NHL Regular Season Discussion: Sharks Pls

[PUO3]

Lord Stanley is a cruel god.

On the bright side, these are some of the best Crying MJ shoops I've seen.
Oh, and PENS WIN! Figure Ill relish it for a week and then get into football mode. Fucking Martavis. At least the Raiders might be good enough this year to bring you to dizzying highs before smashing into a mountain.

Buck up, fella. I know your pain...

...back in 2008.

But it's now 2016, and the feels are all like -

Can't wait for the parade.

Cant wait for Sidney to get his ass beat regular season.

Good choice it didn't matter - but the coach made 0 adjustments. I mean you get outplayed 5 games in a row, try something, anything. Makes me rage to think he just thought he could change nothing and the series would turn around. Joe scores 0 points outside of his empty better and the Joes stay together. It was obvious they needed some speed to operate, together they were too slow vs this team and struggled to even gain the zone, let alone set up offensively. And Pollak not only kept dressing, he played 18 fucking minutes every night including game 6. Pdb admitted he was outcoached and overwhelmed vs the kings in the SCF, looks like nothing has changed this time around.

Sabres winning it all next year boys!

^ LOL

Pittsburgh did the best job in the playoffs keeping the majority of the entire play regardless of score in the neutral zone or opponents end. This limits any play time the opposition can muster. Its also why we out shot everyone by massive margins. Everyone counted the pens out against the sharks before it began, next to the rags it was our easiest series. Knocking off # 4E, 1E, 6E and 6W. Good run imo.

I'm not convinced switching up the lines would help an incredibly large amount but i agree at that point try anything FFS. Game 5 worked for the sharks because they were desperate as fuck, I was legitimately worried game 6 would be similar.

Truly curious to see what we do for our goalies. Big decisions to make now. I'm loving the Kessel hate lately around my area lol.

Can't wait for the draft.

Anyone see Florida's new jerseys yet? I kind of like them, hope they keep their originals as 3rds though.

I think adding speed to the Joes would have helped them enter the zone and keep the puck in. And the other pairings had decent corsi. Polak-Dillon completely destroyed any offense we had. They got a lot of offensive zone starts even though they add nothing to the offense to protect them, which ended up with the puck back in the sharks defensive zone. And they would get hemmed into their own zone every time that happened or they came on the ice with the puck in the netural zone.

When one pairing is getting that kind of ice time while getting destroyed that badly it sinks the rest of the team. They are having to work just to get out of their own zone // Get it back into the pens zone // hope to generate something before the bottom pairing takes the ice // fucking boom back to being stuck in our zone and repeating the cycle.

that first pic oh man

Like the Pens, hate Crysbe. He did not deserve MVP.

I fear my Wings are about to hit a low point. It had to happen in my lifetime, but after 25 years its hard to accept.

 

[ChillyPalmer]

Time to focus on the draft and FA.

Auston 3:16 LOOMS

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Eklund going full Eklund - claiming MAF and Malkin are out the door this off season - which i think could actually benefit Pitt in the long run.

 

[R.I.P. KMS]

MAF could end up somewhere like Calgary or Carolina.

Malkin can come play with Sir Laine and help the jets miss the playoffs again.... fml.

 

[NewbZor]

MAF should be traded IMO. Expansion draft looks like you will only be able to protect 1 goalie, Pens will lose 1 of their goalies. Better to get something for one of them first

Don't like the arm stripe and body stripe being on the same level. Makes the jersey look wide.

Body stripe should be lower.

Like this

 

[Badger67]

I doubt Malkin leaves, MAF can be traded but calgary/carolina has nothing to offer. Trade him to Dallas for Lehtonen or niemi as a back up in pitts plus a winger/pick makes more sense.

 

[ChillyPalmer]

Ducks hired Carlyle!

Again!!!!

LOL ducks pls

That describes the Bylsma era with the Pens. I've never seen someone refuse to adjust more than him.
