy.

Good shit. Reminds me a little of when that guy gets electrocuted in The Green Mile.

 

[Striiker]

If the Islanders win the cup that means Fletcher is actually a great GM.

Blink twice if someone is holding you against your will.
