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

[SavesEmNot]

St. Louis needs to put this one away. They've missed too many chances (and almost blew the current go-ahead goal to boot).

game....7

I'm listening to Blues/Blackhawks and it's really something when a team seems as determined and able to exert their will like the Hawks do at the moment. I so want the Blues to win but it just feels like the Hawks are going to tie it.

Blackhawks Down

Yeah I had that feeling too, but maybe the oracle meant something about the puck hitting both posts instead.

 

[WannabeFinn]

No Kings, no Blackhawks, no Bruins, no Red Wings..

what a time to be alive

I'm not totally following you but hey, good job Blues

 

[CBJWerenski8]

...you know, as much as I enjoyed watching that myself, we don't have to hear about every single good play he has here.

Well we hear about every bad play so I'd figure I'd balance it out.

Congrats to the blues. Happily wrong. My jinx worked.

To be honest the only team I hated on was the Kings.

But a lot of teams exorcised some demons in this first round. It was a joy to watch - it is usually the best round in my opinion, maybe because not everyone is injured yet.

You're welcome to. But perhaps we can finally move all this "Johansen scratched his butt today" newsflash stuff to a dedicated thread. Like an "Ex-Jackets" thread.

This thread is supposed to be for Tulip and the Russians to post their weird videos and jokes that no one understands.

Like Jori Lehterä said: "Like Ville Nieminen says, if you want pizza you go to the pizza place. If you want goals, you go to the goal."

Wait. He did what? How am I just now hearing about this?

 

[Dr. Fire]

What a win for the Blues. And Hawks fans can suck on that for a while.

Rangers and Wild gone too!

Alas, the Islanders have already prevented these playoffs from being perfect for me... but if the Preds win Game 7, it'll at least be pretty damn close to perfect. After that, all I'll need is for the Pens to get kicked to the curb.

You obviously need to be paying more attention to events of importance.

C'mon Viqsi, that Islanders win gave us the single most euphoric moment of the year.

 

[blahblah]

Sorry, there are very few match ups in which I can support the Preds, the Ducks aren't one of those match ups. Go Ducks! :p

I didn't really care who won the Florida/Isle match up. I don't mind the Islanders as they are the red head step child of NY, plus Tavares is simply awesome. In round two, I'd love to see the Stars lose and I'm for the Sharks no matter who they end up playing.

So Caps/Isle/Blues/Sharks would be my preference for the final 4.

Same preferences for me, and the Sharks are my team the whole way. Unless the Isles keep winning me back..

 

[Tulipunaruusu*]

Tappara is one victory away from the Canada bowl of SM-liiga winner. Leading 2-1 against HIFK in the third period with Patrik Laine scoring the tieing one.

::

Tappara is iron as a team.

 

[Viqsi]

Only if you weren't rooting for Florida.

The Isles' situation just means that I'll probably eventually manage to forgive them. Maybe.

Unless it's for or against the Jackets, I could not conceivably care less.

 

[DarkandStormy]

This won't happen. No games tonight.

 

[We Want Ten]

Unless it's for or against the Jackets, I could not conceivably care less.

I'm right there with you. I think 90% here feel this way, yet the fringe element lives to say told ya so, good or bad.
