Can't wait for Ducks to lose another game 7 at home.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Smart keep away by the Preds there before going on the PP. Let's finish this shit out with a PP goal.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yes yes yes!!! Hahaha ducks.

Pekka Rinne!!!!!! Holy fucking shit what a series.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I think I know what you're doing with them now.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow....what an end.

I really feel for Gabby. He's too good a coach for this to keep happening. Gotta think if this is it for him with the Ducks he won't be unemployed long. It's amazing he can't figure out the playoffs. He's never lost the division when he coached the full season.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sure was. Now in the west 3 great teams fail to advance past the first round - Hawks, Ducks, and Kings. Going to be one hell of a round 2! Congrats to the Preds!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So I've gone to two playoff games here in Tampa the last two years. The first one was game 6 against the Rangers last year, they lost 7-3 and Bishop was pulled. Then tonight, they lost 5-3 and Bishop was pulled. :lol

Ryan Ellis is a stud.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They aint great if they lost

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I found out how the Ducks/Preds game happened by back reading the thread. Great stuff guys. Awesome for the Preds. I also feel bad for Bruce. But overall I'm very happy to have the 4 teams left in the West that we do. Someone who hasn't been there in a while will get to the Final. That's great.

Luongo's tweet was amazing by the way

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Please go again Saturday. I'll even buy you a ticket. :D

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'd appreciate it if you stop going lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So happy for the Preds last night!!!! Awesome!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Great job, Preds! Good luck in Round 2.

It's a great day for hockey! 8:00 can't get here fast enough.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That is absolutely gold.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Having tough matchups in the first round (2 going to seven games) and getting knocked out doesn't diminish how damn good those 3 teams are. Between them they have won 6 of the last 9 Stanley Cups - 3 to Chicago, 2 to LA, and 1 to Anaheim. This season is also the 4th straight season the Ducks finished first in the Pacific Division. Not a bad run for 3 teams at all - I would certainly call them great teams.

I think that Q and Sutter will be back behind the bench next season for Chicago and LA but last night may have cost Boudreau his job.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

You are just happy the Hawks, Kings, and Ducks are out. If the Caps advance to the Finals you won't be facing them. Watch out for St. Louis though. Jesus they are a good team, 4 solid lines, a damn good defense, a goalie who is fucking unflappable, a good coach and a star to lead them in Tarasenko! :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It literally has nothing to do with that. Just happy to see some different teams advance besides the usual suspects.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

With you here. I've said it 100 times, if the Wings are winning it every year, I have no problem with that. But if not, I want to see different teams win. That's one reason why I don't like the NBA. Predictable as hell.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fair enough but there has to be a little part of you that is happy they are all having long summers and you won't have to face one of them if the Caps advance to the finals. :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

^ Nah. He can't worry about that because he needs to maybe try and get to the conference final first.

And whoever gets to the Final from the west, ya know what, they're going to be playing really good hockey and are going to be a really good team. Regardless if the top "powers" have already been knocked out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Bingo.

The Final is still a pipe dream for me at this point. Huge obstacle currently in the way.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Capitals biggest test is this round imo. Not that the Lightning or Isles would be a cake walk but Pens are a better team and history is standing in their way more than anything.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Reports that Wings will announced the name of the new arena in a little bit. Can't wait for the big $$ that will be plastered on the side.
