Around the League '15-'16: The Final Countdown

[Ziggy Stardust]

Boudreau sounding like Sutter did yesterday in his post game presser.

BB: "They're a good hockey club, and they outplayed us tonight. I don't know what we thought, but they're a good hockey club."

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can't believe fans in the post game show are actually quacking. I thought they only did that in the Mighty Ducks movies.

Well, from what I heard they passed out Qackers for fan to blow after a successful pk.

Also, I'm surprised there isn't a 10 page thread about Manson getting smoke by a hit that had Hayward up in arms.

Him crying over a penalty shot was also hilarious. The idiot clearly doesn't know the rules.

 

[The Night King]

There are homers, and then there are Haywards.

 

[Herby]

The Ducks are going to have an insane amount of pressure for Sunday's game. Obviously if the Kings lose tomorrow we are screwed also, but this Kings group can still boast 2 Stanley Cups.

Would be curious to see what would happen in Anaheim if they were to lose in Round 1, besides the obvious of BB being fired.

 

[Omni Owl]

Nashville was way more physical and aggressive than the Ducks, literally beating them at their own game. And here I was thinking they would succumb to their physicality. Ducks have their injuries as well with no Bieksa (though he might play), and Rakell seemed to be banged up. Not sure why Pirri didn't play. They were also short a Dman for most of the game.

Are you kidding? they haven't fired that choke artist after flubbing the playoffs three years in a row, why stop now when he's brought them ANOTHER division banner??

Pretty much why I thought San Jose was the better matchup for the Kings. The Preds have a better D corps than the Sharks do, and better goaltending. Long way to go yet, but the Ducks look like how I expected the Kings to look vs. the Preds.

Speaking of arms, it amazes how many people don't seem to know where the elbow is located.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Nashville is a scary team, I don't know why anyone thought otherwise

They were every bit as scary after New Year's as Ducks/Sharks

I still actually feel we match up better vs. nashville than anaheim though

Watching the eastern conference games is really comfy.

So nice not being invested eh?

Detroit / Tampa has been surprisingly entertaining. Who knew they hated each other's guts so much?

Probably has something to do with Detroit blowing the series last year.

rangers to win or draw (60min)

 

[The Night King]

The Pens collapsing against deleted Rangers.

 

[HookKing]

To feel better about our crappy D all one needs to do is watch the Pens D.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Pens couldn't really pin their hopes on Jeff Zatkoff, despite his win in Game 1. Same goes for the Isles and Greiss.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

That had a lot to do with Tyler Johnson.

 

[The Night King]

Lol 4-1. Pens are drunk.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Oh, Mason. That was Toskala bad.

 

[kingsfan28]

Dallas has 8 guys on the ice and they finally called it. In LA , Dallas can have 7, the refs huddle and then overturn the call.

 

[kingsfan28]

Oh, Mason. That was Toskala bad.

I just saw it, wow.

 

[Scottkmlps]

Roussel is such an embarrassment.

 

[Bandit]

Roussel is such an embarrassment.

Annoying as **** that the refs just keep letting him be a ****. Also I wish Ray Ferraro had a ****ing mute button.

I know the league is changing but guys like that deserve old school NHL justice where the ref looks the other way and get rid of the instigator while we're at it since it seems like they **** that all up all the time anyway.

When the guy is causing every scrum but refuses to engage anyone but Toffoli it's clear as ****ing day what he's doing. Guys like that make the refs jobs harder; don't know why they don't let someone else equalize him for them.
