I'm tellin' ya I've been playing ice since I was a wee lad and I'm pretty good but there's ex pros that play in my A league in the summer and they can make me look like poo poo. One dude played in the OHL and had similar numbers to Trotz and he's pretty nasty.

Trotz would make your average beer leaguer look like poo poo probably even in A leagues with good d3 players.

I can't even imagine how good NHL players are. We have a goon goalie whose name escapes me who practices sometimes with NHLers over the summer and I'm kinda envious even though said players would make me look worse than a cone.

I was playing pickup long ago years after playing prep and low level college. I defended the other team's obviously best player a few times and held my own, which I was happy with. Then one rush he sped up and just went around me effortlessly, I barely touched him, and he scored without the keeper having any chance. In the locker room later I was told he'd been a pro in the Czech league and just held back most of the time so as not to ruin it for everyone.


I hope that is what the Capitals have been doing.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

Man, check it out, I agree with all of that. I'm there with you. I haven't been skating as long as you have, but I've played pickups and scrimmages with ECHL and AHL scrubs and they kick all sorts of piss out of everyone else on the ice.

But it's still just... Barry Trotz, man. That's all it is.

The first five games of the series ruled and the lightning thought the they won and the next two games were just scrimmages.

Imo no bad outcome for the scf. Vegas is max comedy and chaos option, which is hard to deny. But ovi is the poo poo and should get a cup.

My heart kind of wants VGK just for the absurdity. But I think this will be the first round where everyone has accepted that they’re the real deal and not just a novelty, which narratively makes sense that it would be when they’ve finally earned respect that they lose, so yeah

The Caps will bombard the gently caress out of MAF and win the first two games in Vegas by a combined 9-2, and then proceed to lose the next four games to Malcolm Subban or whoever their backup is at the moment.
