Boston is the bottom of the barrel for me , hate them since the late 70s.

Bof...I kinda don't mind the Dirty Bruins these days. I respect what they have been able to accomplish this past decade. Guess you can blame Bergevin for that but I don’t hate Boston.

Danault sure is shutting down the Oilers.

 

[McGees]

Leafs are very tops on hate list for me because:
A) the fans even during their 15 years of complete crap play had no humility and still talked the most $hit
B) every station has Leafs homer announcers and the brand is shoved down my throat.

Not many teams I’d cheer in the east maybe FLA.

 

[LaP]

I'm impressed by LA's defense. Limiting McJesus to 2 points in a 8 points game is an accomplishment in itself.

Plexiglass pane pain.

Hoping he's OK. Something needs to be done, these glass banger idiots are getting off way too easy.

It's something so simple to stop, yet they let people bang away.

Absolutely none of this matters............the post I was responding to was criticizing danault because of McDavids production. I pointed out that production came when danault was off the ice. The team being sad they lost really isn't germane to the conversation in any way.

Another loss for the LA danault's last night again....luckily for Phil none of it is his fault!!

 

[BLONG7]

Danault sure is shutting down the Oilers.

What people never got, was, one player does not shut anyone down, teams shut teams down, and expecially goalies shut down stars like Matthews, and McD...................
I think Phil is probably missing CP31...............

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Looks like Oilers will make short work of LAK. LAK are too young on D and on their 3rd & 4th lines. Remember, Doughty is out injured too, so this is just an opportunity for their young players to get playoff experience.

The only reason LAK won game 1 is because of Quick, and Smith's dumb ass pass.

Well, in a game that featured 7 ESG for Oilers, Danault was only -1; meanwhile, Kopitar was -4. LAK's so-called top line was awful.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I still like my scenario and actually voiced it before the series started. Leafs go into auto parade mode guaranteed. That team has to win a round sooner or later and it may as well be now. Take out those cheating f***S.

TO has been the better team so far. Tampas hasn’t had an answer for their relentless forecheck.

You also have to wonder if fatigue is a factor. Two cups and they were still playing hockey in July.

Their goalies rocked a .735 and .800, even kopi was a lot better than his stats showed.

Yeah, if LA lost game 3 then that means he obviously played poorly in games 1 and 2 as well. No petty agenda here...

This doesn't even mention that, once again, he wasn't the one being burned on these goals.

I agree, it's not fair to blame Danault because his team sucks, he's also contributing offensively, unlike last year with us.

But he was burned by RNH, on his 1st goal.

Even Lidstrom got burned once in a while. Defensive perfection is impossible in hockey.

 

[expy]

The only series that feels like a playoff series is the Dallas Calgary one. This year is so weird. Teams getting blown out left and right.

 

[peate]

MAF really doing a number on the Blues. So far he's been great. Good choice by the Wild.

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Being at the leafs/lightning game yesterday really made me jealous, playoffs hockey is the best, I'm happy about the rebuild, but I can't wait until we get back in there with the big boys. Hopefully by then we'll have some actual talent on the team.

The worst scum in the NHL is Tampa now. I'd rather see Toronto win it all than them.

I never said that he should be perfect, I only pointed out that he was burned on a goal, unlike what the other poster said.

My DNA just won't allow me to wish for that.

Good Lord no.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I have to give props to the Leafs. After game two, I thought they'd crawl into a hole and die. They showed a lot of heart and determination in game 3. If I'm a Bolts fan *cringes*, I'm worried my teams playoffs might be coming to an end shortly.
