"The Shift"

[Stad]

This was incredible last night, 90 seconds of zone time with a full line change by the Pens capped off with a goal.

People have to start coming up with better names for these things.

I didn't know what else to put, lol.

This was incredible last night, 90 seconds of zone time with a full line change by the Pens capped off with a goal. Can't remember the last time i saw that much sustained pressure at even-strength.

Jesus, Ottawa is slow.

The final stand of the 300 Senators?

If there was a full line change, then technically it's "the shifts"?

Men vs boys

Didn't the Pens have three at least partial line changes during that shift?

Possibly, i just saw Bonino's line come on after Malkin's.

I feel like these sort of momentum swings happen fairly often in games throughout the season. Was expecting more tbh..

Thing is there where games this season where they pinned teams in their zone for minutes on end, but wouldn't score - let alone generate a scoring chance. This time, though, they were successful.

There was a game against Tampa last spring (Game 3?) where the Lightning were hanging on for dear life by the end. Again, they didn't score, but it set the tone for the rest of the game. Crazy stuff...

I meant in the playoffs, guess i should've put that in the OP.

Those plays happen pretty frequently, especially in the second period with the long change.

Can't remember the last time it happened?

Preds hemmed the Blues in their zone a couple weeks ago for 1:19 resulting in a goal. This Pens shift was 1:15, almost identical.

They weren't even trying. Can it be any obvious that the NHL is rigged? I mean come on

The shift

That was from before he became "popgun"

Did anyone else click this thread wondering why anyone was bringing up Kovalev in the 2017 Playoffs?

Actually, the Sedins own "The Shift".

That's what I expected to see when I opened this thread.

Didn't see it.

What about that Orpik shift back in the dark ages?

 

[illpucks]

Ottawa did this to Boston one game, Sens fans tell them which game and what period. You know what I mean.

The shift as a nickname is old and busted and used any times already.
