Half-Assed GDT: “We got left out of the party” amalgamated SCP thread

[Captain Creampuff]

Having a prime Backes right now would be amazing.

Looks like the Avs are toast. Looking forward to a Jets-Preds series though that should be awesome. Hope the Jets destroy the Predators.

Could be epic, could be a bust, could be somewhere in between. I’m hoping for an intense series. I think it goes 7 with the Jets com8ng out in top, but you never know.

Fair enough, I didn't look up the stats, my bad. I was more referring to last night's goal, and his performance in this round so far in general. I also seem to remember him as one of our best players, (if not the best), in our run to the WCF two years ago.

He definitely was one of, if not the best, during the WCF run. However, one good playoff run doesn't make a legend. Without that year, he's just another player really.

Stay classy Flyers fans.

What did the crowd do after the game?

-edit- nevermind I saw that Philly fans threw beers out on the ice lol.

Jets vs Preds


Bloodbath or a blowout?

 

[MissouriMook]

Both have 60 games, Oshie has 2 more points.
Fake stats probably

"Always Right"

enjoy the karma avs. u only got in b/c of a BS goal, now roles are reversed.

get teh golf clubs and meet the blues on the green.

That call was trash, but the Avs thoroughly outplayed us that game. I don't think that call swung momentum in the game (we got the next one after all) and they beat us by 2 if you exclude all the empty net goals. Nothing about our play tells me that we would have overcome a 2-1 hole in the 3rd period based on how we played trying to overcome a 3-1 hole. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but I wouldn't say that call is the reason they beat us and made the playoffs.

Wild imploding


Sorry to hear about your experience. Like everything opinions are based on POV. I can see why you are anti Avs. From my POV the Preds play dirty and their fans are obnoxious.

Totally agree about the on-ice play of the Preds. I'm rooting for the Jets now entirely based on the play/persona of the Preds team. I just don't have a beef with the fans. They annoy the hell out of me when I'm rooting against them (exactly how that godawful Chelsea Dagger song annoys me), but I enjoy home crowds that wear on the opponent.

 

[Brian39]

Not my place perhaps, but I'm genuinely sorry and appalled you had that experience.

Like I said, I know that it isn't representative of the entire fanbase. I live in Colorado and have plenty of friends who are Avs fans. I'm sure that stuff happens in every NHL building and (outside of Philly) I'm confident that the vast majority of fans would share your reaction. No need to apologize for the actions of others, it just left me bitter and unwilling to cheer for that guy to be happy.

It's not going to keep me from going to every game the Blues play at the Pepsi Center next year and sporting my Blues jersey. Here's hoping that the Avs keep offering that Family Night package, because that's one of the best deals in the NHL.

Easily best playoff game going on Boston @ Toronto.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Mitch Marner is who I hope Kyrou turns out to be like. Kid is lightning quick and fun to watch.

 

[KirkOut]

doesn't look good for CBJ. Unfortunate, I was hoping they'd go far

 

[KirkOut]

Wow. Unbelievable non-call on the Leafs on that ENG

 

[Ranksu]

Wow. Unbelievable non-call on the Leafs on that ENG

wasn't that interference?

But I'm happy that Leafs win it and this goes game 7

 

[Thallis]

Wow. Unbelievable non-call on the Leafs on that ENG

Almost as bad as the non call on the 6th Penguins goal over the weekend.

 

[Ranksu]

Wish we had goaltender like Rask or Andersen.

 

[The Note in MI]

Leafs Bruins with an unsurprisingly entertaining series. Tons of star power. Speed. Grit. Awesome saves. Just good shit.

Indeed.

Is this the year the Caps finally beat Pittsburgh in the second round? I hope they can.

I can't see it happening. The Caps never rise to the occasion. They've always looked better during the regular season than they've proven to be in the playoffs. Maybe they've never really been a "very good" team, only a "good" team?

 

[The Note]

Is this the year the Caps finally beat Pittsburgh in the second round? I hope they can.

I’m not a big believer of professional athletes being psyched out or whatever, but last year after they lost to them again, a couple guys pretty much said “yeah they’re in our heads.” Coupled with the fact Pittsburgh is just better than them I don’t see Washington beating Pittsburgh and I think some big changes will follow for the Caps.

Wow....Boston might choke

Wow....Boston might choke

Or maybe the thought that you need a bunch of vets isn't valid, since a team with talented youngsters and a lot of speed is pushing them to the brink. Pretty much the talented 20-22 year old forwards and Freddy playing well has the Leafs on the verge of toppling the Bruins.

Not sure I’m buying this since Toronto’s young guys (Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Rielly) are abnormally talented compared to most teams’ young guys, plus Toronto still has lots of vets (Marleau, Bozak, Komarov, Polak, etc) playing key roles

no they wont or do they?
