Series Thread: Blue Jackets vs Pens - or "the battle to end stupid seeding rules"

[forty_three]

Because let's face it, the only way to get the NHL to change the divisional seeding rules is for the Jackets to take the series and leave the NHL with hours of Crosby commercials they can't use.

My advice to the Jackets; WEAR EXTRA PADDING IN YOUR GLOVES! AND CUPS!




Realistically, we have no chance. For at least a dozen reason, no chance at all.

1 very good chance named Bobrovsky

7 long, intense, physical games please

(1) Likely Vezina winner in Bobrovsky
(2) Letang is out
(3) Malkin may be out or ailing
(4) LMAFO

Pens are the favorite, but I think that's four pretty good reasons for hope there. They are the defending champs, but they also went out in the first round in 3 of the last 5 years with injury situations less dire. Keep hope alive.

What is LMAFO????

What is LMAFO????

Laughing MAF Off.

Stuff like this. At least he didn't trip this time.

 

[forty_three]

I think this may have been the genesis of LMAFO

 

[dare2be]

I believe so.

And it was followed shortly by this:


And there you are. That is the entirety of my franchise's playoff highlights.

Have the refs gifted the Pens a power play or three yet?

Too soon?

A little too soon. Those penalties are all justified. I've never seen opposing teams use their own testicles as a weapon as often as they do to the Pens.

Rule for this series...Pens start every period on the PP and if they don't score they get consecutive PP's until they score.

Seriously though the longer this series goes the better for the Jackets.

Sadly, the real highlight is probably worse.

 

[obxyankeefan]

I don't find that one funny at all.

I thought for a second this might be real, and then I remembered Crosby can't grow a mustache.

Okay, here we go. Time to really analyze this puppy. Anagrammer 2000 (tm) WHAT SAY YOU

Sam Gagner: Manger Gas
Sergei Bobrovski : Bribe Groove Kiss (also Vigor Kebob Rises) (And Boobs Grieve Risk)
Zach Werenski : Race Ken's Whiz
Oliver Bjorkstrand : Lord's Vibrant Joker (Also Bald Tom Visor Jerk)
Seth Jones : He Jests, No.
And let's never forget that Cam Atkinson is Maniac Knots.



For the other side:
Tom Sestito : Smite Toots
Ron Hainsey : Ahoy Sinner (Also Any Heroins)
Brian Dumolin : Modular Nimbi (Also Rid Lamb Union)
Patrick Hornqvist : Iraq TV Pork Snitch
Trevor Daly : Tardy Lover (Sorry, Mrs Daly)
Bryan Rust - Runty Bras

I tried Nick Bonino, but it only responded BONINOBONINOBONINOBONINO, so I think it needs a nap.


This series could go 7.

Iraq TV Pork Snitch

I sense a new signature in my future.

Or maybe: Phil Kessel: Hell Spikes
