Wings for second round this year
>The dream
4TH FOR PENG-WINS
shinkaruk has 2 goals now
WHY CANT THIS FAGGOT DO ONE FUCKING THING RIGHT?
real thread
>>66622744
so can someone explain how the ahl playoffs work?
isles or rags on thursday? neither will likely want to play the pens, can they both lose somehow?
>>66622794
>Literal Retard
yup
>Gravel, {GRA-VELLE}
why
11th for wings
>>66622803
its like regular playoffs except NHL teams can abduct AHLers at will and totally torpedo their chances
>kongs
how many of you actually played hockey growing up?
>>66622823
Isles are 3-0 in the season series.
>>66622823
Isles obviously. Rags are terrible at playing the Islanders.
>>66622847
no i mean the seeding, like the team in first in the west has fewer points that half the teams below them, what's up with that
>>66622867
>>66622863
both true. isles do tend to show up more to those games, rags tend to look soulless under AV
Which nhl superstar has the smelliest farts?
>>66622895
Yeah but as an Isles fan, id rather the Rags play the Pens. Isles and Pens makes some good games but the Pens are good against the Isles.
who /hypedforplayoffs/ here?
>>66622912
i'm also an isles fan and i agree. normally i wouldn't really mind playing the pens but they are white hot right now. thankfully we are getting hamonic back.

Dubs and Don Cherry has an aneurysm at the start of the playoffs and dies.
We were raised
With the stick
And a pair of blades
On the ice we cut our teeth
We took our knocks
In the penalty box
Our mother was the referee
This sport was here
Before we came
It will be here when we're gone
The game's in our blood
And our blood's in the game
Lay us down under
A frozen pond
We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey
A big blue line runs around our state
A line that can't be crossed
The day they try to take this game
Is the day the gloves come off
We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey.

>>66622873
Basically, since the Pacific division now exists, and they play fewer games due to travel costs, everyone is based of point%
From the website:
"The top four teams in each of the AHL’s four divisions as ranked by points percentage (points earned divided by points available) will qualify for the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs, with one possibility for a “crossover” in each conference: if the fifth-place team in the Atlantic or Central Division finishes with a better points percentage than the fourth-place team in the North or Pacific Division, it would compete in the other division’s bracket (see diagram at right).
Home-ice advantage in all series will be grantede to the team with the higher points percentage.
The division semifinals will be best-of-five series. All other series are in a best-of-seven format. "

Passport/citizenship determines nationality. You might not like it, but it does.
Besides, he grew up here.
There are no objective factors that determine what it takes to be "swedish", "finnish", "australian". So there is no point in even having that discussion.
>He has those Finnish genes that let him excel, if he was Swedish he would be a nobody.

That was the Sharks year. That team was so stacked. Thornton, Marleau, Cheechoo, Koralyuk, Dimmitrakos, Ekman, Goc, Ernhoff & McLaren with the tinted window. Crazy to think 10 years later Thornton is still a dominant force. If they make it out of the 1st round I would bet on a WCF berth. The current roster looks playoff built.

The Yakupov goal was better because the Oilers were actually holding a Playoff spot and that game put them 7 points ahead of L.A.
Ralph Kruger requested defensive help at the deadline and instead got a 4th line plug from his GM. Rather than reward a step forward, that off-season he got fired over Skype by Craig MacTavish in favour of Dallas Eakins.
The players they pick aren't busts. The management was JUST absolutely shit and subsequently the players suffered from it.

Its quite comical how often oilers and leafs trade scraps to one another.
>>66628205
It's almost like finding a couch in a landfill and shipping it over the other landfill in town
So is it official that the pens are gonna win the Stan-lee bowloff?

lol who is this guy, looks familiar?
>>66628154
I got pneumonia a few weeks ago. All healed, but it'll take 6-8 weeks to get rid of the cough
>>66628232
The marincin trade was a head scratcher though. Hes a +1 on the worst team in the nhl and a -4 lastyear with the oilers. He's obviously not going to be winning a norris but he still seems like a solid 3rd or even a 2nd pairing defenseman.
>>66628239

No questions he's steady defensively but doesn't his lack of physicality frustrate you? The guy is 6'5 I wish he would have asserted himself more.
>>66628453
He's European. Most euros aren't physical at all. But yeah he should definitely use his size. He would benefit from a little weight too. He's 200 lbs at 6'4. If he gained 15 to 20 he would be much better off.
>>66628453
I kind of hated him for most of the season but he's a good possession player and seems to compliment Rielly well.

If any of you Pongs fans knew anything about the history of hockey, you'd realize the Pongs are barreling towards a first round exit.
>hottest month was in march
>blowing out other teams
>backup goaltender on fire
Sounds like last season's Senators to me.
With 2013 as an outlier season -- and let's be real, with only 48 games played it was a meme season -- no Stan Lee cup winning team in the past six seasons has done a fantastic job towards the end of the season. The Kongs only won 5 games in their last 10 in 2014 and 2012. The 2015 Blackhawks lost their final four games.
inb4 >b-b-buts
>>66628767
I think it helps that the Pongs have elite special teams and possession stats and that McDonaugh is out with a concussion.
>>66628816
The Rags are a complete wildcard. Their players aren't even that good but they still manage to squeak by. Pongs will probably get refpucked out of the first round by some jew refs

The history argument hasn't helped or hurt your points because it has demonstrated both success and failure when a team gets hot in March. But what history suggests is that late regular season records are inaccurate predictors of the playoffs outcome. You cannot with certainty say your team is going to win or lose the Stan Lee cup just because of their late-season performances.
>>66629223
Do you understand the concept of speculation? Are you autistic?
>>66629223
>You cannot with certainty say your team is

Fucking redditors, I made a comment saying how the Calder trophy is to be given to the most proficient player, and McDavid is by far the most proficient, yet all the Blackhawks fags come out and downvote me saying he can't win because he missed half the season.
They don't understand proficiency is how skilled they are, not how many points they put up and whether they win or not.

>>66629289
McDavid has a case just based on the fact that McDavid was 12 when Panarin first started playing Pro-Hockey. Imagine Taylor Hall or Tyler Sequin going to Russia next season and winning the rookie of the year award. Not to mention he's 2nd in PPG% league wide. I wouldn't be mad if he lost though, Panarin is still eligible on a technicality and he is having one hell of a season.
If you sift through the memes you can honestly get better hockey discussion here. Reddit communities usually become hive-minded and HFboards is mired with delusional arm chair GM's.

Not a fan of Karlsson at all, and not really trying to justify that play, but he was obviously playing the percentages in that situation. He must not have noticed all the forwards were overloading his side of the ice (they really shouldn't be doing that) and he assumed there would be someone over on the left side. Still a really bad decision without actually looking to see if someone is there. Should have cycled the puck back around to his d partner, or just flicked it out. He had a case of the 'Ales Hemsky's', where there are so many options and you still end up choosing the worse one.
>>66631891
He earned it. He's completely turned around an organization that was self-destructing and ruining player development.
>>66631977
if you watch the play it came immediately after a clean faceoff win on the other side of his net. he collects the puck behind the net and here he has plenty of options. he chooses to hold onto the puck and skate directly and slowly into kessel which leaves him stuck here >>66630663 where he then passes directly to bonino with tons of space.
he made about every mistake he could on the play

The obvious play here is off the glass and out. But why karlsson racks so much points up is his world class passing can usually make up for poor decisions like this, and his all world skating can usually make up for mistakes like this.

it looks more like a set break out play where he should pass it to the guy on the boards who will then chip it up past the blue line. that would explain why the other 2 forwards eventually end up over there. he tried to do too much
>>66622860
I played from 6-14. My highlight moment was our team playing in one of these regional tournaments we have where its like you drive out to a random city in the GTA and a bunch of different teams play together. John Tavares was on the other team and was fucking obliterating us every shift, like as soon as he got the puck you couldn't really stop him he was just way faster and generally better like it's crazy playing agaisnt someone like that you feel helpless. So becuase I couldn't really keep up with him, and being a defensemen, I just tripped him when he got past me, he fell and slammed into the boards, got up, adn started cussing me out like real hard, and the Teen ref got in between us and ended up giving him a penalty for trying to fight me while I somehow didn't get a penalty. It was a great moment, we still lost like 8-2 though.
>>66633354

>>66633845
It's generally bad form, but that's something each coach has a different feeling towards. Some are never ok with it and will continue to tell the players to stop doing it even when it works nicely, and the others will only be ok with it when the skilled/smart players do it. If they see the bottom 6 dmen or grinder/goon forwards pulling that shit they tend to get upset really quickly. The pay off just isn't high enough to make that play over taking the safe route and wiring it around the boards/icing it.
>>66633764
I still think one of the forwards was too far over. It looks like both are competing for space thinking they are in the right spot. There should have been one closer to the middle of the ice to spread out Pittsburghs defenders and give Karlsson another option. Karlsson still should have made that pass though. Clearly a case of over thinking a simple play.

It should be Q but he will never get proper recognition from the voters.
Oh well, he will just keep winning Cups and piling up the W's

His low point totals started in January. Was goat in November and December (13in13, 13in14) and did great in the little bit he played in October (5in2). His point production fell off when RNH went down and McDavid came back. This is not surprising at all. RNH was given more minutes against top lines while Draisaitl received more minutes against the bottom 6. Then when RNH got injured, Draisaitl was forced to take on his burdens, as was Hall who was on the same line. McDavid comes back and of course he is going to get the easier matchups to capitalize on his offensive skill, so Draisaitl continued to play the tougher role against top lines. He's looked decent when he consider how many minutes he's played against other teams top lines. He's stayed reasonably healthy the whole time too, which is a great sign for fans use to fragile young stars. If he adds more endurance and works on his foot speed he will become a dominant force down the middle.

They're going to give the alumni a good show. McDavid won't disappoint, I guarantee it!
