GDT: Non-Wild Playoff Game Discussion Thread

[Avder]

Generic User: Figured instead of cluttering up the NHL News thread with playoff discussion we should have our own thread to discuss non-Wild NHL playoff games..

So talk!

Isles strike first in Washington!

Nice!

I think I might pull for them in the East. A lot of MN kids.

Echo from the Habs/Sens GDT:
Anyone else watching the games on GCL? If so, does anyone else have a real choppy feed? Even the Isles/Washington game looks pretty fuzzy compared to usual.

Is someone else managing the streams for the playoffs? Quality control is pretty absent so far.

Niskanen with tons of turn overs....

At this point, all non-Wild NHL news is playoffs anyway...

Eh, you might be right. Just trying to stay organized. Then again, lots of firings, hirings and other movement going on. Draft lottery talk too.

Sens up on MTL 1-0 after 1. Pulling hard for the Sens in the east.

 

[Avder]

Haha, Clutterbuck broke some glass with a shot that went very very wide.

This Sens-MTL game is bonkers.

Sure, and I can't watch it cause my stupid cable company doesn't carry NHL Network.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Go Preds!

Does NHLN do mobile streaming?

Good Lord!!

Major dive by Stone. Ridiculous that was a 5 + game.

 

[Avder]

The Mayor of Nashville had all Predators fans stand up and sing the anthem.

Absolutely brilliant play to drown out all the damned Hawks fans who snuck through Nashvilles anti-Hawk-fan measures.

Dive? Likely. Though I'm sure he's got a pretty nice welt regardless.
In any event, if we're to start penalizing the intent rather than the result, we need to ignore Stone's antics and still recognize that Subban still gave him a pretty vicious two-handed slash with the heel of his stick and a pretty good wind-up. Also, it was probably a bit of a makeup call for the buttending mere seconds before.

In my opinion, both actions here have no place in the NHL.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!

The PK Slash

 

[Avder]

Wilson beats CRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWFORDDDDDDDDDDDD high stick side!

 

[Wild11MN]

Gah, I don't get NHL Network either. And sweet, Preds have the lead!

The PK Slash

5 and a game for that? Wow, I don't agree with that at all.

It made the game a farce. It was a slash no question but when you remove a star player from the game and score 2 goals on the penalty because of a dive its a problem.

Man I bet they're frothing at the mouth in Montreal.

MTL's 4th liners are having a huge game tonight.

MTL up 4-3.
