The Ditch part deux

Unbelievable start to these 2019 Playoffs... Crazy!

 

Id bang his mom and one sister and maybe his brother but definitely not the other sister because she looks too much like him.

Matty would be a bottom for rat face bastard.

 

Looks like all the teams I picked to win their series will be starting 0-1 after day one.

 

A power bottom.

Fingers crossed he doesn’t lick or kiss anyone this year.

 

Heiskenen is a stud. Probably good for him that he’ll be able to develop in relative anonymity in Dallas.

 

I believe he was Kronwalled, no, Boiled, lol.

 

First round is overwhelming, so many series at once. I was so distracted that I missed the Stars game, big sleeper pick there.

 

That's a huge steal on the road for Toronto.

 

Mike Smith = hero of game 1.

Carolina, stay out of the penalty box, or else...

 

The Canes were outshooting the Caps the whole game, looks like goaltending was the difference.

 

Ive watched Carolina all season and that's their MO, they out-shoot everybody they play and, iirc, lead the NHL in that category.

They showed me last night that if they play smarter and stay out of the Box, they could steal a series. They had better control the puck and be disciplined or the Capitals will hand them their hats.

Yep, they outshoot teams by limiting their shots with the defense.

 

It's interesting to go on the other teams twitter feeds and read the fans comments after a loss, all fans sound the same.

 

I should know better, I should know better, I should know better...

What the motherf*** are you talking about?

You're alleging that a team leads the NHL in shots on goal because their defense limits other teams' shots?

 

They lead the league in shot differential, lol.

 

And shots on goal. They shoot the puck more than any other team.

Will, I might've misunderstood you - I thought you were talking about season shots for, not shot differential.

 

I'm talking about having more shots than the other team by the end of the game. Even if they end up getting 27 shots, the defense will limit the other team to 22 and they'll have outshot them. They aren't outshooting teams 45-40, it's more like 29-22.
