NHL 15-16: wife-beaters, adulterers, cokeheads, rapists, pill-poppers, AND METHODISTS

[2001mark]

I gave it a shot but I don't like this 3v3 OT business. If a penalty is committed it goes to 4v3, because you can't have less than 3 skaters on the ice. It's dumb to add a skater for a penalty, proving 3v3 is dumb. 4v4, 5 minutes, please.

Actually, that's been my preferred idea since the pre-Crosby lockout. Revert to 4-4, bringing a 5th on for a PP. Rinks aren't getting any bigger, yet the players have grown so much since the go go 80's.

At the very end of the day, the NHL is an entertainment product.

Sharks beat Penguins 3-1. Patrick Marleau had 2 assists for his 1000th and 1001 points. Paul Martin also scored against his former team. Team Teal 5-0 so far on their six game road trip and have jump to a tie for first place in the Pacific with the Kings.

I drafted both Marleau & Martin Jones for my fantasy team. Mostly as a flier, each have been pretty helpful so far.

[The Six]

Duckpoop. This team will not make the playoffs.

In retrospect, I would've enjoyed Tampa-Anaheim more than Chicago-Tampa last year, because Tampa would've won in the first matchup.

[DEAD!]

The Stars are 17-4 ... and yet, two of those losses were to the Maple Leafs...

[The_Admiral]

Haha, no they wouldn't. The Ducks were just as good as the Hawks. You think Stamkos would have fared better with Getzlaf and Kesler checking him?

EDIT: Oh and the Bolts would have hit the wall in the back end of the series against a Ducks team with four fewer games played.

[Morgan33]

It wasn't Tampa's turn, winner of last years Western Conference Final would have won regardless. Still think it would have still ended in 6 had the Ducks advanced.

[DaRadniz29]

Shark down 3-1 early in the third period rattle off four straight goals and beat the Beej 5-3. I thought when the Sharks let the early goal in they were going to go into turtle mode and just rest up for Chicago, but they apparently found some energy and/or Columbus went into turtle mode.

[Alex Houston]

Well, I for one was not expecting that.

[chcarlson23]

One of the best teams Nashville has ever had, gets shut out in 3 consecutive games. 4-0 vs. CBJ, 4-0 vs. the Wild, and 3-0 vs. NYR, plus whatever they had in the last game for a combined almost 200 minutes, beating a franchise record of 170:something.

[DaRadniz29]

Win six in a row, on a perfect road trip, then you come home and play your worst game of the season...smh. If it wasn't for Jones 'Hawks probably would have won the game 10-2

Wow! This is fantasy hockey at it's best. You're talking about a team that choked last year because it's top two players didn't show up in games 6 and 7... if they didn't show up in games 6 & 7 in the semis how exactly do they get to the Finals and beat a better team? They don't.

[Morgan33]

Good point, but it's moot since it would involve the Ducks not choking in a game 7 situation under boudreau

It would involve any team not choking in a game 7 situation under Bruce Boudreau.

[Still MIGHTY]

Y'all are hilarious.

Hockey is hilarious.

Sigh...

[Crabcake]

Caps three points behind the Rangers with a game in hand, yet apparently the East is a "two-horse race."

Just sayin'.

[Unocal]

The Blackhawks are the new Red Wings.

Annoyingly successful team that turns so many road games into defacto home games.

[Crabcake]

Caps win again, 4-2.

Don't look now, but they are one of the best in the East IMO.

[The_Admiral]

Oh, Anaheim,
