Problem is, his replacement Rundblad, has been a liability also. He was directly at fault for the first 2 goals in the only game he played. |
Re: The NHL Thread
hoping the hawks win tonight.
want the hawks over the ducks if the rangers win. |
Re: The NHL Thread
Keith is good. He created those last two goals.

Re: The NHL Thread
duncan keith, man.
unreal. |
Re: The NHL Thread
Anybody know why doc refuses to call it a crease? Always saying "blue paint". Like, I don't think I've heard him say crease yet this post season. Is it like the Super Bowl for some reason where he can't? what the fuck.

Re: The NHL Thread
Stressful end....hope Chicago does what LA did to the Ducks last year in game 7.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring it home Saturday Hawks. Amazing night for Keith too, seemed like he was involved in everything tonight!
|
Re: The NHL Thread
God, I love Duncan Keith.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Fuck yeah Hawks!!!!

Re: The NHL Thread
My Conn Smythe front runner from each team -
Rangers - Hank or Brassard, but I think if push came to shove, it'd have to be Hank. I mean, if they win game 7, that means Hank is 7-1 all time in game 7s, and the stats this guy puts up when the money is on the table are absolutely absurd. Best between the pipes in the world. Lightning - Tyler Johnson. I mean, seriously, dude has been no question their MVP. Kucherov and Stamkos have been great as well, but Johnson wins this one. Hawks - Duncan Keith. I know how rare it is for a defensemen to win this trophy, and I think Keith has been all that and then some. Since 1995, only Lindstrom, Niedermayer, and Stevens have won the trophy as defensemen...I think Keith is the front runner to join those ranks if the Hawks pull this off. Ducks - No one. Fuck them. Overall - Duncan Keith. Dude has been absolutely unreal. The best stretch of hockey of his career, and considering this guy has two Norris Trophies, that's kinda saying something. |

TBL, no question. Without Johnson, Lightning lose in 5 to the Wings, if not get swept. Hawks, would like to see a guy like Keith get it. Stevens and Lidstrom ones surprised me back in the day, so maybe we see it. Lidstrom I think got it cause there were so many choices with Hasek, Hull and Yzerman too. Not that he didn't deserve it but.. It's always easy for people to vote for the goalie or the leading scorer, takes balls to do vote for a d-man. in all seriousness with the Ducks, I don't know who you go with. Probably Perry but Getzlaf has been good and so has Silfverberg and Andersen has proven a lot of people wrong. I'd like Bruce to win it and say "See? It wasn't me. It was the freaking Caps team." |
Re: The NHL Thread
Hawks-Rags was my pick at the beginning of the year and I'm sticking with it! Plus, I'll be in New York next Wednesday-Saturday so I'd be going to a road Finals game! let's go!

Either way, first things first. Tampa can still easily win this series (as can the Ducks). Radio consensus here is split. Half the radio personalities think the Rangers can't lose now, and the other half feel that the Rangers are over due for a game 7 let down at home. I don't know what I think. I could see it going either way. I hate the two days off because I feel like it gives Tampa enough time to regroup. Will be completely heart broken if NY comes up short, but as long as they leave it all on the ice I can't ask for much more at this point. Today will be a long day thinking about tomorrow night. |
Re: The NHL Thread
My cousin, who has a partial Rangers plan, I think, has had several playoff seats this year. He is not really a hockey fan (is actually an Islanders fan) and has them for family, clients, or even to flip them, it seems.
He had a pair of tickets for Game 7, 7 rows from the ice and sold them last night for...................$3,750. Unreal. |

Re: The NHL Thread
looks like the sabres are going with Bylsma
some interesting facts on bylsma vs. babcock Pts per game Babcock (DET) - 1.29 Bylsma - 1.33 Postseason win% Babcock - .547 Bylsma - .551 1st rd exits Babcock - 4 Bylsma 2 and they've each won a cup |

Re: The NHL Thread
Tough comparison cause Babcock was there 10 years compared to Bylsma's 5.5. I think Bylsma will do better in Buffalo than Babcock will in TO. We can talk about how badly they tanked but that's over and they have 0 cap issues, a butt load of talent, potential talent and draft picks. I'd rather just start building something than wait for it to be blown up and then build it.

Also agree that Bylsma's really not coming into all that bad of a situation. There are a lot of really solid pieces on Buffalo's roster. A pretty good mix of veteran and young talent. With the right direction, they will do well. |

For me Keith would be a no brainer for the Hawks, dude has been upping his game every night. Last night he put on a clinic for any defenseman to watch. 3 assists, saved a certain goal when that puck was literally an inch away from crossing the line and he swiped it away and that one play where he held on to the puck for a while, made 3 or 4 bluff passes then whipped one through all the players to Hossa who was wide open on the opposite side to smash it past Anderson. Rangers - yup, Hank or Brassard have carried them. Bolts - definitely Johnson is the frontrunner but if Kucherov has a big game in 7 he may get the nod. Ducks - think you'd have to go with Perry or Kessler. |

Hawks - Yeah, Keith easily. Underdog: Seabrook. He'd be the MVP on any other team, but playing with Keith somehow makes him the underdog on the Hawks. Kruger's also had a good series. Rangers - Brassard for overall consistency. Underdog: Carl Hagelin. Tends to disappear from the scoresheet for stretches, but I like his 3-zone game and hustle. Lightning - Johnson Underdog - Brian Effing Boyle. I love everything about his game. One of my top 10 favorite NHL-ers. If I were to buy a Lightning sweater, I would get his. Ducks - Perry Underdog - Clayton Stoner. He was a decent 5-6 guy in Minny, but has grown leaps and bounds this year. IMO, the steadiest of the Ducks defensemen. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I'll play. And I'll play with Matty's underdog selections addition.
Ducks: I'd go with Perry. He's been a force pretty much from the jump. Underdog: Cam Fowler -Pretty much what Matty said about Stoner, could be said about Fowler. Hawks: Keith. Duh. Underdog: If he could be called that: Kane. Dude's the best. He doesn't hustle 100% of the time. But makes up for it with everything he does both on offense with his skating ability and his little board plays on offense and defense to spring someone or himself. Lightning: Tyler Johnson. Little dude's been awesome. Underdog: Boyle. Agree with Matty here. Boyle's not on the scoresheet a ton, but he's done everything right for his team and for his role. He's been maybe the best PK in all of the playoffs for any team. Sans goalies and Keith... Rangers: Lundqvist. Yeah, he wasn't great a few games in this series but you can't argue against how much he means in getting the team to this point. Inclduing his bending but not breaking to come back, down 3-1 last series. Underdog: Stepan. Love his game and what he brings. |
Re: The NHL Thread
Some fun trivia: After going to the Wiki page for Conn Smythe Trophy. 8 past winners are still active in the NHL. Can you name them? NO CHEATING! Give your best guesses a try on the fly!

Re: The NHL Thread
crosby, toews, tim thomas, kopitar
that's all i have off the top of my head |
Re: The NHL Thread
I really hope Quenville keeps the Toews/Kane/Saad line together for game seven. They looked unstoppable last night especially when Keith and/orSeabrook was on the ice backing them up and creating chances.

Re: The NHL Thread

Edit: Thomas won but not active. Other two didn't win. |
Re: The NHL Thread
:lol shit.
jonathan quick? Malkin? either he or crosby had to have won who won for the kings last year? edit: oh, zetterberg is another one. |

Kane, Malkin, Quick and Zetterberg are all correct.

Either way, he had a great season. Should be proud of it. Will be great agin next year I suspect. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I was thinking about it with like 2 weeks left in the season and thought it was odd. And then just thinking back to past seasons I'm pretty sure he's had at least one.
Ovechkin only had 2 ENG this year. Only one or two were on tip in's. Over half were one timers. Overall he had a great fucking season. How it ended was rough. Should be interesting to see how the vote gets split for the Hart between him and Price |

Re: The NHL Thread
Jagr is older than Sal even probably. Think about that?
I have no way of knowing that, but I liked it. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I give the Lightning a 25% chance tonight only because they have some ex-Rangers who won't be scared tonight and the road team has been better this series.
The Rag$ have the x-factor and he is in nets and his numbers are ridiculous in game 7's, especially at home. He will likely be the difference but he has to come up small at some point in this situation. Tonight would be nice. |

To add to the hockey conversation: I will no doubt be able to stay up and watch all of both game 7s. (He says now.) Jagr sent back his AARP magazine claiming he wasn't THAT old yet and that it was addressed to a salrx95. Had no idea what it meant when I first saw the story. I got it now. |
