bob_sauve28 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Pulling for the Senators tonight. Hate to admit this will be my first fully watched playoff game this year. Unless it turns into a blowout like the other night.... Yes, go Sens and I haven't watched a full game in awhile. Weather is so nice lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sauve28 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 That's interferences? I see way worse than that every night. I thought they stopped calling interference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I doubt anyone in the hockey universe expects the Penguins to lose Game 7 at home... but strange things can happen in Game 7's, so who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 facebook_1495550253716.jpg From my semi-drunk vantage point at the three Preds home games (blue line, front row, club level), Fowler was the Ducks' best defenseman this series. Really good passer. That was an insanely fun game to attend. Downtown Nashville was a giant party last night! Fowler has been their best player all season. There won't be any trade available for him thus off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I saw a chart from either game 4 or game 5 in the Nashville/Anaheim series - Cam Fowler had 14 zone exit attempts and 13 of them were completed with successful possession. I don't think any other Ducks defender was above 50%. I'm still surprised at how much of the board was against trading for him last year. Perhaps I'm misremembering, but hasn't he been considerably better this season than he was last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 He has. I also think Fowler was a victim of the weird labelling that goes on in hockey fandom, where "top four defenceman" means you are a contender for the top 50 defencemen in the world, and if you are not Keith- or Doughty-level, you are a "three at best" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Perhaps I'm misremembering, but hasn't he been considerably better this season than he was last season? His possession metrics got better relative to his team, and his scoring jumped, but not to a level he's never hit before. I think goals scored is the only big number of his that was a career high, by one, including his possession stats. Plus, it's not unrealistic to expect more improvement from a 24 year old defenseman. I think the emerging young talent helped take a bit of the load off. There's also this - this season, he played over 50% of his 5v5 minutes with Kevin Bieksa in 13 games out of 80, compared to 40 of his 69 games last year. Which ties into the emerging young talent.
