NHL 2016 - The Quest For The Cup

[Josh Mann 2,073]

I expect Blues fans to take this loss with the class and decorum that we have all come to expect from St Louis fans.

Aaaaaand as I'm writing this, they're throwing bottles. You do you, St. Louis.

[The Man Known as Dan 3,473]

I was working, but, really, what can you say? This might be the only time the Blues have had a series with a major team in recent years were we were actually the better team, and the refs just took it from "Blackhawks on there heels, Blues with a chance to push forward" to "Hawks getting home ice advantage against a Blues team about to go into panic mode"

But what the fuck ever at this point.

[RIPPA 30,143]

Well that period went better than the first one

[Tabe 1,914]

Lots of nastiness and cheap shots already in Detroit vs Tampa. Mix that in with some truly terrible officiating and you get a wild, bloody brawl like we saw last night. 

[RIPPA 30,143]

Okay - feel much better now

[Death From Above 3,876]

That Steve Mason blooper should live forever.

 

It didn't bobble, it didn't weave, nothing. It just very slowly went in the net. That's an all-timer.

[RIPPA 30,143]

I mean at this point the Flyers should just forfeit the series

I'm in on anybody but Chicago or LA to break up their stranglehold but it would be nice if either San Jose or St. Louis went all the way. Like, how close would we be to earth imploding if either of those teams faced Washington in the finals? Only saw highlights of game 1 but I'm watching game 2 right now and SJ looks legit. No holes in their game. Blues in a must win already isn't a good look and they'll have to overcome last game's shenanigans.

Since i dont think Wings are a realistic choice, i think Caps v Ducks would be my narrative choice for best final.

[Dolfan in NYC 13,557]

God damn, the Panthers-Isles series is just zipping along. Game 3 tonight.   

Let's go cats!

[Oyaji 8,045]

This game is the Monte Ellis of hockey games: it have it all.

[odessasteps 11,667]

To borrow a phrase from the footy thread 

 

come on you blues

[Oyaji 8,045]

Tavares is going to have 20 points in the first round if this goes 7.

[sabremike 2,394]

Overtime here in Brooklyn. I've been to 5 playoff OT's in my life and the home team has only won once.

[sabremike 2,394]

Isles first playoff date in Brooklyn ends with a Hickey!!!

[Dolfan in NYC 13,557]

I missed Oscar the Grouch on John Oliver for that.   

Fuck, I hate hockey. Good night. 

[Death From Above 3,876]

I feel real good about my Nashville over Anaheim pick. Real bad about a few others.

[Oyaji 8,045]

If not for the 2007 finals where Getzlaf and Perry largely rode on the coattails of two HOF defencemen, bona fide #1 centre ANDY MCDONALD(~~~!!!~11~!!!!!), playoff legend Dustin Penner, and some guy named Teemu, these Ducks should be anointed as the new flat track bullies/paper tigers come spring replacing the Sharks (and a lesser extent the Blues). I also like how the playoff ineptitude of Kesler and Bieksa migrated south with them. Can't wait for Kesler to totally not use as an excuse whatever injury he immediately discloses to the press in about a week's time. Playoff warryur.

[Death From Above 3,876]

Samuel Pahlsson played totally out of his mind in those playoffs too and suddenly became the best shutdown forward of all time for like 2 months.

[Charlie M. 1,849]

It would be kinda amazing if Washington and San Jose wound up in the Final this year like five years after everyone thought it should happen.

I am not a betting man but if I was I'd bet anything on the Flyers winning that game.

Apparently the Flyers hate Ed Snider. Lots of shots, but this has been a pretty piss poor effort.

[elizium 1,705]

...and there's the sixth.

Stupid Lucic is stupid.
