Brawndo Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The NBA Finals is a showcasing the two undisputed best teams in the NBA, the NHL Playoffs had some of the best teams knocking each other out in the first round. But nothing beats the heart pounding action of a NHL OT Game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well yeah, but I don't know, he wasn't really a dick, and he's just a coach. Have you seen his hair though? It's criminally bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Well yeah, but I don't know, he wasn't really a dick, and he's just a coach. No, he was definitely a dick. Belichick is "just a coach" too. That doesn't stop me from hoping he gets swallowed by a sinkhole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Have you seen his hair though? It's criminally bad. Gotta give him credit for knowing it looks that bad and still rocking it :lol: No, he was definitely a dick. Belichick is "just a coach" too. That doesn't stop me from hoping he gets swallowed by a sinkhole. Was he? Huh, I don't remember honestly. But come on, you can't compare Belichick to Laviolette. 1) Wins, beats us 2X a year every year, cheats, is glorified by the media, has terrible pressers, and open mouth kissed his daughter 2) Bad hair, won the Cup with the Canes, but lost it with the Flyers, and never really caused us a lot of trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 NFL 2009: Steelers 2010: Saints 2011: Packers 2012: Giants 2013: Ravens 2014: Seahawks 2015: Patriots 2016: Broncos 2017: Patriots Ironically, the NFL's looks the most varied but that league reeks of the same 6 QBs finding success for 15 years in a row. Nicely done. The NFL is the most varied, but for two significant reasons: game-ending/season-ending injuries are more common (fewer games and higher risk of injury) and the one-game playoffs vs. the series that others play. But when you expand out the NFL to the conference championships, the variance is drastically reduced. It's definitely been the same teams for last decade. (And it's quarterbacks - go get a quarterback!) I put the teams in the same vertical spots as much as I could to highlight it: 2009: Steelers/Ravens | Cardinals/Eagles 2010: Colts/Jets | Saints/Vikings 2011: Steelers/Jets | Bears/Packers 2012: Patriots/Ravens | Giants/49ers 2013: Patriots/Ravens | Falcons/49ers 2014: Patriots/Broncos | Seahawks/49ers 2015: Patriots/Colts | Seahawks/Packers 2016: Patriots/Broncos | Cardinals/Panthers 2017: Patriots/Steelers | Falcons/Packers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Go preds, even though I don't mind Pittsburg (at all really) I am sick of the same team winning over and over, they've got like a new England thing going on, without being a douchey. Side note, I wanna change my profile pic but my S7 won't let me change the resolution so it's too big, and I'm always just doing this from my phone, any suggestions, sorry to get off topic.

Iron Crotch Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Laviolette is one of only four coaches in the history of the league to take three different teams to the Cup finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 What I like most about this final that its pretty much offense VS defense. Penguins defense is bare, and Nashville gets most of its offense from their defenders. Will be interesting to see if crosby and malkin can do something about the predators D.

Beer Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'm all in for the Preds. They really impressed me with the Chicago series. If only the Sabres had their D! Rinne has been an absolute rock too. A lot to like about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I'm pulling for the Preds too. Pens have their Cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 My first (and maybe only?) chance to attend a Cup final in person. Nashville has gone hockey mad, so I expect a super-charged atmosphere in Bridgestone Arena for Game 3 and 4. Should be around 10,000 watching on the big screen outside of Bridgestone Arena for Game 1 in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Win or lose it was a great season for the Preds.

JJFIVEOH Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Laviolette puts on 50 pounds for each team he takes to the Final, in hopes people would stop focusing on his bad hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Laviolette has done a masterful job shuffling the lines from series to series and when injuries occurred. What he put out there after Johansen and Fisher went down was completely different from what I expected but it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFIVEOH Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 So Pittsburgh's still not happy with the Crosby treatment in the playoffs. I'm sorry, for some reason I just don't feel sorry for him. All-Stars don't deserve better treatment, if anything they are getting favoritism. As soon as they're treated like everybody else, I might care. http://www.thehockeynews.com/playoffs/article/penguins-expect-crosby-abuse-to-continue-but-they-re-growing-tired-of-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
