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

20 SOG by the Preds is so misleading. Getting destroyed in game 7 is pretty bad way to end the playoffs.

Nashville was completely unprepared to play except Rinne who managed to make the score actually not as ugly as it easily could have been. The guy got absolutely shelled in the 1st period.

I'm not sure if that extra day helped the Preds . Wished they played the normal one day off while the loss was still fresh in the Sharks mind.

Preds folded like an accordion that game. Completely outplayed in every sense of the word.

BOSTON -- A two-time Stanley Cup champion from Massachusetts has been charged in federal court with conspiring to sell oxycodone in the state.

The Boston Globe reports 51-year-old Kevin Stevens and a co-defendant from Medford were charged Thursday with conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone last fall.

The extra day was because last night the SAP center was being used for a Selena Gomez concert.

I actually really felt for Rinne. Didn't realize he was so competitive. The rest of his team were a bunch of no shows, that dude did everything he could to make the series competitive. I'm proud of him, I thought he was toast after the injuries, but what a battler.

Grow, if some of our guys sleepwalked through the playoffs these three were put in a coma. That I'd downright ugly.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man. I said all year Forsberg would disappear in the playoffs and was lambasted by Nashville fans for it.

I'm not happy it happened because he's a very likeable player, but it was obvious to me...

The Blues and the Sharks have finally learned after years of choking.

Except 1 of them is still gonna choke

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

This was the perfect storm year for both teams. Both the Kings and Hawks are going though transitional, post-championship growing pains. No one else in the west is experienced enough to stop them.

The Blues and Sharks have been good teams for years, but the Hawks and Kings always stood in their way.

And hopefully it's those ******** from the Bay.

Why did you think that?

Like JWill he's good at finding space, but once we tightly contested him and started hitting him, he started coming unglued and losing composure. Getting rid of the puck a step early. Bobbling it so he didn't get crushed by Drew again. His patience/IQ is one of his greatest assets but his poise was flappable.

Oh, good call. Haven't seen him play much and didn't even notice him at all in the playoffs.

Blue Jackets Twitter trolling, validating crush LA Kings Twitter had on it.

Tough start to the ECF for Tampa. Bishop looks like he took out his ACL and Johnson messed up his knee.

 

[theMajor]

these guys are playing for keeps

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Friday the 13th comes with a high body count. Feel for TB, they've really been fighting thru injuries for a long while.

 

[kingsholygrail]

With the dust settled, only Bishop appears to be truly injured(beyond bruises, sores and such). But that's a big loss. Tampa controlled the play though and didn't let the Pens play to their strengths.

No kidding. Props to the hardy Lightning. Saw this on Sportsnet:

Sounds like Toffoli this post season.
