unclevlad Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hockey players are nutjobs. Rangers playing Carolina. Rangers have the puck in the offensive end. One of the defensemen tries to knock the puck away, but, lunging, starts falling forward...as the player with the puck tries a shot on goal. The shooter's stick, on the follow-through, doesn't get up high or anything...but smacks the falling defenseman in the mouth. OWWWWWWWWWWWW.............................. The defenseman is down for...15, 20 seconds? while the play goes on around him, before the puck's held by the goalie. Short pause while the blood on the ice gets cleaned up. Cue the dentist on call.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 And in the other game tonight, Edmonton made the Conference Finals by putting away archenemy Calgary in overtime. I think this is the first time in the Connor McDavid era the Oilers have reached the conference finals. No Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since the 1992-93 Montreal Canadiens.

unclevlad Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Lacrosse Final Four weekend. Semis today...Cornell vs. Rutgers, with Cornell up 8-3 at half. After that, Maryland vs. Princeton. Championship game is Monday Lacrosse is one of the coolest games to watch...like hockey in some ways, but the players can maneuver in more ways, the ball's much easier to control than a puck, and shots can be taken from any angle...high or low. Flip shots over the shoulder. Shots can be bounced. Tells ya something that elite goaltenders have save percentages in the 60s. EDIT: over a 3 hour delay for weather. The *second* semi should be over, but Cornell-Rutgers just started the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're going to be notably more worn down than Tampa Bay. Game 7 is tomorrow night; I believe game 1 of the finals is Wednesday. (The WC finals start Tuesday, and the NHL generally does every other day.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Sounders won their game against Charlotte, though at time they seemed determined to lose. Brings them up to 10th in the West at 16 points. May sound a bit grim, but then they have only played 12 games this season with most of the league at 14. After the Puma game (where they won 3-0) they had three days to roll right into a match against Dallas for a loss. But after a rest and a return to a regular schedule they seem to be getting back into form winning three of the last four games. Last night was a bit troubling, but still a win. They will have a good two weeks until the next match, but that will be in a string of games that have three or four days between games again before settling to one a week. But being able to concentrate on a single league schedule instead of three should allow them to regain ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 When you skate on thin ice, sometimes it breaks. It's all over but the crying. Carolina's 7 game home win streak...paired with their 6 game road losing streak...made the ice pretty thin. 3-0 at the end of 2. RANGERS. 4-0 a few minutes in. Power play for Carolina made it 4-1 with 12 minutes left, and ignited *some* optimism..... Until 40 seconds later when the Rangers picked off another aggressive pass, and made it 5-1. With under 9 minutes...it's more likely, IMO, to get worse than get closer. Carolina has to try pulling the goalie SOON to have any chance, EDIT: and it's over. Carolina coach is likely to face questions; he didn't pull the goalie until almost the 3 minute mark. Yeah, Hurricane scratched out a goal at around the 5 minute mark but....so what? Of course, the more likely event with a pulled goalie is...an empty net goal. Yep. 6-2 Rangers. On to the conference finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 A French Open quarter final match for the ages. Djokovic vs. Nadal. First time ever where both players in a match have 20+ Slams, 1000+ Tour-level or Slam match wins, and 300+ Slam match wins. Federer has the most GS match wins at 363; Djokovic is at 325, and Nadal broke 300 earlier in the tournament. Among the men? The next best is Jimmy Connors, at 233. Some of this that tennis was acrimonious in Connors' day. He never played the French. And travel: he only played the Aussie twice. That wasn't that unusual back then. I'm not sure, tho, that anyone will pull off numbers like the big three. No one right now shows the consistency they've had. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 And EPIC it was. 6-2, 4-6 (in 88 minutes!!!), 6-2, 7-6 FOR RAFA!!!!! Didn't expect it. Rafa was up 6-2, 3-0, then lost 6 of 7. Figured...ok, that might be it...but came back and played brilliantly in the 3rd. 4th was a slugfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Edmonton's goalie is gonna get ripped...less than halfway through the second, it's 6-3 Avs. BUT Colorado's got 25 shots on goal in 27 minutes. Last goal came after Colorado kept it in the offensive zone, pushing at the net 3, 4, 5 times until a screened shot from the top got through. Colorado offense is a step and a half ahead of the Edmonton defense. Not like Colorado's defense has been particularly sterling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 So, that game was Colora_o vs E_monton ... because there was clearly no D on the ice tonight. You have to feel bad for the Oilers. Normally if you score six goals in a playoff game, you'd have to feel really good about your chances. Having said that ... Go Avs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
