  1. Good/great players can still get points while struggling/not looking like themselves.
  2. I'd like to see Rousell a bit more efficient with his skating. He runs around a bit too much in the O-zone with some somewhat desperate plays when the rest of his line is changing. At best, it's just a low percentage play that burns some gas. At worst, he's going to take a penalty.
  3. Who do you think is going to panic more? The team up 2-0 with a ton of offensive talent or the team down 0-2 with a backup goalie in net and their best shooter out of the lineup. Braden Schenn has been a non-factor this series because he's played like a 3rd line grinder. Congrats on having a lot of hits. How about time with the puck?
  4. You take that period. JV looked good. He's great at getting pucks back to the point. Boeser struggling a bit the last couple games. Footspeed not really there and some bobbled pucks.
  5. This has been a class AV defend the 0-0 tie game. There are 10 minutes left in the third. In the AM game, Dallas had nearly twice as many shots as both teams combined.
  6. Anyone other than Walker indicate that Tarasenko might be out? Don't trust him at all.
  7. 5 straight PPs for Dallas and they've been outscored 1-0. They should be sent back to Dallas a game early just for how embarrassingly bad they've been in these playoffs.
  8. We don't know how his teammates feel. Maybe he only left because his teammates were supportive.
  9. Any player should have every right to choose his family over hockey. Guess what? You become elite at your job, whatever that job might be, and you earn the ability to do things that others might not be able to get away with. The problem I have is that Rask seemed plenty okay with being in the bubble when he thought he was going to win games. Based on his quote the day prior, it seemed like he wasn't having fun, and used his family as a reason to get out of his responsibilities. I'd have a much easier time believing that his decision was family-related if he hadn't come out with the earlier statement. It is also possible that his earlier statement was just out of frustration of not being able to be home and see the family, so he gets some benefit of the doubt.
  10. Rask returning home. Looks like I will finally get a goaltender for these playoffs. Halak to return to his Habs form from 2010.
  11. Jennifer Lawrence's shtick became so nauseating so quickly. The level of desperation to come across as "just one of you folk".
  12. It was like the "chef's soup" of movies. As if little ideas that Ayer had that never made it into all his previous movies were just thrown together in one bouillabaisse of sick. - Nail bomb - Sacrificing chickens - Religious forehead rubbing - Character that flies off the handle when he drinks. But also is a womanized. But also has done a lot of bad things. But you never see it. But people believe it. - Wife that ALSO does crime - Two indistinguishable cousins that suck at their job That should eat up about 70 minutes of screen time. Can just play a bunch of B-roll scenes from clubs and parties until things just sort of end.
  13. The Tax Collector: 2/10 Might be the worst movie I've seen all year. David Ayer either makes amazing movies (Training Day, End of Watch) or terrible ones (Suicide Squad, this one)

  15. How is it that after all these years the NHL's website still looks like trash.

  16. Yikes. You'd think I'd have a bit of hope because my top line is still together.... but they've combined for two points so far.
  17. At least Seguin has made an effort to change. Jamie Benn reminds me of Eric Gudbranson. He just looks like he would be a great hockey player and captain. He only fights when it serves himself and he has lost more than half a step.
  18. Unfortunately this might not be the series to highlight how great Mackinnon is, because the AZ Coyotes are boring AF, but the Avs will still win.
  19. Wish Lewis lost. Guy is a scumbag. https://au.sports.yahoo.com/ufc-derrick-lewis-spits-rival-aleksei-oleinik-food-015727519.html
