The Lightning are rolling with 11 forwards and no Bennett

I legitimately only noticed Bennett twice last night, the second time after I said "I only noticed BB once tonight" so I consciously started looking for him on the ice

I think Sheary is easily the better option going forward

the one game where Shawn Michaels shows up is the one game where HBK doesn't score.


coincidence?

this season, overall, has been a success - even if we lose tomorrow. there's no need to change anything or go back to the drawing board or ship people out of town if we lose in 6 games in the conference final. this 100% a good conference final appearance (not getting swept by Boston) is nothing to ...

Killorn was 30 feet from goal on a flat angle on the first goal. Don't let the NBC tools calling it a 'snipe' fool you. Assuming the keeper is square, the only places it could be on goal and go in are five-hole and short side high. No NHL keeper should be giving up that goal with that shot placemen...

Anyone who thinks this series is over be banned

it's difficult for me to tell who is being sarcastic and who is just ridiculously pessimistic right now

Daley saves that and then dunks the puck on the other end

so **** lucky

"Illustrious history of the Lightning"

Feels like Bennett has only had one shift tonight

Jesus H Christ

they show Gerrit Cole but not HBK?


i am disappoint NBC

Eh, Pens got away with a lot during that sequence

Did Doc just say "Bill Kessel"

Letang milked the hell out of that


Weirdly heady play by Letang though

**** you linesman

Erg

Correlation without causation is all the rage these days...it's just "fun with numbers"...82% of all people know that... Reminds me of the "the Lakers win more often when Kobe shoots less than 25 shots" debate. Does Kobe shoot more because they're losing or are they losing because he shoots more? A...

I think Letang playing more in losses is a symptom, not a cause.


I'd be interested in seeing his personal split (e.g. plus-minus, corsi %, zone entry %, etc)

NHL conf finals are infinitely better than the NBA conf finals right now


OKC currently up by 40

Many things are in infinitely better than the NBA IMHO.

French toast, for one



Not waffles though

229868 Are there any goalies in the modern game that are actually weaker against low shots than high ones? Martin Brodeur is probably the best example. But he shut down different types of shots. Because he had paddle down and then he didn't just stop, drop and hope...so, you could beat him low glov...
