I don't like it when good players leave Tampa Bay, because it's sort of like that episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" when the girl breaks that young dudes machine thingy and it turns out he's actually an old man who is not as young as he appears. For St. Louis and Lecavalier, when they left, it's like they are not as good as we thought they were, and it's kind of sad. On the plus side, at least MSL has 1000 points. I remember people arguing he would never make it into the HHOF a bunch of years ago because he would probably never hit 1000. Oh wait, this was HFBoards, nevermind.

Lundqvist will play 70+ games in the regular season, and he's a hell of a player too. This coach is great about not wearing guys down, especially after an Olympic year in which they went to the finals. That's also why, since they've clinched, Tanner Glass is playing 15 minutes per night.

Top Hats Monthly posted:Who said that? His first practice was like, yesterday. Michael Russo @Russostrib 34m34 minutes ago Yeo said it's up to Matt Cooke's conditioning, but Tuesday at #blackhawks is a "realistic goal" for a return from sports hernia #mnwild i hope he has a horrible setback due to chronic diarrhea e: really, though, i can't think of anything worse than matt cooke out there trying to prove he needs to be in the lineup.

LmaoTheKid posted:The way AV rolls his lines this really doesn't matter. Yeah it's basically 3 first lines and the one that's playing the best that night gets the most icetime. And then the 4th line which still gets a lot of icetime even though Tanner Glass plays on it  St Louis has been pretty decent but I think without the heavy minutes yeah he's not going to hit the points marks he used to. Hopefully this injury actually let him rest a bit and playing with Hayes will get him going. I often feel he just needs to shoot the goddamn puck more often because he'll try to dink around with it and make bad passes instead of putting it on net. Hopefully with Hayes controlling the puck more often St Louis will feel more like shooting

The Kings are worse than Tank Wars bad in overtime. The thing that literally got them the Cup last year. That is a perverse and disgusting form of magnificent. Also lol Buffalo and Arizona having half the qualifying standings value.

Trevor Bird posted:http://imgur.com/B9EfoNZ then you'll enjoy weber beating the hell out of him earlier this year That's wonderful. The face of a shithead realizing he's pissed off a star bad enough to actually pummel him is priceless. It reminds me exactly of Thornton punking Ott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0DomVGAM9E This makes me sad knowing that Thornton's not in the playoffs. Whenever the Rangers choke each year I basically root for him to get a ring. He's easily been a top 5 center over the past decade but gets so much poo poo. Not to mention the dude is basically a gigantic hilarious stoner THE MACHO MAN fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Apr 2, 2015 |

8.3 points for a Regulation Win (this is what everyone wants, right) 7 points for an OT Win (4v4 is kind of a copout but at least you didn't make us watch the shootout) 1.4 points for an OT Loss (dude you lose. I wanted to give you zero points but then how do I punish shootouts?) 0 points for a Shootout Win (yay you won a stupid contest) -28 points for a Shootout Loss (wtf you made me watch that whole thing and you can't even beat Marc-Andre Fleury? gently caress you. -28) Blue teams are playoff teams. Green ones are wildcard.  I think this does the best job of giving the fans what they want. No Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh and no Pekka Rinne to ruin everyone's fun.

Levitate posted:holy good crap I did not realize Zajac only has 23 points this year and is on year 2 of an 8 year deal worth $5.75 mill per year He's like a slower version of Gomez with way better defensive skills. He does not shoot a lot, isn't put it in the chest bad like Gomez, but his lines always generate good corsi numbers. Even pre advanced stats days I always thought he was one of those 2nd liner playmakers totaly dependent on having good linemates but I did not think finish the season with 25 points bad. But yeah that deal bad. On that note, I have no idea why the Devils didn't move Gomez for a pick. he has 33 points in 51 games. That ain't half shabby for a guy who everyone figured was done three years ago, even with sheltered minutes.
