Stanley Cup Playoffs 2014 - 2015 Discussions, Predictions & Game Chat II

[Emperoreddy]

I mean they have over a 100 minute shutout against the highest scoring team in the league right now.

 

[Devils Dominion]

We could have swept TB this season.
We really shouldn't be shocked of their meltdown.

 

[Devils Dominion]

kutznetzov looking good.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Isles look like ****.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The West has just looks so much better than any team in the East. I think any of the teams in the East can win. Nobody has really stood out so far these playoffs.

Yup. The West is on another level.

 

[Bleedred]

Detroit doesn't look like a dead fish to me, and if they keep getting goaltending like this they can go far.

It wasn't that long ago many of us considered the wings a dark horse in the east.

Bishop is a moron

Detroit looks like a team that can get hot for a round or two, then explode after that.

Maybe I'm wrong about them, but Tampa Bay is giving me a St Louis/San Jose/Washington playoff team vibe. Too early to put that on them yet, but they have the potential to end up in that territory if they don't win a playoff series in the next couple years.

Either Detroit is a lot better than I thought, or TB is not nearly as good as I thought.

Whatever happens in Detroit vs Montreal, there's no way the Caps beat the Rangers. That's the Rangers favorite and cheap prostitute.

 

[MadDevil]

Tampa kind of reminds me of Caps teams in the past that could fill the net during the regular season, but never seemed to be able to translate that into playoff success.

Why can Detroit win? Who saw us coming out of the East 3 years ago? All it takes is a hot goalie and a team coming together from front of him. I wouldn't count out any team in this conference.

Tampa Bay looks like they're playing the Devils in a meaningless regular season game.

That's what they've looked like these last two games. We could have easily beaten them a couple of weeks ago if the Foligno October/November PK didn't rear it's ugly head and make a return.

And their PP in this series has been a joke.

 

[R8Devs]

lol wtf was that

 

[Devils Dominion]

Wash may be too big for Nyi.
But I still say NYi in 7.

Even with Halak doing his best blimpback impression tonight.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

The Islanders have completely melted down. Saturday night could be the last ever game at the Coliseum.

I just said this.

Glad I'm not the only one, I thought it was just me.

And then I'd be skeptical of what happens if Mrazek blows up. Then they get Gimme 5oward in there and he looks like ass like the last two seasons.

 

[Bleedred]

LOL @ Halak.

 

[The Wumpus]

Tamps vaguely reminds me of watching Chicago against Detroit in 2009: talented, but just not ready yet.

 

[MadDevil]

Mrazek seems to either be great or terrible, so that could really determine how far Detroit goes. Goaltending is why I still see it being Rangers/Habs in the ECF again. I just don't trust any goalies in the conference except Lundqvist and Price.

 

[Devils Dominion]

NYi misses Hamonic badly

 

[Emperoreddy]

We got a brawl

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

**** the Islanders. Hopefully their faithful will be taking their bravado to the golf course in a couple of days.

 

[Bleedred]

Has Hawks/Preds started yet? These two games are pissing me off.

 

[Bleedred]

**** the Islanders. Hopefully their faithful will be taking their bravado to the golf course in a couple of days.

I'm mad at them for collapsing. They could have given the Rangers a run instead of laying down for them like the Capitals love to do.

It seems the Islanders are just laying down to the Capitals though.

I don't know why I'm surprised though, I picked the Capitals in 6 before the series started. Islanders were just trending downward late in the season.

I'm stuck with this avatar until the SCF ends, as per stipulation I made in the bet.

 

[Devils Dominion]

NYi injury list growing.

If they do advance the Rags will face a depleted NYi lineup.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Tampa SCORES!!!!!!!!

 

[TheUnseenHand]

There is that lightning skill. What a shot.

Actual Mrazek got out of the way. That was dumb.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Tyler Johnson and the shutout streak is over. Does this open the floodgates?
