Playoff series schedule

The numbers...
Seattle 46-28-8, 26-11-4 AWAY
Colorado 51-24-7, 22-13-6 HOME
Morning line: Colorado -205

My herp derp uneducated keys to the game:
1. Be physical
2. Be fast
3. Limit/eliminate time on PK
4. Help our goaltender

It's a huge hill to climb...but can be done. Home teams are 2-2 after the first four games. Kraken are a very solid away team. I'll give them a puncher's chance if they can pull off my four items listed. In other words...

LFG!

By the way and not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but the HFBoards tradition is that the home team's GDT is the one that gets ported to the main boards (which is why the Avs' one is there now).

Who wants the honor of handling G3 and G4?

2 great games from the western conference yesterday. Let's hope for 2 more great ones today. Go Kraken!

Playoffs baby. Holy f** Sh***.

Just go out there, be a pain in the a$$ and hope that our semi-trap somehow works while Grubauer's mildly solid.

Anyways, let's f** go

Brandon's ready as well

And as always...

[AarG]

Bring it on!

Who would have thought that we would be here at the start of the season? Win one on the road and things could get interesting

I'd vote for RCH. His threads are fantastic! I just started this one so we could begin the gif parade...and hopefully start strumming up the excitement for tonight.

Feels good not really having any expectations. Just going to enjoy the run for as long as it lasts. There have been times this season that we have looked unbeatable. Hopefully we're about to start one of those runs.

Very glad that you did! I was thinking similar but have been in a board meeting most of the morning.

Thanks for the mention.

I wouldn't mind but I absolutely suck at the graphics.
Given that we have a team with no stars and full of teamwork, how about a couple guys/gals chip in and we basically create something together?

BTW: Sprong's on the ice.

 

[wewantyoursoul]

haha. Oleksiak is a monster.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

I'm game for a team effort - feels like that's an appropriate analog for the team on the ice.

Gru vs. Avs is a fun story line. Kraken in the playoffs also a fun story. Chances of winning this series almost none.
Hope it's entertaining though, and in the playoffs you never know. Luck, bounces, injuries, anything can happen.

I'll like to add one thing This year's playoff as long as we are still in it should be dedicated to the late Andy Edie one of our local Seattle hockey media folks who passed away last Friday.

Beyond pumped to watch, am very proud of this team.

Any reason the main board thread got locked??

Four lines that can score and a goalie very familiar with the other team is a recipe for an upset. I fervently hope it comes to pass.

 

[AarG]

Let's write it beautiful!

I don't have a good, i.e. winning, feeling about this series but bad things tend to happen when I do have a good feeling. I've waited a long time to see playoff hockey in the NW. LFG KRAKEN!
