Around the League: All Playoff Talk

[Crysis]

holy ****, he not only save it, right on the shaft of his stick, to save their season, wow

Ya that was one of the most unbelievable plays I've ever seen in any sport.

 

[ECanuck]

Amazing effort by Beagle!

 

[Canada4Gold]

That's not a penalty rightfully but if the Pens lose this game their fans are gonna hate the refs

 

[htpwn]

Sigh. Guess we're going to be picking in the bottom 4.

 

[Daisy Jane]

that's the series.

 

[ECanuck]

Of course the guy who shot it over the glass.

 

[HellasLEAF]

ouch. poor Caps. Came all the way back too.

That's gotta sting.

 

[Canada4Gold]

and there it is. Pens advance. I don't really care to cheer against them anymore. 23 to 27 is a big enough jump to root against them. 27-30 is almost a meaningless difference at this point.

 

[MJ65]

Damn it - why Capitals choke every year

 

[tokyoite]

R.I.P. Caps

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We'll be picking first and last in the first round. I don't even care anymore.

 

[La Masse]

Ovechkin choking since 2005

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Another year, another caps choke.

 

[burpsalot]

Poor capitals. Ovechkin will never make the HHOF.

 

[BIitz]

That line has too much speed.

 

[mallory67]

Kessel:2
Ovechkin:0

Normally I would be a bit upset about our draft pick getting worse.
But hell, watching Ovechkin go down is ALWAYS fun.

... and we have Auston

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

pens are winning the cup. they'll definitely roll past tampa, and i can confidently say that they'll roll past one of dallas/blues/sharks/preds as well.

**** our luck. at least edmonton ****ed their pitts mid-round pick by dealing for griffin reinhart.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Another year, another caps choke.

pretty much. and honestly, this would have been a really good year for them too - Tampa's okay - and no matter who comes out of the west, it's relatively a wash (heh).

 

[socko]

3 points for the Phil. Can't believe they overcame those 3 delay of game penalties. That was quite the meltdown.

 

[Tonka]

Kessel is a great playoff player. No doubt. Feel happy for him.

Wanted Caps to win but oh well.

For some reason that return for Kessel is bothering me a lot more now. Is this feeling normal?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Kessel:2
Ovechkin:0

Normally I would be a bit upset about our draft pick getting worse.
But hell, watching Ovechkin go down is ALWAYS fun.

... and we have Auston

Oh yeah! I couldn't help it but I've been Pens all playoffs just to hope for a glimpse of Kessel magic.

I can simply enjoy him now because I don't care about the rest of his game just love seeing him score.

He's so good in the playoffs always has been. He's getting no credit on CBC tonight too what a bunch of *******s! Dude had 2 huge goals and I could be wrong but believe he assisted (or directly contributed) to the winning OT goal. Dude was 1st or 2nd star IMO (Murray being the other)

What a game and awesome to see Bonino win it after being one of the over-the-glass guys

 

[RDubya]

Dang Phil the Thrill propelling the penguins to round 3. Makes me miss him with the leafs a lil

 

[burpsalot]

Holtby gets second star, Murray nothing.

 

[Canada4Gold]

We should have put a clause in the trade that if the Pens win the cup they have to foot the full 8 million dollar bill for the rest of the contract

 

[The Apologist]

I can't help but cheer for Phil after what he went through here. Good luck Pens, send those Bolts packing!!
