2013 NHL Playoff Thread: BITCH WE MIGHT BE

[Glowstickthetaru]

In other news:

Evgeny Kuznetsov tells Russian website Slovo he'll play in NHL in 2014/15: "No money can stop me from going."

Will be fun to watch. He's amazing with the puck.

That would make more sense if it wasn't pretty explicitly shown in the playoffs directly before this signing that you need depth to win regardless of your caliber of stars, lol

I'm pretty sure the penguins had depth. They just blew it.

this is a thing that not actually true

[Sepukku]

I'm trying to figure out how a 800k raise suddenly blew the Penguins cap; he was already costing us 8.7mil per year. Next year its 64 but hes still on the 8.7 hit for 2013-2014 and when it goes up to 9.5 the cap will surely too raise from 64.

So I heard you like ratings!

I know it's status quo for their current situation...but that situation is what all their fans have been complaining about lol

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie now

Weber/Suter deals have skewed high-end D market. Safe bet to assume Letang will be looking for at least double his current $3.5M salary.

It's not going to be the 2013-14 season that's an issue, it will be the '14-15. ooooh boy.

I will take your guys' word for it as I'm pretty new here and have a lot to learn.

That team is deep as balls. They just shit all over themselves when the time came. Abysmal performance out of every player not named Vokoun or Martin really, but it sure as fuck was not for lack of depth.

Really? Because usually deep teams with mediocre goal tending do pretty okay.

The top markets outside of Boston and Chicago were Bruins-friendly Providence (18.5), Buffalo (8.5) and Milwaukee (6.1).

This happens every year. Anyone who ever says Buffalo is not a hockey town can suck my dick and choke on my pubes. We live that shit.

[bluefan]

Well, Penguins have good depth.

Just a lot of them have minds of a 12 year old and when they get shaken, they're also stirred.

hell yeah

[Caiyuo]

also speaking of depth and oh god that game, I really fucking love how Coach Q can just starts playing legos with the players and matching them however the hell he thinks makes sense as the game goes and seeing it work. Sharp on the 3rd line? Why the hell not.

[Caiyuo]

also just copy paste the entire love letter to the hackey thread I scrawled out before Game 5 last week because holy shit last night was so fun
