Popular Post IBatch Posted June 25 Popular Post Share Posted June 25 1 minute ago, tas said: of course I can have it both ways. getting your name on the cup makes you an immortal. winning the smythe is the cherry on top of the sundae, and if you didn't get the sundae, you sure as hell don't give a damn about the cherry. Got it wrong. McDavid was told he'd get a sundae. Was told his whole life. Instead he got a nice twist ice cream cone. Instead of graciously accepting, decided it didn't matter and left the dairy Queen. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder they can graciously accept silver and bronze medals standing on tiers that are physically lower than the gold medal winner. /sarcasm 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care two shits about that. It's his annoying sideways glances at the refs, and whining when nothing penalty worthy happened. Did you not watch the playoffs? Get some is ok as a tactic and game play. He takes it to another level. QHs was getting abused and didn't once do this. In the NSH and the EDM series, this came up from the announcers. And the eye balls work well enough still to get it. So does the grey matter. Gretzky did this, but was modest and fair about it, got his hackles up when it was deserved otherwise did nothing. And he never feasted on the PP either. Did it 5 x 5. Or 4 x 4 until they decided to get rid of that because they were way too good.

Popular Post HKSR Posted June 25 Popular Post Share Posted June 25 Oh look! There's teams in Olympics too! Can you believe those people standing on the lower steps of the medal podium? What were they thinking? They should be ashamed of themselves for graciously accepting defeat after working their entire lives to get to that spot. Get outta there! Get into the dressing rooms and mope and cry with each other instead. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait in another four years to see what you will have to say. Actually more like two decades. If i'm still alive. Come one man, McDavid and Draisaitl sullied themselves all playoffs. In various ways. What did he really do? Nothing extraordinary. Skated fast on the perimeter. Had way less memorable goals than so many guys, including Canuck's in the past. The media hyped him up. That's what I saw anyways, at least I watched Mark Messier tell it like it was last night; and that says a lot. The SN feed was terrible this post season. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their core of McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard, Ekholm, and Hyman are all intact. They're gonna get more shots at this. It's not like they're gonna fall apart overnight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure what he did do, was go back into the dressing room and tell the guys he's proud of them and that they'd win next season. Right? Doubt there was a Messier moment like when he left the shower to watch the TV and see the NYI saying that they "Won on character" then snapping his towel at the TV and vowing never to lose to them again. Instead he's looking for his sundae with the cherry on top according to Tas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coho8888 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 1 hour ago, HKSR said: It's not an opinion when it comes to a trophy being presented and the guy didn't come and accept it in front of the entire hockey world. THAT is a fact. I think you need to go and blow McDavid some more because clearly you can't see how bad it looks for the "Face of the NHL" to snub a trophy that has been admired for generations. Way to be a classy role model for kids watching the game. There’s a reason why they bring out the conn smythe to be presented “regardless” of whether the winner is from the winning team or not. If it’s customary for the winner to be from the losing team to not accept the award in person then why would they continue to put it out on the table? The expectation is for the player to come out and accept the award regardless. Not coming out was the wrong move no matter what the excuse was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We battered the hell out of them that series. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been playing with it for a good length of time throughout the regular season Looking at his numbers, he took nearly 90 fewer shots this season than last season, he only took 263, even two seasons ago he broke 300 The last time he played 75+ games and took fewer shots was him taking 240 back in 2018-2019 Yeah, he hit 100 assists and very much focused more on passing the puck this season, but I wonder if if that was partially impacted by his having a tougher time shooting the puck, I can't imagine having an abdominal injury would help shooting all that much https://www.quanthockey.com/hockey-stats-nhl/en/profile.php?player=23497 That changed a bit come playoff time, he put up 75 shots in 26 games, but it's the playoffs Edited June 25 by Coconuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
