bill0755 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 So from our esteem group of hockey experts, who wins game 7 tonight. For me, as you all know I am a Pens fan so with a lot of biased, I MUST root for the Lightening to strike in Game 7. That would move two XPens, Kunitz for Cup #5 and Fluery for Cup #4 to three peat for the Cup. Know own there are a lot of Ovy sympathy for him to finally advance to win a Cup, sorry but I am not one of them. Let’s go Lightening!!!!!!

Dougall Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Does it matter? Vegas wins the cup final. All I care about is that I'll be in Vegas for the cup finals and potentially going to a game. Exciting and unpredictable times!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raken65 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm pulling for Washington but I think Tampa wins a close low scoring game ,got a 3-1 kinda feel to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenboards Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Going with Tampa, 4-2. That means if you're betting, pick Washington as I am never correct! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegDunlop Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think it'll be Tampa given their experience in clutch games over the years (and Washington's). But go Caps go! I hope this is Ovie's year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigmund Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I don't mind as long as the winner beat Vegas. Hoping for an exciting game. Slight advantage to TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Holtby has another incredible game and Washington keeps pounding and skating. I believe Washington will play like there is no tomorrow and will overwhelm Tampa. Washington's achilles heal, penalties, but Holtby will be Washington's savoir.

djb738 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think Tampa got a little embarrassed last game as Washington was much more physical than they were. That changes this game and Tampa wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Different era 3 goal games s 7 goal game era 291goal shy ov gretzky ( 2 lockouts = 90g) so were talking 200goal shy of all time leader at 32 years old Life time goal pace 0.6 .. 333game to go over the great one or 4 seasons ..

James Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just a look at what's on the line tonight for the Tin Cup Series... Only 3 people still have a shot at winning the overall title... Ralphdog, Salros, and me. If Tampa wins tonight, Ralphdog wins the Tin Cup Series. If Washington wins tonight but loses the Finals... Ralphdog and I will tie for the title. If Washington wins the Cup, Salros will win the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegDunlop Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Bah! I'd like to see Ovechkin against 5'8' goalies with tiny pads you only see in atom hockey today, trying to make "skate saves" because the butterfly style doesn't exist yet. He would have destroyed Bossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originaljroc Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 20 minutes ago, Ralphdog said: I was thinking the same thing The numbers would seem to indicate otherwise. Different eras because the goalies are so much better now, so there's no way Ovechkin would score as many goals per season. However, while not a perfect correlation*, I think the most accurate comparison we can make between stats is if you examine the amount of shots on goal they've recorded (today's goalies stop way more than the tenders in the '80s). Bossy had 2709 shots in 752 NHL regular season games (3.60 per game). Ovechkin has 4896 shots in 1003 NHL regular season games (4.88 per game). * Was Bossy just more accurate or was there just more net to shoot at because the goalies had smaller equipment and didn't play the butterfly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0755 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Wellllll.....that’s not the start that TB was hoping for......still a lot of time left, but I can never understand the reason to continue to leave Ovy wide open for one timers. Honestly sure Vasy would like to have that one back as no screen and almost from the blue line...OUCH, that one hurt. If your in the states and listen to NBC, they sure do love the Caps and assume all hoping for Ovy in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) i also like this stat bossy best season 68 goal out of 358 for the complete team ovechkin bedt season 65 out of 225 for the complete team, ovi tends to score 1/3 of his team goal while bossy was scoring at a 1/5 of his team. lets just drop it bossy was a beeeeeaaaasssssstt. but ovi is a god Edited May 24, 2018 by Vegeta 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) in that 78-79season. 5 goalie were under 3.00 gaa, in 2007-2008 67 goalies , yes 67 dryden was the best at 2.30 22 goalie were under that in 07-08 Edited May 24, 2018 by Vegeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Caps are finally doing it! As for greatest scorer debate, hockey reference's stats adjusted for era support the Ovie side I think: https://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/goals_adjusted_career.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
