Nope not at all

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Touché! That was a good game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Preds pulled a Pens last night

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol Chad was super salty last night.

Also :lol at the notion that the refs and Darling are the only reason the Hawks won.

Subban's slash for those that haven't seen it:

And this is exactly why so many people don't like him. Look at how he whines like a little kid that got his hand caught in the cookie jar.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

over/under 3.5 bananas thrown at him when the series shifts to Ottawa?

lucky for him Boston is out of it

Re: The NHL Thread
 

what a temper tantrum.
j.f.c.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Awful way for the Preds to lose. When you start off like that and blow the lead and then lose, that's tough. I would be scared about the next game if I was a Preds fan, not happy about it. I wouldn't want to give a experienced (yep said experienced) and talented team like the Hawks any confidence. Game 2 I think will be huge now. I want to see how the Preds respond.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So, PK (douche), you think he'll get suspended or was the game misconduct and the 5 enough? It was pretty vicious. He slid his hands up to do that. I'm guessing he won't get suspended. Why he was upset he was getting a penalty (before he knew how many minutes) I dunno. He acted like he did nothing wrong.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

it reminded me of the adam graves slash on lemieux

not quite as vicious but same intent

Re: The NHL Thread
 

anyone who thinks Scott Darling won't play like that again is a moron. Look at the Hawks D, you really think the Perds are going to have any chance to put up more than three goals again?

Crawford just shit the bed.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Crawford will start game 2 I think. He's your guy and I think he gets another shot.

jk man, I love Chad. :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

has to be.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Eh, goal 1 was 100% on Rozsival. I have no idea what kind angle he was trying to take there when he crossed back over towards center ice when he had Keith on his left, but he left Crawford high and dry. I mean, rewatch that goal and just watch Rozsival. He literally gives up the net to the rushing player (Wilson, I think). I don't know what he was doing.

The second is obviously on Craw. The third was redirected right in front of him, not sure how you can put that one on him either.

So I wouldn't say he "shit the bed" at all. Obviously we'd like to have at least one of those back, but the team just wasn't playing well that first period in front of him. They looked all out of sorts.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

100%, I'm sure it's not even a question for Joel.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I look back at the Wings in 08 against the Preds actually. Hasek gave up a few bad ones that lead to a loss in game 3. Went back with him in game 4 to give him another shot. He struggled early and switched to Ozzie in game and from then on...wow. Think won 9 in a row after that and 14-4 the rest of the way. Crawford won you a Cup two years ago and the WCF's last year. You don't yank him after 1 game, especially since you won anyways.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Also, Brohan has no commentary from his own game last night?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Now that would be shit the bed. Or...same old Caps.

Ya know I think the Wings will lose this series, because the Lightning are a talented, good team, and the Wings have been struggling. So expecting a loss is no big deal. It's gotta really suck to have a team that's playing well, going up against a team that has struggled and still expecting a loss.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yep that's the one. super dirty

and i don't think many penguins fans will forget about that one. put lemieux out for the series

Re: The NHL Thread
 

the rangers were real assholes in that series.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

great hockey last night.

well except for isles/caps. caps just looked disinterested. odd for a Trotz team at home in the playoffs.
CBJ twitter account was on fire last night.

This Sen/Habs series is going to be a lot of fun to watch. I'm not sure I can stick with my original prediction of it going 7, Hammond needs to play a lot better but that game last night was just raw entertainment.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

hope we take it to your butt-holes tonight

:thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Caps looked lost all night. Isles just took advantage of it. Great momentum game.

Hope the Caps don't wake up tomorrow.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

me too. that sounds hot

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So much for the play of the teams in DC last night the last few weeks of the season. Holtby gives up that first questionable goal and Isles seemed in control from then on. The kids on the Isles were the "seasoned vets" last night. Halak's misplay leading to their goal was a possible game changer but it surprisingly didn't happen. There was very little push back from the Caps last night, which will surely change in Game 2. Boychuk was such a leader, talking to the guys lots, like another assistant coach. Chimera acted like a dirty pos all night long. He needs to get his at some point.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yup, gotta keep 50 in net.

He's just too worried about how Blackhawk drunk the "Blackhawks bandwagon" is right now.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

still not certain why people are so sure that the Caps will have "push back"

i mean, they might, but not sure why anyone would believe it until they see it

typical playoff capitals to me. just like the penguins, honestly.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

The Islanders are the better team overall, IMO.
