I was just editing my post to add that. :P

I just love to see Zetterberg and Datsyuk get one more before they retire :)

They are great players, but it pains me to route for them as long as they are wearing that silly red and white.

lol I understand that, we all have our teams :thumbsup

That we do.

I honestly just chirp the Red Wings mainly cause it's my dads team, and even though I love him I have to have something to pester him about.

Mighty Detroit :thumbsup

lol well maybe it can be a Sharks, Red Wings final. Then you can really chirp at your dad :)

Total Kings fan here, but them Sharks are tearing us a new asshole.

Last nights game was more like what I was expecting the whole series to be like. Seriously though, Quick needs to stop being a little punk. Bear hugging players legs so they cant follow play is not ok.

All and all stoked on the 3-0 lead. hopefully we can pull out another win on kings ice and take the boys home to rest for a few.

The Blueshirts

the only thing good about the Rangers is my nugget. I mean St. Luis.

Go go Sharks !

Blues and Blackhawks has been amazing, but that results in mutual annihilation. The winner will be too exhausted to make it through another round.

Kings have been swallowed whole by the Sharks, blood is in the water there. Sharks are looking amazing but Ducks I think will come out on top in the west.

Hope the Pens don't let any shots through to Fleury. He is either fantastic or horrible and that is no way to get to the Cup. Letang is way off his game so that is going to present issues.

Screw Boston, just on principle. They are so good the Almighty should send an Avenging Angel to cleave Chara in two just for the affront to the Creator's perfection.

Why is Montreal so good right now... starting to freak me out. Wasn't Montreal the team that finally killed Boston's big streak?

Ducks vs. Montreal for the long slap shot from behind the blue line. :winkwink:

But I still want the Pens to go all the way...

After the Blue jacket - penguins game yesterday Who knows what will happen. They pulled that win out of no where. Flurry should have had that OT goal.

Boston will probably win this round, but going up against Montreal they are a much larger team. I don't know if Montreal will be able to hold them off for 4, as much as I would love to see them do it.

My sharks hopefully will be able to bring this second game on kings ice home for a sweep, but its more then likely going to be the hardest game so far. Definitely is not going to be blow outs like the first two.

stars for the win suckers

cup cup cup

Then that means you are using the word out of context, thanks for the clarification.

Keeping fingers crossed for my sharpies tonight!

How about cross your fingers for my Red Wings tonight. They sure could use it :winkwink:

hahahahaha like that would ever happen! I'm routing for the Bruins in that series.

Well looks like my boys came to play tonight. Glad Zetterberg is back :winkwink:

Woot - Way to dominate Wild!

I fucking hate the Avalanche...

Seriously... what is it about former great players that epitomize toughness coming back as management/owners and becoming whining bitches?

Gosh darn it sharks. Ill be at the game Saturday, you better pull out a win!

It's tough to watch that's for sure.

Yeah I did not see a 3 games to nothing run by the Sharks over the Kings, for sure. Nice win for LA last night but it might be a case of too little too late.


Red Wings are putting up a fight, and they did have a nice first game win but I think they're just too overmatched with the Bruins and it's showing.

As for the Habs, wow, just wow. I'm not sure if it's more the case that Tampa just completely dropped the ball or that Montreal simply played that well, probably a combination of the two, but I did not see a 4-0 sweep going into this series, for either team. If they win their round 2 series I wouldn't advise anyone to leave their cars parked on St. Catherine's avenue that night. :D (Hopefully the shopowners down there have leared and have installed shatterproof glass)

The Canadienes get a long rest while they wait for round 2. Don't know if that'll be a good thing or bad thing for them doing all that waiting around.


Chicago - St Louis --- great series. Will the winner be too tired and beat up for round 2? I don't know about the Blues but the 'Hawks have ridden this rodeo before and managed to slither on through so I'm thinking if they win they'll find a way in the next rounds. That's what Stanley Cup teams do. They endure, and they find a way.

No one out there (not here, out there, in the twighlight zone of the world) seems to be talking about how great the Minnesota Wild are doing. Nice looking win for them last game. What is that series, tied 2-2 now?

Several surprises in these playoffs so far. Several more to come I'm sure. I wasn't much tuned into the Montreal-Tampa series but now I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they do in round 2.

Yeah my Red Wings had some fight in them last night, but it wasn't enough :(

Minnesota vs Blue Jackets in the finals...


Hold on... that's just crazy talk. I think I have to quit taking the blotter during Cup run...

Chicago is just so good, if we weren't in the salary cap era this team would be right up there with the greatest dynasties in NHL history.

Spotted the Blues who aren't scrubs a 2 game lead and then found their groove and health to sweep 4 straight.

Damn it sharks. You better step it up in LA tonight or I might be shopping for a new favorite team!

Well at least your team is still in it, unlike mine :(

I'm starting to have flashbacks to the late 80's, when my Jets were up 3 games to 0 on the Oilers, looked like we were finally going to get past Gretzky & co. for the first time, but then the unthinkable happened. Just like it looks to be happening in this series now.

Yeah its painful to watch. My boys looked a lot better last night but still were not able to get it together.

Quick is a little bitch.

stars were robbed

ayup.

Three game 7's played this week and what a way to close out round 1. Sharks, well, it was painful to watch for me as it brought back memories as I said earlier, but I must say I was a bit disappointed with most of the SJ fans leaving their team early and booing etc. Sharks had a pretty great season as far as I could tell, gave it their all and in the end just couldn't close out the Kings. But they certainly didn't deserve the booing from their own fans. Kudos to the few who did stay and cheer for them at the end though.


I thought the Flyers deserved to win the series more than the Rangers did, but there you have it. Rangers vs Pens in round 2 I think. Pens should be able to take it in 6.

Boston -Monreal in round 2. I'm going out on a limb and predicting Montral wins it in 7. (after which we'll no doubt see the usual tipping and burning of cars and looting of businesses in downown Montreal. ha)

Wild win over the Avs -- nice OT win in game 7. Minnesotenites must be over the moon about it, but it will very likely be a short lived celebration. The Blackhawks should (stress the word *should*) have no trouble putting away the Wild in round 2, but as usual you never know. Should be a good series. It'll either be a blowout or else Minnesota will surprise everyone yet again and come out swinging and make it an interesting series. I say Chicago wins it in 5.

Kings vs Ducks, is it? I have no idea how this one's going to go but being a good Winnipegger I have to go with my guy Selanne, so I'll say Anaheim in 7.

My sharks need to make a change. With as much talent as they have on the ice there is no reason we should keep flat lining during playoffs.

I apologize to any coworkers who come by my cube today and have to deal with my grouchy self.

Looks like ill route for the ducks the rest of the way. I would rather see the cup come to California, just not in the hands of the fucking kings.

Suck it! Carry on.

Ha ha, I knew some ranger fan would take offense. But seriously, you have to admit the Rangers' powerplay throughout the series was the thing that was "sucking it", big time. Flyers played with more heart, especially during the final three or four games. Honestly I'm not much of a fan of either team but I'm probably more a Ranger fan than a Flyers fan right now, but I have to stick by my assessment, the Flyers deserved it more.

That's not to say the Rangers can't step things up and get their shit together for round 2. The way they played the Flyers I don't see them getting past the Pens, but if they play like they've played in past seasons they very much do have a chance. Me saying Pens in 6 was me being kind. I really half suspect it will only go 5 games.

Rangers-Flyers was the most subdued series of them all right up until game 6. If they don't make some changes immediately they're going to get owned by the Pens.

That they did. This round though I'm going to for the Habs. Gallagher is my new favorite nugget now that Martin St. Louis is on the Rangers.

See above.

Wow can't believe the sharks blew it. That is tough being 3 up. Oh well our teams are out. Not really rooting for anyone. Just want to see some great hockey :thumbsup

Boston fans caught tweeting racist remarks about Subban last night. Anyone hear anything about this?

Subban may have scored twice last night but it was Carey Price who was the massive star of game one. Damn, the saves that guy made. He got absolutely peppered with shots at times, from all angles. That's what playoff goaltending should look like. I hope whomever's in net for the Jets next year is taking note.


Tonight’s games:
N.Y. Rangers at Pittsburgh
Minnesota at Chicago

A little bitch who beat your asses! :2 cents: :321GFY

#GoKingsGo!

even if the kings won, quick is still a little bitch. Always bitching about people skating in his crease. Taking cheep shoots at players when they are turned around. Always have "issues" with his gear to delay the game.

Go ducks.

stars were robbed

Actually, they were held at gun point, sodomized violently, and shot in the foot... right through the skates they were wearing...

I hear that's a good series. Haven't been able to watch it from my current location, all I get right now is CBC. I've been watching the Bruins-Habs games and the Rangers-Pens, but that's it.

I also hear the Wild have taken a couple of games from the 'Hawks. Amazing.

My Pens started strong against the Rangers, but with St. Louis emotional return the momentum clearly has shifted. It should be a crazy game 7.
