NHL/playoffs Thread

[Heyward]

Need a NHL thread since the best playoffs in the world are here.

Can one of the mods pin this?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Maybe Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, or Ray Bourque who finally got that elusive ring can pin this thread?

Ty Domi just sucker punched someone in the subway and Jeremy Roenick broke his jaw again. Meanwhile my boy Sergei Federov is having his way with the love of my life...Anna Kournikova.

Game of the season for the Flyers tonight.
I'm shocked Dallas has been so competitive with Anaheim. I thought Anaheim would end it 4-5. But, Dallas has a lot of talent, and when Getzlaf was out, that changes a lot.
I'm shocked the Lightning got swept. Montreal is good, but swept?
My Cup picks are Bruins and Blues. I really hope the Blues make it. Love that team.
Still have belief in the Flyers. Mason coming back will make a difference. That 1st goal Emery allowed in game 3 was really deflating for the whole team.

Yeah, Also, Crosby sucks.

But on seriousness. Lundqvist proved why a goalie in hockey is the most important position in sports. A Goalie can dominate.

Habs beat the Bruins.

Thats a huge upset, Bruins were a ****ing juggernaught this season.

 

[zitothebrave]

It really comes down to the Goalie play. Price outplayed Rask.

The Boston/Montreal series was absolutely nuts. You just will never have that type of series in any other sport.

3 game 7s in the 2nd round NHL.

Meanwhile, 2 5 games and 2 6 games for the Lame NBA

So NBA round 1 was better than NHL round 1?

Not even close

No, because at least a few of those teams should have put other teams to bed.

NHL also hasn't had refs change the tune of a series yet.

Quick carrying LA again.

He's so good.

A goalie in hockey may be the most impactful position in all of sports.

Only position that I think can potentially be more dominant is a SP in baseball. Sometimes a SP is unhittable and he can provide his own run support too. That said day in and day out a goalie in hockey can change the world. The difference between the US just missing the gold and not medalling or getting the bronze or whatever happened last olympics was goalie play.

Seriously how do you throw a flag for icing right there?!??

 

[NinersSBChamps]

This Nordiques and Whalers game is epic!

 

[thethe]

So how about those skilled goals scored in the Ranger/Canadian game?

 

[yeezus]

I love and hate the Kings and Blackhawks. Kings because they are Flyers West (with actual success) and the Blackhawks because they beat the flyers in '10. But I love the way they play and Toews is the best captain in the game.
