NHL 2016 - The Quest For The Cup

[The Man Known as Dan 3,295]

Is this playoffs gonna end with the Sharks vs. The Blues in a "Loser never ever reaches the cup finals ever again"

[sabremike 2,094]

From the "I can't fucking believe this happened" file: apparently a fan hit Denis Potvin (who does color for the Panthers) with a beer. Yes, THAT Denis Potvin. You talk about bad karma? Isles are fucked.

[The Man Known as Dan 3,295]

Also, were does Joe Pavelski rank on the most underrated players in the NHL from this century? Cause he's got 3 straight 70 point seasons, 2 of which were at 78 or higher, Yet his name never comes up with elite players.

[Death From Above 3,656]

Pavelski is fucking awesome. I have him in a dynasty fantasy hockey league and I will never let him go until he's old and broken down.

After 2 nights ago in Philly nothing surprises me.

Now people who witnessed the incident are claiming that it was a Panthers fan who threw the beer at an Isles fan and missed. I hope this is the case because an Isles fan throwing that beer would just be the lowest thing possible.

Is like how some flyers fans said it was Caps fans throwing the bracelets on the ice?

[odessasteps 10,801]

I hope Rippa was too sad about Prince to watch the Rangerstonight. 

[RIPPA 28,780]

I turned it off at 2-0

I mean what would a playoffs be without the Rangers going down 3-1 in a Series

Of course - I don't expect them to come back this time

[Niners Fan in CT 12,338]

Why did the Penguins suck for 80% of the season.

[Tabe 1,809]

Probably the last game for the Magic Man in a Red Wings jersey. Not a great one to go out on  Will be an interesting off-season for Detroit as they have a lot of holes. Tons of forwards that are either afraid to shoot, take too long to shoot, or miss the net when they do. Defensemen that turn over the puck constantly and are terrible positionally.  There are bright spots - Peter Mrazek was all-world in goal for 2/3 of the season, Dylan Larkin was an All-Star for half a season, Athanasiou might be even better, and there are more talented rookies coming. They need probably 3, maybe 4, guys on defense and have to somehow rearrange the lines so Zetterberg plays like 6 minutes a night. 

Should be an interesting final year at the Joe!

I'm calling Stamkos to Detroit right now. Live near home without any of the pressure, continue a proud tradition, and he's a big upgrade on Datsyuk/fills a need. Plus these mandatory Detroit/TBL series would be off the chance.

This game in St. Louis rules! Hitch's conservative ice times for his big boys is going to pay off in 2nd OT. The longer this goes, the better for the Blues. They controlled long stretches of the first OT.

[Dewar 2,068]

Damned Canook fans still hating on the Hawks....

I want more Hawks/Blues. This series is fun.

[Oyaji 6,901]

Wow, you got your wish.

[The Man Known as Dan 3,295]

Thought we played a great game late, and of course it ends up not mattering.

 

And now every single shred of pressure is on the Blues.

[Oyaji 6,901]

They've played two great games in Chicago, so I think they'll be fine. They'll be fine, right?

[The Man Known as Dan 3,295]

As my brother in our Blues/Canucks fandoms of misery, what do you think?

[Dewar 2,068]

you both know the answer....

I've been hoping for Stamkos for over a year.  He would be an awesome addition.

The Hawks announcer Pat Foley is my new hero after his on air roasting of the NHL for the ridiculous 8:45pm start times (particularly on work/school nights). Those are total bullshit, particularly for those who bought tickets and he deserves a medal for calling the league and tv people out.

[Death From Above 3,656]

Stamkos to Detroit or Montreal would not surprise me nearly as much as Stamkos to Toronto which still doesn't make very much goddamn sense at all outside of the imagination of a few overly excitable media people.

[odessasteps 10,801]

I had figured Montreal all along. I would not mind if he came to Detroit.

[hammerva 3,585]

Right now the most used name in DC right now is Halak because  Michael Neuvirth  is giving Caps fans some serious bad flashbacks.  Flyers have 8 shots and one goal because it was kicked by a Caps.  Still in the lead

The Caps are halfway to Ultimate Capping.
