As soon as they made it 2-1 I knew it was over. If that would have been with like 2 left, I would have said no big deal but with almost 6 left, too much time for that team. I wish they would have just lost 4-1 because it would made it easier. Had false hope like you said. Outright losing is just easier to take.

I heartily agree with this. Watching the Pens slowly lose control of Game 4 and then lose in overtime was a gut punch. A blowout would have been easier to stomach.

I think the first round of the playoffs is my absolute favorite time of the year as far as the Ants NHL thread. You guys are great :lol

As the playoffs go on into later rounds, the fans of teams that were eliminated start to disappear again, and it's not nearly as fun.

To all the new guys posting, please stick around. It's great to have you.

And for the new Caps fans, it's kind of Ants NHL Thread shtick to make fun of the Caps. Just accept it, like Barbs has. No matter if they win the Cup or Ovi goes out and wins the Selke, they will always only be playoff failures and Ovi will never play defense as far as this thread is concerned. ;)

Pretty sure if they win the cup the conversation would change haha.

I don't think you're gonna have to worry about that. I want to win the Cup, but let's face it, still a really, really long shot.

Also, A+ thumbnail you got there.

A friend of mine, who is female, covers the NHL for a large outlet in her market. She knows hockey. She plays hockey. She just posted this on facebook:

"Today, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told members of the media he doesn't see calling players by female names any different from goalies being called "sieves" players or players getting booed (in this instance, he was asked about fans calling Cory Perry 'Katy Perry' in chants). This is a problem. But the even bigger problem is what happened when I expressed as much on Twitter. I was told, almost immediately, that my opinions were invalid, that I was being too sensitive, that I was flat-out wrong. And it was all men who told me that. They're still going right now, TBH."

I've been amazed over the years at the amount of crap she's had to deal with/shrug off from male hockey fans.

I disagree on her first point, although personally I think it's really stupid to call Sidney Crosby Cindy. I find it irritating only because it's so bland and unoriginal. The Corey Perry thing is kind of funny though because Perry is a shit.

To her second point, that's a shame. Women writers are just as good as men, if not better. They offer up a different perspective and don't throw out the same old same old.

I can't speak for her, but I think she'd be fine with your disagreement with her first point. She's happy to discuss different opinions. But instead of that, she gets people telling her she's wrong because she's a woman, or that her opinion is invalid because she's a woman. And in the past, it's been "you shouldn't be in the locker room," or "you shouldn't be covering a man's game." Forget the fact that she's played her whole life. I often defend her on twitter by telling her trolls that she's better at hockey than they are.

She covers the Flyers, BTW :)

I'll definitely try to hang around. I tend to only be on Ants around tour time, and then only until I've seen my last show for the summer. But this thread has been really fun. So I'm going to try to stick with it. Even when the Caps are inevitably eliminated, and even when two teams I hate end up playing in the Final and I want them both to lose.

She doesn't cover the Caps. She's a friend of mine from college. She lives in Philly, is a Flyers fan, plays hockey, and covers the Flyers/NHL. :thumbsup

As a matter of fact, yes. Think you've probably figured out who I'm talking about (wasn't really trying to hide it).

Sure is. She's great. I haven't seen her in far too long, I keep missing her when she's in town covering a game, and I haven't been to Philly in a while.

One team does good and the other...well. I think Randy is a good coach still (I mean the Leafs were BAD) but he's not gonna fix SJ much if at all. They are an aging group and need some changes to the players.

One game at a time. I loved the Preds reaction to being down last night. I said a few days ago that they wouldn't win 3 in a row, they still may not but damn, if they play like that then there's no stopping them.

Can it just be tomorrow?
