Staal looks like a better looking Dale Weise

 

[MetatronM]

Was absolutely certain the Sens were winning after they tied it up.

 

[LJ11]

he really is tho

Didnt have a good game, but his defense is shit. Too many shot attempts, shame shit different night.

Why don't you tell me why he's not, rather than resort to name-calling?

Because I'm lazy. He's older, past his prime, but he was never overrated. All that and then some in his prime.

 

[Alucard]

Rangers are so flaky. Well done, SNES.

 

[GhostWriter24]

For a guy who's referred to as "King", you'd think he'd own a single Stanley Cup. Overrated.

That's not fair. Plenty of incredible players who don't have their name on the Cup. Besides he can still win one.
Hasek didn't get his first Cup until he was 37.
Ray Bourque was like 40.

 

[Future Foundation]

It's fitting that we get a fucking "so-and-so is overrated" discussion right before an Ovi game.

 

[zroid]

Can't deal with this rangers team. Why can't they hold a lead?

Not paying close attention to player usage so I may be wrong, but I'm going to take a guess that AV keeps putting out Staal and Girardi to "shut it down" when they have a lead. Not a recipe for success, that.

[GhostWriter24]

He's given up 1, 2, and another 2 goal lead in games lost this series. It's inexcusable.

This may be crazy talk but I believe there are other players on that Rangers team too.

 

[vatstep]

Kyle. Turris.

smh

that's so uncalled for, for once we're on your side Cake. I'll be here waiting for an apology

If the Caps lose tonight, it's gonna be World War 3 and 4.

 

[MetatronM]

This is correct.

Note: AV was much much better about this in games 3 and 4. But those were also games where we had big leads and didn't have to "shut down" anything.

 

[Alucard]

Really hope the Pens close it out tonight. Obviously.

 

[Future Foundation]

Also, can I assume that neither Staal nor Girardi will get ice time in a tight game again?

Fuck, that's not happening.

New phone who dis

SID IS BACK

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Dat capitals cheerleader. Wow.

 

[Zombie James]

Trotz is an idiot. Ovi isn't the problem.

 

[Alucard]

I'm no body language expert, but Ovechkin looks dead and defeated. Or nervous as hell.

Caps are fucked.

 

[Pikma]

OMG I can't believe the Sens keep overachieving!

When will this overachievement nightmare end?!

 

[Montresor]

AYO ANDERSON YOU WANT TO BE SENT TO SYRIA OR SONETHING DAWG OR DO YOU WANT TO GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Yo Chris Shiel I thought you suppose to prevent that? 🤔

Gonna leave this one just right there.

That's because the Habs are a bunch of dipshits.

I love you.

 

[MetatronM]

Vigneault: maybe our guys didn't realize the #Sens had pulled their goalie. We know how to play when that happens.

...ok.

 

[Future Foundation]

...ok.

Huh.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

...ok.

🤔

 

[ShaneB]

Was that woman behind the bench sewing?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

That was a dirty fucking hit on Daley

Crapitals just going to straight injure people already. Stay classy scumbags

 

[a916]

"Hit on an unsuspecting player... that's a charge"

Um, no it's not Pierre, that's not a charging... he glided into the hit, there by, not a charge.

Interference? Borderline...

 

[zroid]

LOOOL Malkin

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Pens are playing sloppy as shit right now.

 

[PillarEN]

How is that not goaltender interference???

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

LOL what the fuck was that trip by Hornqvist?

 

[a916]

Yeah, not sure how that's not goalie interference....

 

[PillarEN]

Haha Hags. There we go.

 

[Yawnier]

Hagelin!!!

 

[a916]

The Caps really are the best when it comes to getting great looks... and missing the net/whiffing on the puck.

Makes sense the Pens score against the flow.

 

[megachao24]

Hagelin scores.

And Holtby chants in the Booth.

 

[Alucard]

Woomp, there it is. Average goal. Keep it up, Pens.

 

[a916]

That was kinda soft for Holtby if not just average...

They aren't winning this game unless Fleury turns into a sieve.

 

[zroid]

Greg Millen, who's doing colour for this series on HNIC, made the brilliant assessment that Malkin doesn't try as hard when Crosby is in the lineup because he thinks he can get away with less.

This is the astute and insightful commentary we have come to expect from Sportsnet

It's shitty commentary, but I can attest that when you play on a team with a guy who's obviously above everyone else, you do tend to rely more on him, which does affect how you play, whether you know it or not.

 

[a916]

The Caps, without thinking should be firing everything at the net... except Fleury and the blocking is clearly in their heads. They want to pass that puck right into the net.

He said it was weird.

 

[a916]

Have the Caps never heard of "drive the net"? They haven't had any net front presence... most of their rushes are content from the perimeter.

Did he start the Malkin to Chicago rumours?
