SwampD Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Wow, another overtime game. Imagine that. Wash, rinse, repeat. Why not just play first goal wins, save us all the time. If you can't find enjoyment in watching that game then wtf are you watching hockey for? Edited April 23, 2017 by SwampD Quote
bunomatic Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 If you can't find enjoyment in watching that game then wtf are you watching hockey for? Agreed. Games have been great. Quote
Norcal Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Pacioretty shoulda got the extra two Radulov shoulda gotten a warning for goalie spray too. Saw it done last night in a game? Radulov is a special kind of . Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) If you can't find enjoyment in watching that game then wtf are you watching hockey for? I have them playing in the background. I hope, maybe, I'll come across a game that deviates from the norm just a little bit. It's just my opinion, but this has been the worst playoffs I have ever watched. Parity isn't always a good thing.

Randall Flagg Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 The games I have seen were pretty frickin good. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 I guess you are right. That 7-0 Sharks/Oilers game was riveting. To a point, it is. It's fun to see how teams can adjust to an ass-whipping. It's fun to see teams that have more talent actually win because they have more talent. I see nothing exciting about every game being decided by well placed penalties and lucky bounces. What's the sense? Quote

SwampD Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 I bet Therrien could have lost in the first round just as easily as Claude "Mr. Possession" Julien. Quote
Taro T Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Nashville won the trade That was clear the day the trade was made. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 I really think Montreal needs to look for a way to add some speed on defense :angel: Quote
Randall Flagg Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 I really think Montreal needs to look for a way to add some speed on defense :angel: Not having 7 fourth line forwards might do the trick as well! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Not having 7 fourth line forwards might do the trick as well! True, but I'd rather snark the trade tonight. PK Subban: bad leader, doesn't play defense Shea Weber: all-world leader, defensive stud Welp. Quote
bunomatic Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Two breakaway goals by Edmonton in a matter of minutes. 2-0 for the Oil. Apparently both teams have decided not to play defence Quote
Sabre fan Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 hard to think the Oil could win with McDavid getting just a goal and 2 assist (he added that empty netter late)...I somehow figured he'd have to score a bunch and lead the team to victory. The trade everybody hated (Larrson) is proof you gotta have that stud D...what a difference meanwhile, Montreal proves a great goalie isn't enough...big slow forwards isn't the key either...they need Duschene bad and if they have any brains they'd try to make that happen before Colorado come to their senses and realize they shouldn't trade the guy (if they still will) Minnesota a veteran team proves you gotta have young guys in here...Jason was awfully quiet in the series...

GoPre Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Who do you guys think is the favorite with Round 1 nearing completion? Anaheim, including the sweep over Calgary, is 12-0-2 in their last 14 games. St. Louis is 11-2-2 (played a 15th game by not sweeping Minnesota). Washington is 11-4-0, but they are struggling w/ Toronto. Pittsburgh dominated Columbus. Right now I'd put money on Anaheim and Pittsburgh being in the Stanley Cup Final. Leaning towards Anaheim taking it all. Quote

Gotta think guys like Thornton and Marleau are done. Didn't you just laugh at how far Nashville went in my bracket like a week ago? :nana: Captain Max Pacioretty, who many Habs fans say is part of the reason PK was traded, once again didn't do ###### when his team needed him. One point in six games, while his linemate and the team's best forward, Radulov, had seven. The dude is terrible and doesn't deserve the letter he has. During their epic collapse last year, for a two month stretch he didn't score a single goal that wasn't on an empty net. Montreal traded the wrong player. I hope PK goes and wins a cup.

3putt Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Bettman will do everything in his power to have a Crosby/ McDavid or Edm/Tor final. Rogers must be served. Quote

Nashville is just one of those teams I automatically write off. Turns out I might have been terribly wrong. Montreal could be in a real mess with the moves they've made. We've accused them of being Carey Price and not much else. It looks like that's true yet again. Quote

Bergevin is not a good GM Good analysis on Pac, Flagg. Never realized that Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 I miss Sabres playoff hockey. Quote
WildCard Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Posted April 23, 2017 Bowman kinda lost it when talking about the Hawks sweep, and promised changes; HC not included. His statement sounded even more angry than Murray's when discussing our season. Pretty wild to see the difference in standards Quote
