Wish I saw it. But would I of stuck with it at 6-2? Can’t believe Oilers tied it at 6.

Eventually I stopped missing goals by changing the channel. The larger issue was staying awake. I'll conserve energy better today so I don't have this issue for the Blues game.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 11:32 pm now 9-6. Hatty for Tkachuk. Still a couple more minutes for more goals or for Kane and Lucic to fight
Those fans lost touch with reality after Tom Wilson just beat the crap out of them last season. They still have a good team as long as they have the best goalie in the world though.BluesSK wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 10:31 pmTalking with a Rangers fan is like;Dave's a mess wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 12:41 pmThe Blais worship out of NYR fans is just bizarre. I liked him when he was here and everything, but for a guy that can't stay healthy and has never scored 10 goals in a season, I just don't get it. He has 0 goals and 4 assists with the Rangers in 14 games. Many NYR fans are happy they have him instead of Buchnevich's 76 points in 73 games. It's just wild to see.BluesSK wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 12:07 pm Imagine no more a fanbase getting this excited about a fourth line plug coming off the IR.
The comments.
So Krieder is having a great year!
Rangers Fan: yeah it's ok
How about Adam Fox? Norris trophy!
Rangers Fan: yeah not bad.
What about that Shesterkin guy? Incredible season!
Rangers Fan: yep, pretty decent.
So I hear Sammy Blais is coming back from his injury?
Rangers Fan: OMG! Sammy is back!!! Woohoo! Can't wait!
When Brady ends up in St Louis and after his career is over I want his statue out front to have two cold ones in the back pocket.Dave's a mess wrote: Thu May 19, 2022 8:50 am The Tkachuk boys were absolutely killing it last night:
Matthew's hat trick is honestly just a footnote to an incredible performance from the family last night.
Every time I was ready to go to bed something else would happen. Was truly a wild playoff game. It's going to be a fun series to watch. I'm team Calgary.BillP. wrote: Thu May 19, 2022 1:31 amWish I saw it. But would I of stuck with it at 6-2? Can’t believe Oilers tied it at 6.
It's a common saying that the refs 'swallow their whistles' during the playoffs (Although I haven't seen any data to support that universally, it seems to be true), so there would be less special-teams play. That can lead to two philosophies: with less PP/PK time, you should focus on 5-on-5 play OR if you DO get a special teams opportunity, you really want to make sure to take full advantage of it.Dave's a mess wrote: Fri May 20, 2022 10:18 am Florida had the 5th best PP in the regular season, but still don't have a PP goal in the playoffs, and it's absolutely killing them against Tampa. Very reminiscent of what happened to the Blues the last couple of years when they didn't do anything on the PP in the playoffs until their series were already pretty much over if memory serves me correct.
I recall hearing that a big difference in the playoffs vs. regular season is that the special teams meetings and especially PKs are much much more detailed. Coaches have more time to dig into a specific team's PP structure rather than just giving a cliff notes version before moving onto another team the next game. Makes the Blues special teams all that much more impressive this playoff year.
I'll never forget that. He absolutely leaped at Fuhr! Probably cost us a real shot at our first Cup that year.JMC-STL wrote: Sun May 22, 2022 1:00 pm The Leafs are kicking themselves over not having a chance to bowl over Binnington first ...
