IanRees Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Dude the officiating in this ducks lighting game is horrific. 4 embellishment calls and we're not even in the 3rd period. One dude fell onto the puck and got a pentalty for closing his hand!the embellishment call on brown last night was bad too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalatapes Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'd love to help out but I'm on my phone right now and the NHL & hockey in General is a far more complex team sport to compare it to the nba in my opinion. More often than not teams that rely on speed sacrifice a lot of d so they end up not being a good team ie the Oilers. One team that does successfully blend speed and solid defense are the Blackhawks through. A majority of the top teams in the league rely on a solid foundation of defense ie the bruins, kings, hawks, blues etc. As far as marquee player you're looking at Crosby, Ovechkin, stamkos, malkin but really almost every team has some sort of "superstar", just depends on what you like. For me I like a complete player so I like players like Kopitar and datsyuk who may not put up a ton of points but are also great defensive guys. A couple really good blogs on hockey are the puckdaddy blog on yahoo and backhand shelf on the score which could help you understand the league & players as well as the game in general. There is sooooo much more to the sport though that in sure others can eleberate more on. Thanks! Will check those blogs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifworkpermits Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 the embellishment call on brown last night was bad too That's what my brother (Kings fan) told me. I know bad calls happen, and the calls in this game weren't just bad against the ducks... They were horrible all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I had to remind kings fans that you guys have Amanda Bynes, the end. In their defense she lives in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thanks! Will check those blogs outIn terms of gameplay I'd say just learn what constitutes offsides and icing, those are the two major things that will stop play and/or effect how certain plays develop. The key to learning is just watching and the key to watching is having a reason. Pick a team to follow and just jump in, hockey is super fun to watch but nice to have a little bit of an "emotional" investment in a certain team. I'd say the Bruins becaus they are good AND fun to watch. But that is obviously a super biased opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 HOW THE FUCK IS DEL ZOTTO SO TERRIBLE?! HOW?! ITS A POWER PLAY, NOT ONLY DOES HE GIVE GAUSTAD A BREAK AWAY, HE THEN JUST THROWS THE PUCK IN THE SLOT WHERE NO ONE IS FOR FISHER TO JUST TAKE A SLAPPER ON TALBOT. REALLY DUDE?!

ITS A POWER PLAY, NOT ONLY DOES HE GIVE GAUSTAD A BREAK AWAY, HE THEN JUST THROWS THE PUCK IN THE SLOT WHERE NO ONE IS FOR FISHER TO JUST TAKE A SLAPPER ON HANK. REALLY DUDE?! Just hope that the only reason he's in the lineup is for teams scouting to make a trade, although this could hurt the cause more than help it.

bizarospeak Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My patience for Del Zotto officially hit rock bottom last night. It's like he's un-learning the game. At this point I'd take a 4th liner and an AHL defenseman for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 More often than not teams that rely on speed sacrifice a lot of d so they end up not being a good team ie the Oilers. we don't sacrifice defence for speed, we just don't have any defence whatsoever. scary thought when your best defenceman is jeff petry, who most of you have probably never heard of.

kylekrische Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ferrence is your best D Man by a long shot. And he was at his best the #4 in Boston. That's scary. Nurse is dope though and with some good moves shit could straighten out for EDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petry has been, surprisingly far and away our best D man all year. Klefbomb and Nurse, by the looks of it will be NHL ready next year. Nurse, maybe not since he's only 18, but by the way he played in camp and is playing in junior things are looking good. That is the only reason Smid was moved.

KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Down 2-0 in the first, what does Del Zotto do? Takes an undisciplined penalty. Classic Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Michael. this made me think of you The LVP (Least Valuable Player)Michael Del Zotto – D – 40% Owned You poor, poor souls clinging to Del Zotto. What a curse it must be to be blind to his particular brand of awful. You know who isn’t blind to it? Alain Vigneault. Vigneault had Del Zotto start the week in the press box and in his first game back he didn’t sniff a second of power play time. That power play time returned in his second game but the reality is that he hasn’t worked on the power play for some time now and what success the Rangers have had has occurred largely without him. Del Zotto has that Marc-Andre Bergeron stink to him. He’s a power play specialist who isn’t always special. Your only hope as a Del Zotto owner is a trade to more favourable circumstances. Don’t hold your breath. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-fantasy-hockey-evgeni-malkin-mvp-michael-del-211613346--nhl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckingPowers Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hank played like shit tonight. Im all about having a backup to rest your starter, but Hank needs to play as much as he can. He's a guy that just gets rusty after some time off. He's notorious for it. However the D also played like shit. #TRADEHISASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 WTF Leafs? These are the games they're going to need if they want any chance at home ice (assuming they get back to the playoffs). Give up 50 (yes 50) shots on Saturday night and somehow get a 2-1 shootout win. 22 shots against tonight and get killed 6-0. Brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
