Playoffs Round 2

[Bruyns]

I'm cheering for Hong, but take that as a compliment since I don't want to face you in the finals if we were both able to make it there.

Jesus fuck W.Karlsson 0 for 5 on faceoffs so far...

what's the rule for FOW in the NHL? I thought the team that got first possession off the faceoff would get the FOW, but they gave Karlsson the L none the less:
puck went the opposite way but CLB still won first possession cause Bjorkstrand was faster jumping onto the puck, yet the faceoff was counted as a Loss for Karlsson

[Nick]

Tied going into Sunday. Nick has 3 GP advantage + 2 GP with Girardi and Manning STILL not playing... Pretty sure you got this, Nick.

going to be pinky-finger tight.

Yes I'm sure the NHL is out to get you.

I simply asked what's the rule in the NHL, not sure what's the problem with you

[Shoalzie]

I don't think there's an actual rule...probably is the judgment of who is keeping the stats for the game. It's not like everyone judges hits the exact same way.

Exactly.

I used to be a statistician for a junior hockey team.

I was taught it was clear winner of the 2 players facing off. If it was a scramble draw it was awarded to team taking possession.

i.e. the guy that got the puck going back behind himself?

[kyuss]

fuck looks like my guys don't feel like shooting today

edit: and Laine hits the post, no goal & no SOG... really not going my way tonight

Better give em a pep talk.

[kyuss]

don't even know what that is, sorry

but I now know Ferland will sit tonight's game with the mumps

[kyuss]

Laine no SOG, 3 for Morrissey who nets the probable GWG, meanwhile Grigorenko scores 2 vs Darling in the 1st period.
Ok...
..time to hit the bed, looks like it's Hong making to the conference final.

[Matthew]

All division winners except Hong out in the 1st round.
Probable that all 2nd place in division's except bruyns out by the 2nd round.

Final 4 likely to be a 1st-4th in each of their divisions:

Hong - 1st
Bruyns - 2nd
Fraser - 3rd
Nick - 4th

[The BBKL Insider]

poor mik, 6 goalie starts...voids most goalie stats....might just be the reason he loses.

[Nick]

With Giro & Beau left to play for Tony, I still worry that hits and STPTS are in danger


Some comfort would exist if G/Kane/Clifford/Beulieu/Englland could make a move on assists and blocks, a gwg would be nice.

MIN-NSH: Matchup has been as good as I expected. There seems to be fewer toss-up categories in this matchup than Islanders-Lightning.

actually, at least 7 cats are up for grabs today:
G, SOG, GWG, FOW, TOISH, GAA & SV% (when you consider the players going today, SHTOI and FOW look almost as even as the other ones).

And that's not counting Wins that are currently tied, only because I'll exceed the limit and Hong will take those by default: somehow Mason is penciled to start again today, in fact.

I see Hong stopped talking.. probably needed to take some distance to avoid a heart attack the way this matchup is going lol

it's going to be a long day, it feels like perhaps the most critical one since I've been part of this league.
It kills me that yesterday Kuz+Zucc+Josi+Arvidsson combined for only 2 SOG overall and Haula+Eller for only 5 FOW... hopefully I'll still able to win at least one of those 2 stats.

hahah i stopped talking coz im not at work.. in weekend i try to stay away from the computer.. im gonna bullshit today

[hong57]

you should have FOW in the bags as you have karlsson, turris starting for you while lindholm doesn't take draws for me

edit: nvm.. just notice it was a close call.. not lucky for you

[hong57]

avs seriously need to fucking score so panarin won't get the GWG which will give mik the win

[hong57]

don't even know what that is, sorry

but I now know Ferland will sit tonight's game with the mumps

WTF????????????????

i have goldobin, stone (as expected for stone) didn't play a game for me and now ferland?
