Around Hockey XVIII (All Non-Jackets Hockey talk in here)

[The Jones Zone]

Felt a bit of sadness for Pavel Datsyuk. Tough to go out in a losing effort. If he is done he was one of the best. I really enjoyed watching him play.

can't say I feel the same

I say congratulations to the Redwings for winning exactly one more playoff game this year than the Jackets did.....with no lottery chance

That dude used to kick our ***** almost every game he was in the lineup.

Just noticed Nashville up 2-0. Poor Anaheim

Series now tied 2-2. Whoever has home ice advantage will lose the series. #DucksQuackTogether

He was on last night talking about 3rd and 4th line contributions

What the heck he would know about that I couldn't figure out

Joey with a bang up series so far.

He's just been there that's for sure. I thought he would take over the Preds like he took over for us in our playoff series vs PIT. But I'll give him a pass for now, still lots of time to rebound for him. He looked pretty good in Anaheim

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Boy it's hard rooting for the Pens. But **** Nash. It'll be easy rooting for Washington next round

 

[CBJFan827]

Pat Kane and his crazy hands keep the Blackhawks alive for one more game!

It's exciting to think NYR, DET, LAK, and PHI could all be sitting at home in the next few days, eliminated. From there, anything else would be gravy. There wouldn't be many teams I'd be upset to see win the Cup (other than Corey Perry. Screw Corey Perry.)

He's been creating chances for others at a decent enough rate; they're just not going in. Still needs to take the shot himself more often.

I know! Would be SO AWESOME.

Kick Chicago out too and suddenly all my frustrations about the 2015-2016 season just cease to matter for a while.

 

[Fro]

went to bed when Chi scored with .4 seconds left in the 2nd...thought it was over...derp...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

D-Mac committed the penalty in 2OT that led to the Islanders GWG. Ouch

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Hell of an effort by the Kings. Down 3-0, come back to tie it in like 5 minutes.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Looks like Michal Neuvirth is going to single-handedly try to beat the Caps. Flyers totally out-shot 44-11, but still won 2-0.

Bet the Flyers are wishing they had started this guy over Mason in the three games that they lost.

Agree. He played lights out. Caps were all over the Flyers he just wouldn't let them score.

And the angst in DC is epic.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

And the angst in DC is epic.

No doubt. Imagine if he brings them all the way back.

I've always thought Neuvy was good, but he never grabbed hold of a job. (Hate to turn this into a CBJ topic, but he's a prime example of a guy I'd rather have at his contract than Bob at his, given what we hope we know about Korpi, a viewpoint I realize is more than a bit colored by hindsight.)

Is this about the election?

 

[pete goegan]

Is this about the election?

That, too!

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Should be a barn burner in Chicago tonight. I hope the Blues can close out the series tonight.

 

[NotWendell]

Maybe Rick Nash has been overrated all this time?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Maybe Rick Nash has been overrated all this time?

he had quite the awful season this year

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Henrik Lunqvist was awful all series.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Joey just had a great goal.

And he just ripped a Crosby-esc backhand roof shot over Andersen's blocker to take the lead.


Annnddd Anaheim tied it seconds later..
