OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

Nashville needs to tie this. At this rate, the combined score is in double-digits, but usually they latchen down the hatches come the 3rd, so it seems.

damn Rinne...the hell happened there? looked like it snuck up on him

High blocker is to Rinne as lateral movement is to Gibson.

For some reason Rinne always tries to glove the puck no matter what side of the net it's on.

 

[lvjordan238]

Forsberg is lowkey such a dirty player.

 

[EddieDoyers]

This game got me on the edge of my seat

 

[lvjordan238]

Why Gibson always gotta pretend he's a nude model though?

 

[lvjordan238]

Let's goooooooooo!

Big win in spite of the beached whale in net.

 

[JCMojica24]

Series tied up!

 

[EddieDoyers]

Team just has to play like how they did today and we will be solid this series.

Also hope Filip gets a stick up his *** after that cheap shot today

 

[nermindee]

lol and johansen wants to be cry about kesler in the same game his buddy spears Silf in the nuts smh...

johansen has always been corny to me.

 

[nermindee]

I hope Kesler turns it up even more on him... Mcdavid had to endure 7 games of Kesler, this baby is crying after 2 games hahahaha. Kesler already in his head hahahaha.

 

[lvjordan238]

Just a guess but it's possible Ryan Kesler will catch wind of Ryan Johansen's thoughts and double down on his sticks to the groin.

CryJo is charmin soft and a total hypocrite considering Neal and Forsberg are his teammates. McDavid took the punishment for 7 games and never complained.

 

[DeadsetAce]

love Kesler...would love to have him on my team


i know ESF can't stand him though

 

[Bad Religion]

There is no truer fake-tough-guy in the entire league. All show, no go.

Max Domi proved that.

Even a broken clock...

Fighting Jeff carter though? Poor example

Fighting Jeff carter though? Poor example

Who should he be fighting? He's too important a player to the Ducks to put himself in the box for 5 minutes if he's not fighting equally important players for the other team. Fighting a plug would just put us at a disadvantage. We have guys like Boll/Bieksa/Manson for the real fisticuffs. And it's not like he's never fought some tough dudes (Iginla x2, Laperriere x2, Weber, Getzlaf, Tkachuk, Jackman).

 

[EddieDoyers]

Kesler is a top 5 defensive center in the league
Haters gonna hate

I hope the sodium and tears from Alberta continue for a long time...

I mean I'm not disagreeing with you, but it's a poor example



Kesler holding his own vs Ian Laperriere

No, pretending you're tough and not actually being tough makes you a fake tough guy. 

I watched Kesler for 9 years. I know what's in his heart. I was on the losing end of defending him more times than I can count. In fact, you could probably do a deep-dive in this very thread and find me defending him. 2011 against the Bruins and Hawks. 2010 against the Hawks. 2012 against the Kings.

Guy is a stellar two-way player and when he is dedicated, he can be a game-changer. When he is motivated.

Enjoy his success, but just pray history doesn't repeat itself with him.

And don't worry, you'll get your wish. Canucks will be languishing for quite a while.... but don't think your team is immune.

Scorey Perry

 

[DeadsetAce]

if that's not goal, it should be a penalty on NSH

Dumb *** penalty by Wagner
