Around the League '15-'16--PLAYOFFS? edition

Oof, Jones.
Oof, San Jose.

Game 7 not until Thursday... this'll be the first extra day the Perds have gotten in about a month. Maybe they'll show more at SAP than they did Saturday.

If the Sharks get down a couple in game 7, that team will quit

They quit in game 6. Sharks were a whopping -31 corsi. Preds had 41 scoring chances to the Sharks 20. Preds out hit the Sharks 39-23 as well. There were long stretches of the 2nd and 3rd where it was basically 5 predators vs. Jones.

Reminded me of when the Sharks crapped the bed vs. the Kings in their barn for game 5 in 2014. They had every reason to dominate that game, but completely tanked.

If SJ loses, will they blow it up and start rebuilding? I doubt it. That franchise just seems to refuse to go through that period. And with all the moeny they've been losing due to decreasing number of STH's and a cheap TV contract, I doubt their management will risk losing revenue. No way they want to lose more gate revenue while fielding a rebuilding team. They just can't afford it. They will keep trotting out their old guys until they're on their last legs. I've been waiting for them to rebuild so that we could have a target practice during the regular season but they just refuse to suck.

Holy crap, poor Linden Vey.

Explains a bit of his dip imo.

Cue mainboard outrage "omg heartless kings cut a kid after all that?!?"

Eff the Pens!

 

[Herby]

I don't see who stops the Pens. I think this is like the Kings-Hawks 2014 series, only a round earlier.

 

[HookKing]

Eff the Pens!

I normally hate the pens but would probably throw up if Richards gets a ring this year. Pens/Sharks final could be awesome to watch.

The Pens road into the playoffs playing really well and it's continued straight through the playoffs. They may win it all.

Bolts might be able to if Stralman comes back in game 1 to get the rust out for game 2.

Unless they go back to Fleury, which would be one of the dumbest coaching decisions of all time.

I think this is it for MR, unless he wants for to keep playing for 600k a year.

This will go down with Cheechoo as one of the most remarkable collapses of a career in NHL history.

While I was kinda cheering for Washington, I'm totally okay with them getting shuffled out in the 2nd round too. I love it when the Pres trophy winners don't get it done for some reason.

I can't root for a team that basically threw the last game of the season.

 

[Drumstick Handler]

Dayum, Williams makes it 3-2.

 

[HookKing]

Pens starting to choke their guts out...

 

[TonySCV]

3 delay of game penalties in 3 minutes for the Pens. That's a first.

Do you root for the Kings?

 

[Herby]

What a choke

 

[The Night King]

2 points for Williams, tie game.

 

[HookKing]

What a choke

I still can't believe how many players swing at pucks above their shoulders...only bad things can happen.

 

[TonySCV]

And now an interference penalty. PIT unraveled.

 

[HookKing]

Any way for both to lose?

 

[ru4reals]

Wow I turned it off when it was 3-0! Holy crap if they win it will be amazing.

 

[Omni Owl]

That was the worst choke job by the Pens ever, somehow surpassing us.

 

[ru4reals]

Sad but bye bye Caps.
