The east could be NY-NJ and Boston-Philly which would make up for it.

I'm hopin' for a Ottawa-Florida and Philly-Washington round 2. Don't want to play Boston or Philly next round.

This is the first time these playoffs I've actually felt gleeful. I've got a smirk I just know a few people on this board would want to slap off my face. It glorious.

 

[Cagey]

Gonna be:

Rangers vs Devils

Bruins vs Flyers

Not happening. We've gone on vacation for large chunks of all five games so far.

I expect they'll win Parise's Last Home Game and then meekly bow out in Game 7 with some shit 1 goal on 35 harmless shots performance.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Fine we'll throw in Emmerton too to make it fair, and we'll take Kane or Sharp.

Unfortunately I think we might be getting Stuart. His family still lives out here and he's said he wants to be much closer to them.

Stuart had a good regular season, but man was he easily our worst D man in the playoffs.

We'll throw in Sharp if you throw in Zetterberg.

I post enough (note the almost instant Canucks jabs regarding my comments).

Yuuuuuuuuup, but if it manages to get to game 7 of course anything can happen. I think we win in NJ though

Marcie, do you think the Hawks should stick with Crawford next year?

That's what most Flyer fans want, too. I know I do. Any team will be tough, but I'm sick of playing Boston and NY.

Nah it's like an assumption based on the levels of salt in ones post :>

 

[Revenant]

they will.

 

[railGUN]

? Gleeful smirks are badass now?

 

[Barrage]

I think people are underestimating how much bandwagon support in the States the Kings could recieve if they continue to advance. Especially with the teams they're playing, and the fact that Flyers-Kings is possibly the most interesting SC Match-Up still possible.

The NHL isn't like the NBA, where you know that somehow, someway a big market-or-star-laden team is making it to the final. Edmonton-Carolina showed me that.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Change that to Franzen and you have yourself a deal!

 

[Hunter S.]

To much fucken parity in the league after the salary cap implementation. Ushered in the dark days of winning the cup off of lucky hot streaks.

But Franzen is the hardest worker on our team, come on now.

 

[Future Foundation]

So Barry Melrose's cup final is shot to hell. No Chicago, no Pittsburgh.

Judging from what I saw of the Wings in the playoffs, that's not saying much.

Dang, you have discovered the truth!!

And actually he was one of the least hardest workers the entire series if not the end of the regular season as well.

 

[DopeyFish]

Since lockout, every team has made the playoffs except the leafs



Sounds like its working

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Shane Doan and the Yotes lettin dat confidence out.

 

[Hunter S.]

except that you still have to get INTO the playoffs

That will never change. Hopefully the randomness of each years victor does sometime.\

I mean when I have to abandon the West for exciting Philly you know things are getting bad in here. Something in the air smells like no goals hockey and it equals no one watching or caring.

lol leafs

Lucky hot streaks? :lol This thread is going to shit.

Awesome. Fuck you Melrose.

PDB is running the 1st line into the ground. If you see it Dineen cycles lines quickly when the 1st line is out. Hence the flurry of goals, their pace isn't sustainable.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Quenneville choking up a bit as he talks about Hossa. "He hasn't felt very well at all."

Well fuuuuccckkk yoooouuu Raffi Torres.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Time to join the trail of tears blackhawks. But hey you can still cry about traps.

just getting an early start before the blues.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

They'll make it to the finals and then lose like they did for 3 straight years a long while ago.

The primary problem with the top line is the widely held belief that Trollvalchuk's nursing an injury that hasn't been disclosed yet. His skating speed is down considerably in the past few weeks (including the last ~two weeks of the regular season). With that, DeBoer is still giving Kovy minutes that'd wear out most defensemen.

 

[RC]

As happy as I'am to see Chicago eliminated. I'm equally unhappy about all the trapping teams advancing. Doesn't bode well for the future.

 

[Marvie_3]

lolno I doubt they even get by LA.

 

[endresults]

I'm sorry to see the Hawks go, if only because their NHLgaf fans weren't completely neurotic.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Probably true, but than again with the defense I've seen out of the east we have a good shot if we go that far.

LA is going to be a great series.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

So now that the west is done, my gut says:

LA vs Nashville for round 3...

However, my brain wants it to be LA vs Phoenix for the lol's, Go Nordiques Go!!!

 

[endresults]

There's no way they can stay in Phoenix, right? There's supposedly a buyer who wants to keep them in Phoenix, but the franchise is hemorrhaging cash there. Is there some magical revenue sharing talk going on behind the scenes or what?

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Sorry Marvie, Rev, wsox, and other fans, I know Marvie thought he would get the chance to see his team knock Phoenix to Quebec, but it was not meant to be...

So LA, Phoenix, St. Louis, and Nashville.... Yup, the west is pretty much pathetic :/

Patiently awaits a new weknowthatfeelbro.jpg

Called a Blackhawks loss before the series (ask wsoxfan). Refs/shit PP did them in though. Hopefully a 2nd straight 1st round exit means some big changes.

He did. Doesn't make it any less embarrassing how tonight went down though.

Glad to see Blackhawk fail, hate them

l know you're new to this whole hockey thing, seeing as how your team was irrelevant until this year, but it's Blackhawks. And don't worry, everyone hates your team more because of the boring-as-fuck trap it plays.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Quenneville choking up a bit as he talks about Hossa. "He hasn't felt very well at all."

Well fuuuuccckkk yoooouuu Raffi Torres.

Just caught this.



Hope he's okay. Wish they'd release information about it now...

Has there been no word on his injury at all? That's kind of strange if so.

 

[BigJonsson]

I wonder when the NHL will announce where the Coyotes are playing next year lol

Not that I've caught.

After the Preds wreck them.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Didn't you hear? There's a newly revealed "I don't have any money but I want the team" buyer who will

Spoiler

push the league's asking price up

keep the team in Phoenix!

Biggest problem with coma inducing trap hockey is that it works(more often than not)

Can't really fault teams for doing it.
