Not a sharks guy, but until Penguins win game 4, a lead is just a lead. It can be lost as easily as it was won.
>>68190517
>implying anyone in the bay area gives two shits about the sharks
sorry bud, warriors are up 2-0 in their finals.
hockey is nothing but a tiny niche sport
what happened to smuk frok?
Idk im all for kicking someone when theyre down but I legit feel bad for Sharks fans.

>yinzers getting another trophy
Jesus christ please god no
>>68190517
The Sharks basically died for me when they blew that 3 - 0 series lead against the Kings in the first round the year the won the presidents trophy.
That was a serious 'fuck you' moment for me and I've never gotten over it. I refused to get into the whole 'have they finally gotten it together?' shit by the rest of the fanbase who tentatively allowed themselves to hope. Nope, I knew this shit was going to happen.
Team NA lineup and captaincies announced
Eichel - McDavid - MacKinnon

>>68190831
> McDavid as Captain
He's good, but playing for the Oilels should disqualify you from the captaincy. Should've gone to MacKinnon or Ekblad.
>>68190831
Why is Eichel not the second center with Hall and Johnny Hockey? Why is Matthews not centering the fourth line?
And as a Flylels fan, Ghost playing with Seth Jones is fucking awesome

I can't believe this fat fuck is going to win a conn smythe. What has happened to hockey
>>68190984
I feel like this is a Canadian trap.
>>68190984
Were you playing a contact sport or involved in any physical altercation? And what color are the bruises?

>Canadian Cuck
>>68190936
Pens don't really need draft picks right now. All of Ray Shero's picks from a few years ago are panning out, plus Daniel Sprong.

>>68191200
Well I still believed until the 3rd period. Also watching their whole team celebrate while penguins fans cheered around me hurt. I've been ready for the shorks to shork bit why did they wait for the cup. Just why guys. Fuck.
>>68190614
There's absolutely no way the penguins lose 3 in a row. Murrays record after defeats is flawless
>tfw feel sad but still a little confident
Even if they don't come back to win the series I like their chances next season
>>68191230
probably because you're acting like a faggot bitch. I don't think fans like you give the players much energy, it is essentially entirely your fault
>>68191230
where there a lot of pongs fans there?
you have to admit the Metallica anthem was pretty based desu
>>68191237
Sharks will never recover, you have no reason to be confident
>>68191275
Yeah right man this team is fucking fantastic. When at their best I get chills sometimes. Once they see Pittsburgh lifting that cup they'll have the desire to get back, you're hungry for the cup.
What the FUCK did the Sharks do wrong!?
What the FUCK!!!

>>68191230
Feel fortunate you won one game. If Murray didn't slip up in game 3 it's a sweep.
>>68191316
I take small comfort in that.
>>68191302
But that wasn't the stanley cup finals, this is different.
>>68191316
This.
>that shit tier goal in OT
I'm still mad
>>68191331
The Ward goal was the bigger softy. The OT goal hit off his mask and just went in.
Feels good to be a lifelong Anything Pittsburgh tbqhwyl.
>>68191331
It was high though.
Now the Ward goal should have been saved. I don't understand Murray. He makes all kinds of great saves all game then boom something just rolls in on him

>>68191411

>shoot under 20 shots total in a game 7

>>68191331
Letang and Crosby gave that goal up as much as Murray did. Not sure why they didn't just clear the puck with the 10 seconds left in the power play.
>>68191398

Tell me how any of the Stars,Blues or Sharks are any good?
Stars - Ranked top 5 in Goals in the season and Bottom 10 in goals against
Blues - Went to 7 games against a regressing Hawks team, 7 games against aforementioned Stars team and Lost to Sharks who are getting BTFO. Their defence is overrated, goaltending is far overrated and offence is inconsistant
Sharks - Easiest route to the finals in the past decade. Kings are regressing, Nashville is probably thr worst of all 16 playoff teams and Blues are weak. Now their getting BTFO by a team thats half players who started the season in the AHL
>>68191906
Capitals
We were literally the best team in the nhl from the time sully took over and had them play the right way. Were too fast. We smother teams with our offensive zone possession. Highly doubt anyone will stop us next year. The only reason we havnt swept anyone this year is that every goalie weve played against stood on their head.
>>68191952
>we
>>68191865
Yep pretty much except Sprong will play fulltime with Crosby and will emerge as the 2nd best player from last year's draft.
>>68191939
>half players who started in the AHL
I honestly don't think people realize this. The pens are about to win the cup with an AHL coach and a bunch of rookies that were just called up from the AHL, including their goalie
Western conference is literally getting shitted on by AHL'ers
>>68191952
Probably should have swept the cup finals tbqhwy. Let game 3 slip away.
You least coast fags are just lucky we sent a choke team this year. It won't be the same next time. Order will be restored
>>68191975
88% of the N was part of the A at some point and time nothing to be embarrassed over
>>68191981
>Implying they didnt throw the game so they could win on home ice
>this one west coast guy trying to defend the whole conference
Chill out buddy, as long as your team is good it doesn't matter what conference they're in
No one even thought the pens would make the playoffs until sully took over.
>>68191981
>game 3 is the second loss the penguins have had all season after leading through the 2nd period
>>68192008
Because they were utter shit and crosby had 19 points in 30 games. It was a fucking mess of a team.

>Rate their styles
imho Laine is clearly the one with best suit.
And while shorter hair makes him look much better, I miss the Jagr vibe with the long hair
>>68192121
Laine defintley looks the least awkward.
If I didnt know who they were, Id think Laine was like 23, the way he carrys himself.
>>68192120
Murray does suck he's just getting carried by his high power team.
Why not instead of a expansion draft, Las Vegas just gets every other pick in the first round of the draft?
>>68192132

Apologize.
>>68192120
I never wanted to bench the murs. Hope we trade fluery for cap space and extra protection in the expansion draft. We have enough goalies in the system to find a great backup.

>>68192131
>Tkachuk looking awkward as fuck

Before I was certain Laine was ugliest, but hes certainly looking miles better now than before.
I guess he just looks exponentially worse when he is sweaty and exhausted from a game.

>>68192266
>salty craps fan thinking anyone picked them to win the east
>>68192224
The Sharks were not favored in the first round either. It was only after the Kings had a pretty epic defensive collapse that people started taking San Jose seriously. The odds of them romping the Kings and dodging the Ducks again next season are tough. Thornton will be 37 next playoffs.
>>68192277
The caps were actually favored by "experts" to beat the pongs
Unless we're talking Vegas odds here, in that case Vegas has had the pens winning it all since the beginning yes
>>68192281
Oh my bad, I read everything wrong.

All of those are good teams retard
>>68192297
they should have shot it in the net
>>68192293
I'm saying that it takes a pretty good amount of luck to get this far to begin with. The Kings have earned their two recent cups, 2x champs etc, but they were one Anti Niemi collapse in 2014 from just a 1st round exit. No one would talk about that team then,
Point being, like 7 of the 8 teams in the West could have believably been in the Finals. It just so happens that Burns, Pavs, Jumbo, the gang got going at a good time. But that could have been Kopitar, Doughty and Quick getting hot as well, and no one would have batted an eye.
The Sharks getting back to the Finals next year is arguably more difficult than pulling back from a 3-1 deficit in this one.

No way in hell he gets it over Crosby. Hes got a first line for any other team going against the 3rd and 4th steingers while Crosby dominates the top lines and def pairings every game. All while only being couple points behind phil. He had like every fucking gwg vs tampa and has put team on back and outright won games on his own. Phil hasnt won a single game or been dominant in any way close to what Crosby has done if you watch the games. You know when hes on the ice because he drives the play at all times. Phil is invisible up by center ice until someone flicks a puck over everyones head to him or he taps in a garbage goal.

Shorks fan here. Best case scenario we force you to win it in sj instead of at home.
Polak is a dumb slow chimp who would rather go out of his way to make a hit than defend the player who now has a scoring chance and Dillon can't play defense he's just big. How these 2 still get the amount of ice time they do astounds me.
I respect DeBoer for sticking with the "we won't shorten our bench, I believe in every line" stuff because it got >us here but when certain lines are getting their shit pushed in you have to change.
Also pavelski has to be hiding some injury, he's not playing like himself at all, and burns and thornton are hesitating when they used to just go for it. Marleau always chokes so nothing new there, and couture is the only one I think is playing well consistently but he's hit more posts than scored goals these playoffs.
In Donskoi we trust

Guys, do you feel bad for Fleury? I think if he never got hurt in March, the Pens would still be in the same spot with him in net throughout the playoffs. The one game he did play, the Pens just happen to have the worst defense performance in front of him.
>>68198935

>>68198935
Honestly he has handled the whole situation like a true peofessional. I know he wants to be out there. But stepping aside and helping Murray even has been absolutely great
It would be great if Luongod, Schneider, Murray, and Fleury all got together to chat about their feelings.
>>68198943
>falling for the Fleury chokes meme
Only two of those playoffs were arguably his fault since winning the Cup. He was playing the best hockey of his career this year before getting ded.
>>68198935
>Feeling bad for Fleury
Nope buddy won himself the cup in 2009. In this day and age winning 2 even as the backup is pretty dope.
>>68198912
How so? They're going to be the only team to take the cup winners to 7 with a back up goalie. If they trade bishop for some good D and vasy gets some experience they'd be in decent shape. They once again showed they don't need old man stamm to win
Just to check the /hoc's hockey knowledge. There isn't anyone here that actually believe that Matthews is even close to Laine's caliber?
>>68198935
Kinda. But he's handled it well. I'll never forget his game 7 last second save in 09

Cruel justice. Another for the list.
>>68199169
As far as playoff performances that were legitimately his fault, only the '10 Canadiens series and the '12 Flyers series come to mind. '11 the two 7 goal games, the team as a whole shit the bed, '13 Vokoun was the starter, and he played well in '14 and '15.
>>68199169
Pens are averaging about 3 goals a game these playoffs. If they scored 3 goals a game last year, the Pens sweep the Rangers instead of losing in 5. More often than not, he was the victim of Mike Johnston's and Disco Dan's "systems" than the main reason the Pens lost.
>>68199248

>During the 1994–95 labor stoppage, Bylsma earned the nickname "Disco Dan". The nickname was adopted by teammates while playing for a minor league team in Phoenix. Veteran goaltender Byron Dafoe already went by Bylsma's former moniker of "Bysie" so the name "Disco Dan" was given due to Bylsma's penchant for dancing in the locker room.[2]
He's also a goof when it comes to coaches.

Hi uncle Gary
>>68199372
Did you watch game 3? There were so many non calls. Burns and joe were literally bear hugging our forwards away from the play.
>>68199428
>power plays are only advantageous if you score
>Listening to sports radio
>Random sound bite of Guy Lafleur saying the Sharks are a disgrace with their beards
>Says they should cut them
Little do you know Guy, they'll be cut on thursday when the Pens finish them off and hoist Stan Lee
>>68199383
Yes your ahl team is shit too what do you want from me.
And Tyler johnson had 38 points without stamkos to shelter him
>1 C with 38 points
Wew
>>68199473
He was injured multiple times during the season as well
>>68199455
no matter how shitty your sports shows are, at least they acknowledge hockey. I don't even really follow the nfl but I already know somebody "hacked" the nfl twitter account and said the commissioner died. that's more important news than the stanley cup final here

Hi buttblasted San Jose cuck
>>68199372
Refs have neglected to call the Sharks for too many men on the ice like three times this series.
>>68199505
Not even SJ my man
>>68199518
So you're just a buttblasted cuck then? Got it
>Burns goes down like a child skating for the first time when he gets touched by Rust's stick
>Le refpuck for the Penguins!

>>68199596
Lmao still salty you got BTFO?
HOLTBY AND THE CAPITALS MASCOT ARE MARCHING IN A FAG PRIDE PARADE
>>68199592
This. That call was so fucking stupid
Fehr gave them a taste of their own medicine when he flopped as well
Don't tell me the power play babies aren't getting preferential treatment
>>68199616
So?
>>68199616
>implying this is even newsworthy
You should try to go to one for fun. The degeneracy is quite entertaining.
>>68199482
Yes I agree he is soft but he still played 69 games
And Tampa wasn't even top ten in man games lost (but the team that beat them was)
>>68199616
Makes sense. He must have grown onto getting his shit pushed it after he lost to the pens
That upmc commercial with fleury and his babby is super cute guys
>>68200316
So is this
>>68199053
Laine is a better goal scorer but not as good in the overall game.
Also scoring wingers are so fucking common to acquire but its a fucking bitch to get a good young center, you're stupid if you think the Leafs should acquire yet another winger when their middle is trash.
