Kuznetsov has no chance of winning the Conn Smythe. If Crosby won it over Kessel that one time then it goes to show the voters either give it to Superstar Captain or the winning goaltender.

Eric the Mauve posted:Kessel was awesome in 2016 but Crosby was way better Maybe my perception of Crosby vs. Kessel in 2016 was colored by the fact that Washington shut down Crosby and got torched by Kessel that series. I’ll be honest I don’t remember much after Washington was eliminated. But I swear I thought most decent analysts thought Kessel should have won.

Tom Wilson is actually good at hockey. Shocking but true. It took me most of this season to come to that realization.

You would think being a Boston fan could help you understand that a shithead can also be good at hockey.

What did Perron do to raise people’s ire? I didn’t see what happened.

Pornographic Memory posted:There's people calling for Perron to get 10 games for this because they think he left the bench during or to start an altercation. I don't think Perron should get suspended because he didn't really do anything that bad but it seems like it might be an automatic suspension if the NHL really wanted to enforce their rules (they don't): quote:70.1 I dunno it seems really dumb on Perron's part because he risked a 10 game suspension to cross-check Ovechkin once in the back.

Ginette Reno posted:Seems pretty cut and dry that Perron deserves 10 games. The rule book is clear. Yeah but there's all sorts of gray area about what constitutes "starting an altercation" and the NHL is likely just going to sweep this under the rug.

It's not even like the series against the Rangers in the past where the Rangers actually were playing disciplined. It's poo poo like the missed boarding call where Paquette pasted Orpik in Game 7, Tuch's elbow to Orlov's head, the Reaves cross-check. I accept that the refs are going to let obstruction go even if that's horseshit too, but these are blatant non-obstruction penalties that the refs are willingly not calling.

Brooks Orpik legit had a good game and also scored the game winning goal in the Capitals’ first ever Stanley Cup Finals win. Also Holtby good.

I mentioned it in the GDT but if Tuch scored that would have been one of the biggest bullshit bad luck bounces in the history of bad bounces that have gone against the Capitals. Thankfully it didn’t matter.

Is it weird that I think the Capitals will be fine even if Kuznetsov is out? Eller has been playing like a 2C and Backstrom is basically a 1C who was playing 2C because of Kuznetsov. I guess the third line might struggle a bit with Stephenson as center instead of Eller but even Stephenson has been pretty good this postseason. It sucks but whatever, Caps in 6.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Eller is very inconsistent. Sometimes he's excellent, sometimes he shits the bed He shits the bed by taking stupid penalties, which he'd take whether he's on the second or third line. When he's not taking penalties he's been great. Dude has 17 points in 21 playoff games.

Kawalimus posted:Didn't the caps trade that one guy who used to play for the Blackhawks(forget his name) straight up to the Blues for TJ Oshie? Because the guy was "a winner" with "cup experience"? Troy Brouwer. It wasn't a straight up trade but it might as well have been because the adds on Washington's end were minimal, including a third round pick and Pheonix Copley (who eventually got traded back to DC in the Shattenkirk trade). It was a bad trade from STL's point of view but at least Brouwer had a good playoff run with them and they were smart enough to let him walk as a UFA (Calgary then hilariously overpaid for him). Brouwer was the worst. He was the first person willing to be critical of the team in interviews but I never once heard him talk about how he was part of the problem and needed to be better. He padded his stats on a lethal PP and was otherwise useless. He had 9 points in 35 playoff games with Washington and he wasn't even good with Chicago, where he only had 10 points in 43 playoff games. Washington traded a first rounder to Chicago for him solely because he won a Cup, as you stated, and of course it backfired. Mind_Taker fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Jun 4, 2018 |
