Probably. Pens always go to back-to-back Stan Lees.
>>68200660
>San Fransisco?
That's the only Bay Area. Tampa is only used when talking about florida already so that you get the context, but it's not "The Bay".

You're a bandwagon faggot and should support the Perds or Canes
>>68201805
You have to go back.
>>68201814
Either Florida team could be an option as well desu. The fact that he doesn't actually have a team in his state though means he can cheer for whichever team he wants and not actually be a bandwagoner imho.
>Scott Stevens and Bruce Boudreau behind the bench
Next season is literally over. Wild confirmed 2017 Cup Champs. Thanks for playing. The Wild are Cup contenders/favorites.
>>68201814
Call me what you want, I had no prior knowledge of any hockey team's success and picked the pens on a whim. Pens fan for life.
Also fuck the canes.
>>68201897
Not a Wild fan, but they're definitely a top 5 team. They'll probably win the Central.
>>68201814

>management that relies on an IRL meme "the state of hockey" to pander to idiots and sell tickets

So, can anyone think of a team in a worse position?
>>68201922
lol what? They center depth is crap, their wingers are old and slow(hell the whole team is slow as fuck), they have no cap space, and their defense isn't good enough to make up for that.
>>68201930
>>68201951
Both teams hold a small place in my heart considering their history in GA.

I can say that I would have been a thrashers fan if I had gotten into hockey earlier. I still root for the Braves every year even though they'll never win another title.

Historically the sharks are a comeback team that does not let great opportunities pass by.
Surely they will win this thing
>>68202838
fuck no, the shorks don't have that kind of mental fortitude required. maybe pavelski and the bottom-6, but the rest of them certainly do not

Never had any problems with the vegas gold and black, it's just not as good.
>>68203322
I'd say that supporting your parents team can be acceptable tbf. But only if you do it for the right reason (to keep the tradition in the family). If you do it because that team happens to be more successfull than the local team you're just a bandwagon.
But good for you for supporting a struggling team like the Yotes (even though they have some interesting youths now). Fans of shit teams are often more down to earth than fans of good teams too.

This desu. Real finals were played on 2nd round between Caps and Pongs and that line stood up to the challenge while Crosby and Malkin sucked dick.

Lelmao. Explain to me exactly how trump is going to win the black and Hispanic vote through the debates? You realize spics and niggers don't even watch that shit?
>>68204208
Trump cucks literally blown the fuck out
>>68204375
voter turnout alone can win it. Blacks only make up 13% of the country. If there's a high white turnout then it'll be no problem
>>68204375
you think blacks will vote in the same volume as they did for barry?
You think Hillary will be indicted?
No one knows what's going to happen
>>68204339
HBK has been dominant the whole playoffs, but murray straight up stole some games from the caps. I think it was game 3 where the caps were just out skating the pens and Murray stopped pretty much everything and they stole the game
>>68204402
I bet you were saying the same shit when Romney was running fucking lmao
Fact of the matter is the republican party is fucked for decades to come
>>68204375

>>68204642
"L"
you mean Letang?
>>68204573
I did too. The only reason I can't support Trump is because I'm a biologist. I lean right on practically everything but environment, energy, and education. I mean just stuff like pic related is an embarrassment. And it's even worse that he denies climate change without having taken big bucks from fossil fuel companies. At least other GOPers have that as an excuse.
>>68204653

You don't believe this do you? Even if he deserved it he will get cucked by Letang, Crosby or Murray.

He got hit in March and injured his knee slightly, don't remember what part exactly. He played through it for the rest of the season and had surgery a month ago.
>>68204690
Regardless of if he wins or not. The fact is that he's unequivocally better than Kapanen will be best case scenario. Terrible deal...
>>68204715

>>68204790

>>68204832
You should leave the EU before it turns to shit.
>>68204790
I honestly couldn't care less. As long as he's not on the team anymore I was happy. They needed a change which is why they traded poonuf and kessel.

The problem with the pongs is most people in Pittsburgh (and probably also not in pittsburgh) are going to be steeler fans first then support everyone else in the city.

Over it now, but shit.... I followed the Lions through 0-16, meanwhile the Wings were winning cup after cup.
Although, I do remember watching the 2009 winter classic at my cousins house at Wrigley field. Didn't know shit about hockey at the time. I looked it up recently and it seemed like a great game, so I must have seen them win, although I don't remember the gameplay.

>>68208429
He has stepped up. He's not turning over in their zone, he's not making sloppy passes through neutral, and he's learning how to use his body to pinch right.
Why are people ITT assblasted about casuals wanting to bandwagon when their team wins? Honestly it would be pretty sad if things like "tortilla avataan" would never happen and only some diehards were partying. At least I enjoy it when there is a sense of unity.

It seems to me like him and Crosby are total bros. And you really can't tell me that he hasn't put it all out on the ice. Playing physically is not a part of his game but it's not a fault in my opinion. His wrister and speed are elite and that's a lot to give to a team.

It's been about as good as it's ever been, his linemates (mostly Bonino) are always in excellent position and can react when bill tries to force something or misses an assignment
>>68210195
and they play with 1 high forward all the time because bill and hags are so fucking fast they're always looking for one of them to get a fast break
he hasn't played poor defense and he has back checked very well. it's not his fault hags and bonino are great penalty killers so they use him in the high spot often
>>68209900
He's had a great playoffs, but his regular season was pretty poor. Pongs fans were constantly bitching about him being invisible and his lack of production.
If the Leafs had kept him and he'd had that kind of season, the number of suitors would likely have been zero. Last offseason it was a grand total of one - the Penguins. Literally no other NHL team wanted him.
Team USA, only Sullivan vouched for him and Burke (the guy who traded to get him on Toronto) and Lombardi both opposed the idea and didn't select him.
When there are that many parties in the NHL who don't like a player, there's a reason for it. Good on the Pens for having three elite players playing ahead of him, but I don't think too many NHL clubs are envious about the amount of term left on that deal.
>>68209918

Best 2nd overall since Malkin
>>68210291
he had a god awful season because they spent the fucking awesome trying to teach him the johnston system which was defense defense defense lol we might score once.
he isn't a fit with crosby even though johnston wanted him to be, because crosby likes a ton of short quick passes between players to get defenders off balance and shit.
then they tried to force him to be a neal one-timer like player on malkin's line but he has the wrist shot not the one-timer so it didn't work, even though they still try to force him to one time on the powerplay
putting him and hags together on the wings with a very defensively responsible center is a god send because they get to fly and shit and not ignore defense as a line. they used that line for the last part of the year and its continued its success in the playoffs
>>68210427
and your argument is his defense has been shit because we haven't seen any defense. that's a dumb argument. he's back checked very well at least

>>68210575
We are talking about his defensive play, nobody can argue he is on fire offensively
>>68210063
>I have played it at a high level
Yeah sure faggot, maybe you should apply to replace Cherry after he strokes out
>>68210609
so he might be an offensive zone start babby, I honestly stop following the metrics in the playoffs on that shit, but you can't be mad at a guy that does that when he continues to score on it. that's been malkin's role for his entire career
God I hope Crosby gets the game winning goal on Thursday.
>>68210504
>then they tried to force him to be a neal one-timer like player on malkin's line but he has the wrist shot not the one-timer so it didn't work, even though they still try to force him to one time on the powerplay
Yeah, I noticed that right away when I was watching Pens games earlier in the season. I was excited to see how well he'd do on the team, and then I saw that. Pretty ridiculous. Even the dumbest Leaf fan could've told you Kessel didn't have a one-timer. Flex on his stick is just too high.
Hey guys who should I look for to score tomorrow? I can't wait to see the penguins win the cup. I haven't watched much hockey since 09 so I was just wondering who to look for, is Malkin still good?

that's why we love sullivan and hate johnston. johnston tried to force the players into his system, sullivan put a system in for his players. rutherford made some really good trades too
this is the thought process the penguins management was supposed to have for the past 6 years and then they would have won a lot more. I liked bylsma and while shero made some incredibly stupid trades his draft picks are really working out now so I just blame the past few years on injuries and enjoy it now
What crimes are going to be committed this offseason? Last year we had Kane, Ryan O'Reilly crashing his truck, Richards smuggling Viagra into Canada, Simmonds smoking crack, and Tanner Glass continuing to have an NHL roster spot.
I put money on Brown beating the shit out of some nerd at Comic-Con for insulting his 'wife'
>>68210836
Shero was pretty bad at getting good depth players for the 3rd and 4th lines though.
>>68210855
who the fuck is Tanner Glass
>>68210893
When one window is south facing so it get more sun than a north facing window.
>>68210892
yes, he was awful at that at the time. the problem is that the players on the 3rd and 4th lines now are largely because of picks he made so it would be wrong to give rutherford that credit and ignore that shero is actually pretty good at drafting

If a team is blocking shots, why not just shoot a few high. All it would take would be one good shot to the face and guys would hesitate. Hell, weber has injured half his own team at some point or another doing essentially the same thing.
Y'all complain about goalie pads but the way skater pads have grown have enabled this and contributed just as much to boring games with no real strategy.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with players blocking shots. If motherfuckers want to take a puck going 70+ mph into their body let them do it.
>>68211175
Have you ever blocked a hockey puck m8? Shit hurts like hell and takes big time heart to do it consistently.

Why be a tripfag? Literally goes against everything 4chan stands for.
>>68211175
This. Have you seen shoulder pads and shin pads these days? You could take a baseball bat to the shin and barely feel it. It's getting worse too with skate guards and those back pads you see qbs wearing.
>>68211269
Because they like the attention. There's no other reason to do it.

There was a shot Burns took last night where it looked like he was doing that, aiming high. He has been a bitch all series. Pretty much every whistle he is cross-checking someone, obviously every D does this but it has been more noticeable for him. Not even a pongs fan.
Not sure about other players but it is a penalty if you clearly aim for a goalers face. Obviously it would be hard to prove but still in the rules. Plus I feel there is a code between players to not be that much of a dick. Shooting a vulcanized piece of rubber at 100 mph at each others' faces seems like a bad idea in the long run.

Is Burns the memiest player in the NHL right now? Everyone loves him because he's "le shoot hard and no front teeth mane", but other than that he's just another choking Shorks player.

Plenty of times. Only time it hurts is on the skates, side of the knee (if you kneel/slide), or right in the middle of the knee. Even getting one off the thigh isn't so bad, the pants now make it harder to take one off the side of the hip.

Now that is weird. But it's pretty cool that they managed to compile, AFAIK, the biggest hockey forum on the internet despite their actual site not being very popular.

Pens fan here. Shut up you cocky fuck, nothing is over in hockey until it's over. I've watched the Pens blow a couple 3-1 series leads. It could easily happen again. Don't come in here, announce you're a bandwagoner and jinx it.
>>68211298
the point is trying to hit the net, when you only get around 40 chances to do so per game, you direct them at the net
>>68211298
Yeah burns is a manbun faggot, constantly trying to start shit with the smaller hornqvist and constantly pussying out when the refs stop play
>>68211343
It was basically one of the first places where you could talk to fans from every team in one place, and get info on prospects etc without having to buy draft guides
>>68211355
Pens fan since the Dick Tarnstrom era here. God I'm so fucking happy the Penguins made it this far. They should just hand them the cup on Thursday since there's no way San Jose can come back.
>>68211269
because bantering with your tripfriends is fun
>>68211285
i know, right? not to mention those kevlar socks that prevent their ankles from getting slashed up by skates
these soft bettman-era pussies make me sick
>>68211355
>sharks have never won a series down 3-1
>team that goes 2-0 in the SCF wins it 44 out of 49 times
>last team to come back from a 3-1 defecit did it 60+ years ago
>its the sharks
Its fucking over man
This isn't the Johnston penguins
>>68211395
Fuck all that shit, how are the memes?
>>68211298
I agree it's not cool to do it on purpose to the goalie, because it's their job to be in front, and I don't think it's cool to aim above the waist, but if someone's strategy is to purposefully place themselves in the way I don't think it's wrong to put a shot on so they hesitate the next time.
It's the same as hitting a rb on a play action or hitting a qb and bringing them down as they release. You want them to hesitate before doing it again.

Sorry man, but this is hockey. Four California teams would be bullshit.

I've been telling my friends for months I'm writing in Phil
>>68204339
>Not realizing Crosby and Malkin had the top defensive pairings on them all series while the HBK line was free to rape the third pairing
>>68209619
>Terrible teammate
I've been watching Phil closely all season and I've seen nothing to support that. As far as I can tell all the guys love him.
>>68210291
Shit man, if Phil after the coaching change is the Phil we get, that's well worth $6.8 mil a season. Fucking Paul Stastny makes more than that.

I want to believe, but I'm scared.
why was true detective s2 so much worse than s1?
