OT: Around the NHL | PLAYOFF TIME!!!

[TNT87]

Man i wish we still had Sunny...

Also predicted good goal cuz they've been calling good goals like that this season with nets just popping up/off as puck crosses due to defense causing the knockoff/up.

Sunny being included in that deal was another reason why it was dumb considering how the Pens were depleted at center depth already prior to that trade. Gee, who would have ever thought that going into the season with Greg McKegg and Carter Rowney as the bottom centers would be a bad idea?

Same

 

[WayneSid9987]

Whenever the Pens get eliminated, I always pull for the Canadian teams that are still in it but damn I’m torn in this series. The Jets appear to have the talent but there’s something missing. St Louis is solid.

I'm a Canuck and i don't really feel that unless i really like how a team is playing/have large affection for a guy or 2 on the Canadian team.
Find myself pulling for STL, COL and the Canes atm.
Even a bit of the Isles now cuz of Lehner's story.

COL is very easy to root for with how they're playing and Nate puttin' on a show.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I am ok with Teddy Blueger. I think Oskar is still a sluggish skater, but fits the West perfectly.

 

[Gurglesons]

So we could potentially see all of Winnipeg, Tampa, San Jose and Pitt out in the 1st round.

Damn.

Damn.

Casual fans are gonna look at the series next round and think it's the relegation tournament

Damn.

Throw in the Crapitals and Lolonto and I'm ok with the teams left.

I just hope the Blues win it all, then they also won after firing a coach.

I would have no problem with Carolina eliminating the Caps and I’m ok with any team except Vegas moving on in the West.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Sharks up 3-1 now. Vegas going to need Jones to turn into a pumpkin again here in the 2nd half of the game.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Not much Fleury could do on that one

 

[HuskerTornado]

Another penalty on the Knights.

“If anyone can find his game during the middle of a game, it’s Marc Andre Fleury”

I’m not so sure about that.

I’m not so sure about that.

Fleury is a good goaltender, but people talk about him like he was never considered The Worst Playoff Goaltender Of All Time, which he was. Like they never mocked the Penguins for keeping him. It is truly baffling to me.

I’m not so sure about that.

Unlike us, the VGK probably can battle back and win the next one.

On paper the Sharks should win the series. Jones was good tonight. Maybe the extra day off will help the Sharks.

The Fleury love is pretty blind here. I’ve not read or come across people criticize his play at all. They think the flopping is the best.

And for the record, I love Fleury and I’m still sad that he isn’t with the Pens but I know he’s flawed.

I was talking more about the media. I think there's plenty of Fleury criticism here. Some fanboys, too, but every player has those.

The media tends to act like Fleury has always been a super-clutch, very consistent goalie who is great under pressure. It just goes to show how quickly reputations can change.

Damn.

Add the Caps to that list and I'm not sure that's ever happened in pro sports.

Ya got parity, NHL.

 

[LOGiK]

WOW.

The Blues scored 2 goals in the last 5 minutes of the 3rd to win.
Game winning goal at 15 seconds left in the 3rd!!!!!!! what a game!

Jets lost it in a very Penguins-like manner tonight.

I got ya.

 

[66-30-33]

This ones far from over.
SJ is a tire fire in their own zone. Not PIT tire fire but close.

Weird by looking at that D. Imagine Pens forwards with Sharks D?

 

[66-30-33]

Hope this means no repeat for them and a 1st round exit.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

You know how some Pens fans/media are acting as though Murray had a bad series? Well, Jones is actually having the type of series that those fans/media are saying Murray had.

Not watched any of that series, so he's been brutal has he? Atleast MM made us some big saves when we needed them, not his fault Pens can only score 1 goal a game max.
