Rangers had never won a game 7 on the road until last night, going 0-5. Then they go and have the biggest game 7 road shutout in NHL history. Nice job.
According to Elias Sports Bureau via ESPN the Bruins tied that Wings record last night.According to Fox Sports last night, the Wings pass the Habs as the all time leaders in # of Game 7 wins.
* This was the Bruins fourth overtime win in a Game 7, tied with the Detroit Red Wings for the most all-time..
Those sound like different records to me.
Obviously the Hawks are the favorite, but I cannot believe that so many people put so much stock in regular season head-to-heads. Essentially meaningless with that sample size.That's not a prediction, that's a hallucination. I know the regular season doesn't matter, but you have to be concerned with the Wing's oh and four record in the season series?
Here's my prediction: the Hawks will be eating calamari next Thursday.
Game #7 wins vs. Game #7 OT wins?Those sound like different records to me.
It's not oh and four, it's oh, one and three. One of those being a shootout that went to 5 shots a piece.
Are you saying it will be a sweep?
Game #7 wins vs. Game #7 OT wins?
Gotcha
Still not sure how Ovie not showing up on the stat sheet makes him a chicken. A choker maybe, but I wouldn't say he's a chicken - he certainly doesn't shy from contact.
Meh, 5/8... Nothing to brag about.
My second round predictions:
#1 Chicago vs. #7 Detroit
#5 Los Angeles vs. #6 San Jose
#1 Pittsburgh vs. #7 Ottawa
#4 Boston vs. #6 New York Rangers
People, its a play on words/letters, chkin, chicken, you get it? Either way, he's a dirty player, he has too many hits where his goal is to injure.

He may come up high once in a while but his hits are ALWAYS leading with his shoulder. When a 230lb man skating full speed explodes into you with 1 point of impact, it's going to hurt. What do you really expect? You want him to let up 20% or something? If Malkin actually learned to use his size the same way, you'd have absolutely zero issue with having a freight train on your team. Big hits are what keeps players on their toes and causes misplays / leads to untimely icings.

And from last night:
"Danny and [McDonagh] got banged around a little bit, but they made the plays," Tortorella said. "That's how it's going to be. [The Bruins' Milan] Lucic is going to be coming after them in Boston; a number of people are going to be coming after them. "
Man, with how obnoxious you Pens fans are being, I might actually have to root for the Sens.
Oh come on its just some good natured ribbing.
Ove is a great player but its still fun to poke at him.
Same way everyone calls Crosby crybaby.
Short handed SCOOOOOORRRRREEEEEE!!!!11111
