NHL Thread: Roy is War

I remember leaving game 1 in 2016 knowing the Sharks would win the series. I don’t have as bad of a feeling about this one but the Blues have to stop playing like jackasses.

 

It’s obviously not a great sign for the blues but I would take solace in the fact that they did not make these mistakes for a serious while. It’s one bad game in your system, learn from it but mostly just throw this out and move on. You are on the road so it’s still alright.

I am sure that it’s their mindset, they will look at some things the sharks are doing that maybe caused a few mistakes but ultimately you still play how you play and just do it quicker and stop questioning too much.

 

We pretty much win either way. This looks like a legitimate 1 and 1A so we are good with either guy.

 

Thread is quiet today

 

Plenty of whistle-swallowing on behalf of the ‘Canes, too.

 

Yes I do prefer when we get a powerplay and Marchand provides amusement

 

Bruins fucking up everything

of course

 

Then why don't they? Williams has some size on Marchand, I wouldn't say he turtled there. I get the hate for Marchand. I hated the shit out of Shaw during the 'Hawks run. It is what it is, though. Dude gets under peoples' skin but also has some of the best hands in the league. He's super effective.

 

Chara is also a huge detriment to anybody taking a run at marchand. Marchand could not play like this if he played for Florida or another softer team,

 

Marchand won't fight unless it's someone like Lars Eller on the other end.

He plays the bullshit NHL code as well as anyone but he's nothing but a fucking pussy.

 

Williams does his share of agitating too, just seems to be more popular than Marchand with players around the league. I don't blame Bruins fans for defending him, because there's not a guy on this board who wouldn't want Marchand in their line up. Especially since he's emerged into a top playmaker in the league.

For a guy who got knocked unconscious a few weeks ago, Svechnikov sure spent some time picking at people yesterday too. He made me look back on that thing with Ovechkin with different eyes.

 

Chara is a shell of his former self. Every team in the league has someone that could take Chara in his current state.

 

Came across this classic this morning

 

The blues all over sj so far

 

Good start until that dumb penalty.

 

I was annoyed that Williams didn't produce for us in the postseason but never saw him agitate anything. Didn't agitate a thing either in the extremely chippy Carolina-Washington series.

 

Blues should just decline PPs

 

You rooting for them to lose again?

 

Youre usually not this lazy of a troll.

 

Terrible effort there to block that point shot

 

Lmao that call

 

That was bad

 

This was prophetic

 

That's one of the worst penalty calls this playoffs

 

Terrible pp, they give up more opportunities than they create for themselves

 

That was very dumb by Piets

 

Theyve been brutal all post season.

 

Woof binnington

 

The Blues PP is pathetic.

 

How do you get caught up like this again, damn.

Binnington is human, he doesn’t look good right now

 

Dominate for 30 minutes only to be tied

 

That's probably the first or second soft goal of the playoffs for Binnington. Not the best time to give it up

 

Beauty

 

Who is in a bortuzzo jesery that just went forehand backhand bar down?

 

They was a gorgeous play

 

Good move by sj to take a penalty here, they need to swing the momentum back in their favor again

 

Perron looks drunk out there

 

Good clock awareness guys.

 

Meier almost with the goal of the year

 

Phew.
