GDT: Non-Wild Playoff Game Discussion Thread

[StealthClobber]

no way either of these teams survive the winner of the ECF.

I don't know man, both the Rangers and Lightning have looked pretty average at times, and then other times completely dominant.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Anaheim make the SCF and just #rek whoever they face.

Surprise, surprise. Hawks with a 2MM penalty two minutes into the game.

 

[Avder]

Maybe it's the Hockey Gods punishing them for cap circumvention with the Kane and Vermette crap.

One can hope so anyway.

I really can't root for the Hawks. But I'm having a guy's weekend at the cabin this weekend, so if the Hawks win, at least it'll be fun to watch Game 7 up there Saturday night.

Damnit, Ducks!!!! Pull your heads out of your butts and stop that "tanking for talent" of a team from winning another freaking game!

 

[gphr513]

Stoner!!!

 

[Avder]

Dear Ducks, **** you in advance of your inevitable game 6 failure and allowing these goddamned Hawks to continue to exist.

I'd hold off on the **** you until the final buzzer, but I'm about to pass out from exhaustion.

Lousy god damned stupid Ducks.

So my Uncle who lives in Tampa Bay said waaaay back in the first round that if the Lightning made the Final, he would get tickets.

Well, 2 rounds later, and I'm going to the SCF!

Awesome have fun I had the lighting going pretty far before the season started.

Yayyyyy the rags lostttttttttttt.

Lightning - Ducks final please. Just to **** with NBC and it'd be a pretty exciting matchup.

 

[StealthClobber]

BTW, did anyone else noticed how depressed/non excited the broadcast crew was that the Lightning advanced and the Rags didn't?

Doc: ...and the Lightning are going to the Stanley Cup Final...

That's just awesome. Hope it's Anaheim - Tampa Bay.

 

[Wild11MN]

Really... Anaheim absolutely controls the first 2 and a half minutes.. Chicago barely touched the puck. Then one shot from the point and Toews buries the rebound and 1-0. sigh.

 

[Wild11MN]

Guess I'm not too surprised.

 

[Wild11MN]

No distinct kicking motion???? Are you kidding me??????

Allowing that goal was Bettman's work of guaranteeing that the Hawks will make the finals. Having the Ducks vs. Lightning would just kill him.

All those bandwagon Hawks fans there are hilarious. Same as the ones who invade the Xcel. They were nowhere to be seen when the team was tanking, and then they all come out of the woodwork when things went right.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Yeah...Bettman ordered Chicago to win...

 

[Ceiu]

Not really surprised at the result, but FFS the Hawks get away with some ********. I was watching the game with my wife during that Hossa "goal." Leaned over and said "No way that's a goal. I mean, they'll call it a goal here because Chicago; but if that were the Wild, it'd be disallowed in seconds."

And then they called it a good goal. Fortunately it ended up not impacting the game.

 

[Spurgeon]

I think Chicago was a better matchup for the Lightning, should be a fun series.

Plus way more fun to watch.

 

[Avder]

Chicago in the ****ing finals again.

**** that.

Dear Tampa, please finish off your epic skewering of the Original 6 by knocking Chicago the everloving **** out.

 

[StealthClobber]

God I can't wait till you can drop that avatar Avder.

Cheering hard for Tampa in this Finals. Cocky Hawk fans are bad enough, 3 cups in 6 years will make them unbearable. On top of that, if Cleveland wins the NBA title, Minnesota becomes the state with the longest major sports championship drought. Golden State and Tampa bay are the heroes we need.
