The NHL Thread
For the 5 of us who post NHL stuff, here you go. Officially the season starts Tuesday October 11, although there were tw
Whew. Let’s have the 2nd of our lives.
Vegas really is Panthers West to the refs
refs really want vegas to win this one...
edit:
why did vgk spaz out on blake there, and why didn't they pick up a 2nd penalty for it?
Torts did not like what the doctor told him about Karlsson.
Time to get this PP!
How about this PP instead?
a wild svech appears
Svech!!!
bing bang boom
svech with the accidental dummy there lol
Hell of a play. Wow. Let’s go Aho!
This is going to be a long 20. Great second 2nd.
no way, it's a 2-goal lead. insurmountable. what could go wrong?
plus, 4 goals is the minimum. it's a lock!
Let’s have the 3rd of our lives.
shg incoming... :(
Keep it going!
Didn’t want that.

What a ****ing game. Let’s go Canes!
Look at those fans. They’re the ****.

Vancouver was up 3 games to 2 in the 2011 SCF iirc, yes?
also lol Torts...his dbag persona has clearly revealed itself in the last few SCF postgame interviews. It's all about him and I can see why his message eventually wears off on his players.
Starting Aidan Hill is the only card Torts has left for VGK to survive and win the SC. As a neutral fan....Farter Fart hasn't been helped by the play in front of him. But VGK clearly needs a shake-up. Maybe Aidan Hill finds championship form again? "Running it back" in game 6 really feels like it isn't going to work. Especially now that William Karlsson is out the rest of the way. FWIW the goalie change has clearly paid dividends for Carolina, yes?
Also if Torts plans to be coach VGK next season...his boy Farter Fart getting destroyed in Game 6 of the SCF could be a problem mentally (?) idk
Final shoutout to FatLucci....free Large Fries at McDonald's tomorrow! Get some!!!!
Torts is one of the coaches to bring a team back from down 3-2 with the Lightning 2 decades ago, so there's that.
With Taylor Hall playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, there are currently only 2 first overall picks from 2001-2015 to not appear in the finals. John Tavares and Nail Yakupov.
The fact that both of his teams had 10+ year playoff series win droughts broken by him in OT is wild
good ol' johnny t has quite a wild ride indeed
the finals thing obviously isn't his fault. wasted his prime massively underpaid on the dysfunctional islanders, then wasted the rest of the dysfunctional laffs because he has the misfortune of them being his hometown team, but it's good for the banter. bizarrely unlucky career to end up on a list with a stereotypical bust like yakupov
