Another OT game winner from Backes, damn! He had one in game 1 against Chicago as well.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Orpik suspended 3 games. Interesting.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I agree with the three games. Late hit to the head. He should sit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wow

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy shit the NHL did something :eek

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sharks remind me of 2012 Kings. Pavelski is on fire this post season.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Did you and Matt figure out your extra c-ville tix or still TBD? Or they are gone elsewhere now?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Oh well. The show must go on.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Last I heard he thinks they are going. Were you looking to come down?? I'm bummed I'm missing SPAC, but I think this will be a good substitute.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Do not try and steal my tickets, Kev.

90 percent sure I'm good. Other half has agreed, all I need is to clear it with work and I should be good, which should be no problem because I pretty much run that place.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

My computer sucks.

So do the Pens.

I'm pretty blown away after so much disappointment. I just hope they can keep it going.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This doesn't look like your normal Sharks team. With Thornton now 102 years old, they better take advantage.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I should hav been your plus 1.

Do we have a time for CVille meetup? I need to let work no what the latest it is I can work and if it's not going to be til later in the afternoon I can earn extra Money

Re: The NHL Thread
 

After watching a few of the Sharks games now this postseason, I've got to attribute a lot of their success to solid coaching. Pete DeBoer has been the perfect solution to a team that was going off the rails both on and off the ice.

I mean, just watch how precise the Sharks are as a team. Passes are crisp, breakouts are efficient, defensive zone coverage is almost always perfect, cycling in the offensive zone is dynamic and fluid. DeBoer has these guys believing in the system he has implemented and firing on all cylinders. That's what really makes a team dangerous, and this team looks dangerous.

And sure, guys like Pavelski, Thornton, and Burns (yes, Burns) are playing VERY well, right now, but it's the team effort that really impresses me. With the exception of Pavs, who is OUT OF HIS MIND GOOD right now, not one guy or one line really sticks out as carrying the load. It's evenly distributed with every line pulling weight. I mean, you look down San Jose's depth chart, and they really shouldn't be as good as they are. But they're pulling it off, and they're doing it as a team. Really impressive stuff, and big kudos to DeBoer.

In that same vein, all the things I described above can be attributed to a degree to Nashville as well, which is making this a really good series to watch for real hockey fans. I think San Jose maybe does it a little bit better, and that's why they've got the edge in the series. But props to Laviolette as well for what he's done with the Preds. Watching them work together in the defensive zone is a thing of beauty.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Reports have the Wings looking into Radulov. If it was based on talent alone, I'd be all for it but he's too much a douche. I don't want a guy like that around the many young guys coming along for the Wings. Don't need that in the locker room.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm open all day basically. I'm good wth waiting til later in the afternoon

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Don't get too excited...just ask the Oilers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm open for anything as well! I'd just like some time to get to venue and tailgate a little so not too late into the afternoon.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I can certainly understand the desire to tailgate

I'm also very much good with a meat up after the show

Re: The NHL Thread
 

meat ups are the best.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I've also seen the Caps name pop up a lot with regards to him. Seems the front runner is Colorado. Word is he's matured greatly over the past few years but I'm kinda with you. I want nothing to do with him really. Not worth the risk.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

He'd fit in in Colorado then. Full of douchebags. :)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Why don't we say 3 for before? I was thinking of getting to the lots about 5. We can also extend the good times to a tailgate and after! Personally, im down for a crazy weekend.
Then join the cool kids and add yourself!
