PPG is most certainly in Rinne's head at this point, and even if the team in front of him can collectively muster the best game of their careers, it's all for naught if Rinne can't put it together.....and you sure as shit don't start your backup for that.
The counter argument to that is that Nashville's backup is some guy named Saros. That other situation was some guy named Schneider.
Doc's panic attack diagnosis aside, the two teams respective alternatives are different.
It's a tough call. We all saw what happened when Torts dressed the guy he thought gave him the best chance at 2 points.....

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Two in a row in the cap era, quite an accomplishment. Was hoping for Preds but I can't find a reason to dislike the Pens. Well Sullivan!!!!!!
Now the real season begins

Yeah they proved they can win it without a franchise d-man.... you just need 2 franchise centres and 2 cup-winning goalies!Hockey Widow wrote:Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

I wish Nashville (and their fans) could have won. I can't think of a more spoiled franchise than Pittsburgh (Lemieux-Jagr-Crosby). Good for the Crosby narrative, I don't think it does much for the NHL.

New blood would have been nice, but I'm somewhat satisfied that we didn't add yet another recent expansion team to the list of Cup winners before our beleaguered Canucks.

If you imagine an incorrect folk etymology and resulting word relationship, and consider Lancer's signature line.

Cory "panic attack" Schneider.....I believe you coined that one back just before Schneids was traded for the 10th.Strangelove wrote:Dafock?Mëds wrote: Doc's panic attack diagnosis aside, the two teams respective alternatives are different.
Re: Playoff OOTS
Nashville got jobbed in game 6 by that early whistle.
But it was the way the rules are written.
I like what Poile said in their post-season presser. Basically if we have rules to review and overturn other incorrect calls, why not that one? Everyone knows that goal should have counted, but the rules aren't there to let it count.
Bang on. The league won't change it though. It's one of their few remaining loopholes to control scores and influence outcomes.

verb (used with object)
1. to surround with military forces.
2. to surround or beset, as with troubles.
3. to abuse one's status as an unaccountable sports body to fuck with, torment and deter a given franchise for capricious reasons.
Origin of beleaguer
1580-90 (for definitions 1 and 2) from Dutch or Low German belegeren "to besiege," from be- "around" (see be- ) + legeren "to camp," from leger "bed, camp, army, lair,". be- + leaguer
1970 (for definition 3) from common English "bugger" (to rectally violate someone) and "league" (an unaccountable sports body). bugger + league = beleaguer.
