Zach6668 513 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 They also ignored an obvious call against the Caps (but not one I'd expect them to call against the team trailing late in a close game... (they ignored others against the Pens too, it's not biased reffing, it's just bad) Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 That Beagle play is the most amazing thing I've ever seen How insane was that? I thought for sure the Pens would never score again after that. LOL. Phew. Ovechkin was a beast in this series, btw. I feel sorry for him and the Caps. They have their best team, probably, in his career, and they run into the Pens who are rolling a better than than probably even 09 when they won the Cup. Oshie and Carlson were deadly all series too.

Dubey 1,035 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Kessel is leading the Pens in playoff scoring... would be fun if the Pens won and he got the Conn Smythe. That would make me happy. Only thing better would be if James Reimer somehow took over the crease and led the Sharks to the cup. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 I don't think Ovechkin was a beast at all in the series. He had moments, but overall I don't think he played that well. Kuznetsov was horrible. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Well this game has been a dud. Good result though, as I had STL in the office bracket pool, and very, very many people had Dallas winning it all. Next up, just need SJ to win tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My western conference bracket is perfect so far. If Pittsburgh gets past Tampa, I have a hard time imagining myself being upset at them losing to the Sharks or Blues in the Cup finals... man... especially San Jose. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think it would be great if any of these last 4 teams won the Cup. I dont know who I want the most.....but I think San Jose. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think I need the Blues to lose to the Sharks here, if I am to win my office pool without the Pens winning. If the Pens win the Cup, I win in a landslide. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Either way... going to stick with my original predictions... Let's go Sharks in 6, Pens in 5. Then Pens in 6. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 There are 8 different scenarios left to play out... in 4 of them, I win the office pool. Pittsburgh over San Jose Pittsburgh over St. Louis San Jose over Pittsburgh Tampa Bay over San Jose I lose in the other 4 scenarios (TBL>STL, STL>TBL, STL>PIT, SJS>TBL) Also, my bracket is in the 100th percentile. That's pretty cool, even if I'm 3,303rd overall. Must have been an insane number of entries.... and there's prizes for like the top 7 lol. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My picks would be ST Loius Dislike the other three teams so eff them. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My interest was low in the playoffs. What kept me going was my wagers on St. Louis just to keep my interest going However seeing the sharks in the conference finals probably will have me watching more. I like to see Thornton and Marleau lift the cup Link to post Share on other sites

iBeaver 409 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That is the one and only good thing about them winning. But my disdain towards the Org and Vagina boy and Marleau kills it for me. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 just curious, why disdain? not a fan of Marleaus game, but most of the guys on that team Im fairly impartial about, and kind of like Burns, Couture... Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well they were a rival when we were in the west. The few playoff series made me dislike many players. I've never like Thornton. Ever. It's documented somewhere in a thread where I believe I might have drawn an elephant and pointed at its vagina and labeled it Joe Thornton. I have many dumb reasons as well. Like o hate their colors and was so sick of seeing every "cool" kid wearing a Sharks winter jacket. Looked stupid. Everyone had one because teal was cool back then. Just not a team I could ever root for. Ever. But for mostly lame superficial reasons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It's funny, I kind of like Thornton. I always liked big-assist guys like him, Marc Savard and Adam Oates. I don't like Burns, but that's mostly from when he racked up stats playing forward but still qualifying at defense! I hate Couture because I traded him to Ollie for almost nothing. And I have no opinion on Marleau. I don't defend any of those positions because they're basically based on nothing, but I have to admit that if I regularly saw "cool" kids wearing dumb Sharks winter jackets, I would also probably dislike the team! I slightly want St. Louis to win, just because their team name is cool and they already got dumped on with the Rams leaving. Does Kroenke own the Blues too? If so, I am rooting against them. For me, the 'dumb Sharks jacket' team was usually the Penguins, and living in Cole Harbour, the Crosby stuff can get overbearing. So even though I grew up being a huge Lemieux fan, I can't root for them. I have basically no opinions on Tampa Bay, but they aren't a hockey city and won one recently, so they are my last choice.
