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

[Little Psycho]

Preds losing it

 

[The Night King]

Looks like both the Preds and Stars went to the Anaheim school of Game 7s.

But the preds faced the teachers in round one.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I miss this time of year.

 

[HookKing]

The Blues don't really have much leadership either and I expect them to meet the same fate.

 

[kingsfan28]

Weber and Josi are responsible for 2 of the 3 goals. What a mess those two have been tonight.

 

[TonySCV]

I Thought the Preds would put up more of a fight.

Call me crazy, but I think the Blues can beat the Sharks.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Weber and Josi are responsible for 2 of the 3 goals. What a mess those two have been tonight.

They're playing like Brayden McNabb and Luke Schenn.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Why can't we have stress-free playoffs when our team is eliminated? A hated rival is always making a deep playoff run. Last year, it was Anaheim.

Backes will take the same dumb penalties as Weber and will cost his team a game or two from that deadly PP.

Hope so. Blues are the team I'm rooting for, won't mind the bolts winning too.

I obviously want SJ to never win another hockey game for the rest of their existence, but is this really that bad?

As long as Anaheim stays at 1, I won't get too upset if San Jose gets one too.

Would suck, but this is nowhere near as stressful as last year.

Just think how much more delicious a loss would be for them the deeper they go. Maybe it is all just a set-up like Anaheim last year.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Looks like LA, SJ, or Ana will have gotten to at least the 3rd round for the 7th consecutive season. Going back to 2003, one of those 3 teams will have made the 3rd round in 11 of the last 13 years. Provided SJ holds this lead. No jinx or anything.

Interesting how if the Sharks do advance, they will have gotten past the Kings, and the Blues will have gotten past the Hawks. It's like the Jr. Kings vs. Jr. Hawks. I kid, I kid.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Not even a game. Two big game 7s and they're both duds.

 

[Bandit]

Another powerplay goal for san jose. Those poor Sharks, the refs are out to get them.

Have the Preds even had a power play? Sharks fans cry so hard about officials it's amazing.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Too bad Nashville has to pay Shea Weber for another 15 more years.

 

[TonySCV]

9 shots in a game 7 is embarrassing.

 

[TonySCV]

Marleau is still on the Sharks? What do ya know.

 

[Bandit]

So choke on choke in the WCF, tough to call.

 

[HookKing]

9 shots in a game 7 is embarrassing.

That's the only potential weak spot for SJ, Jones has hardly been tested in the entire playoffs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

St Louis is a much more competent team overall.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Rinne deserved a waaaaaaay more competent defense than this ****. Dude was hung out to dry on every goal.

 

[kingsfan28]

This is pretty ugly: Weber on the ice for every goal.

Rinne deserved a waaaaaaay more competent defense than this ****. Dude was hung out to dry on every goal.

And offensive support. I counted only one scoring chance by the Preds that looked close to dangerous.

 

[Bandit]

Same with Josi. Fisher not far behind
