2022 Stanley Cup playoffs thread

Right or wrong here, I have seen lots of talk on hockey Twitter that it was borderline intentional with many saying hockey players know what they are doing with their sticks and when something is off, etc. Didn't totally look like it to me, but who knows.

That said, you follow Kiszla on Twitter? Dude does nothing but try to negatively rile up the Denver fan base, regardless of sport. He is not your prototypical homer media by any means. Not even really close.

 

I’m not sure how you can find the small slit in the keeper’s mask to hit him in the face while tracking the puck and getting harassed by a defender. But sure it could have been intentional …

In seriousness, his only crime was not making sure his stick was on the ice. You never expect what happened to happen but I’ve seen plenty of things go wrong because a dude’s stick was up. Still how do you expect that is what’s going to happen?

 

It’s not intentional, it’s a ridiculous claim.

 

It is what he does. Rile. So it might not be toward Colorado fans, but then Nashville fans and hockey fans in general. Dude doesn't believe half the stuff he Tweets or writes any more. He does it all to get a reaction. He is one of those.

 

I think the latter is more the criticisms I've seen from hockey people. And that he didn't really stop once it was up in there. Not sure how you get it out at that point, but still.

 

Then they blew the three-goal lead. The last one was a reminder that while Letang plays a ton and can do some special things, he also makes some truly awful mistakes.

For all the talk of the goaltending advantage, and the Rangers do have a huge edge in that department with the Penguins down to their third-string guy, Pittsburgh managed to knock Shesterkin out of the game and could still end up losing at home. That would just be a devastating loss.

 

Sidney Crosby did this on an empty-net goal to put tonight's game away.

 

Yeah, played in Hamilton among other OHA stops and as you are well aware being a son of WNY, an absolute icon in Buffalo during his years with the Sabres.

 

L.A.-Edm.: From Game 2 to well into Game 3, the Oilers scored 11 goals in a row.

 

Leafs Leafing all over themselves right now

 

“Hello Barry, this is Steve Yzerman…”
