2013 NHL Season Thread: TUUKKA RASK, HE'S FROM FINLAND, AND IS INELIGIBLE TO BECOME MAYOR

[NynJa]

If anything, the last two cup champs should show that having a great or even good PP isnt needed to win the cup.

Having a PK that finished tied for first at 92.1% offsets having a shitty PP

[Selamis]

God can the playoffs start already? At this point the only thing I'm interested in is whether Columbus will make it into the playoffs (they probably wont).

I would laugh, and be kinda sad, if both them and Toronto made it in and Detroit ends up missing. But like only 1% sad

[Bregor]

Going back to this, 012 actually has all of the first game's story mode that can be unlocked once you play through it and 012's a prequel so I'd just get that. Also P4 seems great and Gravity Rush looks fucking cool and isn't a dumb futuristic racer like it sounds but a weirdo japanese 3D fighting thing.

Thanks (and also everyone who said P4 thanks). I haven't played any of the other Persona games either. Working nights and planning a wedding has really cut into my gaming time.

Idk, Emery has been way amazing, just hasn't played enough I think to be up for vezina

[Flarega]

Ok can we all just agree that "history will be made" was way better than "because it's the cup"?

[Deader2818]

Selke - Datsyuk, Towes, Kopitar

Selke - Datsyuk, Towes, Kopitar

I would call you a homer but Kopitar has been excellent. Numbers also say Stepan and Dupuis should be in the mix.

The Lady Bing always cracks me up. If they go with the guy with the most points/fewest PIMS, it'll be Patrick motherfucking Kane. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

[Bweigelt]

I don't even know what's going on here or how it happened, but it's hilarious.

[Thoronas]

I live in a world where that gif exists and Columbus has as many wins as Detroit. Strange times.

[NynJa]

Love how the SJ player is holding his hands up in such a way that the PHX player cant get down and is basically trying to plead innocence lol

BUT HE IS GETTING DOWN ON THE DANCE FLOWE

[Ishido]

Weird ass fact of the day: Since getting his 666th career win Brodeur and the Devils have lost 10 games in a row. Hail Satan.

0-6-4 goddamn

[Richybear]

Hart Trophy: Shawn Horcoff (Crosby til he got hurt, Toews for real)
Lady Byng: Erik Gudbranson
Vezina: Steve Mason (Nabokov. Seriously quietly playing amazing)
Norris: Tom Poti (Subban)
Jack Adams: Kevin Dineen (Quenville)
Calder: Chris Kreider (Huberdeau)
Selke: Jeff Skinner (Datsyuk)

edit: Figured I'd put actual picks in brackets as opposed to double postan

[Bregor]

Norris: Tom Poti

What do you have against Poti? Sure, he's had a bad year and he's made of glass, but CAMAAAAN

Nabakov's GAA and and Save Percentage are terrible. Hes made big saves when hes needed too but the islanders success comes from the fact that they can score at will.

[Wulfgang]

And officially eliminated from postseason contention. We might actually get low enough for Barkov. 7 regulation losses in a row; that is the worst losing streak I can remember honestly. We had seven players starting against the Canucks with a total of ~70 NHL games played in aggregate.
