Around the League XXI - Watching from the outside, but not all creepy like a voyeur

[Zero Pucks Given]

Their fanbase has made it impossible for me to ever root for their team. That, plus Backes is a hackes.

Haha, you basically described my sentiments about the Ducks.

Since when the hell did the USA channel pick up NHL playoff games?

NBC took Ron's lead and is bring the games , every day.

Blues fans think the Kings are dirty due to what Dwight King did to Alex Pietrangelo and Dustin Brown's missed check on Jaden Schwartz. But that team is just chock full of angels.

Not really. Both fanbases are for the most part used to the way both teams play each other. It's just crazy how the Blues are a lot like us, minus a playoff Quick-level goalie.

It's frustrating the Kings not having an answer for Calgary, but I love watching the Flames take Vancouver down a notch.

2 goals up with 5 to go... Come on Flames!!!

I hate the Blues I'll never root for the Blues! They're not getting past the Wild. Only team I want winning from the west if not us are the Jets and Wild. Other that screw em all!

I don't think they're that similar. Their blueline looks good but they don't have centers who can compare to Kopitar or Carter. There's a huge gap between them and Backes and Stastny.

Jannik Hansen is one of the more underrated ***** in the league.

Now to read the Canucks GDT and drink the tears!

 

[BringTheReign]

I'm convinced the Flames took the Kings late-game heroics mojo through some complex Canadian voodoo ritual the first time that we played them this season. I get this weird feeling that I'm rooting for the Kings whenever I watch them play.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What a win for the Flames. Hiller with a Kiprusoff like performance.

Still boggles my mind how Rutherford could make that Neal trade. Terrible.

It boggles my mind that he was hired in the first place

In other news, Rinne standing on his head for Nashville in overtime.

That puck...

Rutherford as GM during the prime years of Crosby and Malkin. No words.

What a hoot, game held up because they couldn't find the puck somewhere in Rinnes's equipment. Looked for awhile there they were going to have to have him shed his pads right there on ice. lol
Ref finally dug it out somewhere in lower leg pad.

Oh, man.

 

[Little Psycho]

Did they seriously stop showing the Hawks game?

Nvm found it.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Did they seriously stop showing the Hawks game?

No it's still on NBCSN

 

[taz346]

2nd o/t. these guys must be getting pretty tired

 

[KingsOfCali25]

This CHI/NASH game just keeps me believing that the Kings really need a Patrick Kane type player on this team. A smallish winger with speed and skill that can create his own chances (without a shot being blocked) and can distribute the puck to set everyone up.

A stick handling magician on the ice!

For sure. O has been so weak.
This is the kind of game you get when you have 2 teams who are equally talented.

Yeah and when you have someone as dangerous as Kane on the ice, it just helps open the ice for others. Which the Kings don't have. Kane just makes the other team nervous when he's on the ice.
