Canadian teams make up roughly 23% of the league, and when you account for expansion teams, they were probably closer to 25% of teams over the last 26 years.
Over 26 seasons we would expect in a perfectly balanced league for the Canadian teams to have won ~6 Cups.
Instead they have won.... 0
basic binomial probability of 0 successes in 26 attempts with a 23% chance is like 0.11%
If they all have a great chance of going in, why haven't they scored more?
Jones has been great, it's the Sharks defence that is garbage.
1D is pinching out in the corner, 2D is standing around in front of the Goalie meanwhile there's a Vegas forward sitting in the slot and the Sharks C is standing about 3 metres away from him.

hello, /lifelongs/! In professional ice hockey, teams successfully kill five minute PPs without giving up four goals quite often. In fact, almost always! I'm glad I could clear that up for you since you're new to /hoc/. You wouldn't want to look silly in front of everyone, now would you? :)
Asher Foster
There is no way that Jones and Fleury both make it another 20 minutes without letting a goal in.
Connor Gomez
suck that he got hurt but the forced major if someone's hurt has got to be reviewed, it's a cross checking minor tops

Liam Campbell
Shork (verb): To choke, as a shark choking on a piece of a hockey stick it has bitten; to choke, as in blowing a lead in the third period; to choke, as in blowing a playoff series lead; to choke, in any fashion, and be a hockey franchise located in San Jose.
literally hundreds per game and usually only exists when they need an easy make up call. shit refs shit league.
Hudson Campbell
Here's an idea. If someone gets hurt and is forced to leave the game as the result of a hit/push/whatever by an opposing player, but it doesn't really rise to the level of a penalty, just force the "offending" player to leave for the rest of the period without giving a penalty.

I genuinely enjoy it and have no regrets. And despite being a loser who spends at least 6 hours every day on Yea Forums, and most of the rest of my waking hours watching nip cartoons for children, I have accomplished more than Fleury did tonight.
Gave hockey a chance today and frankly I was unimpressed. There is more talent and excitement on display in a single innings of test cricket than an entire match of poockey.

MacKinnon and Mikko were monsters, they manhandled the Flames. San Jose could barely contain the Knights who don't have a line comparable to the Avalanche 1st line

So is Sharks/Knights a top 5 NHL rivalry now or do they need a couple more seasons.

im not worried about the shorks getting close to the cup or even making a scf appearance. Just a fucked up game. Cool comback and a real thriller though.

the injury probably triggered that quality of play. I think what inspired the Sharks was the assault more so than the 5 minutes of opportunity.
Joseph Sanders

Joshua Smith
>it was 3-0 >it was 3-1 >it was 3-2 >it was 3-3 >it was 3-4
he literally just talks about only the major things that happened in the game.
You can just watch the 4 minute recaps or 8 minute condensed games and see what actually happened without having to spend 20 minutes listening to a guy ramble on.
