  1. you seriously pondering this? you make that trade every day and all day. Rantanen is a top 20 player in the league. Stanky is top 250. It's not even close. And his ceiling isn't even at Rantanen's floor - mostly due to his stature. He'll be a really good player but he's not a first liner and unless I'm massively wrong, will never be a top 20 player. obvs Rantanen has needed time to settle in and they hadn't found the right line combos until last night. I bet that all Finn line sticks around
  2. the moneypuck link above says the same. they were both noticeable all night. first game I've noticed how small dadonov looks
  3. this sounds like something a rougarou would say
  4. check out the scoring chances graphic. that says it all, to me https://moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2024030162
  5. so you admit to missing the Stars best play of the series and in weeks and you're still concluding they suck? seems like you're basing that opinion off old info. they flipped the switch last night. not sure why it was ever off, but they outplayed the Avs second period on and made them look lost for large stretches of the game. if not for some ill-timed penalties, I think we could have beat them prior to OT. but we were the better team by far and any rust we had seen before is shiny and new now.
  6. First few games of the playoffs were blowouts, but now things seem to be tightening up and the results are a lot closer. Don't think anyone sweeps the first round, but wouldn't be surprised if the jets do it.
  7. No kidding. That's the team we've been used to, prior to the last couple weeks of the season. I like the all Finn forward line. Seems that combo at least gave stability to all four lines. Maybe they didn't score, but after that line was assembled the play was mostly in the Colorado zone. We can build on stability
  8. Shit is bananas, y'all, and I love it. I just typed that in Owen Wilson's voice. Lol. Whisky. Weed. Hockey. Today is good. LFG!
  9. I forgot to post it, but they announced the start time as 8:52 for this one, so it's expected
  10. hopefully this is just the start of the pushback
  11. I'm not really sure you could make this shit up
  12. no it fucking doesn't. the rules allow a linesman, not the referee, to report an infraction missed by the ref. but it does not allow for a missed call to get called because a player lobbies. the ref didn't see it, but he's the one that stopped play, not the linesman. The Linesperson must report upon completion of play, any circumstances pertaining to: (vi) Major penalties (vii) Match penalties (viii) Misconduct penalties (ix) Game Misconduct penalties (x) Abuse of Officials (xi) Physical Abuse of Officials (xii) Unsportsmanlike Conduct Rule 20 Rule 21 Rule 22 Rule 23 Rule 39 Rule 40 Rule 75 Should a Linesperson witness an infraction (above) committed by an attacking player (undetected by the Referees) prior to the attacking team scoring a goal, the Linesperson shall report what he witnessed to the Referees, the goal shall be disallowed and the appropriate penalty assessed. The Linesperson must stop play immediately and report to the Referees when: (xii) When it is apparent that an injury has resulted from a high-stick that has gone undetected by the Referees and requires the assessment of a double-minor penalty.
  13. no, actually, they're not supposed to call things after the fact. that's the whole point Skipper and I are making. There was no raised arm or delayed penalty. Only until Mac started whining did they stop play, the got together, and then called the penalty. that's not supposed to happen.
  14. actually, that's incorrect. they have to call it a double minor initially, and only then can it be reviewed and it will either be upheld or the penalty withdrawn. a single minor is not an option. what most who are not looking at things through burgundy and blue glasses are upset about is that no call was made initially, until MacKinnon protested. the call was made after a conclave of referees, and then reviewed. it's speculation to say only Mac gets that call, but it certainly seemed to help in this case.
  15. and fine, you want clarification I think your brain can understand so hopefully you'll drop it? Manson committed a penalty and Marchment oversold it. the second doesn't negate the first. if they had called embellishment on Marchment fine, but the penalty to Manson still stands. but they didn't. so get the fuck over it. hallelujah, holy shit
  16. yes, if you also admit fucking makar dove - don't omit the relevant part, you hack. otherwise shut the fuck up about it. jfc
  17. that last part was true last game, no? otherwise he could not have been sent down to the AHL, right? - although admittedly conditioning assignments aren't my area of knowledge. will be interesting to see if he slots in. want a complete lineup so there's no excuses later
  18. it wasn't a flop call, but keep fucking that chicken
  19. so anyway, back to actual hockey discussion: since Bednar is being a wiener and not giving lineups before the game, any idea if Colton comes back for this one? If not, who slots in for him? Vesey?
  20. it doesn't fucking matter. that it a penalty, whether he embellished it or not. the stick is above the shoulders, it's a fucking penalty. cry about the aftermath if you want, but that was a good call. others weren't. get the fuck over it. lol
  21. K-12 for me. Even was an altar boy (no touchy) for a minute. I can't do the celibacy thing, though, and for that reason, I'm out.
