Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Hey, NCAA football is ok - if you exclude the rapes going unreported, the untold boosters paying for kids to come to school, and the grades being paid for. On the football field, it's ok. Parity is low, but that's just how she rolls.
NCAA basketball seems to be like anyone can win at any time.

Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
1 foot inbounds and overtime rules say otherwise
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
But these aren't game-defining rules like basketball. These matter in maybe 1% of games.Melbu wrote:1 foot inbounds and overtime rules say otherwise
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
College football overtime rules are the best. I wouldn't mind seeing it shoved back to the 35 yard line to force longer field goals on failed touchdown drives, but I much prefer it to a coin flip. I think they should change it to two feet in in college.Melbu wrote:1 foot inbounds and overtime rules say otherwise

2-0 bitches!!
Teams down 2-0 come back to win only 12.8% of the time. It's looking good for a Pittsburgh cup! Props to SJ's goalie - dude played crazy good.

15 DOWN, 1 TO GO! Our first opportunity to win the cup at home. Teams up 3-1 are 31-1 in Stanley Cup Finals.
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Wild 2nd period. Finally got some time away during Annual Training at Ft McCoy to watch Game 6.
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Been an awesome game so far
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Funny how every year there's just a dominant team that goes on a tear. Pittsburgh never looked like the worse team this series.
Grats Zag/Jules. Happy for Hags and Daley.

Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
That god damn third period felt like it'd never end. That penalty kill took it all out of SJ. Pretty pumped for them to make it to their first Stanley Cup. Hope they get one of their own soon on one of our down years.
Enjoyed this thread with ya'll. I'm a MUCH bigger football fan, so we'll see how it all goes down this fall/winter. Throwing in the towel on the Pirates. Shit's awful.
Jules, don't go down town. I saw cops in riot gear. They are ready. I've heard four sirens on the North Shore already.

Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Fucking Conn Smythe to Crosby though? C'mon. Murray or even Couture deserved that a lot more. Oh well. I guess the Penguins need to fire their coaches every season now.

I didn't leave my island last night, I learned after the last Cup. Luckily it seems like people behaved mostly, East Carson was surprisingly clean when I drove through his morning.Zagam wrote:Jules, don't go down town. I saw cops in riot gear. They are ready.

That was so phoned in and forced. I would have preferred to see it go to Kessel but that's biased since I think the media owes him. Also my blind and irrational love for him.Malarowski wrote:Fucking Conn Smythe to Crosby though?
I'm much less insufferable when it comes to baseball/football, so you get a few months off from me and my running mouth

Next season is my year! Right?!?
Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
How this didn't go to Murray is BAFFLING. Dude was undefeated after a loss showing mental integrity and his abilities speak for themselves. The only thing that casted any doubt on him was how INSANE the Pens defense played. I think the Sharks had 2 shots on goal in the 3rd period trying to fight off elimination? Murray was big, but our defense was bigger than him in some situations. Both had to be ridiculously good to win it all, but I think that's the only knock on why it'd go to Crosby. Usually team leaders get bonus points for that shit like QB's in football.Malarowski wrote:Fucking Conn Smythe to Crosby though? C'mon. Murray or even Couture deserved that a lot more. Oh well.

Re: 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs
I mean Murray wasn't amazing in the Finals, but he got the Pens TO the finals. Without him they may even have died to the Rangers with Zatkoff or a rushed Fleury. He did show poise as a rookie with more playoff games than regular season games at this point though. Defaulting to Crosby, who was good, but not amazing, is just lazy in my opinion.
