HedleyLamarr Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Here come the Wild. Jake Allen deflects a puck past himself for the 4-2 deficit.Also, does the camera in St. Louis seem oddly high and steep to anybody else?Is NBC's coverage lagging behind because of the OT game? I'm seeing a 3-1 score.And I think the camera angle has always been that high in St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Man... I thought that Penguins team had at least one more championship in them after 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the national broadcasts still use the higher angle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Reports are that Jim Rutherford is getting fired now that the Pens are out, which makes you wonder why they pulled him out of his comfortable rut in Raleigh to begin with. Did they need an expert in giving no-trades to emotionally distant forwards who crumple under the slightest bit of physical contact? After he got done putting together this Canes roster, how could there have been any left?!? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 But really, this is a playoff thread and the year is not 2006 or 2009. We shouldn't be marring this thread with the Carolina Hurricanes.Follow your own advice you Whaler sympathizer.

Unocal Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Looking back, that Pens' 2009 Cup was hard to believe looking back. They've lost so many times as a favorite, but they went all the way when really nobody thought they would. Lost Hossa and a lot of foot soldiers from '08 team. I admittedly wrote them off going into that year. Left for dead at Valentine's Day with Therrien's firing Come playoff time, all the dominoes fell their way: They got home-ice against Philly because the Flyers lost their season finale to the Rangers Fell behind 3-0 in game 6, which is usually hard to come back from on the road Avoided the #1 seed Bruins twice thanks to Carolina (If NJ beat CAR in game 7, would have been in round 2. Or ECF if Carolina doesn't win game 7. Had to come back from 0-2 vs. Caps- needed 2 OT goals, 1 of them off a defenseman's stick Gets a Carolina team that basically left everything against the Devils/Bruins, swept in 4 Gets the SCF moved up against a banged up Detroit team I still don't know how they came back from 3-2 down against that Detroit team. Imagine how we'd view Crosby/Malkin if they didn't have that one Cup We're gonna look back on them ala the Flames of 20-30 years ago: Won a Cup, made another Cup Final, but massively dissapointated otherwise Two of the biggest mistakes they made were both in the 2012 offseason- trading Jordan Staal and not going after Zach Parise in free agency. The Staal trade was a big mistake (He was probably their best player in that Flyers gongshow- he wasn't on the decline around that time yet), and Parise would have solved their winger problems that have bedeviled them since Kovalev/Straka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Parise wasn't going to sign with Pittsburgh, anyway. He and Ryan Suter were pretty set on teaming up on their hometown team.Can't fault the Penguins for pursuing a guy that wasn't going to play for them.

The_Admiral Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 emotionally distant forwards who crumple under the slightest bit of physical contact For a second I thought you were talking about the SharksThornton's not afraid to mix it up. I remember the time Toews tried to get retribution for the concussion Thornton gave him. Toews started a fight, Thornton was just like "um okay I'll punch you I guess?" and still wound up kicking Toews's ass handily. If I'm going to cite it I pretty much have to dig it up from whichever deep corner of the internet it's located in, so I'll edit the link in later, but I came across an interview with Eric Staal where he was asked what being a captain means to him, and he replied in all candor that it means you have to talk to the referees about rule interpretations. Guh. I suspect a young Eric Staal once completed an essay on what Christmas means to him by writing that it means the day is December 25th. EDIT: ah, here we go Staal said he still embraces the role, the responsibility, of being the captain. He wants to be the guy who leads the Canes back into the playoffs after a five-year absence. “Regardless of whether you wear a ‘C’ or not, most guys would say you’re the same person, that you don’t change or do anything different,” he said. “There is some administrative stuff or dealing with the coach you may do a little bit more as the captain. I enjoy that. I like the ability to get a feel from all the guys in the room as to certain things from the staff they can do better. So you do a little bit more of that stuff. “But as a player and how you act on the ice, off the ice, whether you wear a ‘C’ or you don’t, you’re going to be the same. That’s the way I’ve been my whole life. So I enjoy being the captain of this team and working with the players we have.” I don't want to hear from my team's captain that he's just going about business as usual, except that he "enjoys administrative stuff." He might be a robot. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
