Yeah, I was kind of holding back on Stalberg. The reason being he has been just decent this year instead of dogshit. Neither of them are anything to get excited about
I wish I wasn't on my phone so I could post a gif of someone getting the shit slapped out of them
The Great Dane!
Looks fucking wasted (can you blame him? He was watching the Habs get destroyed, that'd drive me to drink!) :lol
Looks no worse for wear though. Great sign.
Take it to the offseason thread.
Who does he think he is?! Uncharted: Drake's Fortune?
Why you gotta hurt me like that, bro?

The only reason a trade wouldn't get laughed at is if Kane fucks Toews' mom and doesn't call her the next day
Which he wouldn't

That didn't happen already? I just assumed Kane sleeps with every woman who comes to Chicago....

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised. And to clarify, I was saying he wouldn't call her. He would def bang Toews' mom if the opportunity arose
Yup. He is probably out for the series.
Which is fine, Eminger played well all series except for that one stupid play that led to the Perreault goal that got Washington back into game 4. Unfortunately Torts benched him after that because that's what Torts does sometimes. Hopefully he has a bounce back game tonight. They were really able to spread around playing time for the first three games which really helped Mac and Girardi a lot by not grinding them down, but Eminger's benching in game 4 meant they both had crazy time on the ice. I think something like 29:30-ish for Girardi and 31+ for McDonagh.
Can't keep doing that or they'll burn out like last year.

I'm so glad you're pointing this out. I've felt this way for a long time. That famous Subban hit to Marchand looks dirty as hell too. It looks like he jumps into the hit.Damn you for not just believing me. But Kronwall is both a Red Wing AND Swedish so of course you'll go to bat for him.
First off, you're poisoning the well by making the comparison between the back hit and ILLEGAL normal hits, as if they are always unavoidable. Secondly, we're talking about a sample size of a not-too-many *ever* compared to thousands per season.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rppnMrGDqDk (4 min penalty - primary point of contact appears to be the head)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdKjFlfIL8Y (primary point of contact appears to be the head)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXU2B1TN5aU (leaves his feet here, which he sometimes does, somehow doesn't get a penalty)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgsied-_URM (leaves his feet, hits Heatley in the head, Heatley leaves for dressing room. he actually started to do the back hit but turned a bit just beforehand)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwjl_Z7LUCE (primary point of contact is the head. Similarly, he doesn't fully commit to the back hit and ends up catching voracek in the head with his shoulder)
Those are just the ones that came up first on YouTube. Maybe there are some cleaner ones out there that you can produce. Again, I'm not saying these are illegal under 48.1. But you claimed that there is "much less risk (or zero) of the head being the principle point of contact", which is clearly false, that these hits are "totally clean", which is most definitely false, and don't lead to guys lying motionless on the ice, which I suppose is true since Voracek is technically twitching in that last video.
Anyway, if it's kept to just Kronwall and the occasional Subban, it's not much cause for concern. But I think if this was a frequently used hit you'd have a significant rise in (accumulated) brain damage. Getting hit in the head by someone's solid back, full speed, is fucking devastating. And yeah they should keep their heads up.

Lol Leaf nation on Hfboards always wants the big star and doesn't believe in home grown talent.
Lol at the thread title too.

Same guy who proposed Reilly+ for Toews also compared Reilly+Gardiner to Suter+Weber.
Then again what did you expect from an account named "Leafs Win The Cup"?

How's this?
To Toronto: Lundqvist and Nash
To NYR: Reimer and Grabovski

Fuck Kronwall
Giving up way too much in that deal, Rangers make away like bandits. You gotta at least throw in a second round pick in there brah.
What? No, that's not true. Come on, you can count to three, no? I posted mainly videos where he led with his back (3/5). I posted the other two because he seemed to want to use his back with the way he approached but because of the timing or whatever reason he led with his shoulder instead.
And otherwise you've basically ignored the rest of my argument, focusing on something that isn't true. *shrugs*

Kronwall is a guy I would love on Philly. He definitely crosses the line sometimes, but more often than not he doesn't and its just beautiful.

Half-assed it.
Loving these, but you really need to get the logos for other eliminated teams on the other people in the rejects section!
Yeah, I'll try it on the next round or next elimination. Soc gave me the heads up already.
Quick said that he looks forward to 'doing it right tonight when the Leafs are eliminated'. (paraphrased)

kronwall changed his hitting style to lead with his back to make the hits less borderline.
they're legal now - that's all that really matters.

The fact that Kronwall has his own verb just shows how awesome he is.

Anytime someone inserts the word "apparently" into their post, they're normally either reporting something from HFBoards, or exaggerating news that they've heard.
So, kinda.

The Sun is fairly accurate when they report on the Senators, they suck when they write about any other team.
Spezza is skating with the Black Aces, which is a big change from skating on his own. He is getting close.
The most optimistic homer prediction I can make is we lose in the ECF.
It's unlikely but possible we make it past the 2nd round, Spezza or not(Obviously #19 will give us a big boost).
Sens have done so well this year not a single fan should be disappointed, wherever they end up.
The stage is set for a great run next year and I can't wait to play Montreal again. That should be a fun game and hopefully the start of a fun rivalry.
