Just read the Leafs and Wings have restricted HBO's locker room access. So a boring 24/7 becomes even more so.meow wrote:Leafs just played the worst period of hockey I've seen all season. They are really shining for the HBO cameras.

They are lucky that they moved to the East. They'd be getting smoked in the West.SolidSnake wrote:The Red Wings suck

I don't think they feel lucky considering all the injuries to key players.Kovy27 wrote:They are lucky that they moved to the East. They'd be getting smoked in the West.SolidSnake wrote:The Red Wings suck

Johansen has been so good this year. Really hope he can continue to be consistent.profpolisci wrote:Johansen makes it 5-2
Also Boone Jenner got himself on the scoresheet.

I just caught the replay. Didn't really look dirty at all. Actually looked fairly innocent.profpolisci wrote:courtesy of a dirty hit by RinaldoKovy27 wrote:Marian Gaborik in his first game back in a while, broke his collarbone and is out indefinitely.
What am I missing?

The Wild need Harding back. Bäckström has been terrible lately and just let in a real stinker. Should make a nice gif.

Backstrom is showing his age. He got very old, very quick. He was a workhorse for years and the tread is low on the tires now.Gaucho wrote:You would've been right, too.meow wrote:If you would have said this two years ago, I'd call you insane.Gaucho wrote:The Wild need Harding back.

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
You know what it is too...he goes through these stretches, even when the treads were a little more evident, where he'll just kind of "lay down" in the net a lot more...he'll get his legs a lot more unorthodoxly involved...and then he just kind of goes back to normal...
I was never sure what to think about him besides having a good glove...

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
He is calm and technically sound. His glove is (was) spectacular. I think his best asset is (was) his consistency. He brought the same thing every night. Few soft goals and always gave an offensively challenged Minnesota team the chance to win 2-1. Playing on a team with that poor of offensive output is stressful on goalies and he always handled it well.

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
Backstrom is in that category of vokoun in the past decade where he was probably the best olayer on a crap team. Completely dominate but never win.

That's the worst goal I've ever seen in a NHL game.

I thought this was hyperbole. Talbot on nittymaki is probably in the discussion though.meow wrote:That's the worst goal I've ever seen in a NHL game.

I would also submit the Caron goal vs Washington from 180 feet or so.

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
I wonder if that puck doesn't go in if they don't shorten the leg pads by a few inches?
That might be the first real clear example of the shorter pads leaving an opening for the puck to go through.

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
That was one of the worst "clean" shots I've seen go in...Talbot's goal was clean I guess, but Niittymaki wasn't looking...Backstrom is actually attempting to play the shot, he throws everything but the kitchen sink at it, and it just sails across the line...
The Toskala goal from 160 feet, the Caron knuckler, the Paul Martin bank off the boards through Thomas, etc. at least all took a turn for the worst at some point...this is just a whiff...like that time Jean-Sebastien Giguere ducked under a slapshot goal from Brian Rolston (?)

Re: Other NHL games 2013-2014 season
I counted nittymakki because it wasnt fluky like a knuckler or something, it wasnt bad luck, it was entirely on him. But yeah i guess it really isnt the same.
