Am I the only one that fucking hates white outs when the team the people in white are cheering for are actually not in white, but the opposing team is? Confusing for my wife to understand.

I hate them, too. They make the fans look retarded. Thank god Philly fans wear the home team's colors.

Radulov is the Yotes Manchurian candidate.

Bettman has his boys getting all the breaks. :lol

Since Phoenix is owned by NHL, can bettman hoist the cup if they win it all? That would be so hilarious to see him skating around celebrating with the cup over his head

He should. He's done a great job of surrounding Phoenix's 20 fans with fans he's flown in from Vancouver, Pittsburgh and Boston.

[HadesGigas]

If Phoenix wins the cup in Phoenix, would it be the first time Bettman isn't booed by the fans during the presentation? Or would even they still boo him?

...

the photoshops, my god

and the tshirts

Actually, I guess that means all 30 owners would get cup rings

EDIT: I guess, in a way, that would mean the season ended in a "draw". lol

[Desibabu]

Just got home. So pretty much no one's playing the trap huh?

[Revenant]

checks on score for the first time just now




disappointed Preds.

[cube444]

Pull Rinne here.

[Dastardly Jerks]

The new CBA should state that no NHL venue is allowed to play Motley Crue after this season.

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME EVER. OVER. FUCKING. PLAYED. TO. ALL. HELL.

It's the new Pantera - Walk.

Also any song made in the last 10 years.

[Stubo]

Well, a big job to do in the home games, but keep your spirit up Sef, it's still very possible.

Edit: Going to sleep now, almost 4am here.

[CrazedArabMan]

Yotes are the big deal aren't they?

[Ether_Snake]

Awwrrooooooooooooooooooooo!

It made more sense when home teams wore white.

Yotes are trollin.

What about that disturbed song?

OOOO AH AH AH AH

[Dastardly Jerks]

Isn't there some shitty Crysler ad currently happening in Canada/US where a family is singing that exact intro? Painful double combo.

[HadesGigas]

They sure hammer that dog howl button after a win.

[Puddles]

Remember when the Kings were the 3rd seed, and I expressed shock that anyone would want to tank to 6th to draw the Kings instead of playing the Predators? And everyone replied like I was an idiot, and clearly the Predators were the team to avoid?

Feels good, man.

[cube444]

Preds are still going to win this series.

[Quick]

It made more sense when home teams wore white.

Pretty much, but I ain't even mad. If it's been a team tradition for ages, then why change? In Phoenix's case, it's taking it from Winnipeg (trollol). On the flipside, I love Calgary's Sea (C?) of Red and Nashville's Sea of Piss.

The Raptors tried their own red out when they played the Nets in the playoffs in 07. Nets trolled by wearing their red alternate jerseys.

Pray tell how much Predators hockey you've actually watched up until now?

[sefskillz]

awoooooooooo

i think preds getting the matchups at home is gonna be huge. im just bummed about the breaks the yotes have gotten in the series, everything seems to be goin their way w/ the bounces. they're earning it though, never seen a forecheck that disrupts the preds this much. so many turnovers and pressure just leading to dumb plays from the preds

[Leeness]

Okay, so this is my first year of being a real hockey fan and not just a bandwagon jumper.

So...what is a "trap" and "trap teams"?

[Cake Boss]

Looking at Yotes roster, I still don't get how they are in the playoffs, let alone a 2-0 series lead in the 2nd round of playoffs. Tippet is a monster.

[Leeness]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_zone_trap

Aaaaah. I understand now. Thanks!

[Montresor]

Nashville... ugh.

[Vilam]

Sucks to lose in overtime huh? Good, fuck the Devils.

[Socreges]

Apparently this is only the seventh time since the lockout that all series in Round 2 have started at 1-0.

[CrazedArabMan]

I see what you did there.

Only a couple more years and you'll be a "lifelong" fan!

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I don't see how Tippet isn't a top 3 coach in the league. Just getting to the playoffs 3 years in a row while not having an owner should automatically make you the best. Now he wins the division and winning so far in the 2nd round.

Preds are still going to win this series.

um... nope.

[Pochacco]

A Kings vs Flyers final would be pretty good.

[BigJonsson]

Coyotes vs Devils


Battle of the bankrupt

[Socreges]

I really do think that the Rangers are going to win the ECF (against the Flyers).

Huh?

[filler]

Go Kings! Yes, I am a bandwagon fan, but I've been watching games here and there from these playoffs. Hockey is finally starting to make sense to me and I now rank it above baseball, but still below football and basketball.

[BigJonsson]

*WOOSH* Huh?

early cancellation fees

[Quick]

Coyotes vs Devils Battle of the bankrupt

I.

Declare.

BANKRUPTCY!

[Alucard]

Kings vs. Flyers would be interesting for the Richards/Carter storyline.

What's up with Phoenix? Man. Please knock them out this round, sef.

[Solo]

Preds bangwagon is half as heavy this morning.

[scissorfight]

preds are taking a page out of the sharks' playbook - you can't make beating the wings your 'stanley cup final' and then roll over the next round.

i expect a big effort in games 3 and 4.

[Kave_Man]

Eff the haters I loved the sea of red. People were stupid to think that led to the Nets winning the series. Oklahoma city did the same thing this year (a sea of blue) and the Mavs counted by wearing their traditional blue jerseys.

Leafs need to do a sea of green. All the fans just wave their money in the area and then MLSE swoops in and just vacuums up everything.

[jacket320]

um... nope.

Don't underestimate Tippett's power to choke the series away. Yotes look inspired though, so it may be out of his hands.
