You turn into such a baby during cup playoffs, you know that?

I'm not complaining about the refs.  That's not why the Avs lost last night.  But fuck Marchment and his flopping ways.  Can't stand shit like that and he does it all the fucking time.

I'm quite happy to be going back to Denver 1-1. 

You guys are the bitches, though.  You'll complain to blacklab (and he'll threaten to ban me) if I invade your safe space.

Nothing about your guy’s grabbing the stick and falling down to draw a call with 90 seconds to go in regulation though huh.  But you hate it. 
 

and, he is a marchment. Nobody is supposed to like him.

You whine incessantly about called penalties you don't think should have been called but aren't complaining about the refs.  Got it.

Show me video and I'll let you know what I think.  I don't remember the play you're referring to (was switching back and forth between Avs and Nuggets last night).  I don't care for flopping at all.

watch the video above at 2:09 and let me know if that's a legit penalty or if Marchment dove (again). Avs killed it off so it wasn't a huge deal, but refs need to be better about that shit.

He got pushed. Looks like he went down easy.  I was at game but there was some point (3rd period I think) where there should have been a legit penalty that didn't get called.  Possibly due to his rep.  I'm the first to bitch about the Marchment experience with my Stars buddies.  He takes way too many stupid penalties (first period resulting in MacKinnon power play goal Exhibit A), embellishes more often than most which hurts him with legit calls, and just about the time I'm ready to be completely done with him, he'll score a huge goal.

Jack and now Luke Hughes being out injured against Carolina makes New Jersey a pretty strong candidate.

It happened last year during the playoffs, bro. Someone complained and he threatened to ban me if I didn't leave you all alone in your temple of solitude.

Stars trying to piss off MacKinnon is a hilarious Hail Mary. That’s literally the last guy you want to see red. 

It worked last night. MacKinnon was invisible after the second period.

Didn't catch any of that game.   As awful as NHL scheduling is for all central time zone playoff teams, last night for Minn was worst I've ever seen. What time did the puck actually drop?

I'm not sure anybody answered my question as to why Tampa-Florida didn't start their series until last night. That seemed very strange to me.

dude, no kidding. from the official scorecard: Start 8:15 PDT; End 10:40 PDT. That means the game didn't end till nearly 2a on the east coast. that's dumb.

defending champ perks? not like the Bolts share their arena.

Sad, if true...

I could honestly see the Kings riding a Kempe star turn and the Korean Harmonica Choir vibes to a Cup run.  But then I remember the Kings on the road...

Listening to these analysts at the break teaches you so much about the intricacies of the game that I’m not dialed into.  Liked defensive assignments and transition defense.  I know a lot of the offensive strategy, but defense is more intricate than you think.

Kings pp.  I felt before these playoffs if we could get by Edmonton we could win it.  But I just didn’t think we could beat these fuckers.  Long way to go, butt so far so good.

Ok, I think Colorado just might suck. Can’t even enter the zone on a 3 minute PP.

Yeah, Colorado definitely sucks. Can’t even beat a hobbled Stars team. 

Do you post such things just to rile people up to get a response or do you really believe this? In what way are the stars hobbled? They're a balanced team and while missing miro and robo sucks, it doesn't mean they're hobbled. I've watched two really good teams battle hard and luckily for my fandom, the stars have prevailed. But I also realize it could be way different. This is easily the best series of the first round so far. It should be a division or even conference final, but that's a topic for a different thread

Alex Alexeyev lost three Monday night after catching a Montreal stick.  The ice crew found two of them during the post game resurfacing and returned them to their owner.  Alexeyev said he put them under his pillow.  BTW, he logged 14 minutes last night.

They’re missing two top players, that’s how they’re fucking hobbled. Stop being a fucking Mary and enjoy your team’s win. Neither team looks particularly good in this series, especially Colorado.

I didn't see what you're talking about, but I assume you had to be talking about Bissonette.  For all his doucheyness, he's the only hockey analyst who does that.  Everyone else says cliche'd shit like "Gotta be harder on the puck," "gotta take away space," and (my favorite) "gotta get the first goal."  

"Analysts" talking about outcomes instead of actual strategies is one of my top hockey pet peeves.

Are you not familiar with Vertuzzi?  He's the quintessential Boston sports douche.  He can't help it.  It's in his blood. Yeah, sure, neither Colorado or the Stars "look good" and that has nothing to do with the quality of opponent.  To your point, I've seen multiple analysts say this looks and feels/being played like a final with 2 elite teams (compared to the cakewalks the top of the east start out with).

Vert gonna be disappointed when he realizes Avs/Stars is the best series this playoffs outside conference and cup finals, but even that remains to be seen too. either of these teams could take the whole thing.

It’s a good series but I’ve still not been impressed by either team. Colorado looks sloppy and Dallas looks slow and not skilled. Plus, watching a Star flop on the ice every possession is a fucking disgrace to the game. You may be forgetting that the Battle of Florida is going on right now that could easily pass up this series in interest. Wouldn’t surprise me one fucking bit to watch either Dallas or Colorado choke next round.

He and Lundqvist are both pretty solid as studio guys. The Turner guys tend to blow ESPN's out of the friggin water for analysis overall though Carter tends to be a little too into going for hot taeks and less actual analysis for my liking. 

 

Speaking of, Biz and Ryan Whitney are the owners of the new ECHL team just down the road from me so I'll definitely be catching a few of those games. Greensboro used to be THE spot for minor league hockey in the Southeast and it's shit that they lost their franchise for as long as they did. Mind you ECHL play was like something out of Slapshot at the time, so that's going to be a good bit different. Hoping the well wasn't poisoned a good nearly 30 years back when the Whale first moved here and kinda forced the Monarchs out.

I mean, Dallas has gotten thoroughly worked over by Winnipeg the two most recent meetings. Non-competitive would be another description. So not that big a prediction to make.  Is it a choke to lose to a higher seeded team, anyway?
