2012/2013 NHL Playoffs thread

[Bacstar]

Fair point, Blues are a bruising team that's given the kings a hard time. I'm stoked the kings pulled out the W tonight.

You and me both... but these games are driving me to drink a tequila shot each night just to settle down so I can get some sleep. I may have to fly down to LA again this year if the Kings keep it up...

Such fun this playoffs.

Great to see the Canucks swept in four. Truely heart-warming stuff :biggrin:
Islanders actually competing with the Pens. Fantastic.
Sens up 3-1 on the Canadiens. Woohoo! (though lots of work left)
Leafs lin trouble against Boston, excellent.

Man. What an OT in the Tornonto Boston game. Wrong team won, but a hell of a game nonetheless.

Phanooooooof!!

Boston has improved their play in two key areas during this series;

-Power Play
-Holding a third period lead

End this series with a win Friday and get some rest.

Phanooooooof!!

Is it wrong of me to fantasize about Bertuzzi caving in Corey Perry's skull and then being ejected from the league and locked up for the rest of his life?

Uh, yeah.

 

[iRONic]

I've always hated that sentiment. Putting the whistles away gives teams an advantage. Games should be called the same whether it's opening day or OT game 7 Cup final.

You must be new to the NHL.

The officiating is approaching NBA levels of incompetence and inconsistency.

 

[iRONic]

Carey Price done for series; joins Brian Gionta, Ryan White, Brandon Prust and Lars Eller out with injuries. Forward Max Pacioretty will return to the lineup, while forward Michael Blunden is expected to draw in for his first career playoff game.

Go Sens!

I said SHOULD be called that way. The reality is the games are called like the NHL gave some muppets zebra suits and a pair of skates, tossed some whistles at them and threw them on the ice. Guys are getting mugged so bad out there the DA is practically ready to press charges and the refs are fumbling their whistles in their pockets like they're trying to turn off their cell phones in a meeting. It's terrible.

Kinda hoping Ott finishes off MTL tonight...I think I have some underlying resentment for when they beat the kings in the finals.

 

[Paratus]

Well the pens isles game has been interesting so far.

Missed the game, pleased at the results. How'd they do? islanders, the last 3 games, seemed to have outplayed, out hussled pittsburgh. That with the way fluery played they were lucky to pull out win #2.

Pens didn't play perfect, but they did play a lot tighter. And they had some beautiful goals.

Vokoun played well - no flopping around a la MAF.

Started getting dirty at the end of the game.

 

[mugs]

Aww was really hoping the Wild (Suter) would get swept.

You can be happy now. Wild are eliminated, 0 points and -5 for Suter. 1 goal, -7 for Parise.

Talk about non-factors. AND they have cap issues next season. That team is going to be in the dumps for awhile unless they are loaded in their minor system.

The Habs lost badly in game 5. Never were really a threat. Did a lot better than I thought this year, but their terrible April and playoffs showed that they still have a long way to go.

I'll be cheering for the Rangers this Sunday and the Sharks are now the team I hope wins it this year.

[Iron Woode]

looks like Montreal just gave up. They used to be such a strong team back in the day.

Ottawa is the first EC Team to advance. I hope they are able to keep it up.

 

[Uppsala9496]

Damn you St Louis and Damn you Detroit.
WIN already.

Now that the Hawks have moved on and I am looking at potential match-ups going forward, I am dreading the west coast games/travel. I don't want games starting late at night.

Det needs to win so it is easy travel and better tv times the next round.
StL needs to win so they can beat SJ the next round so it is once again easy travel and good tv times going into the finals where the Hawks can beat whatever shit team comes out of the east (hopefully the Islanders).

Good description...

Weirdo Californians. Most "Sweep" images include a broom.

I'm hoping the kings and ducks win their series, but that's going to be a bad time around here if they play each other next round.
