GDT: 2016-17 NHL Playoffs Thread

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Sportsnet insiders made their sections for each PO round. The Bruins - Ottawa series choices are below which, as many here would agree, shows they also believe it will be a long series. Just one of the 15 had the Bruins prevailing as the Eastern winner.

John Shannon: Boston in 7
Eric Engels: Boston in 6
Christine Simpson: Ottawa in 7
Luke Fox: Boston in 6
Chris Johnston: Boston in 6
Mark Spector: Ottawa in 7
Gord Stellick Ottawa in 7

Habs outshot the Rangers 15-5 in the first, down 1-0. Clode hockey, enjoy! Pretty slick by Glass off the faceoff, lol.

Corrected to 16-5 now. Bell Centre making sure Lundqvist gets his due.

 

[Fossy21]

10-1 Rangers in the second period. Habs will probably score on their next shot, back to their old ways.

 

[Fossy21]

Yikes, Columbus down 3-0 and Crosby isn't even on the scoresheet.

 

[Pia8988]

Scabs down 2-0 in the final minute

 

[Fossy21]

WTF is going on in that game. Been tracking it to see if they'd get shut out, and everytime I check there's more time on the clock.

It was frozen for like 5+ min earlier as well, they were well ahead of the Bruins game before that.

There it is. Shut the **** out
Pretty good night other than the Pens.

**** the Habs!

And the Oilers strike first. Looch with an assist.

And the Oilers strike first. Looch with an assist.

There's so much to hate about the Oilers. The hideous uniform, the endless tanking...

But I just can't root against Lucic.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Reading Montreal's PGT is beautiful. Apparently, they're ticked off because Julien is playing Galchenyuk on the 4th line. Clode must have found his replacement for Spooner!

 

[missingchicklet]

Add a goal for Looch. 2-0 Oilers.

 

[13Hockey]

Sobotka!!

 

[toasterjam]

it's kinda eerie reading the Habs post game and Clode threads...starting to show lots of similarities to what ours were looking like.

Just glad we are done with it and moving on to somebody else's vision and ideas.

 

[Fossy21]

Sobotka!!

A goal in his only regular season start, and he follows it up with one in the first playoff game, nice.

 

[TP]

Holy ****! Sobotka is back?

 

[Fossy21]

Holy ****! Sobotka is back?

with a vengeance

 

[Fossy21]

Wild outshooting the Blues 40-18, down 1-0 with 4 min to go.

Wild outshooting the Blues 40-18, down 1-0 with 4 min to go.

I follow the Blues on Twitter and it feels like every other post is another huge save by Allen

 

[Bruinaura]

Oooh Edmonton and San Jose is getting kinda chippy.

I love playoffs. But it's a lot less stressful when you're not watching your team.

 

[Bruinaura]

And San Jose ties it up.

Edmonton's jerseys are making my eyes bleed.

 

[Bruinaura]

Yes, I do believe McDavid would beat Brent Burns in a race....

 

[Fossy21]

Wild also tied it up, with 23 seconds to go. Going into the first OT of the playoffs.

Why is it always the late games that go to OT

 

[Bruinaura]

Slashing penalty by Looch. He's not happy. I didn't see it, need to see replay

 

[Bruinaura]

For some reason I forgot that there are no commercial breaks in OT.
