It's not like SJ didn't have chances, they just couldn't find a way to bury them. I need the Pens to get their together though... can't be having the Caps be the ones to bust my bracket.

Lucky Pucker Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 FFS - really? Lol! Well look - I can’t be expected to keep track of all the teams! When I was a kid (and had no kids of my own), I could follow all 21 teams. Now? Nah, man - my short term retention has gone to shit... like, goldfish level. Super handy when you’re a shitty goalie though! “Alright! I don’t remember them scoring on me... maybe I’m working a shutout!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 My 11 year old is a huge Caps fan. He made it to OT. By the time the game ended - is how he celebrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what's supposed to be fun about predicting the unpredictable...? I'm usually complete shit at pools and drafting - which I argue proves that I know so much about hockey that I am prone to overthinking. Nobody buys it though - LOL!

Znowleopard Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Man Hellebuyck is gold, rebound control is on point. Also i seem to forget how big the goalies are, seeing giants rinne and hellebuyck compered to tiny Saros(who really isnt that tiny at 180cm) really made me wonder how small i look in net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, did I feel bad for Rinne... I mean, as a pick up game sub, I let goals like those in all the time, but we have a laugh and keep going (in front of zero fans). His body language going off... ugh.

I watched some videos of him training with Adam Francilia over the last summer. It's pretty impressive how Adam, along with 3 other trainers, has transformed his game so dramatically. James Reimer has shown similar results having trained with Adam as well. It makes me think I need to step up my off-ice game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, in another draft-style playoff pool I'm in, I loaded up on TBL and WAS players - so if they want to go 7, scoring 6 or more combined goals per game, yeah I'm down with that.

Lucky Pucker Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Remember that time when you sat down to watch Game 1 of the Stanley cup Finals, and thought to yourself: "y'know what I could really go for right now? An ice capades interpretation of Lord of the Rings... no, Game of Thrones... no, both combined! And it should be performed by the people who failed the Cirque de Soleil auditions, with the people who failed their college marching band auditions playing drums... drums that light up, every time you hit them! that's what I really want to watch right now!" Me neither. (HUGE respect for Gladys Knight though. An incredible lady!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
