>>67544117
Just DVR the games and watch them when you wake up.
>>67544046
I wouldn't say vicious. Bill is a gentle soul who avoids big hits and confrontations. Hunger definitely fuels his inhuman speed and desire to score, though.

I can't do this shit with sports. I did it one time with a big olympic game when I was working and it was like that seinfeld episode with the mets where I had to tell everyone to keep their fat mouths shut.
even when I go to a game and record another at home I'll find out if the one I recorded is over yet and if its not I'll just watch the last few minutes that are left. if it is over I just fast forward to the goals.

Pens weren't shit tier in Feb. In fact they haven't lost two games in a row since mid January. But they've only gotten better since then and a pretty much fully healthy, while Tampa has some key injuries. Unless Bishop has the series of his life I don't see them hanging with the Pens very long.

karlsson, OEL, stralman, hedman, brodin, hjalmarsson, larsson, klingberg, klefbom, lindholm, and older vets like edler, kronwall, enstrom, and oduya are decent too. there is no lidstrom but it literally is never gonna get better than this for the swedes on D
only 3 weeks of work to get these
should i?
>>67544760
They combine for a -161 though which is not the best thing for D.
>>67544786
are those pictures actually from the arena? there's no logos on the ice and the lower bowl is so shallow the seats are so far away
>>67544790

I guess you don't know how lists work then? It was ranking the people that are on the list.
Now it's making sense why you had to flee North America to go get an education
>>67545881
You mean he had to flee for a proper, non-100k costing education on social studies, english or women studies?
I think he won tbg
>>67545921
Doesn't change the fact that he listed backup goaltenders alongside starting goaltenders and that there's a big difference in talent amongst those 'shit-tier' goalies.
I don't get it, isn't Finnish goaltending traditionally top of the class?

I dont know, Slovakia and Sweden both have been going down talentwise when it comes to hockey.
Czechs are total bros and dont resort to swedish /int/posting so I'd say that they are the Finland in that comparison
>>67548486
Sort of.
If Czech was connected with Hungary and Hungary was Slovakia-tier then it is an accurate statement. Finns even have their own native gypies that dress in costume.

Sweden have had more and more players go to the nhl and succeed. Always a threat in tournaments of all levels and ages. SHL is more quality than "i want to suck off my Swedish Masters" (SM)-Liiga.

Have had and has and will have. I did almost a whole month of posting the point tally of swe - fin players in the nhl. Sweden crushed Finland every single day.
Additionally, every week i see some random swedish name getting ice time and scoring points and it's rookies and such coming over from the SHL or have played in north america.
11 years ago, a Swedish team playing well in the wjc was unheard of. Now we haven't lost a group stage match for a couple of years, have been to a few finals and won a gold medal as well.
SM liiga was better many years ago but the SHL has taken over as the best league in Europe after KHL while finland has regressed.
>>67548566

>>67548638
its not that the lightning are bad. its just that the pens are that good. tampa might be able to meme their way past detroit and the islanders, but the penguins are a bit of a different team right now.
HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH, /hoc/
... Celebrating the greatest goalie of all-time.
>>67548958
The trend shows that our youngsters produce when they get olders and yours fall off
>>67548990
Sure. But Tampa matches up well against the Pens, they have for a few years now. The problem is that Malkin always finds a way to get some meme highlight reel goal and style on them every single time. Tampa swept the Pens this season but Pittsburgh has dramatically improved since February. I just think it will come down to Murray's consistency.
>>67549124
Murray played well against the caps but he wasn't the reason they won. Bishop is a much better goalie and I think he might make this series a lot closer than we expect.
>>67549197
It's been said before but the Pens' speed killed the Caps. Pittsburgh constantly beat them to the puck and just blew by them. Tampa is one of the few teams that really matches that speed well. I think the biggest hurdle for Tampa will be the third line of Pittsburgh.
>>67549256
I'm not taking anything away from Holtby but bishop is proven in the playoffs. He's been in this situation before and done extremely well. Who knows what happens if he didn't get injured last year. But if the lightning want any chance of winning bishop needs to be their best player. They'll also need contribution from more than 1 line.
>>67549288
They've shown they have the ability to produce from multiple lines and that their D can be a threat too. I'm just wondering if Murray can keep playing at the level he has
>>67549307
If not they just replace him with fleury
>>67549288
It's crazy that Bishop is the most experienced playoff goalie left.
>>67549288
Bishop doesnt have good stats against the pens. he definitely does need to be their best player.
>>67549320
Honestly I think that would be the dumbest possible thing the pens could do. Murray is your goalie. Fleury hasn't played since fucking March.
Poor Hungary
>>67549328
>>67549353
>>67549358
Even if Bishop makes it past the Pens he still has to hold up longer than the Moose. Highest SV% in the NHL season this year boys.
>>67549392
No offense but Elliot is the worst goalie left and it's not even close.

I was one of the few people advocating for keeping Murray in the net even when fleury gets healthy, but fleury has experience this deep in the playoffs whereas Murray does not.
This hypothetical comes down to Murray shitting the bed either way, which won't happen. He had a decent series against the caps, who I feel like had more firepower than the lightning

>>67549493
Flyover state delusion is just nothing anyone should partake in.
>>67549392
Bishop has way better puck handling skills and playoff experience at the highest possible level
>>67549510
Bishop's ability to play the puck is huge for Tampa. Elliott also hasn't experienced a deep run.
>>67549522
Are you implying that st Louis isn't flyover?
>>67549536
>>67549548
Elliott doesnt have the experience cause the front office is retarded not because he couldn't handle it.
>>67549510
>Ben bishop has a better sv% and GAA
>Matt Murray has a better sv% and GAA
Martin Jones has a better GAA but Elliot has the better sv%. I'll just chalk that up to having a far better blue line in front of him.
Be butt blasted all you want the truth is Elliot is the worst goalie remaining in the playoffs.
>Stralman won't be back tonight
>possibly won't be back until game 3
all that shit I've been talking has been for nothing we are completely fucked without Stralman this series
>>67549579
I said Murray. Bishop is a non factor cause the Pens are taking the east and too fucking kek thinking Martin Jones is anywhere near Elliott's level. You sound retarded but just wait and see tomorrow.
>>67549579
>Murray
You people are retarded. He's played since Feb. HE is the worst goalie in the playoffs right now just because of play time and sheer lack of experience.
>>67549586
Idk hedman is at least playing at elite status again and the rest of the D are starting to finally step up. Too bad we still have 2 fucking AHL players. Is JT traffic cone back?
>tfw the Prods were just a meme team that could only win with refpuck
>>67549622
The pens goalie is an AHL player, that isn't an excuse
>>67549594
His career playoff numbers are pretty pedestrian to be honest. It's pretty funny even Jones has better career playoff numbers than Elliot.
The one time the blues actually manage to not choke on a massive cock they get all uppity on their mediocre goalie.
>>67549586
Whelp. Unless Murray collapses Tampa is fucked.
>>67549652
You just keep sounding more and more retarded. Elliott's playoff numbers are weak because the front office wouldn't ever use him as a starter cause they wanted a younger goalie. Not because he's bad. He's only ever started in 1 other playoff series. Get the fuck out of here with your bandwagon hockey knowledge.
>>67549675
They rest of the defense are learning to play just fine without him. They're not incredible, but with bishop and a dangerous offense I think they can survive
>>67549699

>>67549699
>front office wouldn't start him
He was the starting goalie in 2011 and 2012. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact he's an average goalie.
I'm honestly surprised how delusional you are with Elliot. I thought St Louis fans actually understood hockey.
>>67549700
tampas offense is 1 dimensional compared to pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's 3rd line has more goals and points the tampas whole bottom six combined. same with pitts 4th line.
>>67549737
last year was better tbqh
>>67549737
It's because smuk left
>>67549737
That's because all the memes have been blown the fuck out
>>67549744
Only in 2011, In 2012 it was a tandem. There is nothing to understand. This is only his 2nd real shot and he had one of the highest SV% in the NHL this year. Saying he's the worst one left if just a biased lie.
>>67549737
because more than half the teams that made the playoffs have nonexistent fanbases and most of the ones that don't were knocked out early
>>67549779
>biased lie
What vested interest do I have in any of the players or teams? It's not like I'm defending a Canadian goalie over an American goalie. Youre just too stupid to really understand what Elliot is. He's completely shielded by the blue line.

Will be interesting to see what happens against St Louis. Refpuck dependency didn't work so well for the Craps.
>>67550996
Considering Stl barely gives up powerplays and when they do they usually kill them, if they rely on that it wont be good.
Will Stamkos be invisible tonight?
>>67550778
On its own, a Top 3 defender at best.
Packaged with Draisaitl or Nugent-Hopkins you could probably get a #1 defender.
>>67550976
if the players don't care, its hard for the fans to care.
I understand why established stars like Kane/Kessler/Big Buff don't bother attending IIHF, but I really don't understand why young players on shit teams didn't go.
I mean Gaudreau, John Gibson, Saad, and Ghostibehere would be an instant impact on that shitty IIHF roster yet they just don't go.
Whats their excuse? they are relatively young and their NHL teams are shit.
>>67551120
Well before they had the Olympics and now there is going to be the World Cup every year. The fact of the matter is the NHL is for all intents and purposes the premier league and in most people's eyes the only one that matters.

>>67551116
Who's willing to trade their #1 defender though? You would need to look at teams with a defense surplus.

St. Louis if they don't advance past the third round. One of Petriangelo or Shattenkirk could pry loose.
>>67551266
if somebody has the assets to do it, it would be oilers
but still tough to imagine, no one trades 1Ds voluntarily and it's impossible to predict
4th overall straight up, minnesota would probably kill for a cost controlled elite forward at this point, maybe they could get scandella or brodin from them
shattenkirk could be had since he'll be too expensive to resign for the blues but he only has 1 year left and there's no guarantee he'll resign with the oilers
it's gonna be rough, they can't wait another year, but they may not find equal value for their assets this year
is it too late for
>rags
>>67551470
Shattenkirk is a 2nd pairing defenseman. He will never be a 1 or 2 defenseman.
I would be shocked if the blues traded Pietrangelo. It makes no sense for them to do so.
>>67551490
it will only be too late when they get relocated
>rags
>>67551485
Everyone knows the Oilers are in a tough spot and teams will bleed them dry for a good defender. Minnesota isn't one of them though. Not enough depth to be selling.
>>67551502
Blues will begin to hit a cap crunch if they try to retain Backes and Brouwer. Colton Paryako has looked more and more like a legit top 4 option going forward and could push out a big name.
>>67551598
Backes is gone. They would let literally anyone go except for pietrangelo and now Parayko. Pietrangelo is just about to hit his prime there's no chance they trade him now.
>>67550816
>has already influenced and became a huge part of an average persons life

>>67551598
they have olofsson and reilly who both have top4 potential
their forward depth is worse than their defensive depth and filled with bloated contracts
they especially need a center, a cost controlled one. It's not the worst fit I can imagine
>>67551663
I'm pretty sure the last paragraph answers your question.
>>67551674
Who needs a center? The Blues? Are you blind mate? Their center depth is pretty impressive, this isn't 2011.
>>67551713

READ
>>67551634
Fair point, it was wishful thinking on my part. Amazing player in the NHL and even better internationally.
>>67551674
If the Wild did sell it would probably be for the pick alone. Brodin is a left handed shot so I'm not sure the Oilers would target him. They already have Klefbom, Nurse & Reinhart for young left handers. As you said prior it's likely Scandella if anyone, he's actually from here. Dumba might be an interesting option as well.
>>67551875
Brodin is left handed, but he plays on the right side so that's something
do the oilers have the luxury to wait for the perfect fit? if you can get a top4 D do you worry about handedness too much? I don't know
>>67551862
Maybe if you didn't constantly use pronouns in your sentence structure I would have understood what you meant.
>>67551875
The oilers have the assets to acquire top defenders the problem is finding someone willing to do so. There isn't many teams willing to give up their best defenseman. Their only hope is to draft and develop accordingly. I know this is a slow process but it's the right way to do it.

Bishop has been playing on his head and in general Tampa has really shown up in big moments. Thornton and Marleau have paid their dues and they close enough to taste it. Cotoure and Pavelski have be outstanding, the PP is scary and Jones has been more than serviceable.
