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
I think Skinner came out when he shouldn't have . No one was playing like the goalie was pulled
Just spent the company's money and it always feels good, almost right to the dollar that I was allowed to spend, LOL
They have lots of money.😃
anyone wanna guess which team won the xg or who the best/worst players on either team were before i look it up? could be a fun game lol
loilers won the xg 59%
best stars xg: steel 84%, robertson 67%, smith 57%, petrovic 56%, tanev 53%
worst stars xg: pavelski 22%, marchment 23%, duchene 25%, suter 30%, heiskanen 33%
bset oilers xg: nurse 69%, mcdavid 69%, mcleod 69%, bouchard 69%, foegele 67%
worst oilers xg: ryan 18%, kulak 21%, ceci 42%, brown 47%, carrick 49%
another good game from the loilers, all but 2 players showed up, and they even wasted a better than average game from ceci ... you hate to see it. and developing story: think we're now 2/2 bad games from heiskanen
Wow, what a shot by Lafreniere. Ridiculously good.
And they score again.
RuhRohBob
lafreniere szn
actually, looking at his stats he's always been good. especially after his rookie season. good thing they fired dumbass gallant before they ruined him
also trochek seems to be haunting the panthers, hmm
lotta rangers fans in the building rn
prob not smrt to elbow a guy in the head when there's already a delayed penalty, but trouba loves doing dumb **** like that
lmao bob
you let barclay goodrow score on you twice, retire bitch
i didn't think florida was capable of being this bad
can't remember the last time I saw a guy get 2 minors in one sequence against different opposing players. well done trouba.
well well well
how does a guy get that open of a look off of an O-zone faceoff?
rangers with the "defense optional" 3rd period strategy
1st period xg: 65% panthers
2nd period xg: 62% panthers
3rd period xg: 79% panthers (high danger chances were 7-1)
they want it more, but lolbob still might sink them
lol panthers
did not have Wennberg with the game winner
1st period xg: 65% panthers
2nd period xg: 62% panthers
3rd period xg: 79% panthers (high danger chances were 7-1)
lol they won the overtime xg 74% too
71% for the game as a whole
deport bob ldo
best panthers xg: tkachuk 92%, lundell 81%, verhaeghe 79%, mikkola 77%, montour 75%
worst panthers xg: kulikov 37%, cousins 41%, stenlund 43%, luostarinen 43%, lomberg 52%
tkachuk was horrible last game but bounced back in a massive way, unfortunately bob rendered that moot, like a cow's opinion. 4 guys were a little mediocre, but everyone else won the day. wow
best rangers xg: goodrow 73%, cuylle 58%, panarin 53%, trochek 52%, lafreniere 50%
worst rangers xg: kreider 7%, chytil 9%, zibanejad 11%, kakko 16%, wennberg 16%
what can you say really? sometimes the bar ..... well he gets you
bobrovsky with his .902 sv% is a major question mark, he hasn't really been good since the 2019 playoffs lol
[... rangers] will likely go as far as shesterkin can carry them, which might be all the way.
[...] smart money prob on the rag$ in 6 or 7, because home ice and the massive advantage in net.
not great, bob
the day the music died if you're a sunrise catz fan:
On 1 July 2019, Bobrovsky signed a seven-year, $70 million contract with the Florida Panthers.
he turns 36 this year btw lmao

guy almost had a zeros across the board tony snell game, incredible. just getting some cardio work in
a game this bad might mean that he's playing injured. keep an eye on that going forward too i guess
edit: yeah he was 18% xg in game 1 of this series, might be hurt. who knows
Staff is getting a lot of crap about the pull, but Kane is somehow evading criticism as he tries to beat a guy 1 on 1 in a hopeless attempt instead of ringing the boards or chipping it deep.
Yeah but Bouchard literally moved out of the way of the shot like he thought his goalie was still there
Well that was quite a game, lol
Marner and Berube met for a coffee. My guess is Berube saying get your s!@# together! But that's just my guess.😉
Trying to identify the coffee shop..
hortons, definitely
