2014 Non-Wild Playoff Discussion

[Northland Wild Man]

Does that include blocked shots?

I don't think so.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Rag PP, and it's a very soft call

 

[Avder]

Really surprised to see that call made in OT, let alone double OT.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Another pipe for the Rags

 

[Avder]

holy **** Nash channeling mittens.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Holy **** what a game.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Kings win.

Nothing Lundquist could do on that shot at all.

 

[llamapalooza]

Jesus, poor Lundqvist.

 

[Avder]

I've finally got a normal avatar!

 

[Ceiu]

Not gonna lie: I feel bad for the Rangers and fans.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

There's the hobbit

They aren't booing him

 

[Sharppi]

Say what you say, but Dustin Brown is a winning player. I respect the **** out of him.

 

[Avder]

Gaborik skating the Cup.

Yeah that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

He's a winner, but I don't respect him.

 

[llamapalooza]

Kings fans don't boo Bettman.

Gaborik lifts the cup.

Yup. They're officially on my **** list.

Well deserved to the Kings, they were the better team the entire series and the Rags were darn luck not to get swept. Now the draft in a couple weeks and free agency a week after that. Plenty of good hockey talk left before mid-July and we all go into hockey hibernation.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Felt the same way. Gaborik with the cup was kind of bitter sweet to see. So glad it was a really great game though. That was a lot of fun to watch.

 

[StealthClobber]

I can't help but get emotional when I see teams celebrate Cup wins, especially ones in overtime.

However after that all wore off, I remembered that I predicted the Kings winning in 5 games over the Rangers in an NHL 14 simulation of the playoffs, 4 months ago.

And even weirder is that back in September I did that same simulation before realignment, and who were the two teams? LA and Philadelphia, with LA winning. :S

Kings fans don't boo Bettman.

Gaborik lifts the cup.

Yup. They're officially on my **** list.

why hate a bunch of fans who are going to jump off the bandwagon of doing whats cool once the Kings aren't in the finals again next year? lol.

 

[BurnsyMN]

Most annoying part about this game was #NHLFinals2014 was trending on twitter. I appreciate newer viewers taking an interest but it says right on the ice "Stanley Cup Final"

 

[Northland Wild Man]

I had to laugh at CBC putting Cooke's knee on the playoff ending montage.

Gaborik skating the Cup.

Yeah that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Why?

 

[Avder]

Why?

I haven't explained my reasons enough?

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

I'm actually kinda happy for him. Sure he left us for the Rangers, but his career took a big time turn downhill and he had to reestablish himself and got traded to a team that wasn't much of a fit, then got traded to a team that was just the right fit. Not only that but it's not like he was along for the ride, he made some darn big contributions himself in the playoffs.
