Around the NHL: Part Playoffs!

[BB58]

Go Blues.

 

[trilobyte]

The Leafs could sell the place out at $1500 a seat. I might be exaggerating, but not much.
They view this first playoff game in 9 years as a historical milestone. Poor Leafs fans.

 

[trilobyte]

Way to go Wings!
Finish it in OT

 

[trilobyte]

I haven't seen a lot of the Blue this season, but the couple of playoff games I have caught tell me they are not as much of a hide the puck team as I was led to believe.
They are brutally consistent in attacking the other team.

 

[Tawnos]

Wow... 2-0 lead for the Blues in the first few minutes. Now 2-2 before the end of the 1st.

Problem is that attacking style has bitten them twice now tonight.

NBC is god awful. They need to find better announcers.

Yeah, they really burned themselves on that tying goal (missed the first LA goal). I wonder though, did they consciously decide not to be defense at all costs this season? I know they were leaning toward Predators style hockey the last couple of seasons.

This Blues - Kings series is pretty wide open. Fun to watch.

I'm here alone, so I will post to myself....Way to go Wings!!!

Brunner

Love those Dead Things. Another great game.

Yeah, that OT was awesome. Great play by Nyqvist getting to that puck.

LIRL.

I'm watching Therrien speak about the last game.

He just sounds like a real hurt little whiner. I actually laughed out loud at how he is handling this.

I hope the Habs get totally humiliated. Then, I can rub it in to my smug, insufferable Habs fan friends who still consider their franchise to be so special. They live on history, so I hope the Senators can shove it down their throats.

 

[BB58]

Couldn't stand Therrien after what happened in 2008. All thanks to suspicious officiating.

 

[Clowes Line]

We've got a good one in LA.

 

[ImIdaho]

Nice explanation there, ref.

 

[Clowes Line]

Lol ref can't announce a good goal.

"The ice on the ice stands!"

 

[Holocene]

Booooo go Blues.

 

[wolfgaze]

Wow sick move by Dustin Brown there....

 

[wolfgaze]

I'm so pumped for the Sens/Habs game tomorrow night.... Right now it's my favorite series to watch.

 

[Kershaw]

Rangers need to take a page out of the Kings book. Relentless forecheck and pressure even after taking the lead. Dmen pinching. Center covering back when the dmen pinch. Beautiful hockey.

Also, coming back from 2-0 down to (likely) tying the series

 

[trilobyte]

The Rangers do not have the talent that the Kings have, or the coach. I do not expect the Rangers to be comparable to the Kings. Some may, but I don't.

Edit: Yes, I would take Darryl Sutter as coach over Tortorella.

 

[broadwayblue]

lesser lights? anyone ever heard that one before?
