First Round Playoff Thread

[Derrico]

Anyone know if we have a rooting interest in any of these games based on draft pick positions? I don't think so, but am too lazy to look it up.

 

There's a decent chance we end up with the Wild pick so we don't want them making it to the Conference finals.

Still lots of x Sabres players in the playoff mix

 

Game seven: Rick Nash alone in front of Mason from ten feet , save glove side.. lol Eat it Blue.

There's a team in one of the Carolina's?

How the hell did the Rangers not score in that mad scramble mid-way through the second?

Because Alain Vigneault is a ######.

Strangers look like they want it more. The tale of two nights.

One of the flyers just pulled a Lucic with his stick gettin intimate with a Rangers balls in front of the Philly net. Dirty bastard.

I swear to Allah if anyone ever does that to me in a game, I'm going to rip their helmet off, bust four of their teeth out, then wear them like trophies on a necklace.

Insyaallah

[IKnowPhysics]

Or that one. Whichever.

The Rags are relentless

 

Or that one. Whichever.

 

I believe that means God willing

This game got good. The only thing that would make it better is... beer.

Flyers are coming on now. Berube must have LOST it between periods.

Just went out and grabbed some. ;)

 

I think the Rangers hold on 2-1 to snag an empty netter at the end to make it 3-1, King Henrik is going to win this one for them.

I'm much more excited for the Colorado game anyways, and to see if the Sharks can avoid being what we thought they were

One hell of a performance by Mason, even if he loses. What a game he has had!

 

Come on, someone Drury this thing!

[Iron Crotch]

Weird that when the puck got stuck to the outside of the net, the faceoff came outside the blue line. I don't understand why that is the rule.

Alain Vigneault's gut…it's full of dirty old cheeseburgers...

If the offensive team was last to touch puck before it gets stuck, face off moves outside the zone.

 

The Legion of Doom is done! Now to focus the mojo against Boston.

[Iron Crotch]

That was fun. Kings - Sharks next on NBCSN. Puck just dropped in the Avs - Wild game on CNBC.

[WildCard]

Duchene is too nice, so quick.

 

Are they looking at that one because the net came off? I thought the net had to be totally off the hinges to be disallowed?

Oh, and for the "who do you hate" thing, in no particular order:

 

Boston, Filly, Ottawa, all teams south of the Mas.-Dix. line except St. Louis, and whichever of PIttsburgh-Rags is more likely to collapse and upset their fans.

 

The last rule operated tonight; I wanted Filly to win just to watch the Rags fans get all upset. When it's two teams that I hate, that's the tie-breaker.

[Iron Crotch]

Ref clearly waived off the goal in the Avs game then apparently changed his mind.

I'm all over that Wild game for the first, but then, ugh, early morning tomorrow. But I will have a tele-watch thing with a friend from Saint Paul on the phone, so that's cool.
