Also, the d played well considering is was missing 3 top 4 guys

MAF was fantastic in this series. It really is to bad for the Pens he didn't find his game a few seasons ago.

Anyway,YES!!!!!!!!!! Second team to the second round!! Really excited!!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

As you should be. The Rangers aren't flashy, but they have a very complete team this year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That game was fun to watch. Now I'm watching the Wizards take a 3-0 series lead on Toronto on their way to an inevitable second round exit. I don't care enough about basketball to go to the other thread though. I'm a hockey guy.

The old boys club has been shutdown. Great day in Oiler-land.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

No, he's not. Hoping for Bylsma or Guy Carbeneau (sp?)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Congrats Rangers. Looking like a complete team.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I said Sens in 7. Didn't think if they did that, they would be coming back from 0-3.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

nice bounce back last night for the wild after wednesday's debacle

didn't know what team to expect

hope we can close this one out tomorrow

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm so nervous. Is it 3:00 yet?

A few of my friends are on the Island. Knowing them (they're assholes), some may not make it out of the Coliseum alive.

(I love 'em, but any ass-kicking they get they'll bring on themselves)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hope the Hawks can finish this tonight...Really do not want to go to game 7.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hopefully Q stops being so loyal to his vets and plays some guys who are actually capable NHLers.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Lol fuckin pens

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Almost time to close down the Coliseum

Re: The NHL Thread
 

My buddy from college, who is a photog for the Rangers, took this awesome net-cam photo (sorry Pens fans).

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Washington has been telegraphing too many cross ice passes in their own zone this series. Gotten lucky it has not come back to bite them. Clear the puck please and no turnovers, esp. In your own zone.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:thumbsup net-cam photos are so cool

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Surprised Pens hung as tough as they did. On the other end Rangers need OT for 2 games and never won a game by more than a goal. They should look much better with some time off

Re: The NHL Thread
 

serious question - why was Pitt not good this year? They had still decent players on the team. Did they lose anyone of significance?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They were playing pretty well until the end of the year though. Did the same thing as the Wings. Pens fans will be able to give more detail as to why.

Can't wait for the Wings for a chance to finish off the Lightning tonight....oh wait. It's 2-2 not 3-1.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

New coach. Never really got the ball rolling. A couple of injuries that were spotty that ruined the flow. Inconsistent play. Etc...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hot start but injuries and inconsistency hurt them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Islanders are out hitting the caps (I believe) but the analysts come out talking about how physical the caps are

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I don't believe that's correct. The Caps were definitely leading through 4 and I can't imagine the Isles outhit them in game 5.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Caps are out hitting by 15-20 hits

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I don't understand why Isles fans are chanting Holtby's name when a) he hasn't let up a goal and b) the puck is in the Isles zone

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pretty physical game thus far on both sides. A physical games doesn't favor either them though...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Certainly seemed to me that someone was in the crease there

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Isles gotten away with that twice already this series

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a shitty way for NYI to end a period.
