2014 Non-Wild Playoff Discussion

[TZM]

What's this scoring you're talking about? You mean centers are suppose to do more than be third-defenseman on the team?

Jeff Carter has 9 points in the WCF series but Anze Kopitar has 3 points of which 2 are secondary assists, I think. Yet Kopitar has been the best player of the series. Not saying that Koivu was good by any means, but it gives some guide to how tough it's to shutdown the opponent and score.

Gaborik looked like he wanted to win a cup last night. After that goal he was all over the place

Accidentally put this in the non-Wild NHL news thread, but it belongs here.

The Habs are an embarrassment. It's a shame that they've made it so far with all of their "acting" abilities. Pathetic cheaters. Hope they get sent packing ASAP!

Guess getting past a beyond depleted Tampa team and getting thoroughly outplayed by Boston and only making it because of Carey Price becoming God, as well as Bartkowski singlehandedly giving Montreal freebies and the refs giving Montreal everything can really make them look a lot better than they really are.

I was really hoping the Habs would get knocked off tonight.

Rangers screwed it up bigtime.

 

[Avder]

It ticks me off whenever Gaborik scores a goal.

The fact that he's scoring against the Hawks negates 99% of it tho.

Die, Hawks.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Goaltending optional here.

 

[Avder]

Haha it's Dirtbag Brown who ties it at 3.

I think the Kings could just take this and knock off the Hawks tonight.

 

[Avder]

This game has gone from shootout to hilarious.

 

[Avder]

Please, LA, for the love of god knock the Hawks off in OT if for no other reason than we get to finally stop hearing about how great Chicago is.

It's been statistically demonstrated that Chicago is NBC's favorite team by way of which team gets on NBC and NBCSN more often. It's the Hawks.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

I think the Kings really started to push toward the end of the 1st OT.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Richards didn't pick up his man, and the Hawks win.

I thought the Pens and Flyers got more NBC time and love, especially since they love giving the screws to Chicago (and all central time teams) scheduling wise.

He had a controller disconnected moment there. Mitchell also looked less like Willie and more like Taco Torrey on that play too.

 

[BigT2002]

I remember when that man was considered one of the best centers in the league.

 

[Swervin81]

Speculation: It would take a massive choke for the Kings to not advance.



Yes, I hate the Kings that much. I just guaranteed their demise. Muahahahahaha.

Then again, you guys probably won't get the joke

2008-2010 Mike Richards WAS. He was everything you wanted in a center. Sure did regress quite a bit since then.

 

[Harvest]

Does anyone know a good stream for habs game?

 

[Swervin81]

I am eagerly awaiting what the photoshop thread guys can do with that on the playoffs board.

I ... then , then .

Cherry looks like he has on a cross between a prison striped outfit and a suit.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Well, Rags move on

I'm shocked

Jesus, with the Habs out I just can't give a **** about the Finals this year. Two years in a row that the matchup has just been too unappealing to me to even bother watching. It's like, the biggest of big market teams vs. one of the last two champions (who were also from the #2 and #3 biggest markets). Like...who can honestly cheer for either of these teams? Great for NBC's ratings but terrible for the fans outside those markets.

Ugh. Is it October yet?

Lundqvist.

Easy to root for NYR for me
