elizium Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The 2nd best part about tonight was the dude from Boston at the bar slowly falling into despair as the Panthers games got later and later. The Bruins and Penguins battling to see who does the biggest bed shitting has been so fun to watch. Go Sens go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbojustice Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The west is so awful this year the third most likeable playoff team is Minnesota. God help us all. I get a lot of people can find love in their heart for the Flames but obviously I cannot do that. The first two most likeable are... Chicago and Nashville? Hard to complain about a Calgary/Vancouver first round match-up in my books. Oh yeah, also... THE CALGARY FLAMES ARE IN THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS!!! Knocking off LA and Darryl Sutter is some poetic justice, after the way he scuttled the team before his unceremonious removal as GM. (Though I must admit I do have some begrudging respect for him left over from 03/04. But still, this feels gooooood.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 No matter what happens in the next week or two I think Maurice did a great job with the team. If SOMEHOW SOMEWAY Pavelec continues the miracle run and the Jets can smarten up when it comes to dumb penalties - they certainly have the ability to win a round or two. Already waiting for the certain articles about NHL playoff ratings being down across the board in the U.S. thanks to 4 (possibly 5) Canadian teams making it in & Bruins/Kings/maybe Penguins missing out.

elizium Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Apparently Jets fans are crowd surfing and singing O Canada. No jynx. Nineteen years. Whatever happens, this is great. It's fantastic having an NHL team back, but its better to have a team that matters. Just don't get swept, that's all I want. They should bring back Khabibulin to drop the puck at the first home game, he's pretty much the reason they made the playoffs last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 All fun of being a Blues homer aside, Buff's crosscheck and Backes' crosscheck were really not similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So, I guess we can expect Backes to get 4 games for crosschecking Stuart in the neck twice at the end of the Jets/Blues game?The "Department of Player Safety" reviewed the video, and decided that crosschecking a dude in the back of the neck is okay if the puck is near him. I guess the added rubber in the area takes away from the danger to someone's neck.I gotta be honest, I don't see that as suspension worthy. 2 minutes or 4 minutes, nothing more.Don't worry about it, it's what they do: Whine about how the Blues are pure evil while having a complete inability to realize there team isn't exactly clean. Oh, the Jets are definitely not a clean team, they have a well deserved rep for shenanigans. I think 4 games was a bit harsh, but I fully believe that Buff should have been suspended. Doesn't change the fact that the Backes crosscheck was exactly the same, save for the fact that the puck was somewhere in the vicinity. Same general idea but the one by Backes wasn't even remotely the same severity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy Me a Burrito Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I am glad Ottawa won. I really don't like Boston, but part of me hopes Pittsburgh misses the playoffs. Why? Because fuck Jim Rutherford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn down being an instant millionaire to play 3 more years for free and risk suffering a career ending injury and be left with nothing. Makes all the sense in the world to me.

Jiji Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Tampa still has something to play for: a win over Boston and a Montreal loss to Toronto (lol) and TBL wins the division. Buffalo will likely have this guy in net for the Penguins game: Heads up for those that care: SportsNet has the Senators game on for the entire country and it starts in 10 minutes. We also could still get that STL/WIN series but the Blues have to beat Minny and Anaheim has to lose in Arizona (lol). Lots of other seeding possibilities on the line today.

Death From Above Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Tyler Seguin has been benched tonight as an in-house suspension for his lateness, so Nashville really have no excuses there unless Jamie Benn goes full Hulk Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I screwed up (IT'S STILL EARLY HERE) - it's Anaheim that matters now, not Nashville. Also, I can't believe that a win for Calgary and a regulation loss for Vancouver means they'll have home ice for the series. Also, Tyler Seguin is the worst and has the mind of a 14-year-old boy from everything we know about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Calgary's resting half their team. Either they belive the Jets are all hung over, or they don't give any shits about home ice for the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
