Around the NHL 2013-2014 Part II: The Playoff Edition

[ArGarBarGar]

Hawks are probably gonna win another cup this year. Gonna be tough to watch... in fact I probably won't even watch.

Weird, Fugu said the Bruins were probably going to go all the way.

Dallas putting on a show. Jim Nill has accomplished wonders in the span of a year. Such a fun team to watch with a ton of speed and offense.

Forgot what it looks like with Holland running the show.

 

[bullocks]

Yes, because Anaheim are world beaters. We would probably beat them again in a series. I didnt even hear of their starter until a week ago.

 

[Kronwalled55]

After watching all these other series, teams have so much breathing room to create plays. Boston was on top of Detroit the second they touched the puck. It's crazy.

 

[Kronwalled55]

With the exception of Boudreau, all of the Washington coaches have been terrible.

Even Boudreau isn't a good coach. He just allowed Washington to play an all out offensive game... Which is when the Capitals are at their best. Now everyone is trying to change them into a defense first team and it doesn't work.

And what a show it was!

And what a show it was!

My thoughts exactly.

Their defense is even more porous than the Wings. Lehtonen covers a lot of the mistakes, but we saw what happens when his hands are tied and another team is pushing hard.

That said, great building year for Dallas. First time in the playoffs since 2008. They need to keep expanding on that.

Shush! You're spoiling the "Holland sucks!" narrative!

Also benching potential scorers like Morrow and Paajarvi.

Funny moment: On Norris finalists, Chiarelli asks, "Who were the others? Suter and who?"

Gotta love the Maltby special... just needs to loosen up the chin strap so the helmet flies dramatically off his head more.

Trotz would be a really interesting choice given his defensive style vs. Ovechkin.

Interesting to put it lightly. Trotz worked his magic on Radulov, after all.

Ken Hitchcock coached teams are were offense goes to die. They are currently 6.8% on the power play in this series. With that lineup.

Babcock says hallo.

Or Babcock.

Good way to put it.
I think Trots would last for about a week with Caps.

So the blues lost thevseries after going 2-0. The Hawks came back as they did last year vs us being down 1-3.

Suter's kinda the MVP of defensemen, but he isn't the best.

Columbus is about to lose. This makes me feel somewhat better.

Always find it hilarious when people use other teams to bash holland only to have said team ultimately fail in the end

Apparently you turned the game off before Dallas blew a two-goal lead with Anaheim's net empty in the last 2:30 and then lost early in overtime.

The simple reality is that Dallas won a single playoff game more than Detroit, and this against a team worse than Boston that was also missing its most important player for two games.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

Really hope the Sharks lose in seven. It would be hilarious.

This is the2nd time they blow up a 3-0 lead.

 

[guinness]

While I'm never disappointed in seeing the Sharks lose, that Williams goal was really iffy.

I would imagine that would've been disallowed most other times, but Chris Lee, whom I think has shafted the Wings before.

But, they were up 3 games to none, no excuses in the end.
