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

Meanwhile this Chicago vs Nashville game continues to be crazy

 

[Bleedred]

versteeg and Weiss have had steep declines since the 2012 playoffs.

What? Who?

The Flames will be a pain in the ass to play against even the next round. They have a high compete level and block around 30 shots a game. Also play well in the third period. I hope Vancouver wins a game or two to make the series at least interesting. Will be tough to pull this game for them.

Anaheim is like a more experienced Calgary. That should be insane with lots of momentum swings and almost every other shot being a goal. And 3rd period outbursts like crazy.

This Darling story is fascinating.
Former Nashville farmhand who comes out of nowhere to potentially defeat his former team.

I'm curious how many North American born players both teams have. Would be rather high.

Been a great year for goalies that's for sure.

And he battled alcoholism. He really is the best story of the playoffs so far. Good for him

Chicago was smart and extended him early and cheap, too.

If I were a Minnesota or Ottawa fan, I'd worry about my team committing too much money or too much salary on the back end of 4-5 months of hot goaltending.

 

[Devils Dominion]

We DON'T want Kane to get hit.

Also Rinne and Price have been playing well.

Good to hear guys like him and Tootoo have overcome their personal demons.

It must be something about this series. TWO panes of glass were knocked out during the last game in Chicago

It's dawning on me that we're nearing the end of the games all night, every night phase of the playoffs. Slowly inching towards nights where we have to watch Milbury and Roenick instead of being able to flip over to a different game.

1st round is always so great, even when the hockey is underwhelming.
Hope we can at least get something like last year when we got 3 game 7s on the same night.

You can still watch the Canadian feed if you can't stand Milbury and Roenick.

I think Cbc streams on their website.

You can always turn on Canucks vs Flames.

Flames only have 9 shots on goal (and Vancouver has 22 and 0 goals LOL)

Once the Flames get some more shots, it might be pin the tail on the donkey for Miller.

Or more like put the puck in the back of Miller's net. Quite a few schmucks can probably do that with a blindfold too.

I give Stevie Wonder a 50% chance of scoring a goal in super score-o on the current day Ryan Miller.

I have some transcribing I need to get done in the next couple of weeks, I think I'm going to save it for intermissions in the next round

Oh, I've absolutely been avoiding the Chi/Nash intermission with the Van/Cgy game.
These games are so oddly lopsided it adds another level of amusement.

At least the lights didn't go out yet

 

[Bleedred]

Canucks power play this series looks like it's ran by it's own hydra.

Looks like what a PP would look like with Mike Shaw, Mike Foligno, and John MacLean all having a hand in it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

How didn't he even get a shot off there?!?

 

[manilaNJ]

over/under on how long it takes Chicago to tie this back up... set it at 3 minutes?

 

[DenisSamson3]

Goal Canucks.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Whoa WTF happened in this game?

Shhh, Manila.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Looks like a game 6 for Chicago and Nashville.
