Hey guys there's live hockey on.  Mess with capella later

 

[Smoo]

I have concluded, after four periods of observation, that I strongly dislike this Bufflin guy and moderately dislike this Lye-nay guy.

 

[JaxBill]

Please. "Kilometers".

Kilometers Standish is one of my favorite characters from the first Thanksgiving.

 

[Zegras11]

Knights are going to get destroyed tonight.  6-1

Good article on Caps success vs Bolts here (sub required): 

Bourne: How Tampa Bay can better get through Washington's neutral zone forecheck  https://theathletic.com/353733/2018/05/14/bourne-how-tampa-bay-can-better-get-through-washingtons-neutral-zone-forecheck/

Can someone copy and paste this? Im not singing up for a trial to read an article.

As a Caps fan, love seeing all the Nate Schmidt love and thinking about how they left him unprotected in favor of Marcus Johansen who they then turned around and dumped for draft picks in a salary cap move. That was great and made a lot of sense

 

[Smoo]

In game one, both teams seemed to be playing awesome, Jets were just playing more awesome. This game, both teams seem to be playing very clumsy, Knights just playing less clumsy.

 

[Smoo]

Big fan of aggressive forechecking. Knights are fun to watch.

It’s an amazing website. Worth every penny.

Milbury better watch out.  Put smoo in the booth

This post-season is the first time I've watched hockey in probably 10 years. If you're looking for razor sharp insight, you're looking in the wrong place.

 

[Capella]

I’m enjoying the smoo takes.

I thought you used to be a big fan of hockey (maybe not)? Just lost interest?

I think you're overestimating the height of the bar

I used to be a big fan of all sports. Don't watch football anymore either. Yes, lost interest.

 

[Smoo]

Probably. I don't know the quality of the feed you're listening to. I'm watching CBC.

 

[Smoo]

Hey, you ridiculous jackass, you're a defenceman. Play your damn position.

 

[Zegras11]

Fleur-de-turd

 

[Smoo]

That was pretty deserved. They certainly were playing like they wanted it.

 

[JaxBill]

Can somebody please explain to fans they can't mock the opposing goalie when they're losing 2-1 to said goalie?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I hope I'm wrong, but I have that sixth sense sports nerd feeling Vegas is going to the final.  Would be a cool story, sure.  But the Peg story is better IMO, even though the casual fan would likely disagree.

Funny, but it's my understanding that the chanting isn't mocking, it's attempting to get under his skin so he'll screw up. It really never works, though.

You mean that sixth sense sports nerd feeling that has about the same hit rate as random chance, but yet still is something real?

 

[zoonation]

Jets looked like Tiger on the golf course when his gluten weren’t firing.  This is six at least now.   Awful effort from the team from the armpit of Canada.

Mines usually right.

Don't test me bro, I'm rooting for Peg. 

 

[Smoo]

 the armpit of Canada.  

Further south and stinkier to find the proper anatomical expression.

Yours is right 100% of the times you remember. Which, interestingly, is about the same number of times as those you don't remember.

Me too. #######, not armpit.

Lol

Peg still wins.  But this will be a series

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!~

 

[Zegras11]

I'd like to see a Zoo-Smoo IBrawl Dr D would be proud of.

 

[Smoo]

Peg still wins.  But this will be a series 

And a fun one, based on the first two games.

Peg wasn’t really in that game from the outset.  Last time that happens.  

Vegas barn tough to win in.  Not Nashville game 7 tough, but will be a battle.

Time to switch over to the round ball.

Soccer? Baseball? Can't think of any other sports worth watching with a round ball.

Bowling, maybe?

They could only protect 3 D and they went with Niskanen,Carlson and Orlov so MJ90 really wasn't even in the equation to keep Schmidt.For me it was down to Orlov vs Schmidt and still think they made the wrong choice letting Nate go.

 

[Bill Brasky]

fire Paul Maurice imo

 

[Dickie Dunn]

other than Bucky actually being Rob Blake, I thought that was probably the case. 

Ahem! Have you already forgotten my ill-fated stint as Don Sweeney?

 

[Bill Brasky]

bummer there’s no game tonight.  maybe Ben Hur is on PAX or something
