Cut the shit Marchand

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I like him, but he can be such a Weasel sometimes

there's good pest Marchand, and bad pest Marchand. This is the bad one.

Bruins!!!!!

Holy smokes a first round Bruins series isn't going 7 I can't believe it. Great series with the Red Wings, classy fans and classy organization.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Glad to see the Bruins move on! If the Rangers don't win their series I will be all Bruins again.

Sorry Tim, you may have company tonight though.

Boston meltdown coming next round. Habs in 6

I'm just happy they are in the second round.

Do or die time, again.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

That was a pretty goal.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sharks look terrible. Not a good start and feeling pretty uneasy about their chances for the rest of the game

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

2-0 lead, but we've been here before and blew it. Kings are playing like the Kings though.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hey, Minnesota. It's OK to go down without a fight. There's no shame in it.

Stop scoring goals, ya jerks.

Open the top shelf grab the steak throw it on the grill and let the big dog eat baby

Avs with some clutch scoring, again!

Wow fantastic series going on.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

jesus christ

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Good hell.

If pulling the goalie is what it takes for the Avs to play with some intensity, maybe they should just do it all the time.

Avs having a better game, still have some work to do to match the gumption of minny

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

If Landeskog doesn't get that penalty, I bet Roy pulls Varlamov even earlier.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i knew that was going to happen

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

HUGE win tonight. Shutout to boot.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The Avs are what the oilers are supposed to be

Wow, great playoff experience for this young team just from the first round. They really know how to battle back. I'm impressed by the Avs.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah, Roy usually pulls him around the 3:00 mark.

Avs needed that win. I fear the series would've been over had they blew this one.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sure helps that Carter and Richards have been down 0-3 before. I am sure they are helping that locker room out. Also, how great would it be if the Sharks falter again in the post season, this time while up 3 games to none

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I went to switch from watching on my phone to computer and I miss the damn winning goal

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

They play with a lot of confidence. Roy has them believing they can win any game.

Still some work to do, but nice bounce back game after that stinker game 4.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I agree. I don't see them coming back from that.

Now we need to show some road muscle and take one in Minny.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I have been impressed with Darcy Kuemper. Should be a nice 1-2 goalie rotation for the Wild next year when Harding is healthy

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Agreed. Also, Haula, Coyle, and Granlund have had an incredible series. Lots of positives for Minny to look forward to in their future.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't think this series is over until game 7. This series and the Chi/StL have been great from a non-fan of those teams view point. Now if I were a fan of one of those teams I would probably be going crazy

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I wouldn't be surprised. Honestly, it concerns me that the Avs seem to rely so much on the last change to beat these guys.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Its new for most of them, Roy included. I think they will play more smoothly in further rounds (if they get there) and in years to come. Solid base the Avs have and they are a smart franchise so I see them sustaining this success for the foreseeable future

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'm glad you feel that way, thanks. :thumbsup

I've mentioned before that the one thing the Avs are missing are some battle scars. Experience. There is some necessary adversity they still have to face.

But yes, the most encouraging thing is the solid foundation they've built. Varly, EJ, Barrie, Duchene, Gabe, MacKinnon, O'Reilly... Really smart team building.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I don't see them getting past the second round, but I also didn't figure they'd go from 29th in the league to winning a strong, new division in one year, so what do I know?

If we beat Minnesota, I'd rather see Chicago since we kinda had their number in the regular season.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Pretty annoyed with the sharks. Up 3-0 and then lose the next 2 and lose bad. I just hope they can recover although knowing them, they'll collapse even more and go down in the next 2 as well

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

You should be used to this by now.

Cool Sarah

The Hawks under Coach Q are 16-3 in elimination games. I'll go with the house on this one.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

i don't think the avs were the team that blew that game

or game 1

series should be over

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Why I hate social media drives me nuts? You see how dumb other fans really are. Datsyuk tweeted thanks for the support and it was tough season. He shared it on instagram and one douche said trade Howard. Yeah....his fault for the injuries and only 6 goals in 5 games.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

No problem. With about 5 mins left in the 3rd I was already starting to think up snarky responses to the inevitable jeers I was going to get here. :lol. I was so grumpy I didn't even cheer when PA scored, just harrumphed and said "about damn time!"
Trying to understand the purpose of this tweet...
Butt hurt fans looking for someone to hang. There were some mistakes made by Wings players here and there, but there were also plenty by Bruins too. Boston was simply a better team. Detroit fans should be incredibly proud of what their team was able to accomplish this year. Not just in the standings, but in the confidence and experience levels of some of the kids on the roster.

I know I should be burned at the stake for this, but I was unabashedly cheering for the Wings yesterday.

Also, Spurgeon for the Wild is a warrior. Really liking him.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol. Gotcha. I was like, "man Russo must really be butt hurt if he's posting missed calls from January!"
I wasn't even aware people were debating it. From the image you just posted, Stastny's other foot seems to be on the blue line still.

I was more interested in why they didn't call Benoit for a penalty shortly before the goal.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So much yard work to do today, and it's super nice out. Really hope I'm done in time for Chi/Stl though...

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hope the Flyers can be the first in the series to win back to back games. Would love to see them actually come out strong to start for once

I feel this series is going 7

Ugh Flyers can't make shit out of two power play opportunities. First call was a gift too

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Typical Flyers deciding when they want to play the game.

Flyers look GREAT!! At least we're in the playoffs!

:BANG

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Missing another playoff game because I am an engineering major. Ugh. The nbc app won't work In the library. I hope the Rangers make the next round for the simple fact that finals will be over and I can watch a game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hey look it's our resident douche bag

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

0-for-4 on the PP, should be 4-0 now if not for a bad call, and for the 4th time in 5 games the Flyers are getting outplayed across the board.

Truth hurts, superfan.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

If they disappoint you so much, stop watching

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Because I'm a fan, win or lose. I'm just not going to suck the organization off the way you guys do.

Honestly, this is GARBAGE. If you care about winning at all, how the fuck can you defend this shit??

Holmgren's ineptitude over the past 5 years has completely destroyed this team. It's no different than what Amaro has done to the Phillies, and Banner/Reid did to the Eagles. The difference is that the Eagles finally did the right thing and cleaned house, and Amaro doesn't have long. As long as Snider remains the Jerry Jones of the NHL we will never win. If you can't see that, wake up.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

they looked better in the second and third last night. Crazy how they start to look better after db makes adjustments. Problem is he only makes them when he thinks his job is in jeopardy.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I haven't defended their play at all this game, you just come in here being a douche, so I am going to call you out on it. And what do you want the Flyers front office to do? They have a solid group of forwards and a serviceable goalie, all they need to do is improve the defense. What moves in the past 5 years do you consider destroying the team? If you say getting rid of Bobrovsky I will laugh in your face.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

but bob is the best goaltender in the world. he hasn't given up a goal since 2012.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

He got great value for Richards, then basically made an even swap for Carter, all the while ignoring the team's biggest needs at defense. While the offense has remained consistent the slow, lumbering defense has become more and more of a liability with each passing year (they handed NYR a goal twenty minutes ago). Letting JVR walk was a huge mistake. We won't know about the Bob trade until all the picks have developed but so far I'm not impressed.

And again, the Flyers are supposedly an elite franchise, but they never fucking win. In the past 25 years our biggest rivals have a combined 6 cups while we have nothing. But you think they're successful.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

JvR didn't walk

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I was being facetious. They got fuck all in return. A hair less awful than the Sharp trade (which obviously wasn't Holmgren).

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Glad Timmonen completely ruined any shot the Flyers had in the last 1:29

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The Flyers are beating themselves in this series.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Huge win for the Rangers! Got to listen to it on my car radio for the third. Gave me a scare at the end though haha.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah drives me nuts. About 20 things that made them lose. I'm kinda happy this nightmare season is over. The streak continues but they can get rest and health. A lot of positive stuff came out of the year though with the kids. Hope they can find a dman to strengthen that but other than that I'm OK with the team when they are healthy.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hawks look fantastic so far

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol Too true. Whatever it takes, I guess! Still though their lazy mistakes, stupid turnovers in the neutral zone, and inability to control any game for more than one or two periods have been infuriating me.

And still waiting for Sid and Geno to score. I actually chuckled when Gene Collier noted that Russell Crowe, who was in attendance last night, has as many goals as they do. "Are you not entertained?!"

Philadelphia meltdown coming next game. Rangers in 6.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Philadelphia has no reason to meltdown. The Flyers have been out played most of this series

To be fair, I had Rangers in six in my bracket.

I had the Flyers winning it all because I didn't care about being serious
