tOfficial Playoff Hockey Thread

by dubie7006 Mon 21 Apr 2014 - 23:53

I think it's only appropriate that my first topic be on the thing I know best in this world. Currently watching the Stars teabag the Ducks tonight and loving it. Getzlaf and Perry may as well be called the DoucheDuo.

Go Wings

Nice. I was literally just thinking we need a playoff hockey thread. What's up with that Dallas Stars green these days? Still can't decide if I hate it or like it. I'm leaning hate.

That was an incredible shift by the ducks.

I love it. It's unique in the league now, sadly. And they're run by Jim Nill who is legitimately one of the nicest humans I've ever met. They have my support.

Living on the west coast makes me actually miss the 2am finishes. I'm a night person and all these games ending at 10pm really puts a damper on my nights sometimes haha.

Reminds me of North Dakota. It's growing on me.

I'm a casual Wings fan. Was a much bigger fan when I lived in Michigan and could get all the games on FSDET. Weird having them not play in the western conference. I had developed a lot of hate for all the western conference teams. I fucking hated the Ducks, SJ, etc. And that hate was built up over years of battles. I'm sure I'll get there, but it will take some time.

Yea I like it. Props for the ND reference. Spot on.

Wings looking good thus far. Montreal looking like they'll close it out tonight. Flyers-Rangers in a half hour, Sharks-Kings later.

by dubie7006 Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 19:46

Who was the assclown that pushed someone into Howard?

edit: It was Casper. Figures.

by Cosmo_Kramer Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 19:48

So much for turning the other cheek... but the Wings shouldn't let Boston bully them around

by dubie7006 Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 19:50

Casper is good for at least one dumb play per series. I'd be fine if this one fulfilled his quota for this series.

by Cosmo_Kramer Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 19:51

Franzen, fuckin do something

by dubie7006 Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 19:59

Howard lets a softie in. Nice shot, but still should have had it.

by dubie7006 Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 20:01

K I rescind my statement about the Wings looking good. Wow...

by Cosmo_Kramer Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 20:02

Wings are getting manhandled... horrid start at home

by dubie7006 Tue 22 Apr 2014 - 20:08

0-4 in games in which they've handed out glow sticks. Well on the way to 0-5.

Check this out! He's at least watching the sport. +1 in my book.

Good Lord, the Canadiens are fucking dominating the Lightning.

Canadiens about to sweep Tampa, 3-1 after 2.

Rangers up 2-1 after 2 on Philly.

Hey guys... Perimeter shots, how have those been working out for you???

Super well, if the object is to get the lowest score possible. They might wanna start just shooting, period.

Working in golf season? I have said it til I'm blue in the face. They have to force boston to collapse down on Rask. That's the only way they'll get consistent pressure. Though, they couldn't press on 6-on-3, not sure how they expect to do it fill strength.

I do work for a golf company now, so I often get the two confused.

16 shots through 2 isn't awful, but it's not great, either. Would like to see more. Yes, 5v3 was brutal.

Montreal sweeps Tampa out of the first round. Goal scored with ~:30 left in the 3rd to break a 3-3 tie.

Losing Bishop to that freak injury... that just sunk any chance they had

Agree. Completely different series with big Ben.

by Chitown_Badger Wed 23 Apr 2014 - 12:58

Huge game for the Hawks tonight. They looked like shit in game 3 but pulled it out. Win and it's a whole new series, lose and it's all but over.

by Youngblood 96 Wed 23 Apr 2014 - 20:33

Game 4 in the D tomorrow night. No word yet on whether Hank is playing. Xavier Ouellet recalled to practice with Red Wings, could be available for Game 4 vs. Bruins.

by Youngblood 96 Wed 23 Apr 2014 - 21:03

Matt Cooke (minnesota) gets a 7 game suspension for the knee on knee hit that knocked out Tyson Barrie for the remainder of the playoffs.
