I expect 94.8% less posts with the Avalanche and Predators playing golf. |
Leafs to take out Boston. Or not, but being on a playoff schedule again is cool.
|
Are the Blackhawks still the team to beat? I haven't been paying attention since the start of the season one month ago (I kid).
|
I can't wait!!
|
If Chicago loses in the 1st or 2nd round, bet they go out and get Louongo.
|
22 years and counting. Let's go Red Wings! This one was actually too close for comfort and also the first of those 22 years without Stevie Y. and/or Nick Lidstrom.

That was nuts, both OT goals scored within a minute of each other. Both those games were awesome.
|
Nice to see some of that bad luck that StL usually gets go against the other team for a change.
|
Blackhawks should have won that game 1-0, and they barely showed up long enough to do that... early in the season I heard it wasn't the same old Wild team, but it is... :ZZZ:
However, it's cool to see kids that I've watched in person while they were in college make it to the NHL, and Jason Zucker looks like he belongs and has some potential. Wish I could catch the Blues instead of home Royals games, because that could be a much better series this year. |
Louongo to start tonight, if he wins and gets hot, that will get intersting to see how they handle that.
|
Pens up 2-0 on the Isles.
Last year's playoff abortion is fading away with each ticking second. Great way to start this off. |
wow last nights games sucked, hope for better games tonight!
|
Quick tweaked something in warmup... weird postseason for that stuff. One good thing about May snow.... KC gets the Blues over the Royals.
|
Hate to be Pete here, but...
Refs - 1 Blues - 0 Those two calls to give LA a 5-3 advantage were laughable. |
Nice knee-on-knee Brown, you shitbag.

I like Dustin Brown... or at least want to... I like how he plays on the edge, and loved watching him take it to the Sedin girls last year, but he definitely crosses the line at times (didn't see the knee though).

I wouldn't mind a 5 minute major for a real nasty hit on Brown. In fact I'd celebrate it.
|
Nice cheapshot, Penner.
|
Tie game.
|
should be a tasty finish for the blues game.
|
And that's why the Blues don't go deep into the playoffs... :doh!:
|
Shit - Elliot's down.
|
Of course.
|
DIAF Brown
|
MOTHER **** THIS SHIT.
GO **** YOURSELF, DUSTIN BROWN. |
He was obviously tripped/lost an edge... not like he took a run at Elliott.
|
Elliott appears to be OK.
Time to win this shit. |

This Blues/Kings series has been great so far.
|
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
|
GOAL!
|
Ouch...that goal was a little soft there, Quick. He's been good in both games, but not at the end.

****ing beautiful.

Cardiac Blues!!!
|
Jackman <<<<<<<<@>>>>>>>>>>
|
Horrible goal.
|
That's what the Kings get for playing for OT. They got really lazy in the last 3 minutes.
|
I'll take the crap on behalf of the Kings. Congrats, guys. That's a huge win for you guys.
We'll see you bitches at Staples Center. :D |
Last year, Quick doesn't give that up.
I don't know what that means, but I'm not sensing any more magic for the Kings. |
Get ****ED LA
|
Wow, most surprising series so far... very un-Quick like at the end of both games, and the Kings have gone cold on offense after getting hot at the right time last year.
|
Great job, Ducks.... finish 'em.
|
Nice rally for Anaheim.
|
****ing Wings. :shake:

This is just unfair.
|
Crosby's out there playing hockey with a fractured jaw. Derrick Rose has been cleared for almost 2 months and still won't play basketball.

It's not like the Islanders look that bad, either... when the Pens want to win, they're pretty damn impressive. I hope the Blackhawks are watching... it's a shame to watch all that talent just go through the motions.
|
Pens-Islanders has turned into a pretty fun game.
|
Credit to the Isles defense, but three of those four goals were so goddamn fluky. Couple that with blowing a 3-1 lead where we had the Isles by their throat. Makes me want to punch my newborn square in her stupid, fat face.
Fully expect the Pens to bounce back in Game 3, but Christ...you'd think Fleury would learn how to play the backwall after giving up a pair during the SCF Game 1 in Detroit a few years back. |
Quote:
Only the 2nd time I've seen the Islanders this year, besides game one, and the time before that was Crosby's other return, but I'm sure that's the best they've played this season... and yeah, there were a couple of flukey goals. Great energy though. |
Anything can happen in the NHL playoffs. It's why I hold out hope of the Leafs winning a game.
|
Quote:
It was for shock value. I love my newborn. She never gives up a 3-1 lead. |
Quote:
|
Penguins didn't play well tonight and bad bounce at the end. They will get it going. THE NHL needs its stars to play well so everyone gets money.
|
And people wonder why the NHL lags behind in ratings - the officiating and league decision making is atrocious.
Eller gets hit cleanly, but in the aftermath, his face hits the ice. Blood everywhere. Match penalty. 2 game suspension. Dustin Brown throws an elbow at Jaden Schwartz' head, and when he misses, throws out the knee to take him down. 2:00 penalty. No suspension. What a goddamn joke. |
Quote:
I definitely agree that the NHL's suspension system is completely and utterly broken. It's maddeningly inconsistent. |
LET'S GO BLUUUUUUES
|
If the Blues can weather the first period storm tonight, I like our chances to go up 3-0.
|
Oh yay, Stephen Walkom tonight. Expecting the worst.
|
Leafs win in Boston. Where are the doubters now?

|
Goddammit, Backes. Finish that shit.
|
Good kill on a horseshit call.
Solid first 14 minutes. |
Carter sticks Jackman in the throat, no call.
