League News: NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) Vol. 7

Kind of meant to be funny but the Pens do tend to play better without Crosby.

very true
every Pen knows they have to be on their game w/out Crosby or it's a loss
a lot of bad habits creep back into their game with Crosby

Torts strikes again.

 

[Melkor]

Torts strikes again.

And rightfully so. Someone needed to step up and call the refs out for their BS.

 

[hb12xchamps]

For those who didn't see it. Backstory is that the refs allowed 1.1 seconds to come off the clock towards the end of OT and didn't put the time back on. Werenski scores .2 seconds after the whistle blows to end OT and the game goes to shootout. In the shootout, Korpisalo gets injured and they have to put in a rookie goaltender that was cold off the bench and they lose the game.

He'll get fined by the NHL but he definitely isn't wrong. The NHL should have some sort of explanation for not allowing the 1.1 or so seconds back on the clock

He's a good coach.

 

[notDkristich]

He's a good coach.

like and being good can be mutually exclusive.

The head clown at NHL headquarters came out with this gem:


I'll keep beating that dead horse; the league will not move forward until idiots like this are gone.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

More injuries in Pittsburgh. Pretty absurd at this point.

 

[txpd]

Until the injuries do anything other than make them better, I don't want to talk about it.

They always seem to overachieve when they have major injury. What would you attribute that to? Coaching? Luck?

 

[Melkor]

Definitely not luck.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Penguins might actually be in trouble with Guentzel getting hurt. He was on an absolute tear recently and already has 20 goals. Going to be tough to replace that kind of goal scoring in the lineup

 

[txpd]

Culture. The Caps have something similar going. Some here seem to think the Caps have primary flaws in all areas of the game and they just win. Its culture.

The fact that Campbell still has a job after all those emails leaked showing his bias when his son was in the NHL is a joke.

He’s the f***ing COO... He is the living, breathing definition of failing upwards.

Sadly the NHL don't want truth and it takes coaches like Torts to state it and get fined. Torts vs Bettman would make a great revenue boxing match.

 

[marcel snapshot]

The worst thing about Dennis Farina dying a few years ago is that he's no longer available to play Torts in the biopic of his life.

 

[Melkor]

I'll just leave this here

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I'll just leave this here

I wonder what he named it.

 

[Melkor]

I wonder what he named it.

No idea. Sometimes I think Pierre is just trolling everyone. Can't help but crack up at his antics

 

[Kuznetsnow]

I'll just leave this here

I love that he knows exactly what he's doing. Joaquin Phoenix/Jared Leto esque real life performance art

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Corey Perry is a plug. What a dirty hit.

 

[Corby78]

Corey Perry is a plug. What a dirty hit.
