Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

agreed, but regardless, SJ can't close the deal.

 

Game 7 here we come

 

LA is changing the odds exponentially

 

Refs have made some very significant bad calls in the past few games.

 

Should have let Quick get involved and get his ass kicked

 

Thornton missed his chance to flatten him out

 

Would have been nice to see that. really fucking annoying when a goalie tries to get into the fray.

 

They should be fair game for abuse if they jump in

 

In fact, only 3 times in 175 tries (1.7%) has a team comeback to win a series down 3-0 in the playoffs. The Toronto Maple Leafs were the first to turn the trick, doing so in the 1942 Stanley Cup Final against the Detroit Red Wings. The New York Islanders followed 33 years later in their franchise first playoff run, catching the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1975 Quarterfinals. Finally, the Philadelphia Flyers did it 35 years after that beating the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Eastern Conference Final.

Cool. I would be curious to know many times has a team down 3-0 in series has come back to force a game 7, but still lose.

EDIT : According to the Puck Report, the odds(based on history) are still fairly heavily in the Sharks favour(which is hard to believe considering how heavily the momentum moves with the Kings)

 

Kings are 9th team to force a game 7 so I would say 6 times

 

Fully agreed, if thornton had taken quick out things would have gotten crazy, but DBs like him need to be taught.

Judging by the play of the sharks one more might be going on that list

 

109 of 175 times (62%), leading teams took the series in Game 4. Of the 66 teams that have survived a sweep, only 8 (12%) lived to skate in a Game 7.

So 5/8 when forcing game 7 after being down 3-0.

 

exactly. The historical odds are still favouring the Sharks.

The Sharks will need to come out big in game 7

 

and down to only one game tomorrow...

 

The series nobody cares about

 

my very first hockey game was watching the LA Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. They went into overtime and eventually into a shoot out. All they did for the first period was fight. So it was a great experience!

I went to UND and dated a female hockey player, so I watched quite a bit of hockey there. Just thought you all would like to know

 

BOOOOO YAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO KINGS GO
