Around The NHL: Moar Playoffs!!!

[trilobyte]

Nope. Far above my budget. Did go to 2 Sens games last yr in playoffs.

Understood. Unless somebody takes you for nothing, Leafs ticket prices are too stupid.

 

[Kershaw]

There will be game 7!

 

[JohnC]

I can breathe again!

 

[trilobyte]

Grabovski should have known better than to do that icing. That's why Grabovski is a player who never quite puts it all together.

Leafs Win.

 

[Kershaw]

Chills. Dat crowd.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Lets go Toronto! It's a no brainer to want Reimer over Rask.

More April indeed.

So 2 game 7s tomorrow, winner's play each other. Great stuff. I love the playoffs

 

[The Gloaming]

And now we get to witness an actual game 7!

If there's anything the NHL has done right, it's getting every playoff game to be on NBC.

 

[JohnC]

And now Detroit

Don't really know what outcome I want for the Ducks/Wings series

 

[trilobyte]

It was about 4 degrees above zero celsius today in Toronto. Still hockey weather

 

[The Gloaming]

Zetterberg makes it 1-0.

Nice. Go Wings!

That is pretty cool. Wow.

 

[Kershaw]

Zetterberg 1-0 Wings. Clutch playoff performer.

 

[Kershaw]

Zetterberg is flying. Holy.

 

[Kershaw]

Bobby Ryan got Kronwall'D

 

[The Gloaming]

Great start to DET-ANA.

A 26% PP? That's like, 4X better than us.

 

[The Gloaming]

Umm...Howard? Might wanna save that.

Also, didn't know that Renney is an assistant coach on the Wings. I think he's in charge of the PK.

 

[aufheben]

The first round of the NHL playoffs is definitely my least productive time of the year.

Go0o0o Wings.

 

[Kershaw]

Dirty backhand by Filpulla.

He is a FA next year. Amnesty Beaver and sign Filp 4 yrs 18m.

 

[trilobyte]

I love the Wings. They just have that whole old school thing about them.

 

[Kershaw]

I love the Wings. They just have that whole old school thing about them.

The model franchise along with the Devils for sure.

Also I want to comment on Jonathan Ericsson. All the hype goes to Kronwall because of his hitting, but I find Ericsson to be Detroit's best defender. Complete 180 from his collapse in last year's playoffs.

 

[JohnC]

I've decided that my favorite place to visit on this whole site is the Devils out of town thread. The posts during Ranger games are awesome

 

[trilobyte]

Mike Babcock is a very good coach, and I think he is better than Bruce Boudreau, but I never really thought Boudreau should be thought of as top level.

 

[RangerBlues]

Boudreau is going to get canned if the Ducks blow this.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Boudreau is going to get canned if the Ducks blow this.

Nah. They had a great regular season, and its too early for him to get canned.

However, if this game plays out they way it looks: Yet another year of regular season dominance and playoff failures for Bruce.

 

[trilobyte]

Cleary comes in to forecheck, rags the puck for 10 seconds at least while the Red Wings complete a line change. Then, the fresh troops arrive in the offensive zone to join Cleary, and they carry on. The Ducks did not catch on, and none of them pressured Cleary very hard.

Coaching.
