NHL 2018: When the AI GM is smarter than actual GMs...

Re: NHL 2018: When the AI GM is smarter than actual GMs...

As a fan of Russian hockey the best part about this is seeing Slava Malamud fall into full-on nuclear meltdown mode. His KHL RIGGED conspiracy theory fell apart twice ("RIGGED FOR SKA" - SKA lose in semis to CSKA - "I SAID CSKA WAS THE ONLY OTHER CHANCE" - CSKA loses final in five games) and the guy he constantly blames (and holds a grudge against) for him losing his credential wins the Cup

That was pretty dang cool to see Ovi, Backstrom, Oshie, Niskanen, et. al win their first Cup.

And for Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull and Rocket Richard, their last..

@NHLhistorygirl: If my math is right, the engravings for 1953-54 through 1964-65 are being hoisted for the last time. A final hurrah for Howe and the Rocket and many others.

The Leafs are on the clock!

That's a great historical context to bring up, joe. A chance to remember and honor past champs too.

Wait a minute... Ovechkin won the CUP???? Seriously thought I'd never see that happen. He was certainly excited. He seemed to scream more than most recent captains. Fun to watch though. I loved how long people were celebrating on the ice long after the buzzer, and then when the family joined they all still stayed out there. Love how hockey celebrates in front of their fans, up close.
 
I've been fortunate enough to go to two game 7's now. Neither has gone the way I wanted.

3 game 7's (2 NHL, 1 ECHL). 0-3. Sigh.

Everblades lost on a shorthanded goal with 2:30 to go. Brutal. Possibly controversial no-goal call on a possible Everblades goal late in the 2nd doesn't help matters. Light came on, but ECHL doesn't have overhead cameras for some unknown reason and they declared it no goal.

Ovie's going to learn a huge parade sucks when you're hung over from a 4 day bender.

Just another Russian connection in the trump administration. Mueller has already added this picture to the stack of evidence. :D
