We seem to go after goalies when they’re winding down or past their prime, never understood the mentality of this team for that

Anyways, The PenIsMightier is just bitter that the oilers didn't make the big show. Fact is even if they did with a finished season they would get destroyed if they can't handle Chicago which "isn't supposed to be here". We're at round 2, and everyone that "wasn't supposed to be here based on arbitrary stop date" is already out. Because they suck. And Edmonton can't even beat them haha.

That's really not it, but that's all anyone can throw if someone once foolishly mentioned the team from Northern Alberta that shall not be named. You said Lehner was a marginal goalie, I pointed out that he's 9-1 with a 0.925 so you respond with "typical Coilers Fan" when we're talking about Chicago and Vegas - not Edmonton, at all.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I'm complaining about the system. It should have worked better, but it has backfired in ways I don't think anyone anticipated.
The ramshackle semi playoff & round robin system fucked Pittsburgh, it fucked Edmonton and it fucked Boston from the President's Trophy 1st-place with an 8-pt lead based on 70 games played down to 4th-place because of 3 games.
There's no bias from me. I fuckin hate Boston, but I can recognize that they also got severely penalized for losing 3 measly games.

Vegas was flying last night. The Nucks stood no chance lol
As for the Flames, goaltending isn't the problem. The goaltending was good enough unless we are looking for a Kipper Brodeur type to play 70+ games but that's not really the league anymore.

You’re complaining about making the show. You’re going on about Chicago who took out oilers to make the show. You’re still going on about it. It’s a fair assumption.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Lehner has been mediocre and VGK is winning despite his performance. You’re continuing to gloss at his win record and sv%. He’s a .918, ranked 16th of 25 in the playoffs, and that’s only because of last nights game. Prior to last nights easy game (seriously go watch it) he was 23rd of 25 in sv%. His numbers got a massive boost from having to make 0 big saves.
You want to see good goaltending, wait till VGK plays Flower, or go watch a Philly game. I watch those too because my youngest is a fan. He’s disowning me if it’s VGK Flyers in the finals haha.

Solid performance by vezina finalist Lehner tonight!

Tonight was a must-win for the Canucks imo. Now that they've established their game, I'm much happier tonight.
Vegas is a good fucking team though. When their forecheck gets rolling they get unstoppable momentum. This series will be won by whichever team establishes the forecheck. Sadly for the Canucks, Vegas hits harder and more frequently.
Kapanen would have been great here.
Brutal to see his average get dragged down by that bad game. What is his updated save percentage, now?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Someone remind me of last night's Vegas score. I watched, but I just can't recall.
I assume Lehner must have stunk it up as the rumour has it that Fleury will likely start tonight. Makes sense to put in Fleury when the games start meaning something. Their back is against the wall being only up 2-1 with five goals allowed over three games.
Maybe they'll drop Lehner to the minors after this.
3-0 Vegas
Watching the Dallas Colorado game, I'm curious how we would have fared against Colorado

Avs look defeated after loosing Grubauer in game 1.
Gru, Eric Johnson and Matt Calvert all hurt. That being said, Avs look mentally physically inferior to the Stars. All credit to them, Avs need to come back reloaded next year as their window is only just beginning to open.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Boston done!!? So many shots, so not enough goals.
If there was a beverage made of Marchand's tears, I'd buy enough to bathe in it.
In other news, Colorado appears to not want to be eliminated tonight. I think their trainer and backup goaltender scored a goal ( in the first period)!
Lol Vancouver noob goalie props

Everyone 3-1. Only Boston fails.
I dunno how Van won haha.

Van did not deserve that win, but whatever I'll take it. Vegas is clearly the better team, but that's what happens when you're allowed to grab 2nd liners from other teams. Developing within is not an issue for now. Hopefully the Canucks can extend to game 7 then you never know....
Kind of reminded me of the Flames 04 run where Kipper would just stand on his head every night, make 40+ saves and the Flames would get one or two lucky bounces to win the game.
You don't need the best team to win the cup, but having the best goalie will get you a long way
