I think you're reading too much into it. I actually get his point. As a whole, games one and two were not great games for LA, but they are definitely the better team. I think most people expected the whole series to look like the 3rd period of game one (which was as impressive a period as I've ever seen).

Agree with everything you're saying. They have two first line centers and two more centers that could be second line centers on most teams. That goes a long way toward being able to play system hockey this well with four lines.

I think what you're calling "fortunate" goals are exactly the kind of goals most coaches call gritty or dirty. The kind you need to win playoff series. They come from having possession and from paying a price in front of the net (as cliche as that is, it works). If you're around the other team's net, the puck often

To be fair, it's only 1 billion dollars for him, he's going through a divorce.

my god this is horrible. and funny.

I remember all those championships Jordan won without Pippen and either Rodman or Grant. The only difference here is that LBJ had to be the GM too.

why are you talking to yourself like that?

While we're correcting people:

The poor guy only made millions of dollars off of a glorified pet. We should all feel sorry, and maybe even start a kickstarter, for him.

Starring for both the good comment and the great username.

Another goalie here (played about 17 years, coached another 10), seconding what glatt69 says. If you look at the screencap in the video at the start of the article (don't even need to hit play), Williams is in the act of shooting and Lundqvist is perfectly positioned, gloves up and in front of him. A perfect shot was

Home run pass is a very commonly used term among hockey players, it's not the author mixing things up.

Even if he's looking that puck is going to bounce over his stick. Just a bad bounce at the worst time.

I think she'd also be in the clear based on it being clear satire of the Reilly column.

Not to minimize any of what you're saying, but irrational fear is most of what's used to sell guns to guys too. Of course the accessories are camo or black, rather than pink, but it's actually pretty much the same gameplan for men (see any Wayne Lapierre speech about how we're losing our way of life and not safe in

As long as you also ignore the statistic that 1 in 4 US women are raped. Maybe being a little fearful isn't totally unreasonable.

When the teams are providing the doctors that are signing off on the players getting back out on the field, it's a little more complex than you're trying to make it.

Agreed. Even when he got his pocket picked at the blue line late in a tie game (last night) he got back quickly enough to break up the 2-on-1 he started. He was everywhere.

Exactly — Sharp was also one of only a couple Hawks who still had his legs in OT. He was flying all game. If you're still winning footraces in OT in the conference finals, you are not on your last legs.
