Is it Authentic? If so, you should keep it and maybe wear it when the Sharks come to town.

If it's a Premier, just remove the glued Sharks logo and sew on a Lightning logo on it.

Rask is fine, Lindholm looks like a bust.

Playcalling decides all games. If you think about it, if all the pros are pros, then the tactics should be more about strategy realistically. But sometimes great players do make an impact.

But no other sport allows you to stop and call a new play based on what just happened. Sure, an NHL coach can shout from the bench, but by then it might be too late.

All 4 Stanley Cup winning coaches were in their first year with the team.

The Steelers have had 3 coaches in 45 years.
>>
>>68405823
In hockey for the most part you just need an average coach. There's only a few shitty ones that have a massive (negative) impact. This year that group included Johnston, Roy, Hartley, off the top of my head, not sure who I'm missing.

There's also guys like Babcock who is really really good with systems, to the extent where he somehow got the Leafs to be above 50% possession with that godawful roster. But obviously good systemic results + possession doesn't result in goals if the horses ain't there.

Your team is fine as long as you have an average guy who makes questionable lineup choices now and then (all NHL coaches do) but doesn't actively harm the team systemically.

Centers who win the scoring race are about 33 percent more likely than wingers to win the Conn Smythe, and those who lead the Cup-winning team in scoring are almost twice as likely.

In absolute terms, there have been 16 goalies, 14 centers and nine defensemen to win the Conn Smythe, but only four left wingers and five right wingers.

Steve Babineau/Getty Images
Of them, Henrik Zetterberg was the only left winger to win since 1994-95, and last year, Patrick Kane was the first right winger since 1981-82. Part of the problem for wingers is that it's usually a center who leads the postseason in scoring, exactly 75 percent of the time in fact. But even among those wingers in the remaining quarter, there are only three Conn Smythe winners: Yvan Cournoyer, Guy Lafleur and Leach.

You have no idea man. I flipped my phone upside down and put it diagonally the way I had it whenever the pongs won games in the SCF. I picked it up to shitpost after the 2-2 equalizing goal last game and they lost. I missed two calls but who gives a fuck. Last series whenever I would watch the game from the start the pongs lost, but whenever I picked up in the 3rd they won. So I didn't watch the first two periods of game 6 or game 7.

don't really care who argues it's silly, it worked

I sat with my left leg crossed over my right leg every fucking game during these playoffs

I had my phone down for the first period today, picked it up during the second and the Sharks scored. Put it back down in its place, and GWG comes a minute later.

During the 08/09 Super Bowl run, I watched every game after week 12 with the same two people, and during any big drive, we'd all hold my Terrible Towel.

It's not even that they're that deep, Sullivan just had the giant fucking coaching balls to put Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel on different lines and trust they could make everyone around them better. If that works (and it did), how the fuck do you defend them?
>>
>>68406454
Their blueline isn't as bad as its made out to be.

Letang is elite at everything except body checking

Schultz is a great ***OFFENSIVE ZONE*** puck distributor and puck mover but sucks at everything else trash defensively

Cole, Lovejoy and Dumoulin are underated shutdown defenders and the last 2 are solid shooters. Lovejoy is the only slow one.

Maatta was playing injured so if you're sparing him it's Pouliot and Daley that were mediocre at worst.
