2012/2013 NHL Playoffs thread

His elbow does not change angle/elevation/etc. after he lined up the hit, nor does it look like it actually even made contact with the head. He left his feet after initial contact was made.

You're fucking blind.

There's two pens teams playing tonight, the one playing 30 seconds after the isles score, and the one playing the rest of the game.

The first one is pretty good...the second, not so much.

They are going to be in a world of hurt IMO once they face a team that can play defense.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Isles are doing a pretty good job IMO, breaking up plays, good pressure in the corners and on the boards, they've only had 2 or 3 breakdowns, and the pens have capitalized.
A bad line change, a couple odd man rushes, the pens just buried it.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Man, do the pens win games despite MAF, or is this just a bad night?

 

[Squisher]

Looked like he left his feet too..

He did leave his feet after the hit or maybe just before the hit, but no elbow. I just watched the hit on TSN about a dozen times in slow mo. Kronwall turned his back to Palmieri and Palmieri's head hits Kronwall in the small of Kronwall's back.

Pretty hard to say he aimed the hit to his head when he has his back was turned. Are we saying we can't hip check anyone that's bent over, not looking where they're skating. Some seem to think players should have force fields around them when they're skating and checking to see if their skates are laced up at the same time.

ding ding ding. winner.

That was a pretty BS call for embellishment on the isles.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Kinda thought the OTT goal shoulda come back. Shows what I know.

This is me.

 

[Mixolydian]

Hawks better not fuck up.

 

[uclaLabrat]

Damn, ottawa tied it...going to be some incensed quebecois

<- incensed Quebecois. Price does not make the big saves when needed.

Was Fleury in prime playoff form tonight?

 

[JujuFish]

Why do people say "he left his feet"? How does that make any sense?

 

[KK]

Was Fleury in prime playoff form tonight?

of course, give him 3 more games, he'll have it all figured out.

 

[MrScott81]

He was in typical Fleury playoff form.

He's the best goalie during the regular season and then the playoffs start and he looks like a pee wee goalie.

This makes 3 years in a row he has sucked come play off time. Definitely not a coincidence given his regular season numbers.

Uh oh. Meltdown incoming :biggrin:

You're allowed to leave your feet on follow through, but not before contact is initiated.

 

[Wordplay]

Did something happen to Price before OT started?

Looking at the stats online it looks like Budaj started OT, then two shots later game is over.

WTF happened?

EDIT: NVR, seems Price injured himself at the end of the 3rd.

EDIT #2: 1-0 SJ almost 3 minutes into the game, lawl!!!

No, I'm talking about the phrase, not the play. How did that term come to be? Why not "he left the ice"? I just can't help but imagine someone's feet detaching from their body and staying on the ice when I hear the phrase.

 

[Michael]

Price probably pussied out of playing in OT.

I have my doubts he will ever play for Montreal again.

Michael

(No meltdown from me, I have very low expectations for the Habs after their play in April)

Ah, I see. Yeah, not sure, I stopped trying to figure out expressions in english a long time ago.

 

[Uppsala9496]

Ha ha ha. backup to the backup.

And the Hawks score!

 

[Wingznut]

Are all the Wings fans so braindead? That guy should be removed from the NHL. Did he get fined, suspended for that hit?

That was a very clean hit. His elbow didn't even hit the head.

Perhaps you should look at more than an animated gif in a forum thread.
