OT: Around the NHL - Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round

[NMK11]

You know Toronto has like, oh 4 million more people than the Burgh...

But do they put fries on sandwiches? Checkmate

 

[canadianguy77]

Jackets must score on this PP or its over

They gave up after game 2 for some reason. Just totally stopped skating. It's pretty bizarre.

Ok. Doesn’t change the fact it looks like they’re showing someone’s backyard BBQ party when they show the Pens crowd.

 

[Ogrezilla]

But do they put fries on sandwiches? Checkmate

don't forget salads.

 

[MrBrightside]

CBJ has run all over the Caps at even strength the last two games. All special teams for Washington.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Vanek is so f***ing soft.

I honestly thought they looked better in games 3 and 5 than either 1 or 2. Grubs was just bad in the first 2. That series is a sweep with Halak (edit: Holtby) in net from the start imo.

They can't score worth a damn though.

 

[Bingo71]

Vanek is so ****ing soft.

Silky smooth?

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

How do you move forward with a vezina goalie knowing hes this bad in the playoffs?

Never seen anything like it. Tough situation to be in. They will obviously at least get a solid backup this offseason. Maybe Bernier.

 

[ncm7772]

Dude, the Boston/Toronto GDT thread is insane right now. So much hatred!

 

[ColePens]

These other teams’ outside viewing parties puts Pittsburgh’s to shame.

Wrong. Oh and you know the difference between how big Toronto and Pittsburgh are, right?

 

[edog37]

On one hand, I would love to see the Bruins blow a 3-1 series lead.

On the other hand, Leafs fans are going to be beyond annoying if their team wins a playoffs series for the first time in forever.

I can deal with that. Boston fans are beyond sufferable regardless of which sport

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I can't believe the Blue Jackets are gonna be eliminated (if this holds) with Bobby Orr on their team.




(having said that, I really do like Ian Cole, wish we would have kept him)

I can’t believe they didn’t deliberately stay on the PK the whole game to appreciate him... wait. They tried to do that repeatedly.


I also wish we’d kept him. He’s just not a cornerstone on D like some sold him as.

 

[Ryder71]

Vanek is so ****ing soft.

He's Soffffff

Halak? You mean Holtby?

 

[ncm7772]

I seriously don't get it. So SLOW! No effort.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Halak? You mean Holtby?

indeed I do

 

[Bingo71]

**** Boston. They love to talk about how “tough” their players are and how the opposing players just need to “keep their heads up” because it’s “old time hockey”, but bitch and moan more than any other fan base when their players get the rough treatment.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

indeed I do

I was gonna make some witty wisecrack remark about the mix up, but I couldn’t think of anything, haha.

 

[MrBrightside]

So the Pens allow 2 PPG in 6 games without Ian Cole. CBJ allows 9 in 6 games with Ian Cole. That can't be.

 

[Hockeygod66]

So the Penguins will start Thursday? They play basketball Friday and I don't see the league waiting till Saturday to start the series.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Playing Ovechkin in a defensive situation

 

[Andy99]

I seriously don't get it. So SLOW! No effort.

They didn’t want to lose to the Pens in the next round....

 

[Bingo71]

A little Motörhead in Lumbus...
