NHL Playoffs 2017 [OT] 100 Years of Playoff Salt

Don't hate the playa, hate the game

Edit: Getzlaf was next level with his backchecking

This turned it around:

Great opener, shit is hype


Let's be real tho, I've never seen some cowardly shit like Kesler pulled tonight, bar has been set. Waiting for tabris favorite Canuck to reset

Don't try to hinge your defeat on Kesler sitting on the puck for five seconds when you guys closed out the game with three and a half minutes of power play, 1:20 of which was a 5 on 3, during which you registered one single shot on goal.

A lot of passes though on the power play though. Ugh those makeup calls almost bit us.

The Kesler thing wasn't cowardly to me but definitely trolling. Took a lot of cross checks and shoves to his head to everyone's delight/dismay.

The salt right now

there's absolutely nothing wrong with what Kesler did in that specific situation, There's 8 seconds left and he's protecting the lead, and he got the penalty for delay of game as he probably knew he would. Smart move. He didn't JUMP on the puck, the puck came to him and he fell right on it

what was he supposed to do? give the puck back in his own zone with 3 seconds left? do you also want that puck gift wrapped or something?

Kesler should have done the honorable thing and allowed Calgary several scoring opportunities for no reason.

Also, in the second period when the entire Calgary line decided to float back to the bench in a horrible shift change which left their entire defensive zone empty, Bieksa should have noticed that they made a mistake and waited for them to get back into position. Instead, he shamed his ancestors by passing the puck across to Getzlaf and creating a 3-0 rush.
