The Man Known as Dan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The worst part of this year is that we played well enough in the playoffs to fucking re-hire our idiot coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 What was up with the North Stars and weird mergers? Not just splitting off to form the Sharks but also merging with the Cleveland Barons in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm happy for Thornton, though I am sad that Sharkenfreude is no longer a thing. We'll always have the Caps, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 They need to get Joe 4 goals in the final! Quote I'd have my cock out if I scored four goals. I'd have my cock out, stroking it. Joe's a fucking beaut! Let's go Sharks! Great season for the Blues and they'll be back and better as Tank and the other younger guys mature. It'll be interesting to see where they go with Backes and if they bring back Hitch (likely, unfortunately). I'd love to see a more aggressive coach there, as St. Louis has the firepower to play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have no complaints. The Blues actually made it to the conference finals, so this was a wildly successful season in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I will be unbelievably disappointed if Lucy moves the football on San Jose yet again. It just doesn't feel right at all the way they've played this year. Tampa's defense is good, but I feel like they're too slow to cope with the Sharks speed. Pittsburgh's defense, I'm still not sold on yet even though they are in a conference final. Tarasenko disappearing in the playoffs will be blamed all on Hitchcock, because Hithcock is an awful ogre and nobody likes him. But part of it has to fall on him too. This was "first third of Datsyuk's career we're not allowed to discuss" levels of invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think most disappearing acts in the playoffs would bite your hand off for 15 points in 20 games (26 in 33 career playoff games), much less a 24 year old who's been fucked around by his coach. Vlasic did a number on him during this series, to be sure, but let's not write off his strong play against Chicago and Dallas. And didn't he have two different goals called back on close offside replays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Honestly, even with the points, I thought Tarasenko played pretty blah most of the playoffs. He had one thing, his Wrist Shot. He usually has a much more complete game, and it flat out wasn't there this post-season. Now Robby Fabbri, on the other hand, made me think he could become a fucking star this playoffs.

Death From Above Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Crosby put up three game winners, which is about all you're going to get from anyone anymore. Malkin... Goddamn when he goes he's the best player on earth to watch, but that's becoming rarer and rarer. It's amazing how much good support they are getting in Pittsburgh right now though. And their kid goalie is a great story. Imagine trying to tell someone at the start of the year during the hours Martin Jones was a Bruin backup that Martin Jones and Matt Murray would be the two goalies to open a Stanley Cup final.

Death From Above Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Serious question. Does Drouin stay with Tampa now for a long time? What a weird season this kid had. Steve Yzerman really is the ultimate "it's not personal, it's just business" guy right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 On 5/25/2016 at 10:28 PM, Death From Above said: While we're on the subject of trades, was there a better move in this season than San Jose willing to take a shot on Martin Jones? He doesn't get a lot of press but the guy has been a rock. This offseason will have so many goaltending stories with the expansion draft approaching. What does Tampa do with Bishop and Vasilevskiy? MAF in Pittsburgh now that Murray has won the starting job? Detroit with Howard? If you are Dallas do you take a run at either MAF or Bishop? All of the problems with Drouin are now over. If anything it gives Yzerman more leverage in negotiations with Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The Bonino Punjabi goal calls are the best, there's another one from the Caps series too. As soon as he scored last night, my buddy Jay sent me a text that was nothing but " Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino Bonino, etc. etc." Sports are always the best when its not English jackasses talking over them.
