That goal was nails Grimm, although if I'm being honest, the move Tavares put on a minute before (or moves I should say) was even better, it just lacked the finish.

Yeah Toews and Kane basically had identical stats. They wont win any awards playing together except the only one that matters, the Cup.

Tom Wilson officially in tonight. His potential ceiling they hope is something like Lucic.

Yeah, I pulled a totally sweet 360 dunk attempt on my hamper last night with some balled up socks, but I missed. It counted for exactly as much as Tavares' sweet moves.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? Looch is a sack..
I assume they mean "good Looch"...the one who plays a very physical game as a big body and has some offensive upside. Not the goon type who is a dirty player and goes through patches of not providing much value to the team.

Basically he grades out as either a bottom 6 grit guy if his offensive upside doesn't develop/show up, or a possible top 6 power forward/hell to deal with on the boards and in front of the net guy if his offensive upside does show up.

Well played, the only player who gets credit for doing things that count for nothing really is the great Sid...I love random games when he isn't involved in a goal at all but Pierre sees him point out the completely obvious breakout pass that starts a sequence and proclaims it was all his leadership that dragged the Pens into scoring on the play.

Man, Pierre loves him some Sid. With him it's like every NFL announcer giving Ray Lewis credit for totally unrelated shit, even offensive plays.

I'm not sure anything matches that. When Ray cries on the sideline, Broncos' safeties forget how to defend passes. Off to the game, hoping it goes well.

Holy fuck, Ovechkin can not stop flopping around like a spaz. I've seen clips before but how did I never realize he was such a blatant and habitual diver? This shit is ridiculous, he's a fuckin' European soccer player out there.

I think Haglin has gotten at least one break away a game. Step two: start sinking em! Not that that was the best opportunity.

And fuck, Straalman leaves injured. He has been key on the D so far. As if Girardi and McDonough aren't stretched thin enough as is with 25+ minutes a game.

Edit: He's back!

I'm tired just watching the Leafs D try to deal with that last Bruins rush. That was like 6 minutes in the Toronto zone buzzing like B's(LOL!).

Gonna be a fun last 5 minutes there, 1 goal game.
