2016 Second round of playoffs thread

[TrueBlueGED]

Wow! What an exceptionally dumb penalty by the good Weber.

[Thorner]

Haha, reopening a cut doesn't count for the double

Pp goal or triple OT

Gaustad is a PK beast.

[TrueBlueGED]

Oh myyyyyy. Can't do that, Shea.

Lucky he only got 2.

I really hate how the 2/4 is determined. That was worse than a lot of high sticks that get 4 minutes.

I'm not opposed to Mike Weber coming out in Shea Weber's jersey to try to end this early in OT3. Tomorrow is going to suck, but at this point I'm invested.

[Thorner]

Who would we rather have as our 3rd line C? Gaustad or who we got for him, Girgensons?

 

I suppose we choose Larsson. Much younger than Goose.

[Iron Crotch]

3rd OT. Still in my seat, but fans are bailing out left and right. Only about half the fans left I'd say.

Exactly, can't quit when you are this far in.

 

I hate the 2/4 distinguishing factor as well. It's kind of like how suspensions are so often determined not by the act, but by if an injury results.

Maybe they are just going for some intermission pretzels and a coke to fuel up?

I'd rather have Gaustad than Legwand as our 4C. No, I don't care that that's not what you asked :p

I don't understand this. With any kind of a normal job you're getting a terrible night's sleep regardless. Is 5 hours really that much better than 4?

[Iron Crotch]

Got an Amped energy drink. 16 ounces. Now my heart is racing. Go Preds (although the Sharks are dominating).

Fantastic breakaway save. Getting our money's worth, here.

 

Weber again. WTH are you thinking today, man. Gonna owe his teammates some beers if they get out of this with a win.

 

Does Cuthbert say "one of the best passers in NHL history" every time Thornton makes a pass? Lol

 

Awesome. I love when the home team wins in these situations. Crowd deserved it. Seemed mighty loud right till the end.

 

Amazing game. Mr. Underwood with the goal.

Good win by Preds

[TrueBlueGED]

I don't know if I fell asleep before the OT started, but I definitely didn't see the goal. Worst case scenario: get little sleep and miss the end. Bleh.

[Eleven]

I think SJ got screwed, but it was a tough call to make.

[That Aud Smell]

Very tough call. To my eye, the SJ player was mostly responsible for that contact with the goalie. So I thought the call was the right one.

Yea, I thought he was going to crash into Rinne without the assist from Gaustad.

[darksabre]

Gaustad made contact but Pavelski was on his skates and not falling when he crashed into Rinne. He simply came in too hot and didn't do his job to avoid the goalie. Goose wasn't even near him at the end of that sequence. He had enough time to stop.

[Iron Crotch]

That was the longest game in Preds history. The arena seemed to get a second wind in the third overtime. It was surprisingly loud in Period #6. I think everyone was a little loopy from lack of sleep.

[dEnnis the Menace]

went to bed as game was in third.  Woke up to feed boys, game was starting OT3.  Not too shabby haha.  

[Norcal]

Bernier with the cross check to Bishops neck, no call wth?

[darksabre]

Islanders were gifted a PP. Home ice advantage I guess.

i'm jealous of your playoff hockeying

Cooper looked like he smelled a really bad fart after the goal.

I just assumed that's what Brooklyn smelled like.

[Randall Flagg]

NYI now a MFT?

 

In all seriousness, they've been given all kinds of help from bad calls this playoffs.

Except for when Boyle was allowed to annihilate Hickey with a late, high hit right before he scored the OT winner in the last game.

 

NYI vs. TBL has been my favorite series this round (I've basically missed all of NSH vs. SJ and WSH vs. PIT).

Forgot about that, but that doesn't make up for Game 6 last series alone :P
