lol blackhawks

:lol at making this comment so long after the fact.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Great to see Marcus Johansson with the helper on the game winner last night. Perfect dish on the stick of Williams.

He's reallyed uped his game the last few seasons.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

It was Kuznetsov -> Williams brah

But yeah beautiful play by all 3 and Marcus is so so good

Mr. Game 7 turning in to Mr. OT

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

My bad, Johansson feathered it is get the defenders stick the on the secondary assist. That was pretty crafty too.

I saw them celebrating and thought he made the pass. Anyway. It's guys like him that if they keep playing well will have a huge impact.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Bruce can never get there. I feel bad for him but his team struggled down the stretch too like CBJ so shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Damn that Eric Staal crash into the boards. Latest update from the Wild sounds promising at least

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Someone grab all of Greg's "Rangers are terrible" posts from the first round. :)

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

To be fair, I was way under my normal average of "Rangers are terrible" posts this year for round 1! :lol

Obviously very excited and happy!!! See you all in the second round! Let's go Rangers!!

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Quite shocked!! What a playoffs this far.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

So true my friend. Congratulations to you, Aero and Swordo! :)

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

One win between the top two teams in the west in the first round.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Congrats to the Rags and the Blues for moving on to the next round

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

So far 2 of the 4 #1 seeds are gone as well. Bracket busting playoffs!

Also, thanks everyone, round 1 was hard work. Really had focus on picking the right place to watch the games, finding the perfect rituals, and praying to the hockey gods. Can't wait to step it up even more for round 2!

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I'm a little surprised NBC picked the Bruins instead of the Caps today, maybe because Boston is home?

Either way, doesn't matter except I have to wait an extra four hours. I'm off today and I'd really like to get this hockey game thing out of the way

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Rangers played a great second and third period after a very sleepy first. MSG seemed a little...chatty during the Canadian anthem, anyone know what was up with that?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

People were drunk?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

People in New York are dicks?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Go Leafs go?

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Rangers played an excellent second half of round 1.

Also, I have to say, the officiating was incredibly substandard in that series. I get it's the playoffs but there were probably 4 times last night I was questioning why there was no call.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Round 2 babay!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

yeah, both ways too. I forgot who it was on MTL but he was spitting blood on the ice.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

John Stevens to be Kings coach. Interesting that they kept it in house with all the house cleaning they have been doing.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Yeah there was (what appeared to be) a blatant interference by MTL in like the first that, along with a slew of others that weren't called. The dude spitting blood on the ice, that was a pretty big one.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

:lol :lol nice

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

probably, just insensitive.

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

No love for Edmonton?

Congrats man!! Second round should be a fun one! Go give those Ducks a hard time!

California teams confuse me. It seems like they are ether in the Cup finals or crash our in the first round/don't even make the playoffs. I feel like the Kings still have all the pieces to be really good again. I felt that way about Anaheim last year too. I just don't understand how those 3 teams lack that much consistency.

:thumbsup Nothing wrong with a little playoff banter!

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

Not sure if you're used to it, but this is how the playoff officiating is. Much longer leash

Re: The NHL Thread (where the Presidents Trophy matters!)
 

I honestly forgot about that game. I was catching up on work, etc. during the Rags game and didn't change the channel.

Congrats to the Oilers. That team will probably get leveled by the Ducks, but still good to see them advance
