I drew my father a father's day card way back in 4th grade saying the Flyers would win the Stanley Cup. They got swept by the Wings. Hope the same happens to you. Fuck the Caps. (Cute drawing though)

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Home from the game and just now backreading.

Sitting in the stands, I had no idea either. I saw Beagle behind the goal, then I saw the puck in the net. No clue how it got there. I was worried for a second that somehow it had gone under the net and would be disallowed on replay. BUt hey, I'll take 'em however we can get 'em!

Easy. Ref saw #43 and put his hand up. That was a total reputation call. No question in my mind. Wilson has to be careful how he hits people now, because refs are looking for excuses to call penalties on him. Which is really too bad.

That is effing adorable.

Rick Nash! I really don't understand what the hell has happened to him the last 2 playoffs.
Yeah this. $7mil per to not score...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I hear ya.

My comment was based on a few things though.

1) frustration that this team was so close and didn't get it done.
2) the same problems that hold us back keep happening and go unfixed
3) the playoffs happen during finals....which has me double-stressed about everything
4) I always have a melt at some point during the post season

That said, honest question to you....do you think the Rangers could win a series against Chicago?? Even more honest question...do you think the Rangers would even win more than a single game in series against them?? I am a huge Rangers fan and I don't think we would win more than a game against the Hawks or Ducks for that matter.

I don't think any team in the east has a chance in hell after watching the playoffs unfold. But damn is it frustrating. The only way I was not going to be frustrated and would have confidence in the Rangers was if they got through the Met playoffs pretty easily. That is clearly not going to happen. It was the only way I would have thought they may be on the same caliber as Western teams.

I still want to make the finals because I am a fan. I will always allow my self hope again (as much as it kills me).

By the way, the Caps had a pretty excellent Star Wars themed opening video for May the Fourth.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

In case people were interested. A couple new capgeek type websites have popped up or will be soon.

http://capnerd.ca/
http://www.generalfanager.com/

www.generalfanager seems to be having issues right now and capnerd isn't open yet. Hopefully they are even half as good as capgeek.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I miss CapGeek. RIP Matthew Wuest. The hockey world is a way worse place without you.

Going to Seattle's top (only?) hockey themed bar for the games tonight. The Angry Beaver. Hopefully good times and grub will be had.

The players have spoken: Carey Price, Alex Ovechkin and Jamie Benn are their choices for Ted Lindsay Award finalists.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I am a huge proponent of the idea that ANYTHING can happen in the Cup playoffs.

The Rangers are a team that was in the Stanley Cup Final last year, and only got better since then. I'm a huge Rick Nash fan, and I'm not sure what mentally is keeping him from being Rick Nash in the playoffs...but I think it's one of those things that as soon as it clicks for him, he'll be a monster. Just needs to get over the hurdle. I think last game was a step in the right direction for him.

My love for Yandle and Hank are well documented too. I think the Rangers absolutely have a Cup run in them. Hockey momentum can turn on a dime.

Also, Duncan Keith is without a doubt the best defensemen in the NHL today.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good to have a tight win.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Place was awesome. Food was good.

Played Chelsea Daggar after final horn and place was going crazy. Just wanted you Hawks fans to know.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Holy fuck, can't believe they called that no goal.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm not normally one to say something like this...

But the refs totally fucked Calgary tonight. It should be 3-3, 100% "War Room", refs, whoever was responsible for that...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

WOW! Nevermind.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

War room/situation room. Same thing.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a great fucking game.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Flames deserved to win after that bullshit call

Re: The NHL Thread
 

if the Hawks advance past Minnesota, it's WCF 5 out of the last 7 years for them.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

What a game for the Flames.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL. And I love that they changed the colors to "BLUE, ROCK THE RED, WHITE"

Solid prank lol. Love stuff like that. Alway funny.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

To the bold. I think it is easy and common to blame the individual. As Rangers fans, we have almost made this a tradition. The truth speaks to my earlier posts. The style of playoff hockey the New York Rangers play does not encourage offense. In fact, it stifles it. Rick Nash is falling victim to a system that does not produce goals. If you put him on the Hawks he would probably score 10-15 goals in the playoffs.

It reminds me of how we all got on Gaborik when he was here. He would score 40 goal seasons through 82 games and then suddenly not be able to score at all come post season. We basically chased him out of town for it. He goes to LA and scores 14 goals last post-season. SURPRISE!!....it wasn't him. I have every reason to believe Rick Nash would be the same way if he was somewhere else.

I agree hockey momentum can change. I really hope it does starting tonight. That said, if the Rangers win it will be on defense and low scoring hockey. I am not sure that style will ever win a Cup. They proved they could win a lesser conference with it last year. Reality set in when they played the West though.

At the end of the day...LETS GO RANGERS!!

That is very very hilarious :lol
