2013/14 Random NHL Chatter

• Raw Dawgin' it

  

  Pens go to game 7 because Fluery gives up some weak ones early.
  
  And Shawn Thornton fines 3k for spraying PK in the face with some water lol.

  It really feels like it's going to be Blackhawks-Bruins again. They are clearly the best teams left in each conference.

  Sets a bad precedent if you don't. PK complained because he's black and black people don't like the water.

  I don't think chicago is clearly the best team in the west. Wouldn't be shocked to see LA or Anaheim beat them.

  Pens have officially collapsed.

  Saw it coming and fucking called it.
  
  My coworker was all doom and gloom after game 4. I told him don't be so sure NY is done.

  Same here man. It happens every year in some sort of fashion.
  
  2010: Just stopped playing against Montreal
  2011: Up 3-1 against Tampa and the offense and Fleury collapsed
  2012: Massive gong show against Philly when massive changes should've been made but weren't
  2013: Collapse against Boston
  2014: Lost faith in everything, sans a few players, they don't even try

  I agree with this as a Blackhawks fan. However, they have been untouchable at home.

  Montreal made it 2/2 in the East Conference as far as series going to 7 games tonight.

  I don't think Boston is clearly best in the East, even with how weak the East is.

  Boston vs Montreal is different than Boston vs the field. Always has been, always will be. If Boston doesn't come out of the east it's definitely going to be a west team with the cup. Boston looked like garbage last night.

  Love game 7s!

  Dan Byslma should be fired.
• Automatik

  

  Fire Bylsma, get rid of Fleury.
• End of Line

  

  Bylsma is gone and he knows it. Fleury was not the reason they collapsed. The entire team did outside of Malkin. I've already got the team I want in my head.
  
  Kunitz-Crosby-Kane
  Kulemin-Malkin-Neal
  Bennett-Sutter-Stempniak
  Sill-Vitale-Gibbons
  
  Martin-Niskanen
  Maatta-Bortuzzo
  Despres-Pouliot
  
  Fleury
  Zatkoff
  
  Letang for Evander Kane
  Sign Kulemin and let Jussi go. Kulemin and Malkin go together.
  Re-sign Stempniak and call up Sill for good.
  Let Orpik walk and trade Scuderi for a bag of pucks
  Call up Despres and and Re-Sign Niskanen.

  Haha Kane for Letang. This isn't the Trades That Will Never Happen thread

  I'm not totally blaming Fleury, I just don't ever see them doing anything significant with him.
• Midstate01

  

  1 goal in 13 games for crosby?
• slingshot4ever

  Crosby is just as much to blame as anyone else for that collapse. Not an elite player in my opinion. He disappears in the big games these past few years.
• slingshot4ever

  Kane with more OT heroics!

  Then you don't know what an elite player is.
  
  He may have peaked though. I don't know what it is really, but the same can be said for the entire team. That's on coaching. Shero might be in trouble also.

  Attitude. I don't think he peaked, but he has a shitty attitude when things don't go his way or when guys gang up on him.

  Can't even say I was mildly surprised by last night. Or disappointed, even, because when you pretty much 90% were expecting a loss and it happens, what can you feel? A bit hollow, maybe, but not surprised or disappointed.
