Around the NHL Part XII: Playoff Madness

[Ogrezilla]

Unfortunately that part has been forgotten.

I mean the trade was obviously brutal and just the word 'Morrow' is enough to rightfully make any Penguins fan blood boil...but Morrow was easily the best of the rentals until his knee gave out.

didn't his kneecap crack or something crazy?

Stevie Y has done an absolutely tremendous job in his short tenure so far. Don't they also have something crazy like 19 picks over the next two drafts? Also Drouin + Vasilevsky waiting in the wings. Unreal.

Yup, something like 17 picks over the next 2 years. Crazy and like you said with a future star like Drouin not even dressing. A great job he has done and they're only getting better which sucks!

So funny seeing Rangers fan going crazy about how bad Lundqvist has been in the last two games. They know they are in trouble. I've been very impressed with how the bolts have made Lundqvist move, I hope the pens management are taking notes ... never mind the management is probably sleeping through the whole playoffs.

I've blocked what actually happened from my memory because it was so cringe-worthy...wouldn't surprise me.

Lundqvist is quite possibly the most overrated goaltender in the league. The Rangers, year after year, have played a system that benefitted him. I am going to enjoy Tampa lighting them up and have them all freaked.

Indeed. Anaheim game about to start, they need this game IMO. Going down 2-1 to the Hawks is not ideal for any group. I wouldn't mind staying up all night for another epic OT (go Ducks), then watch F1 practice from Monte Carlo in the AM.

That's twice Kesler has gotten behind the Hawks defense.

Blackhawks are doing great at using their D to block up the outlets for the wingers receiving the puck low in the zone. Even though the Ducks D are doing well at anticipating, the 2nd and 3rd passes have been picked off a lot.

Ducks score! Deflected by Perry, maybe... Couldn't tell

Yes it was & aaaaah yesssss! GO DUCKS!

 

[cygnus47]

Despres says NO and blocks off Shaw and Toews in front.

 

[td_ice]

That's a slick backhand by Kane.


1-1

 

[td_ice]

Doc gets in two distinct Pittsburgh references within 10 seconds.

Despres reference and then Saad.

 

[titaniumexpose]

Nifty skate pass by 24 like one second before the goal... Small victories I guess.

 

[td_ice]

Ducks should have scored there.

 

[mpp9]

Ducks should have scored there.

You could say that throughout this series outside of game 1. They need to start finishing.

Yeah, definitely.


I think there were 3 or 4 more instances (combined) since I posted that.

 

[MrBurghundy]

Perry channeling his inner Tyler Kennedy there on that breakaway.

 

[Ignatius]

It's terrible that the Ducks traded Lovejoy for a player that could not help the Penguins in the playoffs...

Ducks look like they got this one locked down. Hawks can't get near the net.

Kiss of death.

 

[cygnus47]

The Hawks have had so many lucky bounces give them opportunities. They haven't created many opportunities on their own.

 

[cygnus47]

GCL stream just dropped out. WTF!

 

[bradshaw06]
