There's a difference between slinging an admittedly crude in-joke once every few weeks to get a laugh and being an absolute cunt with every single post.

Agree to disagree.

Anyway, I think LeBrun jinxed the Kings with this article. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/15234764/nhl-2016-stanley-cup-playoffs-los-angeles-kings-announce-their-arrival

Usually you like seeing positive news about your team, but this is way premature. He'll look really silly if the Sharks win Game 4 by a couple goals.

3 games for PEB

edit: nvm I think that was speculation

I think they have to make a fancy video about it. So maybe we'll know by tomorrow.

I think 2 games, personally.


Also, it sounds like Zatkoff is being backed up by Murray tonight, so...I'm guessing the Rangers are winning that series, like I predicted.

 

[Line_HTX]

Kings' 1st Periods are just giant complete shit. Love the OT win, but I'm still tepid on how they start games. No control of spaces, no possessions, allowing 1st shot goals within 30 fucking seconds...

Holtby exits the ice after a collision with teammate. He was favoring his left leg.

Uh oh

Not sure exact nature of the injury but Braden Holtby has left the ice. Tom Wilson looked at me, smiled and said it's OK. #CapitalsTalk

PLEASE SWEET BABY JESUS

 

[Smiley90]

No, nobody is saying that.

 

[MetatronM]

Dangerous times to be a Metro division goalie.

The only #1 goalie on any of the 5 Metro teams in the playoffs presently physically unscathed is somehow Steve Mason.

It appears to be a chicken with the Red Wings logo as its wings.

Physically unscathed, maybe.

Emotionally though...

Braden Holtby's equipment was already in his locker and he's not in the locker room for media availability

 

[CreeperBlocks]

PLEASE SWEET BABY JESUS

It's fine.


Edit: maybe it's not totally fine.

 

[Line_HTX]

Wait what? Injured during skate arounds?

 

[imBask]

"but Holtby was hurt!"

1 more year of EXCUSES!

Holtby just walked quickly through the locker room. Seemed to walk fine. #CapitalsTalk

Didn't have enough grind and Rispek. I guess Barry Trotz and Brian MacLellan are in a foxhole now.

 

[Alucard]

Holtby is potentially injured?

Holy shit, that is... I know I'm wrong for laughing but that was just so awkward. I can't imagine he didn't at least have some kind of groin pull from that. Hopefully that's all it is.

Edit: Ah, you ninja edited and that's not actually what happened! Good to know! I guess I'm allowed to laugh at that.

 

[Clydefrog]

Did Ryan White somehow infiltrate the Caps practice skate?

ROASTED

Heh, you still got it, jandro!

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Flyers are gonna overcome two 0-3 deficits in 5 years or whatever, god damn

 

[zroid]

Woah, apparently Jagr hasn't scored in his last 34 playoff games. That's weird.

 

[Haruko]

Yeah; got fooled by someone on twitter, haha. Realized it was an older video. I thought I had seen it before...

Sounds like Holtby will be OK:

Brooks Orpik out tomorrow, Trotz says. Called him day-to-day.

Playoff fuckery.

 

[Calamari41]

Playoff fuckery.

I honestly don't know how you walk away from that without a huge concussion. I'm surprised he kept his dinner down.

 

[KingBroly]

Looking at a replay of it, it looked like it was a rib/side injury.


And I'm guessing Holtby just had to pee or something, lol


EDIT: Trotz says "Holtby playing in Game 4" so yeah

 

[Calamari41]

Looking at a replay of it, it looked like it was a rib/side injury.

I was thinking of the hit on Orlov, who was "accidentally" shoved head first into the boards. My mistake.

Edit: Looks like Cliven "Bundy" Frog down there mixed them up as well. The names are too similar, and Philly played pretty dirty.

 

[Clydefrog]

Orpik was in la-la land after that hit. There's no way he didn't get a concussion.

Freddie Andersen heads off the ice. Appears he will start Game 3 for the Ducks against Predators.

Sit down Gibby.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I wish you all a good rest of the playoffs.

 

[Haruko]

Yeah; the impact may have looked more to be on his side, but his reaction while getting helped to his feet showed he was woozy as fuck

 

[KingBroly]

Yeah; the impact may have looked more to be on his side, but his reaction while getting helped to his feet showed he was woozy as fuck

He was gasping for air.

Definitely looks like he got the wind knocked out of him in a big way, which is momentarily pretty crippling.

The #NYR will be distributing light-up bracelets to fans at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Oh.

 

[KingBroly]

Oh.

Maybe they got them from Philly, lol

 

[Future Foundation]

Oh.

Meta, behave yourself tonight.

 

[Smiley90]

anyone got a replay of the Orpik hit? I missed it
