Top line does nothing and still tied. That’s not horrible.

Relentless!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

O/U for the Cup finals set at 7 1/2 ... for the entire series.

You can only get this kind of brilliant analysis from someone who has been watching hockey since Washington was an expansion team.

 

[The_Man]

Refs are sitting this one out. That’s fine but don’t turn around and give a cheap PP from here on out 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

It’s the Wild West out west.

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

Wilson is so dirty.

 

[Bill Brasky]

easy Eddie, it wasn’t that bad

 

[Cjw_55106]

That #### should be an automatic ejection. 

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

easy Eddie, it wasn’t that bad

The problem is the pattern of behavior.

 

[Zegras11]

amazing

 

[Bill Brasky]

That #### should be an automatic ejection. 

 

 

[Cjw_55106]

 

I’m not shocked that you enjoy blindside ##### hits. 

 

[The_Man]

That #### should be an automatic ejection. 

Suspension too!

 

[irish eyes]

Biggest piece of crap. Someone needs to seriously hurt Wilson. Its ridiculous at this point

 

[Bill Brasky]

I’m not shocked that you enjoy blindside ##### hits. 

 

he hit him from the side shoulder to shoulder.  blindside wasn’t even what was in question.  

 

[Dickie Dunn]

 

he hit him from the side shoulder to shoulder.  blindside wasn’t even what was in question.  

Exactly. He makes that same exact hit a second earlier and it’s completely clean.

 

[Zegras11]

another awesome goal

 

[dgreen]

3rd Vegas goal right next to the net with no defender on that side. 

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

Exactly. He makes that same exact hit a second earlier and it’s completely clean.

But he didn't. He never passes on a chance for a cheap shot.

 

[Zegras11]

DSP 

 

[kupcho1]

Exactly. He makes that same exact hit a second earlier and it’s completely clean.

When they slow it down you can see where Wilson pulls the crowbar out of his sock and cracks him across the head. Should get 5 games minimum

these are the moments Burakovsky lives for.  

*assuming he gets another shift in these last 7 min

 

[Doctor Detroit]

What a game. 

Meanwhile im the NBA game the Rickets fired up like 40 straight 3’s when they were up and didn’t hit a one. :X  

 

[Bill Brasky]

all eyes on Burakovsky 

 

[Bill Brasky]

how do you miss that!?!

 

[Zegras11]

We did it!

 

[Bill Brasky]

oh wow, that is baby soft, Eller

 

[Thorn]

Damn. That game deserved an OT.

 

[Bill Brasky]

We did it!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

oh wow, that is baby soft, Eller

Why is Eller one of your five (?) forwards on the ice in that situation?

 

[Bill Brasky]

Why is Eller one of your five (?) forwards on the ice in that situation?

great question.  and he’s been bad recently and in this game too.

 

[The_Man]

Why is Eller one of your five (?) forwards on the ice in that situation?

Same reason you have Ovechkin - who’s not great at keeping the puck in, or passing - at the point, ensuring he can’t shoot from his lethal spot in the circle 

 

[Capella]

Passing to Tom wilson 

/hangs self 

 

[dgreen]

Same reason you have Ovechkin - who’s not great at keeping the puck in, or passing - at the point, ensuring he can’t shoot from his lethal spot in the circle 

Not sure why it isn’t 8-19-92-77-9-74. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Passing to Tom wilson 

/hangs self 

Wilson actually made a great feed on that play, and it was a great defensive play by McNabb. Just don't know if anyone else is able to hammer that one home.

 

[Capella]

We can’t delete in here now?

So while fans of some other sport are getting excited about the prospects of watching the equivalent of Police Academy, Part 27 ...

There have never been the same two teams in the Stanley Cup finals four years in a row, despite the fact the NHL had only six teams for the first 40 years of its existence.

In the post-Original Six era, there have been only four instances of the same two teams making the finals in back-to-back years:

• Canadiens-Blues 1968 and '69
  
• Canadiens-Bruins 1977 and '78
  
• Islanders-Oilers 1983 and '84
  
• Red Wings-Penguins 2008 and '09

Bigger NHL fan than nba by far, although I enjoy both. 

Having the same finals four straight times is really dumb. Having an expansion team in your finals is way way way dumber.

I'm OK with both of these statements.

I’m not?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

No, you aren't.  You love the NBA and Fatty McGoo posts.  That Rickets performance tonight was horrific, it's an awful, unprecedented predictable sport.  It's worse than the English Premier league and most Harlem Globetrotters games. 

 

[Capella]

Cool, not in the mood for this dumb angry #### tonight. Peas.

same 3 teams have won 8 of the last 9.  until this year a Tom Wilson hit is the only thing we get blindsided with

I wish I could like the NBA the way I did when I was a kid (though I guess the 80s would have been annoying if you weren’t a fan of the Celtics, Lakers, Sixers or Pistons). But watching the Celtics clang 3 after 3 last night reminded me how much I don’t like the current style of the NBA.

It would be like an NHL team trying to devise a championship game plan of nothing but Dennis Wideman firing shots from the point.
