Trettioåtta Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I have placed £10 on Nashville winning it all, i hope they don't let me down! LA are looking very good this post season. Brown is a PPG player
deluca67 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 These 2nd round match-ups could not be any worse in my book. I actually can't remember worse games in a loooong time. The first couple of games in the second round have been some pretty good hockey to watch.
bunomatic Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 The first couple of games in the second round have been some pretty good hockey to watch. I agree. Parity seems to rule the day this playoff season. It seems an eight or seven seed in the playoffs isn't that far removed from a one or two seed. I'm kind of happy this second round isn't all about Crosby and we get exposed to other great young players.

I'm kind of happy this second round isn't all about Crosby and we get exposed to other great young players. I think it is fair to say that the Kings and Capitals don't have 8th seed and 7th seed talent respectively. Each team is loaded with stars. I am really looking forward to Fylers/Devils today. The Devils survived their first round match-up against the Panthers. They'll need to step their game up against Philly. Kovalchuk and Parise will need to have a greater impact this round for the Devils to win.
darksabre Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Time Warner outage in roch right now. Fortunately I have no interest in the Devils game so as long as they fix it by 8 I'm happy.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 The first couple of games in the second round have been some pretty good hockey to watch. I thought the Preds-Coyotes game was really entertaining, far more so than I would have predicted. However I found the Blues-Kings game to be pretty "meh" and the first two periods of Caps-Rags was some of the worst hockey I've watched all year (which really says something, seeing as I watched 82 Sabres games), although the 3rd was better.

The Devils survived their first round match-up against the Panthers. They'll need to step their game up against Philly. Kovalchuk and Parise will need to have a greater impact this round for the Devils to win. Definitely looking forward to the Flyers-Devils today I flat-out don't think the Devils have the defensemen to contend with they Flyers' forwards, but I do think they have enough firepower to make for an interesting and entertaining series.
Eleven Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Filly doing that thing with a live singer and a tape of Kate Smith simultaneously again. Sounds horrible.
Eleven Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Flyers announcers are just horrible. I have no idea whatsoever as to what is going on in the game. Just switched to NJD announcers. (I'm listening on iPad while at work.) Poor audio quality, which is surprising coming from an official NHL app. NJ has a female color commenter--I didn't know that until now. Unusual.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 I'm not sure if the Devils look great or the Flyers look terrible....but this game has had more action in 10 minutes than the Rags-Caps did in 40.

I can't hear a female voice? The NJ feed just sounds like they are bored (i am on gamecentre)

The NJ feed just sounds like they are bored (i am on gamecentre) You must be getting TV announcers, then. http://devils.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=42029 These radio announcers aren't bad (and usually are better than TV announcers when there's no picture), but the sound quality is horrible.
Randall Flagg Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Guess who? 1-1 halfway through the second, on his sixth goal in seven playoff games.
cdexchange Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Pretty exciting second with lots of good chances. Tied 2-2 heading into the 3rd...
Corp000085 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Briere kicked one in no goal in ot Briere got it back 2 minutes later. Clutch
Weave Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 A small part of me dies every time Briere scores a playoff goal.
qwksndmonster Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 A small part of me dies every time Briere scores a playoff goal. Roy's better.
Randall Flagg Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 A small part of me dies every time Briere scores a playoff goal. Now that time has worn away the pain, I actually can enjoy one of my first favorite players succeeding again. And regardless of who scored, that was a really fun game to watch.
Buffalo Wings Posted April 29, 2012 Report Posted April 29, 2012 Now that time has worn away the pain, I actually can enjoy one of my first favorite players succeeding again. And regardless of who scored, that was a really fun game to watch. Time still hasn't taken away that pain...in fact, my first thought had to do with July 1, 2007.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 A small part of me dies every time Briere scores a playoff goal. You must be a cat then.
bunomatic Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 A small part of me dies every time Briere scores a playoff goal. I was going to say a small part of me feels like I was kicked in the nuts everytime Briere scores but that would make my nuts small :blink: . As others have said watching him score clutch goals in important games is absolutely painful and a large reminder of the one Darcy let get away. Maybe thats why Darcy was fixated on drafting small speedy forwards for so long? He was trying to replace the one that got away.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 You must be a cat then. Even then, he'd still be dead about 5 times over ;) Am I the only one over the fact that he could still be here? It bothers me when he scores because he's a Flyer, not because the Sabres botched his extension. That said, a small part of me is hoping either Philly or Jersey makes it to the Cup because I find their brand of hockey much more entertaining than the alternative presented by the Caps and Rags. And yes, I feel obscenely dirty that part of me feels that way.

Iron Crotch Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Man, Phoenix looks pretty darn good. ...just as you posted that, Kostitsyn scored for the Preds! But yeah, Phoenix is fired up in the first.
