One or two excuses & probably quite limited! The "ah fuck, here we go again" playoff thread

[trujaysfan]

​

Nylander out and Reaves in brings our Athletic Net Rating from +44 to +18.

i.e. we are now just plain bad.

We all know a leaf is getting suspended after today's game. I figured it would be domi but maybe Reaves can take that role

 

[mbow30]

lol, bullshit.

Yup

 

[MindzEye]

Yup

Willy has been visibly shit for a few weeks now. The reflex reaction of the angry uncle from vaughan gang is to question a player's will, desire, and all that shit they pretend that they would have mounds of if they were in that position, the truth is usually that they're playing through an injury.

They let Willy chase 100 points despite not being 100%, full stop.

 

[zeke]

who's gonna do the gamethread

 

[MindzEye]

We all suck historically at it....I think I'm like 0 for 3 or some shit. I'd make a never again joke about Mbow, but that would be insensitive. And you...jesus christ. No.

 

[zeke]

too late.

you're all pussies.

 

[mbow30]

I should have. My gdts were very successful.

LOF should start the game threads when they're facing elimination. Just so we have something to laugh about as 50% of the forum are confused about there not being a game thread. We'll need laughter.

I don’t get chasing 100 points when you’re 28 and already secured your dream bag that extends way past 30

 

[Preston]

The other possibility is that he was playing with something, kept it secret because he was chasing 100 and didn't want to sit out, and aggravated it in the final game to the point where he needs an extended rest.

In any event, he didn't just randomly wake up with something.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Oops Fred can't find the puck NYI tie things up.

 

[Volcanologist]

just saw the replay, classic Fred goal

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

well if he's injured then why the fuck did he play all 82 games?

clowns.

Probably pulled something while trying to get Matthews the puck.
