Well, they made it into the Eastern Conference Final. Nice comeback.

Still not a good team. The Caps collapse again. :P

The West is just so much better than the East. The fact that LA missed the playoffs despite being one of the best teams on paper shows the depth in the West. I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of Anaheim vs. Chicago sweeps the Stanley Cup Final.

I hate caring about the outcome of a playoff game that goes to OT. At least we won. Bring on Tampa.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick game.

Thought Kreider would be the one to score the game winner.  Got the wrong player but the right line.

I have always liked Ovi (except when he plays against the Rangers) and hope he wins The Cup some day.

Bring on TB!

pt - the only thing worse in hockey than the on ice officials are the announcers on the NBCSN.  I'm not sure who I dislike more, Emrick or Pierre.  They're just terrible.

So disappointing. Time for the "Russians have no heart and Ovechkin is a bad leader" talk ;-)

So glorious!

FTFY :beer:

Yeah, he'll likely get condemned for his play in games 5 & 6 rather than game 7.  It's too bad, too, because he wasn't the reason the Caps weren't able to beat the Rangers, IMO.

The money the Leafs just gave Babcock is borderline insanity.

Not really. The best coach in hockey should be making that much money.

What makes him the best coach in hockey? Is it that Stellar play off record he has, or the 1 cup he won with a loaded team?

Hype, and lots of it, plus a general consensus of people who probably didn't evaluate the criteria objectively enough.

If he turns the Leafs around, I might buy it. I don't mean a single lucky playoff appearance sandwiched between years of futility, either. I'm talking sustained long-term improvement. Maybe five successful years out of his eight.

Franchises that go bad for long periods of time, change coaches like we change socks. I have a good impression of Babcock, but the Leafys just got some real expensive socks. The GM position is more important in my opinion.

It really seems like a funny thing to hire the coach before the GM. Maybe we can get a hockey version of the Odd Couple and the silly show can continue for a few more years.

The Rangers are the fastest team in the NHL. I don't even think it's close.

When they got that stretch passing game going, NYR is tough. Going to make a real effort to clear the docket and watch the game tomorrow.

Rangers just love playing with their backs against the wall.

Let's see what they do tonight.

Yeah, "we have them right where we want them"

Get it to game 7 and let Hank do his thang. It'd sting a bit to be beaten by Rangers/B.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
