oh look another epic collage I just love reposting them
>>67530263
This, never found collage shit funny
>>67530157
Rinne doesn't even crack the top 5
1. Bishop
2. Holtby
3. Schneider
4. Quick
5. Lundqvist
Obviously Price goes near the top if he comes back at 90-100%, pushing Lundqvist out. I'd put Andersen at #6 before Rinne.

lel what a brutal list
1. Rask (out of this world playoff stats and great regular season stats. Also cup winner)
2. Holtby (great regular season but choked in the playoffs)
3 .Rinne ( a little problems after being injured but when he's on, oh boy he's on. Best in the world by far)
4. Lunqvist ( steady goalie you know what you get)
5. Schneider ( solid underrated goalie)
>>67530356
In Pekka we trust
>>67530389
>>67530389

3. Quick
4. Lundqvist
5. Fleury
>>67530396
>Also cup winner
yea, being a backup in the 2011 playoffs helped the team a lot while thomas did all the work
>>67530461
doesn't matter. it is what it is.
I know he put in a freak performance on monday, but Elliott put up the highest SV% in the NHL this year. If he plays a few more games next regular season, can we start talking about at least including him among elite goalies.
>>67530421
But Finland, that's a pig!
>>67530503
He is included. The only ones who don't include him are stupid salty faggots that don't like the Blues.
>>67530516
>implying this isn't a snout-nosed pupper
>>67530424
This. Dubs is a meme goalie in the Wilds system where they never let him face alot of shots.
>>67530459
>MAF and Elliot on the list at all
Are you high?
>>67530503
he is somewhere in the top10 for me
t.
1. Rask (out of this world playoff stats and great regular season stats. Also cup winner)
2. Holtby (great regular season but choked in the playoffs)
3 .Rinne ( a little problems after being injured but when he's on, oh boy he's on. Best in the world by far)
4. Lunqvist ( steady goalie you know what you get)
5. Schneider ( solid underrated goalie)
>>67530519
Eh. As a Blues fan and someone who has been asking to use him as a true starter since the days of Halak, you have to admit the argument to be made about him not being truly elite can be made based on playing time.

>asking to use him as a true starter
Letting Elliott put up a fucking President's trophy for the team in 13-14 and then buttfucking him by bringing in shitass Ryan Miller just to suck it up in the playoffs (and scrambling every successful line) is just one of the reasons that I will never not detest fatass Hitchcuck even if he gives our city its first cup.

Not really. I wouldn't put Boston or Detroit in the same category as you retards. I also wouldn't put Nashville or St Louis in that category either if they won the cup this year. It's just the smug "fans" of Pittsburgh that belong with the hawks and kings.

Please choose the sharks. Your choke vibes should be just about enough to make them lose.

>>67533037
even at the expense of all the memeing pekka's win will bring?
lets be honest here with eachother here for just a moment. The best teams left are the penguins and the blues, and that will be the SCF. anyone who says otherwise is taking you for a ruse cruise.
>>67533106
The basedness of Filip Forsberg should counter that.
Also, Shorks only have one Swede.
More Swedes, greater chance to win.
>>67533110
penguins are a meme that's waiting for exposing. Their should be absolute trainwreck and nowhere near eastern finals(well maybe the east is the reason).
They already had bad defense start of the season and now that Määttä hasn't been near his own level after the injury(injuries?) they only have one top4 defenseman. Some of their defensemen have been overachieving like crazy and i don't think it will last for long.
>>67533153
Their defense should be absolute trainwreck*
>>67533137
Forsberg is silent this offseason
It's all Fisher, Wilson, and Josi
That's what will determine this game is if Wilson and Fish are on top of their game again
Why exactly do normal first line players become translucent in the playoffs, is it because the goalies already have watched enough tape of them to learn their habits to block them habitually and same with the team to zone in on their weaknesses or what?
>>67533110
pens will win. Hagelin will probably be a key player and the >rags can commence as usual
>>67533153
who needs good defense when you have the greatest goalie in the league. Also, their defense isn't anywhere close to a trainwreck. its good enough.
>>67533198
just look at the names. Did they all became good defensemen in this season suddenly? Daley wasn't even good enough to play in Dallas.

What lucky calls were there in game 6?
I MIGHT grant you Pavelski's goal (but not really, because it was called no-goal on the ice--had it been called the other way, I don't think NSH would have won a challenge. It's hard to overturn goal decisions), but if you can't overcome one poorly officiated game in a 7 game series, then you aren't "clearly better."

i mean pavelski getting high sticked right in front of the ref and blood being drawn, and absolutely nothing being called

>power play guarantees a win, I swear
Also, obviously the ref DIDNT see it. Why else wouldn't it be called? Take off any tinfoil you are wearing before replying.

theres a decent chance it would have changed the game
also I never said the ref saw and decided not to call, I just said it happened right in front of him, but it was the player with the puck
