WTF Sharks, you are making Kassian look like a hockey player

 

[Exit Dose]

Come on, Oilers. You can do this.

 

[dracom]

guess the Sharks last chance was last season.

 

[Getzmonster]

The Oilers go as Kassian goes... apparently.

 

[bumperkisser]

how many goals has jones let in 5-hole this series.. is that normal?

Too many? If the Sharks survive we need to sign Terry real quick.

 

[DarthYenik]

Like I Said, 7 games. Someone had to go up 2-1 in that series.

With St. Louis up 3-0 already I wonder if this is the year they'll go far. For past years the Blues have always been hyped but they have never delivered but this season I don't think no one is talking about them so maybe it's this season they go far. Or maybe the Wild just sucks and St. Louis will be whiped out during the second round.

I don't think the Blues are good enough down the middle to go all the way but they've certainly got a very good blueline.

Yeah, the middle is their weakness even if they get Stastny back but they have been able to go 3-0 against the Wild, a team that might not have a great middle but it's certainly better than Blues' middle, at least at the moment. Like you said the Blues have a very good defense and now Allen seems to be on his game and they have quality depth on wings IMO. Chicago has better middle than Nashville but they are currently losing the series, although I'm still expecting the situation to turn around. I'm just saying that now when no one is expecting much from St. Louis, it could be the year they could go far.

What if the Wild going down 0-3 has nothing to do with BB and more to do with CI?

St. Louis has an unbelievably good record since they swapped to their new coach.

So you're saying we got rid of the problem?

 

[AngelDuck]

Agreed, although if SJ loses tomorrow they're done. huge game

 

[AngelDuck]

What a shot by Ovechkin. Best goal scorer I've ever seen no doubt

 

[AngelDuck]

What if Washington, Chicago, and San Jose all went down in the first round? That would be something

 

[dracom]

I expect to hear so much more complaining about how unfair and stupid the new playoff is unfair.

 

[Duck Off]

Jesus anyone just flip channel over to Chicago game after 2nd ended? Preds just scored. Their announcer was literally yelling announcing that goal.

 

[Paul4587]

If Toronto wins their series there are no hockey gods. Worst thing ever to happen to this place is them making the playoffs.

Also what the **** is wrong with Holtby. He's been decidedly mediocre these playoffs.

 

[bumperkisser]

wow preds up 3-0

 

[Sojourn]

wow preds up 3-0

It's only 3-0, I believe.

Edit: Oh, I see you caught that.

 

[Paul4587]

Has anybody else noticed that the nhl.com condensed highlights have started to include replays of penalty calls that lead to PP goals against? It's so annoying you know every time they show a penalty that the other team is going to score on the upcoming PP.

For the games I don't bother watching but still want to see spoiler free highlights in it's so annoying! Toronto Washington was the latest game to have a goal spoiled by this (worse it was the winning goal!).

 

[Fighter]

I fully expect the Oilers to beat the Sharks and possibly go all the way to the Finals (McDavid is THAT good...), if the Blackhawks will be eliminated (but I will believe that once I see it).

 

[Ducks DVM]

Wow, that state of Alberta is just dirty. Hope they suspend him.
