There is a Dave & Busters within 10 miles of the Shark tank.

"he went back by himself"

I bet he was there for hours. Would be pretty funny to see this giant, goofy eastern European playing arcade games all day long.

Hertl and Nieto have been so great this year. Along with Sheppard and Wingels really coming into their own our young talent is looking great. They'll be ready to step up when Jumbo and Marleau become less effective.

Hertl is a good guy, enjoying life and having fun.

Dustin Brown hates people like him

 

[Heretic]

Beleskey is still out.

Maroon skating on top line with Beast/Good guy. I like him on that line. All those neat behind the net backhand passes will fall right to Perry in front of the net.

Etem and DSP switching off on the MP22/Finnish Flash. I'm going to assume Etem will play as his speed and forecheck will cause many problems for that Dallas D.

I'm pumped. We're doing this Heretic. BELIEVE!

I BELIE---

Have fun at the game!

Not a must win for Dallas though, best of 7 series after all. I can see Lehtonen stealing the series. Scared of him waking up and shutting out Anaheim today and forever

WAY TO BRING ME DOWN!!!!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Also the Habs cup odds have gone from 20/1 to 7/1 for some reason

Nice!

DUCKS GAF IS NO LONGER UNITED, NOW'S THE TIME TO STRIKE!

Don't worry, I'm rooting for Anaheim.

BELIEVE.

I just think Lehtonen is really good.

Yeah, Lehtonen CAN be a wall.


DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!

Needs to be more like Gorges.

Who else is ready for the BOBROVSKY show tonight?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Wild talking like they're gonna put Cooke's line against Mac's line. So basically, don't be shocked if I'm perma'd after Cooke does something Cooke-esque.

I'm surprised Tampa has that many

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'm surprised Tampa has that many

Holy cow LA has a lot of hits

 

[Acid08]

I'm surprised Tampa has that many

Hit stats aren't always super accurate but LA being at the top doesn't surprise me.

 

[Freyjadour]

I'm surprised Tampa has that many

I kind of have a feeling that STL's is going to go through the god damned roof over the next couple of games. I just hope we aren't chasing hits rather than keeping our feet on the series' throat.

Holy cow LA has a lot of hits

A good example of how chasing hits is fucking useless when you are playing playoff hockey against good teams. Hitchcock openly admitted that it was a fast way to lose against a team like Chicago. San Jose isn't any different.

 

[Samyy]

More hits is sometimes an indication of how much time you don't have the puck

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

More hits is sometimes an indication of how much time you don't have the puck

This is true and also sometimes going out of your way to hit gets you out of defensive position.

Not that LA has a history of giving up goals until lately. Did they throw their Jennings Trophy away?

 

[lamaroo]

I'm surprised Tampa has that many

It's because they barely have the puck.

Habs aren't getting tossed around, so I don't feel too bad about these stats.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Hawks with fewest recorded hits but the most dirty ones.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

LA has looked rattled for 5/6 periods in the series so far. I think that continues if the Sharks get an early goal or two next game.

Early goals help but I think we proved yesterday that they aren't completely necessary. LA is just having huge problems with the speed at which we play the game. That's how you beat teams like LA and Boston.

Yea, they've had it pretty easy. It's refreshing after getting beat up by Boston and Ottawa in the last 3 years. Should make it to the second round relatively healthy.

Only now do I learn Reilly Smith is Brendan Smith's brother.

You must have watched an alternate broadcast from the NBC feed. Would have learned that fact, what other NHL players they saw when they were ten, what their ancestors were doing in 1957, etc.

Yep
Just need a half competent defence too

I just mean I think that any "regrouping" by LA will be meaningless if the Sharks get an early lead. Their psyche seems delicate.

 

[MetatronM]

Holy cow LA has a lot of hits

Half of them are against their own goaltender.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

people commit suicide after being beatup in high school. school is bad!
people commit suicide after losing their house. houses are bad!

great analogy!

Hey

I'm the one from Hawks GAF who's supposed to post stupid shit

Not you

Holy shit did I really just read that.

Alright, whose fucking alt is that? This guy isn't real. I refuse to believe it.

Spoiler

he's a cubs fan. Par for course.

Come on Pierre, you're stacking.

You should change your avatar to something non-Blackhawks related. Somehow you're even making sox look like a good poster.

Yeo is putting Heatley in today.

Panic mode? Panic mode.

Pretty impressive

 

[Clydefrog]

At least we'll get two games of "is that Cartman?"

Heatley usually plays well against us.

 

[lamaroo]

I wonder how many goals St. Louis would have scored against Montreal by now if Tampa didn't trade him.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I just take solace in the fact that if he is average there is a good chance he gets re-signed next year.

 

[Red_Man]

He would have helped with their speed. Callahan has been really unimpressive so far in these 3 games. Same with Filppula.

 

[Razorskin]

Come on Pierre, you're stacking.

It's hard when there's thousands of Smiths out there to remember.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Callahan was really good in Game 3. Led the team in hits and scored a goal*

 

[Red_Man]

He was hitting a lot, but aside from that he was unnoticeable. The goal he scored was a gimme on an open net, I expected a lot more from him.

GO AVS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Ryuuroden]

LETS GOOO BLUE JACKETS

 

[BolognaSoup]

Nationwide orders of magnitude louder than Consol center was. I love it.

 

[Acid08]

Aaron Ward still looks so weird to me.

And the Sharks org got recognized by the EPA for being very environmentally conscious and reducing their trash footprint. They donate all of the prepared but untouched food to shelters across the Bay Area, something like 8100 pounds of food this season.

 

[zroid]

Go Avs

Go BJs

edit: fucking yes lol

 

[Fata1moose]

Let's go Avs! Play a great road game.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Fleury LOL, here we go again
