First Round Playoff Thread

Great. Both games go to intermission at same time. Good job NHL!

Lol I was just commenting on that, kinda sucks

[Wyldnwoody44]

And pommerz with the empty net to seal the deal!!!! Game 7 here we come

[Andrew Amerk]

Getting a Game 7 for Avs-Wild.

Man, I really don't like that call on the second LA goal. How can you push the goalie with your stick and have it be a goal? I thought that was illegal?

It is, unless the league is gunning for a Kings-Ducks series.

Man, if the Blues fans thought they had it bad, they need to watch San Jose, who are on the verge of an epic collapse.

They'll need to blow more than a 3-goal lead in Game 7 to beat the 2010 Bruins collapse.

That Bruin collapse was magnificent, however them winning it the next season kinda takes most of the fun out of it.

It's fitting that Columbus played Pittsburgh because if you've ever heard their radio guy, he's blatantly imitating Mike Lange. Scratchy voice? Slow drawn out call of goals followed up by a nonsensical statement? He's got it all.

The Sharks have to be the biggest choke artists I have seen in recent memory. What a shame, I actually like them but LA deserves to win now...

I gotta admit though - I was rooting for the Bruins over Vancouver. Tim Thomas played crazy good in the Cup series. And as much as I dislike Boston and Boston fans, even they didn't go on a collective rioting rampage after losing to Chicago last year, as did the Vancouver fans when they lost to Boston.

Any scratch my back with a hacksaw calls?

[Hoss]

Have to assume McClellan gets the boot if San Jose's collapse is finished with a game seven loss, right? Among other big changes in San Jose.

[MattPie]

How the hell do you allow two empty net goals? I don't think I ever saw that before.

 

While not playoffs, didn't the Sabres allow 4 against Carolina in the 90s (but still won 5-4)? If I remember right, Canes pulled the GT with 5 minutes left down 5-0.

Not sure about that, but there's always this ridiculous circumstance from 1970: http://www.greatesthockeylegends.com/2013/04/five-empty-net-goals-in-one-game.html

[Samson's Flow]

Colorado's shown some poise in overcoming a 2-goal deficit on the road.

 

If they win the series, which I think they will, I think they're going to get absolutely mauled by Chicago.

Quite possible, given the youth of the Avs top 6. That said, I will tune in to watch that MacKinnon/Landeskog/Stasny line all day. Exciting stuff.

LOL, I don't recall the specific game, but if something like that happened, why would I expect it to be against Ron Rolston's Sabres? :w00t:

Wayne Simmonds, three goals from the same spot on the ice. Nice

[Norcal]

Mason has been outstanding tonight

[That Aud Smell]

Emmerick (Emrick?) just said "those remaining" were on their feet for Mason after that nice glove stop + snow angel.

 

Philly fans have left to beat the traffic with their team up in a game 6 and headed to a 7?! For shame.

impressive amount of hats thrown onto the ice after that one

I was thinking that too

If you wanna beat the traffic, stay in your seat for 20 minutes after the game. What a bunch of rubes.

Thank you, NHL schedulers. We have a blowout in the only series that no one outside of these two markets could even give a sneeze about, and it's the only game tonight.

Try that at FN'C sometime. I've had them try to kick my out of my suite 10 minutes after. (This did not go well for the personnel involved. It did go well for my guests, and it went poorly for me, who had to babysit their drunken ###### for another 35.)

 

But in the seats? You're out.

[JJFIVEOH]

I can't describe the pain involved in having to root for the Flyers tomorrow.
