buffalo 5 shots 19 boston
buffalo 4 goals 0 boston


lol, wut

Sounds to me you’re describing the most efficient game in hockey history

throw the damn towel gif

In no order, Buffalo, Edmonton, Montreal and cause of cowboycold Dallas am cheering for.

Carolina too

damn near close huh

curious where that 180 pdo period would rank all time


edit: xg was 2.4-0.7 buff
what'd they have like 5 breakaways? lol

Sabres put on a clinic in the 1st period. Outshot Boston 19-5. Looked like the damn Globetrotters.

Stress free win, other than wondering how Boston would thug it up in the 3rd.

oops, i got that backwards and shots were actually 19-5 buff


yeah, that makes more sense... (lol me)

xGF 1st period Sabres 2.84 Boston 0.49

yeesh

He's not leaving. The cost to acquire him would create too many holes in the acquiring team. It's the Carmelo to the Knicks quandary.

Dude has 2 years left then he's free to acquire. Don't think he runs it back in dumpster fire Edmonton unless they get serious about improving their team.

If it makes you feel any better I liked your reality better

How does Edmonton go about improving in the next 2 years? They've spent a lot of their assets the past few seasons, no goalie prospects,no cap space and the FA pool is terrible.

I agree they are in trouble

Brutal loss after being up 2 zip

Going back to Tampa too, Tampa just has that swagger where they know how to get it done in the playoffs against a young team.

That was a chippy, sticks flying game. Both sides. Gotta clean it up.

If we held them off in the 2nd and go to the 3rd up 2-0, I think we have the confidence to get it done. Allowing that late goal was back breaking. Going into 3rd only up 1 was a much different game.

Not even embellishment, just completely manufactured out of nothing as stick wasn't even elevated yet.

loilers

Wasting the McDavid-Draisaitl combo (and it's absolutely correct to say the window is now closed) will be studied for decades in terms of hockey management incompetence.

Oh dear Edmonton and Montreal.

Agreed and I do not get the controversy the puck was across the line
20 GA in 4 games in the playoff worst goaltending in playoffs and defense brutal

Montreal last chance for a CDN Cup

Only way you fix this team is to trade McDavid or Draisaital and Bouchard

It's definitely over the line. There's technology to superimpose the puck, so you can literally move it over from where it is to visibly see it. Probably not able to do it quite so easily in video editors, but you can do a measurement.

Export the geometry to a CAD software and do a minimum perpendicular measurement to the line. The only factors you'd have to worry about is line "bleed" and the camera being square to the line. So the NHL needs to have a calibration for the camera and certification. As for line "bleed" I think the solution is a minimum distance the puck needs to be away from it to be a good goal. You would need some sort of tolerance.

Also probably need high speed cameras for more frames. The technology is all there, but will the NHL spend to do any of this? You are going to need to be accurate to within .1mm.

And so it ends for the LA Kopitars.
I'll always have 2012 and 2014. Otherwise, I think my fandom is now open. 12 years is enough.

The games look so much better on ESPN vs TNT

Was just about to post how the Flyers stink.
