2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 2

[GoPre]

0 scoring chances in the 3rd for Washington.  Not a recommended strategy to use when losing.  

 

Wanted to see Ovechkin beat the Penquins and then land a Cup.  Time will slowly become a problem.  The panic of fewer and fewer chances to win a Cup will begin to increase.  Ovechkin will be 32 next season.

I fact, I'm one of those people that think they shouldn't have the anthem at pro sporting events at all.

"Those People" are the correct people.

[qwksndmonster]

Awww yisss.

[darksabre]

Well, at least Anaheim has made it 2 minutes in w/out choking it away.

You were saying?

[WildCard]

Said it before and I'll say it again, Caigula was the kiss, not Vesey

[I-90 W]

Wow garbage goal at its finest.

[Claude Balls]

Keep Backstrom, trade Ovechkin.

To the Sabres. I would take Ovie for a few years. He should still have a little left in the tank I would think. And playing with Eichel might re-energize the old man.

Not much longer than that, though.

[Randall Flagg]

Lol

[Taro T]

Faaaaaaack. Couldn't get 4 minutes in before starting the choke.

[Sabel79]

Oh no...

His contract is just insane for a winger. I mean, it's Ovi, but...

Kane+McCabe+Nylander+1st? I wouldn't wanna pay that price.

Also this.

[Thorner]

I agree. But the Canadian anthem is so good I excuse hockey of that sin.

I actually prefer how the American anthem sounds. It's a beautiful song. Blasphemous to say as a Canadian, but there ya go.

Ducks are hopeless in game 7s

[TrueBlueGED]

I decided to be a responsible adult and leave the bar after the Caps game. The start to this game is making me want to go back :wallbash:

[Randall Flagg]

The Oilers need to find a way to make their road unis pop like their home ones do.

Orange skates. :p

[Randall Flagg]

Orange skates. :p

I was thinking predators style, orange lids.

[Claude Balls]

Haha nope just switch his name around and drop the Mc that's my name.

Just think if you went out for beers with Connor McDavid and Connor McGregor, and your middle name was Connor and last name Gregory? Talk about confusion.....now I know why there are so many fights in Irish bars.

Haha true. I always joke if I had a son I'd name him Connor Connor.

I'm sure Botterill could re-work his contract.

[I-90 W]

No goal.

[Taro T]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Kane+McCabe+Nylander+1st? I wouldn't wanna pay that price.

I love Ovie, but he is not worth nearly that anymore. He will be 32 next season and he has been worn down over the years. He hits more than he scores, and as big and strong as he is, his body can't take that style of play too much longer. He looked worn out these playoffs.

[Thorner]

Exhibit A on why the Offside Challenge is stupid: weighs too heavily towards defence. Can't review that call, where Ducks shoulda had a goal.
