GDT: NHL 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs II

[Neely08]

Watching the Pens is like watching the Habs. I swear, they've flopped about 10 times tonight trying to buy a call.

I'm half-heartedly pulling for the Caps, just because I can't stand Pitt. Though having to root for Orpik's team is giving me an ulcer.

Yeah, mixed emotions for sure. Like watching Bin Laden drive off a cliff in your new 911 GT3.

I think I hate the pens more than even the habs. That's a lot of hate right there. I so wanted it to end on letang's stupid penalty. Oshie was and is totally rocked right now.

(From the playoffs photoshop thread)

sad but true

 

[JRull86]

Nice dive

 

[Neely08]

The only thing I like about the pens is those jerseys. They look pretty sweet.

I think Sinden sued them over those uni's.

 

[Fossy21]

Wow. Beagle robbed Hörnqvist.

 

[JRull86]

Beagle with a Ryder

 

[Neely08]

That was better than Ryder's mit save.

Caps are rattled...

 

[Bruinaura]

Well, I may not like either team but at least I'm being entertained haha

 

[Pia8988]

President trophy strikes again

 

[Fossy21]

Sweating Bullets, awesome

And there it is!

 

[KrazyLegs]

Ugh. Pens could def. be going to the SCF.

Ugh. Pens could def. be going to the SCF.

As long as they get swept there, it's alright.

 

[Bruinaura]

I am Western conference all the way for the Cup. Like any of them more than lightning or pens

 

[JRull86]

The Ovechkin/Marino comparisons are spot on

 

[Fossy21]

The sooner Bonino shaves, the better, for everyone involved.

Kessel, Phil Kessel
(what?)



nice assist on the game winner

 

[mislysBB]

I truly think I hate the Pens as much as the Habs. I really do. In that case, go Bolts.

But here come the awful media narratives saying the caps choked and Ovi's legacy is ruined.

The caps didn't choke. They ran into a freakishly hot team. And quite frankly, Tampa has their hands full.

 

[Bruinaura]

Pierre: when did you know the flip had switched?

 

[KrazyLegs]

The Ovechkin/Marino comparisons are spot on

Except Marino played in a SB. Ovi hasn't even made a conference finals.

 

[Bizarro Bandwagoner]

Bleh, I want to see a new team win the Cup. Go Blues/Preds. I'm sure those two will lose their Game 7's as well.

 

[BruinDust]

All we need now is for the Sharks and Blues to lose their respective Game 7s, and the Choking Trifecta is complete.

 

[Neely08]

Knew it after those PP's.

President's trophy is undoubtedly a curse. Just further emphasizes the reg season means poopy other than making the playoffs.

Millbury says holtby gave up a bad goal? The winner? Made the first save and Niskanen (i think) inexplicably left his man there all alone like a dope. Dman bias much there, mike?

I honestly can't tell if Hagelin is overrated or underrated. 4mil? His speed sure isn't in question. He gives people fits, opens gaps, and forces decisions and mistakes. Guess it depends on what's really around him.

Ovie...has to sting b/c of Sid. Ouch.

Didn't watch/listen, but probably referred to Kessel's opening goal.

And Ovi had 5 points to Sid's 2, don't really think he was the problem, though he could obviously have done more (ideally you want more than 2 goals from him against a 15 year old goalie, and he's never scored an OT playoff goal).

His 'bad goal' was on Kessel's although I disagree, that shot was an absolute bullet, placed perfectly in the tiniest of gaps, through the legs of a defender on the rush, honestly calling that soft is very harsh.

Although Kessel is a sniper, it was a short side goal that could have been stopped. Holtby being off his angle didn't help at all.
