Pulling a Trotz. It's athingnow, if that gets even one ref to kick Sid out of a circle it may have been worth it.

Obviously it's fucktarded.

Hertl might be out for game 3. He's been our best player in this series so if he's out it might be over.

Grimmlokk · Jun 4, 2016

Ben Lovejoy!?

Edit: Great shot by Braun, but holy fuck I've never seen a defender screen his own goalie worse than Letang did on that goal. Murray never saw that puck for a second.

He might have been out if position himself.

That power play was nerve wracking.

Shoulda gotten into hockey sooner.

lurkingdirk · Jun 4, 2016

This overtime is awesome. Great hockey.

Grimmlokk · Jun 4, 2016

Why do other teams also have to be good at hockey? It's so unfair...

Grimmlokk · Jun 7, 2016

If the Pens win Thursday it will be the first Pittsburgh championship clinched at home since 1960.

Also this.

Also my black friend sent me this during the game.

What is the strategy behind line changes? Is it mainly about fatigue and getting rested players in?

Not really, it's a factor of course but not the main one.

The biggest factor is matching your forward lines and defensive pairing against the opposing forward lines and defensive pairing of your choice.

The home team has the last change, so the visiting team needs to put his players in first, then the home team can choose which lines they are gonna use against them.

The strategy will be different depending on where the face-off takes place, defensive zone, neutral zone, or offensive zone...even slightly if the face off is on the right or left side of the ice. The score and game time will affect this also.

Coaches are always striving for a match-up that they think will favor their team.

Fuck me I hope the Sharks pull off a miracle. Murray shoe in for Conn Smythe you'd have to think.

That's a funny way to spell Kessel.

Really though The Phil seems to be the popular choice right now.
