Around the NHL XI: Second Round Edition

[MrEctions]

Kings are just ridiculous.

I know its what everyone is saying. But the Kings are on a whole different level than the Rangers imo.

Kings are just ridiculous.

Crawford is bad.

Gaborik leads the league in playoff goals. Who would have thunked it?

 

[LORENZO]

Hmm could be tough if we have to play kings in the finals

 

[GordonGecko]

I'd like to see the blackhawks win it in 7, with plenty of double overtimes in between

playoff gaborik:

NYR: gp 25; shots 80; goals 6.
LAK: gp 17 and change; shots 52; goals 10.

shenanigans!!

I think if Sutter was drunk i'd be able to understand him a bit better

 

[Raspewtin]

Old school Gabby would've buried that.

 

[Carlos Ranger]

LA look terrifying.

Hawks have no answer.

they don't look terrifying, they just look deeper. Hawks top players trying to do to much and LA is patient and preying on mistakes

he is drunk

1-1 against them this season. We beat them 3-1 in LA, and they beat us 1-0 at MSG.

Old school Gabby would also be injured at this point.

well you are scottish...

I will say though, that Quick can be beat. He is on his knees every single time the shot is attempted and hes not a big guy at all. Pick the corners. I feel like MSL and Brassgod could have a field day with that.

Chicago just isn't playing good... also quick is shutting them down..how funny what a super star goalie can do when he's on his game... Hank vs. Quick would be a heck of a match up

Don't think that matters much.

First time hes completely healthy in the playoffs, no?

Getting hurt earlier in the year was probably a blessing for him, it kept him from getting banged up at the end of the year

 

[z1co80]

he is drunk

Ah well there is no hope then

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Yeah! The east should just forfeit! They'll get demolished! Quit!

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Really wanted to play Chi for the same reason that the Kings are successful right now. The Kings' speed is killing them.

One thing I've noticed, when the Kings have played faster teams, they look much more vulnerable. SJ and Ana got behind their defenses and made LA pay.

Limit mistakes, stay disciplined, and we should be able to hang in there. Don't do that and they'll make quick work of us, unfortunately.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Also Chicago doesn't have a #2 center.. so there goes your depth

 

[z1co80]

well you are scottish...

heyyyyyyy lol

I've started drinking myself to see if that helps

 

[Raspewtin]

Oh man this is getting ugly.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Some of the posts here are ridiculous! Chicago's defense is garbage this series!

 

[Holocene]

So much for this being a "competitive" series.
