Fire Lindy Ruff NOW Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 dont look now but phoenix is RECKING IT. not over yet, but phoenix is already amazing this year to me win or lose. LETS GO DOGS!
dEnnis the Menace Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 I really don't care for any of the teams left in the East, I just hope whoever comes out on top in the West wins it all.
Iron Crotch Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 What was that Nashville D man thinking when he threw that puck from behind the net over the crossbar to the crease? Bonehead move if I've ever seen one a la Steve Smith. I'm pretty sure that was David Legwand the original Predator (team's first ever draft pick) chucking the puck into the crease from behind the net. Fantastically stupid play!
TrueBlueGED Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 For those still lamenting Briere being gone, I thought this was an interesting perspective: http://www.nickmendo...drives-me-nuts/ And some interesting stats on Briere this postseason: He's scoring 3.38 goals/60 minutes, but is on the ice for 6.08 goals against/60. And this is with an offensive zone start of 77.4% (and he has an offensive zone finish of 54.7%, roughly meaning he has difficulty maintaining possession in the offensive zone). Lastly, Philly's save% when Briere is on the ice is .816, 3rd worst on the team. Briere may be a clutch/opportunistic goal scorer, but he's not Jesus. Edit: I should note, those stats are for even strength only.

Fire Lindy Ruff NOW Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 whats with everyone saying he was trash in phoenix? he wasnt THAT bad honestly... had 32 goals for them the one year. and how could you blame him if he was bad in phoenix anyway? he had nobody else on that team. unfortunately sean burke couldnt be a beast in net and score goals...

Every team in the league passed him over when Phoenix put him on waivers. Safe to say no one expected him to become the player he is now.

darksabre Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 then the rest of the league was idiots and WE werent. We passed on him too...it wasn't until after we traded for him that anyone recognized he might be something. We're we idiots or just lucky?

millbank Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 interesting Hunter has OV's behind almost glued to bench. Giving him very little ice time... just about made it 3 - 1 though
TrueBlueGED Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Mike Green sucks in the playoffs. And this Caps-Rangers series has potential to go down as the most boring I've ever actually spent my time watching. So why watch, you ask? So I can tell my Ranger friend how terrible his team is to watch with first hand knowledge.

So I can tell my Ranger friend how terrible his team is to watch with first hand knowledge. With all of the great first-round games, it's going to be very easy to be disappointed through the next couple of rounds. I don't think we'll see hockey as entertaining as it was last week until next year. Just a prediction, and certainly not a hope.

Let's just all thank our lucky stars that all that goonery, nay, criminal thugery is behind us. ... yes, that's sarcasm.
darksabre Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 LA just dominating St. Louis right now. I don't think anyone saw this coming.
Fire Lindy Ruff NOW Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 la is something else right now. ya know it seems like they really should score lots of goals with all that talent. and that quick is plain phenomenal.

You're right, I wish more players like Alfredsson and Hossa would miss games from getting their heads crushed. Those were the good ole days. That, too, was sarcasm. LA just dominating St. Louis right now. I don't think anyone saw this coming. I'm not sure if Brian Elliott finally remembered he was Brian Elliott, or if losing Pietrangelo killed the Blues D that much. But yea, never saw a 4-0 game coming.
bunomatic Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 I'm pretty sure that was David Legwand the original Predator (team's first ever draft pick) chucking the puck into the crease from behind the net. Fantastically stupid play! And today is the anniversary of Steve Smith putting the puck in his own net behind Grant Fuhr. Kind of ironic but Legwand still has a chance to redeem himself .
Iron Crotch Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 4-1 now in St. Louis. I don't think the Blues are set up to come back from a 4-goal deficit, but at least I have a reason to keep watching! Edit: Just as I write the above, goal Kings! 5-1!

darksabre Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Kings Coyotes sounds good to me. Hope I didn't just jinx them. I think that's be fun. Easily the two more offensively talented teams in those matchups. The Blues can't buy a PP goal, with the Kings practically giving it to them. Crazy.
SwampD Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 You're right, I wish more players like Alfredsson and Hossa would miss games from getting their heads crushed. Those were the good ole days. That, too, was sarcasm. There was a lot of crying going on last round, crying about more than just those two hits. If a little more boring hockey is what it takes to silence that, then I guess that's a good thing, right?
LGR4GM Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 L.A. is continuing to make an impact and our my pick for cup winners. Quick, Brown, Kopitar, and Richards make that a team built to do 1 thing, win.
