Avs pull Roy with 3:13 left in the period to put an extra Assistant Coach on the bench. What's up thread. I'm looking forward to discussing how lots of things aren't Todd McLellan's fault

So out of morbid curiosity how often does a team lose 4 in a row in the playoffs after winning 3?

I really hope the Avs being a couple pieces away helps them get some good defenseman in FA on cheap deals because goddamn our back line is sorry.

I posted about it before but as mentioned above, it's never happened in the NBA, and coming back from 3-1 to win the series has only happened eight times, for perspective.

Man bad luck for San Jose.. also bad coaching - why was Mike Brown a regular roster player again? San Jose has historically done very well in trades, so there's a chance they may be back better next season. At the very least it's fairly likely they won't get screwed by the playoff format again next year.

Canucks and Sharks, spiritual brothers. Also, I'd be fine with either Trotz or McLellan, just lock one of them up soon please and thank you. Watching guys like Boudreau and Sutter adapt and learn how to keep winning in the modern NHL (heck even loving Mike Keenan evolving a bit!), just makes me hate Torts that much more. Go away you caveman gently caress.

I can't want the Kings or Ducks to win gently caress what am I supposed to do with myself? Is it ok to route for Boudreau to win? I love that guy. I guess it's also ok to want Selanne to win. Can someone like, baptize me after the next round from wanting a rival to win so I can be ok with certain people being happy?

Concussions are weird things and guys react to them differently. Not everyone who gets hit in the head stops being able to play hockey.

You may watch that series, you may not root for it or for any other team. It is permitted to cheer for Iggy to win the Cup, all else is haram.

Despite absolutely loathing Richards and Carter, I cheered for the Kings in 2012 just because it meant Ron Hextall got his name on the Cup. Rationalising makes it much easier, trust me.

Trevor Bird posted:trotz works with the rosters he's given. he's had high scoring teams and low scoring teams. give him the roster for the uptempo style, and you'll get fast, high-scoring hockey. he's not "rigid" and he doesn't have problems adapting. I bet the Penguins would hire Trotz if they fired Bylsma. Shero has the Nashville connection. I'm sure he'd love to have Trotz if he loses faith in Dan.

So what do Van fans really expect out of this team? Are they gonna go rebuild mode and trade away Edler and Kessler or try to pull something together?

But drat that loss stung. Probably not as bad as SJ, but between and the Superbowl, its starting to get annoying the limp dick performances we're pulling off in the playoffs.
