Wtf are you talking about?

1st goal bullshit try at poke check and misses the puck and falls down.

2nd goal he didn't even move in the net

3rd goal he does the goalie chest bump with the puck into a shitstorm of red jerseys, most goals would hold that, cover it up, any number of things, not chest bump it back to the other team.

He sucks, most people think I'm kidding, I think he sucks and if he choked on a Le McNugget after the game I'd throw the biggest party you've ever seen. He gets WAY too much credit for the Bruins wins, their back up had 15 wins too, it's not Rask it's the guys in front of him and he tends to prove that over and over and over.

What take a hooking penalty, come on he has the BEST GOALIE IN THE WORLD in net, you have to rely on your GREAT GOALIE at some point don't you? Ya ... that's what I thought.

I understand your hatred of Rask, and your frustration at this game, My Brother. But Chara should have done SOMETHING.

Yeah, it irks me how the Bruins can utterly dominate long stretches of the game alternating with incredibly sloppy play. And of course they don't score while dominating and give up goals while sloppy.

I was watching that game with my wife. I told her "All season the B's have had a bad habit of letting up late in games and it's occasionally bit them in the a$$. They CANNOT do that against Chicago because they're just too good."
At the end of the game she said "Small consolation, but you were 100% right."

He's a cool guy. Was always second fiddle to Stamkos. Now he's shining in his own light.

Yzermann must be having seizures!

I must say Linquist was impressive though. He stopped a few really ugly ones, including the weird bounce off the stick on the ice. That rubber thing must have looked like a beach ball to him.

Are we watching the same games? Martin is, and always will be, second fiddle to the real play-maker and talent of a team. Show me one year where Martin played without a once-in-a-generation talent and produced remarkable numbers. You can't. He's extremely hyped by media, generally because he is a nice story for the NHL. He doesn't fit the usually hockey mold - he's very small, not very athletic, not very exceptional in any means...basically, he's easy to relate to some on a personal level. Doesn't mean that he is actually good. Let me explain...

Martin is not even Patrice Bergeron caliber, for the money and attention he gets. Look at the way he skates, where he dishes the puck, his lack of vision to see where the play will develop, etc, you will notice that everything is very linear and uninspiring. He has high-level line-mates who execute. If you can compare skill-levels with that of say, Lidstrom, Getzlaf, Thorton, Crosby, Savard (poor kid), Datsyuk, Benn, Oshie, (insert great ones like Forsberg, Wayne, Oates, so many I'd take over Martin!) you should notice that Martin's playing at AHL level still. Of course, you say, but those guys are the best of the best! Well, Martin has 2 Art Ross and is one of the NHL front-men, so you definitely must make these comparisons. And once you do, you realize how much of a bust he is.

(sarcasm on) Martin was so good that he was the 4th line alternating wing for Team Canada...because Stamkos couldn't get back in. (sarcasm off) Yzerman is no fool. He didn't trade Martin for no reason. Stevey-Y is one of the greatest talents there ever was. He knows a fake when he sees it. Tyler Johnson...Nick Bonino of the Lightning. Give that kid a contract now before it's too late...so raw.

Oh yea, and bye bye Bylsma. Who was it that thought it would be a good idea for him to coach Team USA? Too lazy to quote me calling Bylsma out before for his incompetency...Can't even win against a rag-tag outfit of NY Rangers with a stacked Penguins team...well, minus the goalie, I guess.

Marc, think you're too hard on St. Louis....he's not Forsberg or Gretzky, but he is certainly no bust.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 
I still like MSL - I thought he and Stamkos were synergisic - they sure as heck scored a lot of goals together.

Be that as it may (in one's best John Cleese voice).... we get to watch him through the conference finals, and the Tampa boys were swept in round one. (Just saying).

I do concede that King Hendrik is likely the source of most of the Rangers success.

Tonight we shall see if the goalies make the difference again. This time Price vs Rask. I think the outcome depends which Rask shows up....

Hello, just to reiterate, I'm not sure if you got the entire post above. Tampa has been rebuilding their roster. Martin is just not a top-level player as people or the press perpetrate him to be. That is the point. No more, no less.

As for franchises, you should read up on the late Bill Davidson and his work with the Pistons and Lightning (very interesting). The present owner is Vinik from Fidelity fame (or infamy), and Red Sox ownership. He brought in Yzerman to rebuild the franchise, which tells me that he isn't an idiot. I guarantee you, they will be a contender by 2016. Just sucks that Lecavalier and Stamkos kept getting hurt and were not able to make it happen several years ago past the Bruins (the year where Roloson took Superman pills lol).

We can debate long-term talent and roster management along with cap implications and trade chips if you'd like, as that is what I like to talk about regarding sports.

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 
Maybe it's me, ok the D screwed up and didn't clear or stay with his man, but that pass was right through the crease, Rask was facing it directly on but he never moved, he didn't try to kick it away, hit it with this stick, grab it and cover it up, it went 30' straight and straight through the crease and he didn't even blink while it went past him then in a shot into the net. So it seems that's shitty.

Wow and the Bruins just got screwed on that call... Brad M. takes a stick to the neck and falls into the goalie and they call HIM for a penalty. typical. Wow bruin taken right down and no call again. Well I'm done :) LOL

Yeah...you expect that when the Habs are at home, but not on the road.



On a separate note, the book on Carey Price is shoot high. I think that all series long the B's have taken that too literally and shot like two or three feet over the net...when they're not aiming for the crossbar, that is. Hey guys, "high" means "just above his shoulders!" ;)

AdamJoshua 05-14-2014 06:36 PM

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 
I don't think I've seen the Bs look this bad in years, soft passes in skates, failing to clear over and over, losing pucks on their sticks, losing pucks in their skates, they are all over the place. Really disappointed in the team, sad response to a game 7 and a lot of that is with no one even around them, let alone when they are getting hit. On top of that Price is really on his game, he's focused on everything, not giving up 2nd chances, sliding the crease with ease and getting to everything.

Yeah, they've just been plain sloppy. They look like they just came out of training camp, not off of a President's Cup winning season.

They have to win this game, otherwise they're putting me in a position where I have to root for the Rangers. No one wants that! :D

Re: NHL '13-'14 Season Thread
 
Even the last goal was half-ass by my favorite person, I'm relieved that Milbury and the crew agreed with me that that first goal was Rask half-assing the puck into the corner AWAY from his defense basically putting it only where a frog could get it. I think only 5 or 6 more years of Rask left on his contract :D

Let's see football soon, the Red Sox are playing, not well but they are playing :r
