NHL 2015-16 Season Thread

Quality post.

I would like a win that's not heart attack inducing please penguins. Caps series was too stressful

So much for that.

Entertaining game though, lots of back and forth and almost no stoppages.

Edit: thank God

Look at the fucking curve on this puck from the game winner.

That shit's got bend that would make Beckham jealous.

Deflected off the goal stick perhaps?

Amazing how many stories there are about him scoring his first goal in 9 games or whatever the number was.

No deflection.There's another angle.

I think it just happens on snap shots a lot, not sure how intentional it is. The puck is coming off the toe of their sticks with crazy spin. I think this camera angle exaggerates it a bit too. Looks like a 10" break and it's probably more like half that.



Also the weeklybest of thread on /r/hockeyis always worth reading. If you enjoy hockey related humor and trashtalk.

The Caps getting as many points in 19 games thing would be funnier if the whole has vs. hasn't won the Cup thing between Babcock and Trotz wasn't there.

That's just unreal. I don't care who's shooting, that's just fun to watch.

That's twice this series Hornqvist got called out and yelled at by a teammate for making the wrong play. I wanted to make a joke about how even his own teammates think he's fuckwad, as I find him to be a fuckwad and all, but then I thought about how envious I am to see that from a team. It's actually pretty cool to see that passion from players, engaged and holding each other accountable for their mistakes. Im so used to the PC bullshit, kid glove mentality. Rangers always seem to make excuses for each others suckiness.



Aaaand Hags just scored..... /tear

Kessel/Bonino/Hags carrying the Pens...along with Murray.

Yeah Kessel is flying, he deff had his Wheaties. And by Wheaties I mean cheese burgers and pizza.

Hornqvist appears to be a #1 asshole. When he blocked a shot late in the game with his hand, when he was trying to get to the dressing room there was a trainer on the bench with his back turned, and Hornqvist gave him a pretty good shove while walking by. It was pretty clear on the TV broadcast. That shit's not cool.

What a scumbag

I'm not going to anymore playoff games. I'm 0/3 this year and last in Tampa.

That's stupid.

It's hotdogs.









There's so much more out there...

The Kessel hot dog love is pretty funny. Any bitching/trolling over his regular season can completely cease now though. He's been money in the playoffs. I hate it, but it's completely true.

OOF....

Lightning playing their dicks off. Pens D taking the night off. Bad combo, I feel really bad for Murray. He's been absolutely hung out to dry 3 times on those 4 goals. Rough.

Fleury coming back in goal I hear. Guess Murray wasn't quite the second coming. Wonder if they end up switching back though.
