Post more cricket memes
I like /cric/ way better than stinky smelly mongols and dumb slavshits
The pinnacle of test cricket is viewed as the leave. Every rule in the entire game is geared towards maximizing the amount of leaves that can be attempted within 5 days. Its great viewing. What a thrilling sport.
T20 is OK but I can't deal with all that hitting and running. Sometimes a whole game can pass without a single leave being attempted! Can you imagine?
I hardly ever get to sit and watch for eight minutes while a batsman takes his guard and resets six times, followed by a leave, in T20. If T20 wants to compete they need far more of it.
Also, there's far too much game time in T20. They score too many runs and go far too long without slowing the game down with leaves, forward defences and 4 sightscreen adjustments. What T20 need to do is make leaves and blocks worth more, so more time is defending and watching one guy play all day. Did you guys see the latest Durham vs Worcestershire game? 1.3 runs per over to 1.2! Worcs had no answer to Durham's tactics of leaving every ball that's not on the stumps out then asking the umpire to end play early for bad light.
Its this level of tactical sophistication that is missing in T20, where as you rightly point out, its just a bunch of athletic guys trying to score runs against each other. Yawn

Yeah I counted Pavelski at RW because I see Thornton and Couture as the Cs in SJ, Pavelski plays more on the wing than either of them.
But I don't see how you can have those 3 guys ahead of wingers like Perry and Voracek.

Why is England worse than all of their former colonies at every single sport they play?
Why are there no good towelhead hockey players?
Why are 3rd worlders, rapeugees, and their shit sports so irrelevant?
>>68138752
More like Okpussy
>>68138752
Perry and Voracek are too streaky and I feel like they give bad efforts in half their games.
Talent is half the battle, compete level is the other half. Generally I feel like those guys give a more consistent effort which makes them more valuable players.
Even if Perry and Voracek can do more when they feel like it, they don't always feel like it.
>88 posts

>Why are there no good towelhead hockey players?
Probably because hockey is a sport that requires effort and skill and heart.
>>68139991
Right here, asshole.
>>68139776
We're definitely worse at hockey, but hopefully that'll change as the sport gets more popular.
I wouldn't really say we're worse at football, but who cares about that shit sport anyway.
>>68139875
I agree with that to a certain extent, but imo it applies more to guys like Alex Semin, He could probably be on that list right now if he wasn't such a lazy faggot. I still think that the level of production of Voracek and Perry puts them ahead of Zucc and Okposo even if they don't work as hard. Crosby would still be a top 10 centre in the league if he had the work ethic of Dick Rash, he's just so talented.
>>68140160
Semin never recovered from a wrist injury, and his entire game is built around having one of the better shots in the league

You could blame it on a more hybrid style vs strictly butterfly but then why buy butterfly style pads with fucking 3 inch risers. Seriously, look how high up the leg those pads go, that's past lundshit tier.
That goalie bought legs pads and a stick way too big for him because he thought it would help but it's just fucking up everything he's doing.

Reverse vh is better for positioning when the puck is behind the net and preventing low angle shots to the far side, but it also let's in more soft goals then vh on low angle shots above the pads. You should be able to use both when the situation calls for it. Murray probably doesn't allow that OT goal last night if he switches to vh but that's a much harder transition than vh to reverse.
I use reverse more often because I have really long legs for my frame and can seal the whole bottom in butterfly.

I like the part where they lower the shark head and I think they should keep it in the regular season. It's pretty epic imo and could still be done without towels and with the chomp instead.
I guess they'd have to start the pregame stuff earlier then since kids like to see sharkie come from the rafters or on the atv.
They could get rid of dj pawvelski and 90% of the video for all I care though, that's getting stale. I think it's cooler when they do more laser/line projection than highlight video because it's not great quality anyway.

Because there has been one british player ever drafted in the NHL and he was 250th-something pick. I also checked the list british born hockey players and after in the last 40 years the list is more pathetic than Slovenia's, France's, Kazakstan's or even Italy.
Things are not going to turn around in under 10 years that you would suddenly compete against the best. Ranked 24th and 5000 active players and you believe you will magically contend in a few years? Keep on dreaming. You guys have soccer and are pretty alright in that.

I'm not really an expert in American racist terms, but I'm pretty sure that "gook" is for Vietnamese soldiers, not hot white-Chinese mixed female hockey fans.
Why are people ganging up on Winland? I love Fin posters.
I'm a proud Leafs fan and will defend them on the internet. I even own a Leafs fedora which I wear during games. There's no team like the Leafs and that's a good thing. They glow with elite history. I hate American hockey teams because they don't play as good as my superior Canadian team. When I get a job, I'm going to move to Canada and watch their superior teams. Wish me luck guys!

Different fin but desu he is right. If you would somehow be alrigjt in 10 years your u18, u16 teams should be doing well atm. Well are they?
The sport might be growing but the first proper brit has not even learned skating yet. Teams dont just magically turn good and you are at such a shit level it would take 20-30 years. So keep dreaming

Northern Ireland is quite literally part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's in the name.
He was born a British national, Northern Irish, and became a Canadian.
If he were posting here the day he was born, his flag would be the same as mine. Later it would be a fucking leaf.
Doesn't matter what way you slice it, he was born in the UK. He's a British immigrant in Canada.
Further more, our league encompasses the entirety of the UK; including Belfast, where Nolan was born.
He's British-Irish by birth, Canadian by upbringing.

All a country needs to be a contender is a goal scorer, a defenceman and a goalie with a group of supporting skaters. I could see that coming from UK. They're competing for spots in their domestic league, could be some AHL level in 10 and NHL in 20.

As it stands our Juniors league is actually pretty good, but I'm not going to make any wild claims like we'll make the draft because again, it's a blossoming sport still in its infancy here.

But both should have been applied. Poland and Austria would have been more interesting choices for promotion, unfortunately they lost.
>>68146902
I may not be that familiar with your GOAT junior leagues but I know my british.
You mean I am supposed to believe that such an expensive sport can be afforded, yet alone approved for kids to learn when there is soccer around, which happens to be THE sport of your nation? Who coaches the british teams? How maby ice rinks are there? Who play in the british leagues, are the lead scorers british or NHL/elitserien/Liiga-rejects?
Hockey requires certain autism that us finns and canadians have. We have kids whose biggest idols are hockey players and hockey is something you really grow up with, everyone plays or has played it. It's all over media and a literal part of our snow nigger lives. You dont have the soul for hockey, my bongistan friend

Explain Anze Kopitar then. Soccer is bigger than Hockey in Sweden and they still produce players.
Hockey can become a bit of a status sport. People can show off their wealth by having a son good at hockey. It's happened in America. It could happen in Britain.
They have 60 rinks. As many as some top division countries do.
Some of the Canadians that go there to play stay as coaches.

I could see one of the four western teams be good enough to get a wild card.
>>68147373
The East will put 2 Canadian teams in, the West won't put any in.
Detoilet's playoff streak will end next year, but everyone will still say "muh 25" when they get memed on for failing to reach 26.
>>68147482
update
>>68147621
Wild card is dominated by the Central and the Canadian team in the central is weak.

Canada's only hope in the west is for the Ducks to choke so hard they miss the playoffs and a meme team like Vancouver slips in. Seems very unlikely.

>>68147516
I cant explain Anze. Slovenia's national team is shit. Hockey will not become a big sport in the UK because A.) UK is not known for hockey, B.) it has never been big with the spectators or the people in general, C.) british do not care about hockey as they do not even know the rules, D.) there are no great ACTUALLY british players for rolemodels and E.) because the chance of success is minimal, people will not even start following the sport.
You just cant put a new sport there alongside soccer, hockey can never climb to such traditional values.

We're known as former Olympic gold and bronze medalists, we've been playing the sport competitively for over a century, not sure why you feel the need to strawman by saying we don't understand the rules (our leagues and medals suggest we do), and the EIHL has had more success in recent years than any other English league.

Would make rape a lot easier. Good product/10
>>68149139
His english is pretty understandable for an 18-year old finnish hockey player. He seems pretty modest with a hardworking attitude when interviewed in finnish.
I suspect that all this "ego"stuff is just to generate more buzz and possibly troll his way to #1 pick OR to get Philadelphia to trade for #2 pick.
why are finnish players such memes?
>>68149139
His english is pretty good, but I'd say he doesn't always choose the right words in a given situation. The argument he has tried to make is that he had the best season out of anyone in this draft. I would agree to that. I also think he has a good chance to be the best NHLer in this draft and maybe even an outside chance to be the best in the world. He knows that he has a top 5 shot in the world at the moment.
>>68149392
They look and sound funny/weird but secrectly everyone likes them and wants at least one finnish player in their team alongside with one (1) good finnish prospect
>>68148895
Maybe not but he was pretty confident before stepping into the NHL.
"I don't want to make too many predictions, but I will want to score at least 50 goals every season."
Bure was asked if he knew of anyone in the hockey world who was quicker on skates. He thought for about 15 seconds and answered: "I don't know of anyone. I think I'm the fastest in the world."
Ovechkin made pretty similar statements as Laine pre-draft.
"If you're first, you're the best, and if you're second, you're not the best," said Ovechkin, who has been studyng English for two years. "I always want to be the best. That's why I want to be first."
