13 incredible facts about Rays' historic 13-0 start
 

https://www.mlb.com/news/rays-2023-winning-streak-facts-and-figures

 

 

After finishing off a sweep of the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon, the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays are now 13-0 to start the season. That’s tied for the longest win streak to start a year since the 1982 Braves and the 1987 Brewers. It is, however, not the longest streak to ever begin a Major League season.

 

That record, at 20-0, belongs to Buttercup Dickerson, Sleeper Sullivan and the 1884 St. Louis Maroons.

 

Although that last sentence sounds like if the Seven Dwarves had a slow-pitch softball team, the Maroons were very much real: They played in the Union Association – newly formed in 1884 and officially designated a Major League by a ruling of the Special Baseball Records Committee in 1968-69. It existed at the same time as the National League and American Association.

 

Just take a look at some of the clubs. Pittsburgh and Chicago seemingly shared a franchise? The Brewers finished in second at 8-4? The Wilmington Quicksteps?

Throw a no-hitter and lose -- it’s about as rare as it sounds. It’s happened just six times in Major League history and 10 times in the Minors, where wacky occurrences are abundant, since 2005.

 

For it to happen, a team needs to get unlucky and yield some combination of walks or hit batters, wild pitches or errors and sacrifice bunts or flies while its own bats are held quiet. Of those 16 recorded instances, 13 of them saw the winning -- and no-hit -- club come out on top with just one or two runs. At most, four runs did the trick.

 

 

 

 

Tasked with locking down the final frame was Ben Joyce, the Angels’ No. 11 prospect and noted destroyer of radar guns. But with great velocity comes wavering command. Joyce walked the bases loaded despite recording a pair of outs, but the final one proved to be the most difficult. Another walk brought in Chattanooga’s first run. Three more scored when center fielder Jeremiah Jackson committed an error on what would have been the final out. That was it for Joyce.

 

The rest of the frame reads like this: Hit by pitch, hit by pitch, hit by pitch (run), walk (run), wild pitch, hit by pitch and, mercifully, an inning-ending strikeout.

 

Things almost got interesting when the Trash Pandas scored a pair and got the winning run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh but Pedro Garcia entered with one out and fanned a pair to conclude the head-scratcher of a game.

28 quarterbacks have received a higher grade than Patrick Mahomes between 2015-2022. He received the same grade that year as Nathan Peterman. So if anyone tries to tell you that Mahomes was a celebrated quarterback prospect going into the league, he wasn’t. He had fantastic physical tools but, as we’ll come onto in a bit, he was also seen as reckless and a system quarterback from the spread.

 

22 quarterbacks have been graded higher than Josh Allen since 2015. Allen’s grade (6.40) was higher than Mahomes’ (6.30) but the following quarterbacks were graded significantly higher than the pair: Blake Bortles (6.80), Teddy Bridgewater (6.80), Jameis Winston (7.00), Marcus Mariota (6.80), Jared Goff (7.00), Paxton Lynch (6.80), Carson Wentz (6.70), Mitchell Trubisky (7.00), Sam Darnold (7.10), Baker Mayfield (6.70) and Dwayne Haskins (6.70).

 

Here’s the reality when it comes to QB scouting « Seahawks Draft Blog

 

Se strinjam s tem, folk se veliko preveč osredotoča na slabosti igralcev namesto na to, kaj lahko postanejo, če izpolnijo svoj potencial. In seveda je veliko odvisno od tega, da pridejo v ekipo s trenerjem, ki jim lahko pomaga pri razvoju. Mahomes bi bil skoraj sigurno flop, če bi ga draftali kakšni Jetsi ali Brownsi. 

[Vilinec]

Just so you know, če bi Sabresi zmagali tekmo v New Jerseyu, bi bili v PO

 

V glavnem dobra sezona vseeno, ogromen napredek, pa še Andy je zaključil ravno proti Ottawi. Drugo leto pa PO!!

Od kdaj se pa na tem forumu piše podrobneje o Sabresih? In od kje jajca za to?

 

Anyway, en inside scoop, bomo vidl poleti, če so bo kej od tega uresničilo...

Levi, UPL and Comrie next year, they would prefer Levi 1 and UPL 2 but Comrie is under contract. Some young players in the AHL that are doing well with there evaluations may not fit in to the future plans will be moved for NHL ready players. They want to bring in another 1st or 2nd Dman, that will happen. Also looking into another top 6 Winger. Adams and CO. are very happy with how this team has played also, do not count out Okposo and Girgensons not coming back. Alot of respect for both within the organization. Okposo will take some time to re set.

I don't have any info in which younger players are being talked about as of now. I still heard the 3 year deal for P Kane was being talked about but not sure if he wants to come home if not, they have a few others players being talked about. Tyler Toffoli and Noah Hanifin were mentioned to me. I like Gavrikov IMO.

[Shadow]

to je Vilinec zaceu manijo   Toffolija stekm ostale dva pa meh. Sej sta mlajsa, (3 leta) sam imo ne bi pridodala ful neki njihovem napadu. 

[ronaldinho]

M'si tudi zmagali dve zapored.  Kelenic HR na zadnjih 4 tekmah pa France ima 11 game hitting streak.

 

Raysi pa doživeli prvi poraz sezone (proti Torontu).

 

Drugače pa danes Jackie Robinson day.

Od kdaj se pa na tem forumu piše podrobneje o Sabresih? In od kje jajca za to?

 

Glej, če po Edmontonu hodim okoli z Goathead hoodijem, potem si tudi tu upam o Sabresih pisat :D. No, sicer v Edmontonu itak poznajo samo Gretzky in McJesus ero če ti povem po pravici, kot da vmes niso ostajali. No ja razen "FUCK PRONGER" še je :D.

 

Glede napisanega pod tem... Levi skoraj ziher ne gre v Rochester, čeprav zna past v kakšno krizo, vseeno je star 21 let. Skoraj ziher sem, da če bodo lahko kam tradali Comrieja, magari za vrečo pakov, ga bodo, ker se ne zdi preveč cenjen pri Sabresih. V obrambi so najbolj nujne spremembe, kak Bryson žal ni na nivoju, Power z Jokiharjuem pa tudi ni ravno, bi rabil boljšega d-mana, Joki je verjetno dovolj dober da menja Brysona :D.

Za napad pa hm, Girgs verjetno res ne pride nazaj, njega zna menjat Kulich, Okposo je še vedno 50/50, omenjeni igralci bi rekel da Patrick Kane koliko še vedno zna, bi verjetno zahteval preveč, vprašanje tudi če bi hotel v rodni Buffalo :D, Toffoli pa se mi zdi da bi glede na stil Buffala znal bit zelo dober, pa še znal bi kam drugam it, še posebej če ostane Sutter :D. Sabresi sicer v napadu nimajo nekih težav, je pa PP zadnje čase bil katastrofa.

Kaj si želim za drugo leto je nadgradnja te sezone, več konsistence, boljša obramba in približno isti output napada pa smo :D.

Zadnjih 12 tekem so bili Sabresi 9-2-1, kar je pace za 130 točk, tak da drugo leto smo prvaki :D.

Giatsi so ze 4-0 eh ja...

Luc Robitaille on Kopitar's brilliance, 'minimizing' McDavid, and more

 

In one way, Friday was a typical day for Luc Robitaille.

To start off, the Los Angeles Kings president embedded with the hockey operations staff, running through the playoff roster ahead of the 47-25-10 Kings' first-round date with the Edmonton Oilers. (The series starts Monday in Edmonton.) Robitaille had media responsibilities to close out the morning. Then, in the afternoon, his schedule featured "a lot of meetings" about the club's local TV future in the wake of Diamond Sports Group's bankruptcy.

In another way, Friday was atypical because Robitaille was hoping to cut it short. Usually booked seemingly all hours of the day, he instead wanted to be at home with family one last time. The grind of playoff travel was approaching.

 

"I won't be home for the next two months," said the affable Robitaille, letting out a short laugh. "That's the hope, anyway!"

Robitaille, 57, has overseen the hockey and business departments for the Kings since 2017. Undoubtedly, he and general manager Rob Blake - both iconic Kings players of previous eras - are the organization's most influential figures in trying to reconstruct a Stanley Cup-caliber roster.

The Kings, Cup winners in 2012 and 2014, are attempting to win a third championship with longtime cornerstones Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty. So far, so good in terms of making the postseason cut in consecutive years.

Robitaille - or "Lucky Luc," as he was nicknamed during a Hockey Hall of Fame career - spoke with theScore on Friday about retooling the roster, Kopitar's brilliance at center, shutting down Connor McDavid, and more.

(This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.)

Christopher Mast / Getty Images

theScore: Even at 35 years old, Anze Kopitar's in the conversation for best two-way center in the NHL. Why and how? What do you see day-to-day that's keeping him at such an elite level in his 17th season, all with the Kings?

Robitaille: It's incredible how he's still the same player he was 10 years ago. He seems to have not changed his pace, the way he plays. From his first day playing in the NHL, he's always been a 200-foot player.

You know how Patrice Bergeron is revered and viewed on the east coast? If you were to flip-flop those two, if they were to change places, I think Kopitar would get the same love as Bergeron.

If you talk to every player in the NHL, they'll tell you, 'He's a really hard player to play against. He's heavy. He plays both ends. He plays PK, PP.' He still plays 22 minutes a game most nights. His discipline to stay in shape - he's so committed to the game, with his offseason workouts seemingly getting better every year. It's pretty amazing those two guys are still doing it at their age.

You're right. Whether it's counting stats or advanced stats, Kopitar's right up there. One thing that jumped off the page for me: Kopitar's taken only two minor penalties in 2022-23. That's impressive, considering the strength of opponent he faces and, as you noted, his heavier style of play.

He leans on guys. He's heavy. It is amazing that he's basically had no penalties. It's kind of crazy … (laughs)

The other thing no one is talking about: The day we put Adrian Kempe with Kopi, Adrian Kempe became a 35- and 40-goal scorer. Then we put Quinton Byfield with Kopi and suddenly everybody's going, 'Ah, I can see Byfield's coming into his own now!' Kopi's our safety net to help the trend of our team.

A young player can gain confidence simply by lining up beside somebody like Kopitar, right? You attach the young player to the responsible veteran and life's easier. Pucks start going in and it all builds from there.

Yeah. You're right about that. But, also, I was talking to someone the other day about how lucky we feel. Let me explain: When you have Kopitar on your team, it's so easy to teach the young guys how to play responsibly. If they see one of the team's best players doing all of the little things day in and day out, no matter what, they can't come in and say, 'Well, that's just not the way I play.' No, they know Kopi's won, and they know he's won playing a certain way. Next thing you know, they're a little bit more responsible.

It's funny, there's some irony in it for us. Kevin Fiala's an incredible player. He's had a huge impact on our team. But early in the year, he'd make some risky passes we weren't used to seeing. We would be like, 'Whoa, what's up with that pass right up the middle?' And then, over time, Fiala has remained the same impactful player, but it sure seems like he got rid of 50% of those risky passes.

He's still producing, right, but I think the rest of it has a lot to do with guys like Kopitar playing the right way all the time. If you're a player and you're smart, you go, 'Oh, that's what makes him so special! If I can play like him a little bit, it'll help the team even more.'

Sean M. Haffey / Getty Images

The Drew Doughty-Mikey Anderson pairing - why is it so effective? And what was so appealing about Anderson to warrant an eight-year extension?

The biggest thing for us is trust. When you watch Mikey play, you never think about him. You just trust him. He gets the puck and makes the right play. He closes plays down low. And he's a great partner for Drew as somebody who gives Drew a little bit more freedom. Mikey will always, always back Drew up.

It's been such a great pairing for us, and that's why it was also so important for us to get another left-handed defenseman before the trade deadline. We wanted four guys who we can really trust. But it starts with Mikey and Drew playing the way they do together.

A few years ago, the Kings shifted toward a retool around Kopitar, Doughty, and goalie Jonathan Quick. There had been an emphasis on getting faster and younger. I'd say you've accomplished that. As far as a timeline on the retool, are you where you thought you'd be in 2023?

Internally, we always wanted to be pushing for the playoffs last year and this year, knowing that once you get in, you can beat anyone. We certainly feel like, because of the way we play, we can beat anyone. The playoffs are a hard road. You have to be locked and loaded and healthy to start. We feel that way.

That being said, we know if everything goes our way this year and we win, we really feel we're going to be better in two years. We have some young guys coming up, and we still have room for them, and it's only going to make our team better in the future.

I suppose that's the beauty of hitting on many of your draft picks. You don't have a bunch of prospects blossoming at once. It's a steady flow.

They trickle in over time. And, if there's anything we've learned, it's to be patient. With Adrian Kempe, it took him six years to start scoring goals. (laughs)

Ronald Martinez / Getty Images

What do you attribute to Kempe's ascension? He isn't a flash in the pan.

He was always a really good player, but he wasn't shooting much. He wasn't creating much offensively. But the whole time he had the defensive skills, which can be very hard to get. We never worried about him defensively. And we knew he could skate. So, in our zone, the guy never hurt us.

He was playing center and some games we'd put him on the wing. Somehow, he found a way to get open more often and shoot more often. And his creativity with the puck got better.

We have a kid now who's similar to Kempe. He's not a shooter like Kempe, but with Rasmus Kupari, when we look at him, we remember Kempe in his first three or four years. They're great skaters, they never hurt you defensively, and you have to just wait for them to come into their own offensively.

You faced the Edmonton Oilers in Round 1 last year. Ditto this year, starting Monday. What needs to happen for L.A. to win this time around?

We know we can match up against anybody. We have to play our game. It's going to be really hard to do that when you have two of the best players in the world on the other team. They're hungry, too. So, it's about minimizing their scoring chances, and then when we get our chances, putting them in.

I really feel like the Oilers got better this year. But so did we, you know? So, I think it's going to be a really good series. There won't be a lot of room out there. You'll have to create room. We all know how good their power play is, so it almost goes without saying that you don't want to give them too many opportunities there. But we're certainly creating a big rivalry with them, and it's going to be a great series.

We've beaten them twice this year, and they've beaten us twice. We thought we outplayed them in one of those losses. So, it's going to be a show, I think. (laughs)

You played with and against Wayne Gretzky. With that in mind, how do you gameplan against a generational talent like Connor McDavid? Do you sink your teeth into the video, or is it more so about shadowing him or, at least, doing your best to keep up with him as far as skating speed?

If you're going to have a guy shadow Connor McDavid, he better skate faster than him, and I don't think anyone in the league can do that. (laughs)

So, I think it's more about playing the right way as a team. You're trying to minimize McDavid's scoring chances. He's going to create one or two chances a period on his own, but you certainly don't want to give him a free one. We went to Edmonton earlier this year, played a really good game, and then put it right on his stick for a breakaway. You can't do that. He has to earn every chance, and he will get some chances because of who he is.

You just have to keep playing, and it's the old cliche: Keep the puck in their zone as much as possible. But I do really believe they got better. So, we know it's going to be a lot of work for us to keep it in their zone. Mattias Ekholm was a great move for them. Even Nick Bjugstad, he's brought in a little size. Trust me, it's not going to be easy.

Juan Ocampo / Getty Images

How have you felt about the Kings' two trade deadline additions - defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov and goalie Joonas Korpisalo - and how they've mixed into the group since March? Thoughts on the on-ice fit?

They both have fit in perfectly on our team. Korpisalo has come in and given us stability in the net. We've had Pheonix Copley play really well since December, and now Korpisalo's here, and he has this real calming attitude about him. He's been really, really good.

And then for Gavrikov, we always talked about getting that second-layer, left-shot D-man who can really stabilize our team. He's done that, and more. Him and Matt Roy give us an opportunity to cut down a couple of minutes with Doughty so that Drew is a little bit more rested. But that Gavrikov-Roy pairing has been a really hard pair to play against. Gavrikov has a long stick, long reach, and we couldn't be happier about what he's done for us so far.

One last one. Back to Gretzky. Beyond the obvious - all-time speed - what are the similarities and differences between Connor and Wayne?

Wayne was smaller and skinnier, so every team before every game would say, 'You have to run him. You have to hit him. You have to check him.' They did everything.

When you play against McDavid, you pay attention to him. It's incredible the speed he brings. And his vision is a lot like Wayne's. Still, I can't believe Wayne got 200 points! That's basically 50 more than McDavid! (laughs)

When you put that in perspective, you start thinking, man, how great was Gretzky? And Mario Lemieux, too. It's crazy. But here's another thing: I remember people saying Wayne's shot wasn't great, this and that. Then he scored 92 goals. And last year we've got people saying, 'Yeah, McDavid's good but he doesn't score as many goals as he should.' And then you see this year he gets 64.

It just shows how these guys want to get better every game, every year. McDavid's got a lot of the same drive as Wayne. Every shift, every shift. And you saw it last year in the playoffs, where McDavid really took his game to another level. You can tell the kid has a lot of personal drive.

You have to give him credit for what he's done so far in his career. He's a superstar, and he's fun to watch every night.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Mets are the first team to score six or more runs on one or no hits in two separate innings in the same game since at least 1957. It's only happened twice in a season just once since '74, in two separate games by two different teams in '98.

Evo tudi letos moj pogled na PO in napoved. Obicajno ne zadenem dosti, sam jbg   Se opravicujem za pisanje, upam, da se kdo prebije cez. Kr nec se bat popluvat predikcije   

 

 

VZHOD

 

BOSTON BRUINS VS FLORIDA PANTHERS

Hja (dr.Stare lp), kaj napisat o tej seriji. Boston prihaja v to serijo kot big bad bruins, po legendarni in rekordni sezoni presezkov. Panthersi pa kot lanskoletni presedniski prvaki ki so se letos zvalili cez crto v PO. No usaj formo so ocitno ujeli. Boston je hud favorit, ampak kot se je ze leta 2019 vidlo, to v PO ne pomeni prav dosti. (khm tampa khm BJ). Florida tudi na koncu ni tako slaba ekipa, kot bi si mislis za WC ekipo. Napad Floride 5na5 je najbolsih v ligi, majo tudi visok % pricakovanih golov in dejanskih golov. Znajo si ustvarit zelo kakovostne priloznosti. Na njihovo nesreco so Bruinsi tudi izjemni v igri 5na5 ampak se bol zanasajo na kotrolo igre v nevtralni coni kot na hitrost. Kjer je najvecja razlika je obramba. Boston ima najbolso obrambo v ligi in so tudi 2. po omejevanju strelov na gol, takoj za Hurricanesi. Na golu sta itak letos neverjetna Ullmark in Swayman. Pri Panthersih bo verjetno zacel Lyon, ki jih je po bolezni Boba spravu v PO. Za premagat Bruinse bodo mogli stisnit obrambo in en od golmanov postat ekstremno vroc. Useeno pa mislim, da tokrat ne bo presenecenja.

 

Moja predikcija: 4-2 Bruins

 

NEW YORK RANGERS VS NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Tole bo ena najbolj tesnih serij in tudi med bolj zanimivimi. Devilsi imajo izjemen napad, ampak a bo to zadosti za Shesterkina. In ali bodo Rangersi izenacili napad Devilsov. Ce gledamo prve 2 napada bi dal prednost Devilsom, ampak mislim, da imajo Rangersi prednost v depthu. V obrambi so oboji izjemni ampak spet bi dal majhno prednost Rangersom. Kjer imajo Rangersi ocitno predost je v golu. Shesty je pac nivo nad Vanecekom in dvomim da lahko prevaga v korist Devilsov. Devilsi se itak najvec zanasajo na hitrost in agilost, Rangersi so pa velika in mocna ekipa ki jih bo probala ubit ob ogradi. Mislim, da bo zelo tesno ampak zaradi razlike v golu, bom reku…

 

4-3 Rangersi

 

CAROLINA HURRICANES VS NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Canesi prihajajo v PO v dokaj meh formi. Sploh v napadu, kjer se pozna poskodba Svechnikova. Pred njegovo poskodbo so bli nevarni v napadu, zmage so letele levo desno, kontrolirali divizijo in bli blizu Bruinsom. Po poskodbi pa ne bi reku lihk kolaps, ampak dokaj blizu. Napad je povprecen brez njega. Je pa res, da ce gledamo sezono in prejsna leta, majo Canesi cifro Islandersov. Na njihovo sreco se zanasajo na obrambo. Dominirajo v posesti in dopustijo najmanj strelov na gol pa najvec shutoutsu so meli letos. Islandersi jim bodo nekako mogli prevzet to posesest. Majo pa tudi Isladersi izjemno obrambo in se bolj izjemnega golmana v Sorokinu. Kakorkoli, oboji imajo ubistvu zelo meh napad, brez izrazitega strelca, Islandersom se vraca Barzal, bomo vidli kok bo pomagal. So pa oboji izjemni v obrambi, Canesi majo majhno  prednost, Islandersi pa seveda v golu. To zna bit zelo zelo defenzivna serija, z mal goli in vsak bo tok vec stel. Na koncu useeno mislim, da bo Aho in njegova dva finska kolega (Kotkaniemi in Teravainen) prevagala v njihovo korist.

 

Moja predikcija: 4-2 Hurricanes

 

TAMPA BAY LIGHTING VS TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Hahaha spet ta serija   Tole bo spet ena izjemna serija za pogledat. Tampa letos prihaja v to serijo v dosti slabsi kot prejsna leta. Toronto po drugi strani zgleda zelo zelo dobro. Sam kej kr pac, Leafsi Bodo ze nasli nacin, kako zajebat. Leafsi imajo enega najbolsih PP v ligi, ampak to so ga meli ze lani pa niso nasli resitve za PK Tampe. Letos je ta pomebna razlika, da ni vec McDonagha. Kar bi znala bit tezava za Tampo v branjanju. Po drugi strani imajo pa tudi Boltsi dober PP (razn zadnih par tekm) in nasplosno je napad obeh ekip zelo izenacen, oboji z globino po celotnem napadu. Tako, da tuki ne dam nobenmu prednost. Bi jo pa dal na obrambni strani Tampi. Tako obramba se mi zdi za malenkost bolsa, predvsem pa na golu kjer Vasy zna odigrat pomebne tekme. Samsonov je dober letos, ampak nvem kako bo zgledalo v PO. Ce se pa katerikoli od njiju poskoduje, pa bi skor reku, da majo Leafsi z Murrayom mal vec moznosti Eh nvem, enostavno ne morem stavit prot Tampi, ampak bom, ker nekako mislim da so letos Leafsi zreli za 2nd roud. Ce jim pa spet ne rata, pole pa nvem..zapali fukni u swcu.

Moja predikcija: 4-3 Leafs

 

ZAHOD

 

 

COLORADO AVALANCHE VS SEATTLE KRAKEN

Za Krakene je ze izjemen uspeh, da so v svoji 2. sezoni prisli v PO. Pac Vegas je anomalija in to kar so oni naredili je zgodovinsko. Ampak tudi tole s Krakeni je zelo blizu tem uspehom, sploh ce pogledamo zgodovino in vidimo, da ponavadi expansion ekipe so za en drek. Tako, da samo kapo dol Krakenom    No za nagrado, so dobili serijo z branilci naslova Avalanchi. Verjento bols, kokr Vegas Ce pogledamo napad, majo Avsi po talentu prednost. MacKinnon in Rantanen sta elitna in mislim, da ni igralca pri Krakenu ki je tako dober. Po drugi strani, pa imajo Krakeni vecjo globino v napadu. 6 igralcev z 10+ goli in koncali z 3. najvec goli v ligi. Tukaj morajo iskati svojo priloznost. V obrambi dam veliko prednost Avsom. Makar-Toews je par za si prste obliznit, uzadi mas pa se Byrama, Mansona in Johnsona. Pri Seattlu se lahko izpostavi Dunna in Larssona ki sta bla izejmna. Problem je, ker nimajo za njima tok dobrih branilcev kot so v Coloradu. V golu pa eh, oboji imajo povprecna golmana, ampak Kuemper je dokazal, da lahko brani zadosti dobro, da ni v breme ekipe in osvoji pokal. Kako bo pa Gruby…ce se spravi v formo, zna delat probleme, cene pa zna ta serija hitro pridt do konca. Aja Avsi so brez kapetana Landeskoga, bomo vidli kok se bo to poznalo v PO.

 

Moja predikcija: 4-2 Avalanche

 

MINNESOTA WILD VS DALLAS STARS

Se eno srecanje tezkokategornikov, ki bo ekstra zanimivo. Oboji igrajo agresiven hokej in se ne bojijo kontakta. Pri Starsih je neverjeten Robertson, ki je postavil nov rekord fransize po tockah. Pri Wildih pa je itak prva zvezda Kiril the Thrill, ki kljub poskodbi  ni stal Wilde slabse uvrstitve ampak so ostali poprimli njegov izostanek in dodali izjemno v napadu. Se je pa na koncu zlomu Eriksson Ek, kar je kr udarec. Napad je precejsna prednost Dallasa, saj Wildi vseeno nimajo take globine. Zato pa Wildi to nadoknadijo z odlicno obrambo. Ampak a bo to zadosti, da se ustavi napad Starsov pa tudi branilci Dallasa so izjemno nevarni v napadalni tretini, to bo kar teska naloga. V golu bo verjetno zacel Gustavsson, ki igra odlicno in tudi ce mu ne bo slo imajo se zmeri Flowerja za backup. Pri Dallasu pa seveda Oettinger, ki je ze lani spravljal v obup Flamese. Na koncu mislim, da bo Dallas prevladal, predvsem zaradi napada.

 

Moja predikcija: 4-2 Stars

 

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS WINNIPEG JETS

Evo GK se po eni sezoni premora, vracajo v PO. RIP Jets Napad Vegasa ni nic posebnega, pac povpreceni so. Nimajo nobenega 30+ golov napadalca in sam 3 ki so sli cez 20. So pa useeno mal bolsi ekipno kot Jetsi. Jetsi majo Scheifela in potem se nihov napad se bol tanjsa kot Vegasov. Tudi oboji imajo tezave z PP. No kot Canesi in Isladersi so tudi te dve ekipi mocni v obrambi. Jetsi imajo bolsi PK kot GK, bi pa reku da imajo pri Vegasu kot celota bolso obrambo kot Jetsi. Na golu bo pri Jetsih seveda kraljeval Hellebuyck, ki je eden najbolsih golmanov v ligi in se bodo Jetsi mocno opirali na njega. Pri Vegasu je se mal neznanke kdo bo zacel. Thompson je bil nihov najbolsi vratar ampak se je poskodoval. Brossoit je bil izjemen kar je odigral za Vegas, ampak PO so drugacni in je mogoce, da bo zacel Quick ki je pac veteran in zmagovalec. Po statsih bi vseeno raj zacel z Brossoitom pa potem spremljas kako reagira. Na koncu mislim, da majo GK bolj celovito ekipo.

EDMONTON OILERS VS LOS ANGELS KINGS  

In spet so skupaj. Ekipe se ne gledajo lihk najlepse in vse letosnje tekme so bile na noz. Kar pomeni za obliznit prste serijo. Napad Kingsov je tako kot od Vegasa, povprecen. 5na5 niso neki nevarni, imajo pa zato zelo dober PP. Najvec se bo itak racunalo na Kopistarja. Upam, da bo bolsi kot lani, ker so ga Oilersi totalno omejili. Ce se vrne Fiala bo precej lazje tudi za njega, ker ne bo sam on pod pritiskom. Bodo pa tudi ostali morali pridodati ce hocejo meti sanso prot Oilersom. Predvsem Kempe, Byfield in Kaliyev. Pri Oilersih je pa itak napad top heavy, McJesus, Drei in Kane kot glavne tezave in letos se izjemni Nugent-Hopkins in Hyman. Je pa res, da je bottom 6 spet nekje pozabljen. Verjetno za Kingse bo zadosti, kako bo pa naprej pa tesko rect. V obrambi so se Oilersi koncno okrepili in Ekholm je zadetk v polno. Kako pase v sistem in kaj je prinesel za mirnost na plavi crti, izjemno. Oilersi bi reku, da imajo bol ofenzivno naravnano obrambo, Kingsi so pa bolsi v branjenju. Gavrikov – Roy je super shutdown par. Na golu pa ha, oboji so imeli probleme z vratarji. Oilersi so se zajebali z pogodbo Campbellu in na njihovo sreco se je Skinner izkal za dobrega golmana, ampak ni pa se seveda nikol igral v PO. Kako se bo znasel pod vsem pritiskom bo najvecje vprasanje. Kingsi so ugotovili, da z Copleyom in Petersenom ne morejo racunat na resen napad v PO zato so pripeljali Korpisalo. Korpi je ze caral v PO, pred leti je mel neverjetnih 80+ obramb v PO. Ali bo to zadosti, za ustavi Oilerse pa nvem ce. Bo tezka tekma, ampak nekako ne vidim Kingsov, da bi jih premagali. Premalo talenta.  

 

Moja predikcija: 4-2 Oilers.

Svaka cast, @Shadow.

Super branje, nič se opravičevat

 

Edino kaj sem skoraj ziher je to, da bodo Leafsi uspeli vse skupaj svetovno zaje*at, ostalo bi se pa kar strinjal. Rangers vs Devils zna bit sicer zelooo tesna, kar težka napoved, bom pa vseeno malo pogumen in rekel da bodo Jetsi šli naprej

[ronaldinho]

haha, bravo DK, jebeš Erin  

 

 

[ronaldinho]

Nočem jinxat, ampak Castillo je perfect through 6.

 

Napad pa še nič ni spravil skupaj.

[ronaldinho]
