Series Thread: TkSecond Round: Pittsburgh Penguins v. Washington Capitals

[Darkstone42]

Kessel looks off for one simple and obvious reason: it's a very different experience playing with Sheahan and Simon than Malkin and Hagelin.

The goal was disallowed because of the parallax angle, but if we're going to throw out angels because of math, then we should be using math to incorporate other information to infer whether plays were goals or not. The puck was traveling from in the net to ourlt of the net when the parallax still was taken, so you know it was farther on the net than that immediately before. It could be confidently inferred it was a goal. But from an internal consistency perspective, use all the math and geometry, and use it quantitatively, not just some of it.

Boo fucking hoo - whiniest fanbase in sports. Go cry on the shoulder of your fat wife.

How'd you know I have a fat wife?!!!

Tied 1-1...pens have home ice advantage in the series. Worked for them in the regular season but not so well in the playoffs.

Kessel looks off because he's playing scared. Wanting to rid himself of the puck as soon as possible in 5 on 5 situations. His passing and puck possession have been bad these playoffs. I hope he snaps out of it.

Good game by the Caps. Can't wait until Tuesday.

Would that I could, but alas I am hopelessly and also predictably single, and women of every conceivable sort don't want to talk to me.

But seriously, the review process was correctly applied according to the league's review standards. But we've all known for a while those standards and that process are crap.

Did I do that comeback thing right? You're supposed to respond to an insult by also insulting yourself, correct? I'm very good at trash talk.

Oh captain after the fact has shown uo

Also, I'm excusing my angles to angels typo because my computer is out for repairs, and my phone has to just guess what my fat fingers are trying to type, and it's not always right.

It took me three tries to tap the funny reaction, but I got there.

Usually I find that autocorrect improves my ports.

Totally agree. Good post, D'stone.

Related math... 2 was still not equal to 3. (Yes, I understand it changes the game, strategy, etc.)

 

[dare2be]

I don't use autocorrect. It's too automatically correct for my tastes.

 

[elocomotive]

The bad news for the Caps is they've been the stronger team through 2 games and the series is still only tied 1-1.

The good news for the Caps is they aren't up the dreaded 2-0!

That ship has sailed comeds.

We are pretty whiny. So much winning over the years, losing is a pretty weird feeling.

I guess you've just hit acceptance, at this point?
