/hoc/: 12 shots, 5 Goals edition

SCF game 2 Wednesday at 8 EST

Pens steal game 1 after going shot less for 37 minutes

NHL.com

1st for fuck the Predditors and their retarded Drumpf supporting fanbase

Not gonna lie, game 1 has me a tad spooked,lads.

42 WHOLE YEARS

>.636
>Finnish goaltending

Penguins will adjust. They ended up being fine in the first. They just fucking shell up when they get big leads like that in beginning of games

Sup????

That game was fucking bullshit. Preds deserved to win but if it went for meme goals and refs.

Pittsburgh is over stacked with shooters like the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015.

Preds won't make it out alive. Any other team they would have faced last night would have went into OT with preds winning. Pittsburgh came back fast as fuck and shut em down.

i thought memes were suppose to be on the preds side?

...

Friendly reminder that the Predditors had NO FANS before 2017

will he suffer from pstd?

I give ZERO (0) fucks.

Friendly reminder that the pongs had no fans from 2010 thru 2016

Preds went 3-0 after the catfish.

then how did they lose a tied game

>Juuse Saros
>HEIGHT 178 cm / 5'10"
What the fuck? Is he finnish Marty Turco?

no they did not

Holy shit the preds face a bit of adversity fir the first time these playoffs and go full whiny bitch mode. Was rooting for them but I think I'll root for the Pens now.

3-2* (when initially down by 3)

friendly reminder that the preds are the good guys

Reminder the Preds are the good guys and /hoc/ has always been a pro-Preds board

kek

>Holy shit the preds face a bit of adversity
>a bit

>a wrong offside call that got a goal disallowed
>a wrong penalty call that led to a 5v3 where bettguins scored
>Crosby gets away with a dirty hit, bettguins immediately score

>Goal 19:43 1st
>not another shot till 16:43 3rd
>another goal
finnish goaltending at its finest

>take traditions from other hockey teams
>good guys

Literally fucking reddit

Do you guys not know what a streak is?

>manlets even once

Literally fucking SEETHING

>Do you guys not know what a streak is?
but they went 3-2 after the catfish

is this the power of common core?

>Crosgod takes that same hit 50 times a game
>"oh man these guys are playing great physical defense against crosby"
>Crosgod gives them a taste of their own medicine
>"REEEEEEEEEEEEEE DIRTY DIRTY BETTGUINS"

Kek

Friendly reminder that the Predditors are a dirty diving refpuck relying team and will lose to the Pongs

>wrong call was actually the right call

You are absolutely seething right now.

>t-the preds scored 3 goals in a row!!
>OK but then they let in 2 and lost the game
>i-it doesn't count!!

Fucking kek

has there ever been a hockey game, nay a sporting event of ANY kind where the losing team's fans didn't blame the refs?

>it was offsides.
>calls evened out
>missed a 4 minute high stick in 3rd when rust lost some teeth.
>slight interference that happens ever other play is somehow dirty.

which call are you referring to? the offside where the player's skate was on the neutral ice, or the world's lightest check?

Does anybody have a webm of that Aberg/Subban offsides?

The offsides call where the player had one foot on the ice.

The penalty from Neal and his shitty discipline.

Preds scored two goals on two pretty soft calls. That was NOT roughing on Cole. Subban sold that slash.

What was the other penalty? Neal's was legit but the second penalty I just didn't see

Coming back from a three goal deficit is an accomplishment, even if they eventually lost.

>predditors score 2/3 of goals on PP
>REFPUCK!!!!!!


Ahahaha literally the shorks from last year. Pens in 5

THAT POOR BOI DINDU NUFFIN
FUCKING RACIST

you could come back from a 10 goal deficit but if you don't win it doesn't mean shit.

Preds are a Tennessee sports team. Moral victories are the only kind they have.

Why the FUCK is there a day in between each game? Are hockey players pussies or something?

yes

>Why the FUCK is there a day in between each game?
what sport doesn't? NBA even has two day gaps between some games

Maybe if you don't care about the game.

Preds deserved to lose to ducks tho. Cant support one without supporting the other

desu buttman is just trying to get as many cups for Crosby as possible before he inevitably retires early due to mashed-potato brains

Tfw subban is the one to finish crosby off

Do people actually believe that games are fixed? How big of a tin foil hat do you have to have?

mlb is only a break when going between stadiums
that being said its boreball

>Do people actually believe that games are fixed?
did you not watch last game?

baseball's pretty low intensity, hardly counts

Mlb is only physically taxing on pitchers

>did you not watch last game?
how can someone be mad at conclusive video replay
lmao

The other was Calle Jarnkrok for interference.

No they didn't the ducks are bad guys and goons. Reddit said so too.

And catchers.

To a much lower extent though.

"""""""conclusive""""""""

>how can someone be mad at conclusive video replay
>implying refs have never made mistakes before
really made me think

Then the preds didnt deserve to win last night either.

>mad at video evidence
the refs did make a mistake, it was corrected by bettman's team

Penguins are the luckiest team in the universe caps should have beat them in 5

Nothing about last nights game shows that it was fixed. The offsides it was offsides. Foot was lifted off the ice before he had control of the puck. If it was rigged for the Pens they wouldn't have called Cole for that weak roughing call, and they would've called the Preds for a 4min double minor when Rust had teeth knocked out from a high stick.

Honestly it's pretty impressive what Sullivan has done. No one could keep up with them last year. All cycling, high possession play. This year it's opposite. Outshot in like every game. Beating teams off the rush. Goalies have played great and are well insulated. All with Ron Hainsey and Brian Dumoulin as your top defenseman. Pretty wild.

>Honestly it's pretty impressive what Sullivan has done.
coaching a team with 2 number 1 centremen has to be the easiest task in the league
sorry
back when they have 3 number 1 centremen was easier, figures shittsburgh is the only spot american coaching can win

mad retard

>hurr its so easy
>literally got bounced by the >rags in the first round two years in a row before Sullivan

Dumoulin has actually been pretty solid desu.

Staal is not a 1c.

Very salty about the all american coach final? Tell me about how ELITE conor sheary, bryan rust, carter rowney, jake guentzel, scott wilson, and josh archibald are. Also the insanely talented defense pairings of daley-maatta, dumoulin-hainsey, and cole-schultz

nice retort burger
Bylsma was exposed as the fraud he is

>burger
>shittsburgh
you are so mad right now

Bylsma was only the coach for one of those years, the other was Johnston.

But the pangs were fucking garbage until Sullivan took over. Mike Johnston had a pretty elite team and couldn't do shit.

that's because canadians don't know anything about hockey

AV is an elite coach, johnston just some maritime trash who couldnt even make it in the CHL

>i-its so easy anyone can do it
>n-not that guy, he's a fraud!!

Epic

are you really suggesting that the pongs should have won every championship since drafting malkin because i said they are the easist team to coach?

The pongs hadn't even been close to sniffing the final until Sullivan came

almost as if there is more to winning a championship than who is coaching

Almost as if the point was that he took a championship winning team, almost completely changed how they played, and is three games away from winning another championship without his number one defense and a shit ton of injuries.

Christ, you're thick.

By your logic no coach should ever get credit ever. Christ you're a faggot

no coach who is choosing between rolling out crosby or malkin should get credit
so i guess we agree about something

Right, so it's just Crosby and Malkin that make the team. I guess we should just disregard Olczyk, Therrien, Bylsma and Johnston.

Holy shit move the goal posts harder

>h-he has Crosby and Malkin!!
>OK so did mike Johnston and bylsma
>t-they dont count!

The mental gymnastics here

see

all a coach does is make lines

How do we get kippers to post butt again?

The Preds are fucked if Rinne doesn't get his shit together. They played solid hockey unlike the Sharks last year.

Chinese medicine

Yes actually. Maybe not every year but certainly more than 2 final appearances The penguins always lost to very mediocre lower seeds. Not teams that really should have beat them at all. Boston is really the only team that genuinly felt a lot better than them

go back over 5 years to when Sup Forums was still smaller and every post didn't end up on reddit and /hoc/ was a ton of tripfags that were friends

guess we should ignore that crosby and malkin were ever injured
but by your logic sullivan would have made the finals without them

Pay her?
