Series Thread: Dallas(1) vs St. Louis (2)

[forty_three]

Caman 43, how else are we going to meet the Jackets in the 2020 Stanley Cup finals?

I was hoping to meet in 2017.

And to answer your question "Get a goalie". And to answer the same question for me "Get a center".

Spezza!! And we have a goalie change.

Question is, is it permanent? Does Jake the Snake open up game 7?

JayBlow a tire...

Roenick actually said something funny. He was describing what was happening and he said "after the sniper takes out Bouwmeester, Spezza was able to walk right in"

Gotta go back to Elliott, gotta dance with the one who brought you this far.

I agree 100% But Captain Kangaroo has a tendency to do really stupid things.

Like hitching your wagon to Brian Elliott? The guy can't keep it together as a true starter for more than a month. He's a platoon guy or, ideally, a great backup.

The Blues still have the advantage in net with Elliott over Kari Lehtonen, though. Hopefully, Russell and the Stars can get one more win and turn that 2nd round pick into a 1st rounder.

I can respect your desire for another 1st round pick dash, but have you forgotten the rules of Hoop Club?

1. You do not talk about Hoop Club.

2. FUCK DALLAS!!!

Was shocked that Dallas hung on last night, but over the moon that they did. Thought they got outplayed, but it doesn't matter.

The more I watch the Blues, to more I dislike them and they KFC looking coach.

Hitch wouldn't be dumb enough to start Allen, would he?

Not a chance, the leash is a bit shorter (as it is in every game 7), but Elliott will be starting.

Played in more playoff games than the guy Ottawa replaced him with though.

Just curious if you'd make the same argument about Craig Anderson. His and Elliot's career numbers are rather similar.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, or Kari Let-one-in making 33 saves.

I think you may need to evaluate further since you called a StL sweep.

Craig Anderson has actually stolen series before and come close several other times. His career SV% in the playoffs is 0.933. Elliott's is 0.911. Elliott has played for one of the best defensive coaches ever. Craig Anderson has, well I can let a Leafs' fan fill in the rest of that one.

Yes, Elliott has played more games than Anderson in the playoffs but let's exclude this year and the data isn't really close.

Anderson 27 GP 12 W 14 L 2.35 GAA 0.933 SV% 3 SO
Ellliott 19 GP 6 W 10 L 2.54 GAA 0.897 SV% 0 SO

Even with this year's stats included I'd still prefer Anderson, and that's not even considering the fact that Elliott plays for Hitch and Anderson has had a clown car of coaches.

If you remove Elliott's outlier of a year he looks downright awful.

So no, I wouldn't say the same about Anderson. He's been a good starter and a beast in the playoffs.

Annnnd far as I can tell only 5 people had this as a 7 gamer so I apologize on behalf of us all for not being able to see the future

How many said they would be eviscerated and in 4?

 

[postmaster]

At least it isn't as bad as saying Holtby was a bum and a sieve going into the last playoffs. That may never be topped.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

THopefully, Russell and the Stars can get one more win and turn that 2nd round pick into a 1st rounder.

fify

hey maybe it will be a double victory ... the first rounder and new Flames head coach Ken Hitchcock

 

[dash]

Likely just gamesmanship, I doubt Seguin plays tomorrow night.

Two, I believe. Point?

Didn't know there were degrees of wrongness when picking out a playoff series lol.
