2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs: All hail the Blackhawks, mudbutt (3 Viewers)

Huge show up game by the Rangers. Win or lose this series, they didnt give up. I think the dirty play late helps the Rangers in game 5. They are 60% in their last 10 power plays (who would have thought I would ever write that). Refs will call it tight in first few minutes Sunday.

 
Bolts controlled the play for 40 minutes. I'm still confident. It sucks that they quit in the third but they've done that all year. :shrug:

The biggest concern is Bishop. Maybe some of those goals weren't his fault but you aren't winning anything if your goalie just makes the saves he should make. IMO

 
It was kind of.like game 2. Rangers controlled play and heavily outshot the bolts but couldn't finish.

Great series so far. The way it should be trying to get to the cup final.

Best of three

What type of watch was Bishop wearing? This is a huge indicator of how successful he is.

Is he well on his way to 8 figures? That's another indicator IMHO :shrug:

 
At least 2 of the goals were not bishops fault tonight. I don't know. I can't decide if he is ok or sucks.....BUT.....

That goal he let up to brassard in game 3 to open the scoring was terrible. He left 2 feet short side. I coulda have scored on that one.

 
Generational talents: McDavid vs. Gretzky, Lemieux, Lindros and Crosby
McDavid’s scores on the testing, which measured things like vertical jump, broad jump and grip strength, suggest he’s on his way to a walk-in closet stacked with new pairs of shoes. Reeboks, of course. Hopf said McDavid showed as well as any of the 40 or so players testing, and that his power numbers rated as NHL-ready. That’s scary considering McDavid is only 6-foot-1 and 187 pounds. It implies he has a massive ceiling and, as Hopf suggested with a nod to Roberts, that McDavid is one well-trained athlete.

“It comes down to – his nervous system is just prepared,” Hopf said. “He isn’t fully grown yet. He still has another 15 or 20 pounds of muscle to put on him. Yet he still possesses that instinctual and very organic power, which isn’t natural.”

Unnatural in this case means blessed physically. So it seems McDavid shares that gift with the icons who preceded him. For Francis, though, the universal connection between the superstars isn’t about sharing a trait, but sharing the lack of a trait.

“When you look at players, most of the time they all have flaws, whether it’s maybe they don’t skate well, maybe they don’t think the game as well, maybe they aren’t as physically big in stature,” he said. “When you get to the guys you’re talking about, they don’t have flaws that bring them down to everybody else’s level. It allows them to be on a different page.”

According to scouts so far, McDavid fits that bill. He rates as elite on his brain, hands, speed and shot. He’s lauded for his heart and willingness to take a hit to make a play. He has all the trappings of that elusive generational talent. Francis said McDavid’s speed is NHL-ready and that he couldn’t find a flaw in his game.
