FDS05 : BACK TO BASICS

We lost because Galch didn't play enough. We lost because Galch played too much. We lost because we hit too much. We lost because we get hit too much.

Jesus Christ, you people!

Still need to get bigger - Rags took over second half of the game.

Galchenyuk has always looked scared when the game is rough. Also his stick is 7" to long.

I've enjoyed the first round because I made a conscious decision to be careful not to get sucked into sports radio or any print media. I may turn it on at 8 as they may have Mckenzie or someone on then, if not, it goes off. No Marinaro, no Melnick until after 4 when Ferraro or someone comes on, then off you go. I don't think I have better ideas than CJ and I don't think the likes of our local radio pundits know more than me. I just want to know what Artie thinks.

Urgh, I hate matress shopping. Lying there like an idiot in your street clothes. Hopping from matress to matress. Trying to mentally translate the experience into what it would be like at home.

Horrible!

I dont think its about getting bigger.

The habs hit everything that moved for 40 minutes and controlled the game. Then they ran out of gas and the rangers took over with speed not size.

You'd think getting pounded wears you out more than pounding.

If getting pounded wears the other team out, wtf haven't the habs won the cup 4 out of the last 5 years?

Good man. The habs lost because of a lucky bounce off Emelin's stick.

These teams are too closely matched. Luck is by far the biggest factor. The only possibly differing factor was goaltending, and those have been relative non factors (Lundqvist having a bit of an edge, actually).

We've seen really good hockey for the most part. I've also tuned out all this stuff a long time ago the day I realized I was getting stressed out by things totally out of my control.

But this is why possession is important. If the puck is in the habs end for all of ot chances are the rags will be the ones to eventually get that lucky bounce.

Does this mean it is better to play better than the other team? If so, I agree.

When the pirates heard my story they they were so outraged that they released the ship and crew, took me back to their village where they nursed me back to health. After a while they pooled their resources and got a me first class ticket back home. Now they help people all over Africa.

They're almost mirror teams. Mtl owned the first half of the game but didn't profit from it enough. NYR owned the last half and got the last goal. Of course playing better and controlling the flow would've helped in the ot, but it was an eb and flo game, same as the whole series and it flowed that way in ot. Mtl is a bit better at keeping chances to the outside, Rangers have a bit more 1 on 1 offense, but if they play 100 times it'll be 51-49.

It is very even. Every game is a coin flip which is why this series isnt over.

I cant believe max will continue to take 5 shots a game without scoring though. Think hes gonna pot a few soon and that might be enough given how close things are.

And then leaning on your window sill
He'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
And then taking from his wallet
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
I told you when I came I was a stranger
I told you when I came I was a stranger.

Except they arent.

Sportsnet had an article on this yesterday. In the first four games he had 7 high danger scoring chances (chances max converts just under 25% of the time normall) and numerous other medium danger chances (stuff he converts just under 10% of the time normally). It then compared him to everyone else in the series. The only guy at that level is nash.

In addition to the stats there was a compiliation video of his chances.

The explanation that his shots are perimeter doesnt hold up when you watch the video.

Who is online
