Sophomore Jinx

Ya baby!!!

Some things will never change....come on now refs, even it up with a cheap call on the Bruins.... I'll wait...

Ya know what would make my Cabo Wabo go down even smoother? This. Seeing this again:

Typical call, gotta help out the B's.

Are you watching the game? FLA does NOT look scared, they look hungrier than the Bruins, and they're keeping them to the outside and frustrating them...and I'll go with Bobrovsky over Swayman to come out on top....but we'll see how the 2nd goes, I'm sure BOS will come out guns a blazin'...

From the Puck Report, regarding game 7's: "Of the 741 best-of-seven NHL playoff series played through 2022, the team that scores first has a 141-46 (75%) edge, including a 5-1 record in the 2022 postseason." FLA scored first

We've seen this aloofness and disappearing act many times during his tenure here..."just enough effort" Bo, always coasting along, never too upset, never too happy....but when he had a chance to secure his future this season, with the prime opportunity in BB's lax system, (and JTM gifting him feeds on many nights) he took full advantage of the situation and turned on the jets... So now he's got the 8 years worth of cake, so back to ho-hum Bo. Elephant in the room, indeed.

Fake quote from Bo or not, one has to expect that any player, especially a "leader" like Bocephus would have that mindset of going in to the game "balls to the wall", "do or die"....but alas, the opposing team were big meanies, and sweet BoBo got neutered quite easily...

Big Game Bo LOL 0G, 0A, 0 PTS No PIM, 0 SOG, 1 hit, 1 BLK, 1 GVA, 0 TKA, 53% FO, and a whopping 23:02 TOI (4 - 6 min. more than all other forwards) GM and Exec. of the year goes to PA/JR, for the fleecing of Lou Lam.

Here a decent article on BB6 from the The Hockey Writers: Canucks 2022-23 Report Cards: Brock Boeser (msn.com)

Just a dumb move, no matter how one looks at it. He should be hyper focused on the task at hand, staving off elimination by the Kraken. Valeri is in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and was on the road, and as a professional athlete at the very least he should be lights out at 11, no partying, no midnight snacking, and no fraternizing with women - ESPECIALLY since he's married!

Valeri be like...

The life cycle of a Laffs fan....

Yes, exactly. If they start off slow yet again, it will definitely be a ***show hanging over and around the team. I'll still hold my reservations inre a rebuild though, coz I fear they'd just continue to employ the same, tired strategy they're wont to use every year, of cranking it up when it's already too late, instead of a proactive stance in taking the required measures when needed. And we do love our chaos here, don't we???

So we will probably miss out on Bedard and any other top 5 pick this year, but there's still hope! There's always next year! Aaaand, the tank MUST be resurrected, coz 2024 draft prospect Cole Eiserman is going to be the next Auston Matthews, maybe better... ***POOF*** awakens from dream....we're too good to tank, and refuse to do so...so we'll always be late to the dance and miss out on the prize...

And he was credited with 1 hit too! And he was 41% in the dot!

Barbashev would be an awesome addition, I really like this player, and he is also versatile enough to jump in to the top 6 when needed too.

Yes, as a 7th rounder he carved out a decent career for himself...over 800 GP and 200 PTS. I have a feeling that our 7th rounder Kudryavtsev could be the steal of the draft....high hopes for McDonaugh too.

Bo got a goal! When it didn't matter, with 2 min. left in the game, down 5-1....his only shot on goal all game. Last man back, floating in the neutral zone while on PK....fed a breakaway pass...
