Red Wings look really slow. Boston is everywhere but as was just pointed out not a fan of open nets.

Gus has been so great in OT

Ruh roh bruins.

Nice good job Bruins

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Feel so bad for Red Wings fans. Ultimate what if season. They play so well when they have everyone. I wouldn't count them out of this series yet

What a stud Dougie is, really stepping up without Seidenberg. Playoffs are heart attack city.

Total bummer for Monster. Played a great game with the late call.

shot literally hit three people on its way into the net

Mackinnon hurt. No bueno.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

He's back :thumbsup

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Minnesota continues the suffocation... 3rd period and the Avs have 8 shots on goal. That's right. Eight.

Justin Williams scores, if the Flyers organization didn't suck and would have kept him they would have 1,000 Stanley cups

Suffocation is a great word. Neutral zone's completely clogged up in the middle

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

What a fantastic finish to both games so far.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Hot damn. The Wild looked like the rangers there. Wow.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Another deserving win by the wild. The Avs have a lot to figure out

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

sorry Matt, but it's good to see my pick the Wild tying it up.

12 shots to 32. Jesus. 3 of them from Ryan O' Reilly.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Kings up 3-2, final score going to be 8-3 sharks, right?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Avs have been outshot like crazy since the series went to MN.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sharks just got out worked that period. Let's see if LA can keep up that effort.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

It's not like the Avs were playing poorly. In fact, they were noticeably better in their own end. The Wild just figured out how to shut them down and get in their way the whole game. Kuemper saw nothing but his own d-men's asses the whole game. Just phenomenal positioning and pressure by Minny.

One thing I still love is the Avs confidence with the goalie pulled. They didn't get it done tonight, but they sure as hell thought they could. Need to find a way to harness that intensity and urgency for the rest of the game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I'm only looking at stats on a computer screen — was losing Barrie that big of a difference?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Absolutely. That guy is an absolute game changer. They really missed his speed through the neutral zone and creativity in his own end. EJ tried to be that point man during the final 2 minute stretch, but he just doesn't have that same x-factor that Barrie does.

Ryan Wilson was Barrie's roster replacement, and he looked rusty and disinterested. Tough year all around for him, spent a lot of it in the press box. His days with the Avs are numbered. Wouldn't be surprised if Sarich dresses next game.

EDIT: But let's be clear. The Avs did not lose this game because they were missing Tyson Barrie. They lost because the Wild were the much better team. Plain and simple.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Light em up Kings! Wow. Too lil too late though.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

No sweep for the Sharks. Hopefully they can finish it in game 5 back in San Jose.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

KINGS!!! Met waterboy tonight!

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Stop being stupid. Some of us aren't satisfied with making the playoffs anymore. No titles going on four decades is pretty pathetic, especially for a franchise that likes to pretend that it's among the league's best.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sarah, great game by Brown tonight. That's what captains do.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

All of a sudden I'm excited to watch the Sharks/Kings for some reason...

:thumbsup now I've gotta get my autograph and pic with gabby before he's gone from the team!
