Official NHL playoffs thread.

Ovi usually serves those since he doesn't kill penalties anyway and he can be sprung on a pass as he gets out of the box... lots of teams do it with their best players.

Most teams' best players are 2 way forwards. Ovechkin really isn't - he's a rare scoring talent, but not a two way player.

I wouldn't say that most teams best player can't play on the PK. Nothing against Ovechkin, but that is why Crosby is better. And I hate saying that as a Flyers fan.

 

[sjwaste]

Wow. These caps announcers are something else.

They just got done saying Green should win the Norris because of his "terrific defensive play" after the break. Then they named him the best power play quarterback in the NHL.

It underscores how awful it is that Pronger isn't a finalist. Pronger is at least in the top 3 in the NHL when you factor in, you know, defense. And him and Timonen are the two best PP point players in the East.

Bruins just got slaughtered.

 

[sjwaste]

Anyone see Green get run over in the slot, in his own zone, to give up a SOG? That guy isn't a defenseman. I don't care what anyone says.

Carlson is the real deal, and will be the Caps top d-man shortly. It hurts that he was drafted with the pick that Philly sent Washington for Eminger, IIRC.

Caps just get too many men on the ice... WHAT IS GOING ON?!

 

[n7]

W00T!

Canadiens & Sabres win tonight

Canucks kill a 2 man advantage for the kings. This PK approach is working.

 

[speg]

Canuck SMACKDOWN!!

 

[GoSharks]

And him and Timonen are the two best PP point players in the East.

Come on now... Green (35p), Ovechkin (36p), Gonchar (30p). Markov (16p in 45gp).

Pronger, 26p. Timonen 19p.

Two fights, a 7-2 Victory, Amazing game.

 

[sandorski]

Total Ownage by the Canucks. Next Game could be interesting or another blowout depending on how Quick responds.

[meltdown75]

Thankfully I was in the lab grading until the game was almost over and couldn't watch the trainwreck.

Yea, Amazing steal for 2Million/year. He has one of the best shots on team, Demitra, Samuelsson and Ehrhoff, epic.

 

[KK]

Nevermind, found one.

 

[FallenHero]

Go Hawks Go!

 

[sandorski]

Damn it Sens, I was telling you not to try and sit on that Lead, but you no listen to the Armchair Coach. Fail.

 

[dennilfloss]

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hope you get the Cup. Proud to be an Ottawa Senators fan.

 

[Dominato3r]

dammit sens! gl to the pens though, hopefully canucks can deliver tomorrow.

 

[dbk]

wtf Sens

 

[speg]

YES!!! SUCK IT OTTAWA!!!! I hate this city!!! I am glad they won game 5 so that all the fans could watch them lose in person. Woohoo!!!! :twisted:

 

[sandorski]

Good try Avs. Next year you'll have more experience.

 

[oogabooga]

Nice comeback by the pens to advance. I stopped watching a 2-0 cause I had to go out, didn't expect how the game turned out. Sorry Sens fans.

Yay Sharks advanced as well (in slightly less dramatic fashion).

Good try Avs. Next year you'll have more experience.

I'm scared. The Avs performed above expectation and are in an upswing in terms of talent/experience. This team is on track to be pretty good real soon.

You're not confused with Montreal are you?
