Lol at talking playoff performance. Lol variance

dunno about you guys but i knew this was an elaborate troll by MURS when he called MIKE a NHL caliber coach, aka a top 30 hockey coach in the world.

just because he coaches in the NHL doesn't mean he's a NHL caliber coach. that's like saying dale weise is a top 6 forward because he plays on our top 6.

yeah MIKE is clearly a horrible old-school dinosaur coach

trying to wave that away is pretty disingenuous, even more so than anything i've posted probably

DALE HUNTER AND ADAM OATES

Does a beacon go off for Mure when a Crosby/Ovey debate starts up? Something like this:

Sometimes you just gotta SET EM STRAIGHT

Can't just let the lolcanadians spew whatever nonsense they want about Crosby because it's mostly unchecked

Looks like 72off has pretty 'checked' info. And I bet if you run both players' concussion-adjusted stats, it's a Sid landslide

If one had to choose between Ovi or chokesby ever existing, every non pens or lolcanada homer picks ovechkin, even if crosby luckboxed his way to a cup

and maybe this'll be the year that tha 'chicken luckboxes his way past the 2nd round

prolly not tho

#ChokezEast

edit: oh wait, ChokezWest have been to the 3rd round 3 times! lolololololololol
maybe the Caps are THE REAL CHOKEZ after all?

72s info shows what I've been saying all along- Ovechkin crushed first 5 years, Crosby for the next 3 or so. Now Ovechkin is better and looks poised to be better now that Sid is becoming Henrik Sedin. But what I took issue with is a peculiar thing happened in the middle of Ovechkin's slump (due in no small part to two of the worst coaches in NHL history)- the Canadian Media conspired to actually revise history. They weren't satisfied with the fact that the GOCB was FINALLY better than the Euro, they sought to convince people that,hey, AO actually WASN'T better than Sid all these years prior. And you dummies started to believe the lie. I can't let that happen. It's not right. It's not honest.

pot, kettle, black something something

Murs,

3rd round playoff appearances: 0/10
Olympic medals: 0/3

always on the wrong end of variancefests, must just be the unluckiest guy ever or something

#Canadianmediaconspiracies

Yeah because if crosby plays for russia, they totally win every olympics

Great, credit crosby for being a bourgeois

imagine crosby played almost his entire career with a linemate as good as backstrom.

200 pt season not out of the question

the canadian homer tardisms over Crosby are bar none the worst

HE'S OUR SON! HE SCORED THAT GOAL! LOVE THAT KID!

Cringe

Bäckström never made the Canadian olympic team unlike kunitz

Is it me or have the Wild been the best team in the universe since the all star break? I mean no chance Dubnyk keeps this up but I think that we have a shot at catching the Blacksucks at this rate. Although honestly I'd probably rather play the Ducks or Preds as opposed to the Hawks or Blues in the playoffs so maybe best to go in as a WC. Nice to have options anyway.

dear stats posters, please continue. however, please note that [tabxle] [/tabxle] (minus the x) is your friend. tia

he probably puts them over the top vs mighty Finland and they ship some MEDALZ at least

I said at the start of the season that I was very high on the Wild this season.

Goaltending is huge as Dubnyk has shown. Even if they get decent goaltending, they are still a very good team. The entire Central division is very scary so who knows what happens when they get into the playoffs. If they manage to draw the wild card that plays Anaheim I think they can easily make the WCF.

Is there an equivalent to capgeek out there?

Babcock starting to tilt me a little bit with these lines. Glendenning on the first line with Datsyuk and Tatar. Seems like TEEMU would be perfect. Dude has like a million points in the AHL and kept stay up with the Wings.


Saw this and laughed too

Glad they let Val leave to Tampa!
