Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[Row I Goon]

Seriously, it’s hilarious what McD gets away with. The refs legit put the whistle away on anything he does.

I can't stand Vancouver but it would be hilarious to see the Oil fail after everyone pencilled them in as an easy sweep

TNT has taught Hank how to loosen up

 

[Captain Lindy]

Why can't we score on breakaways like that?

Beautiful goal by McD.

I mean, it IS McDavid. He needed to do more after Game 1.

I said earlier, I really hope Lavi has them working on breakaways.

Oilers win

Incredible redirect by Cole

 

[will1066]

Perfect own goal deflection

 

[Megustaelhockey]

No posts on the main board about how loud Vancouver's arena was tonight.

 

[LeetchisGod]

One of the worst OT goals that I've ever seen.

For my money, it's this.

 

[noncents]

so.. the florida panthers...

 

[Cmox]

Hank!

 

[LionsHeart]

Panthers are a really good team, but not unbeatable, and at the end of the day you have to beat good teams to win the Cup. There’s no way around it.

It’s also easy to look at other teams players and get nervous. The Rangers have a pretty damn good squad themselves.

 

[HolyHagelin]

The Bruins have far too much collective experience to think that THIS performance is enough.

Theyhave a buge collective amount of choking.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Goaltending out west is dookie

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hank!

Lolol.

He’s right on the money with this though

 

[NYR94]

Hank!

the best thing these intermission reports ever did was bring in smart, articulated former goalies like Hank and Valiquette to do analysis. Really interesting stuff. Much better than hearing guys like Messier or Gretzky speak in the same old cliches. You need that perspective from someone who knows goaltending.

Its a very odd decision. Its the type of goaltending a mite would do. Makes no sense.

It is kind of easy for Hank to get the answer, though. He's got connections to insiders, coaches, anyone.

The RVH wards off offense from below the hash marks

So does standing, lol.

Startlingly terrible. Part of the fun of watching the West is all the terrible goals they all give up.

 

[McRanger92]

Bennett punch on Marchand is dirty. And I’m no fan of Marchand or the Bruins.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

For my money, it's this.

I think it was Gaborik turned the puck over in that game where we blew a 3-0 1st period lead to Washington in 2011 that led to a tap in goal. That was worse than this one. Or how about game 7 OT and Martinez I believe scored some ugly ass bank shot goal against the Hawks?
