NHL Playoffs . . .
- Thread starter John P.
- Start date
I'm looking forward to that Bruins/Whalers game tonight. Walker is going to have a huge target on his back. He'd have been better off getting suspended.
Ovechkin rules. I hope he goes deep into the playoffs just to annoy the haters.

who did he make cry?Why do I hate Ovechkin?
Example #1
Sergei Gonchar. It was actually a pretty nasty looking knee-on-knee hit.
I love how hard he plays the game and the passion he brings, but I can do without his over the top goal celebrations and end of game win celebrations.
I also hated his cheap knee shot on Sergei Gonchar - that was a cheapy.
The guy can play though and he's got the quickest release in all of hockey right now in terms of his wrist and snap shots.
He just needs to mature a little more IMO.
To me, it looked pretty innocent. Just looked like they ran into each other. Of course, I don't actually play hockey. A buddy of mine who actually plays hockey says it was cheap and dirty as well.
I've played hockey since I was a little kid up through college and that was definitely not cool and pretty cheap.
Feel free to leave the NHL PLAYOFF thread if you feel that they are not interesting enough...
Go Blackhawks! Nicely done last night!
Similar hockey pedigree...and agree, Ovies hit was cheap. But he is awesome, I love the passion he brings and the fact that he is actually excited about the game. Ovie v. Crosby is a great rivalry!
Hey JohnE - how about that Patrick Kane??? His third goal was a thing of beauty last night.
This is weird...Bruins vs former Whalers and Rick Peckam is announcing. He was the Whalers' play-by-play guy before they relocated.
Go Bruins.
Go Bruins.
Even from a net minder it looked cheap to me too!
Good job, Bruins.
now sunshine, he who sits when he pees, where did i say the nhl playoffs were not exciting...just that your comparison between the nba playoffs not being as exciting as the nhl playoffs this year is wrong.
now go freshen up the wound between your legs.
How bout them bruins!!!!
One more, one more!
One more, one more!
Says you! But NBA is not interesting in teh slightest to me...and so what if I sit when I pee? I gotta read sometimes. You dont see any NBA playoff threads hereabouts, do you?
MMc, Kane has had a great playoff so far...I hope he keeps it up! Buff too!
How about the Wings/Ducks finish last night? 3 of 4 series going to game 7? Awesome!
Just chiming in to say that after that Hawks series, the Wings/Ducks games seem very tame with no intensity.
And he was the Rochester American's play by play guy before that!
Game 7s in NHL playoff series are so great! Awesome to see three of the 4 series in this round go the distance.
Anyone want to make a prediction on tonight's Caps vs. Pens game? Do Ovechkin and Crosby shine yet again? Does one guy stand head and shoulders above the other tonight? Or do the role players get involved with key hits, blocked shots, goals that make the difference? Will Varlamov cave in under the pressure of a Game 7? Or will the pressure not phase him?
Should be a dandy tonight!

I'm picking the Caps tonight. Pens won't be able to contain Ovechkin in front of the home crowd.
Penguins...ftw
The final shift yesterday had some intensity...
Well now....
Looks like the Capitals forgot there was a game tonight.

2 goals in 8 seconds. Bye bye caps. Bruins/pens should be a great series.
Did you see that glove save by Fleury on Ovechkin in the 1st? Unbelievable glove save.

Holy Crap did the Capitals ever lay a gigantic egg tonight.
Not even a contest - Pittsburgh dominated from start to finish.
I hope the game 7s tomorrow night are more exciting that the yawner that tonight's game turned out to be.
Maybe it is just kharma coming back to haunt Ovechkin for his cheapy on Gonchar.

wow! what a series!
the stats show the pens had more shots overall and for the most point dominated play. The difference was Varlamov! In game 7 the Pens broke him! Fluery came up big and set the tone!
If you as a player know that your netminder is ON! You have faith and can push, and put pressure on that much more! Last night Fluery was on and gave the Pens the chance to put the pressure on the Caps!
that is a series that I will always remember and talk about for sure!
I am looking forward to tonights game! BRUINS? CANES? what say you? Boston finally is showing there true colors, do the Canes have it in them?

I say Boston wins - and the first goal is scored by Patrice Bergeron - that gets the crowd going nuts and they prevail 3-2 tonight.
Last night, Washington could not solve the Penguins forecheck - they looked like they had feet of lead and hands of stone in their defensive zone. So many turnovers. It was ugly. What a flop for a 7th game effort. Sort of made the 7th game a bit of a let down for a hockey fan who wasn't rooting for one team or the other - just enjoying the great hockey and intensity in that series.
Oh well - **** happens.
Could we end up with a Pens vs. Red Wings rematch when all is said and done? Time will tell I guess.

Bruins 4-1 First goal by Savard.
This will be huge for Boston especially at home. The crowd will be unbelievable, I should have bought tickets.

I wonder if Savard will be 100 percent. He barely played any of the 3rd period after getting hurt.
I got the Bruins winning something like 3-1 may be an EN at the end.
For some reason I am going to pick the Ducks. I don't know why I just got a feeling plus I hate the Wings. Game 7s are hard to win at home but I think the Bruins will pull it out because if Staal is off and Ward doesn't play out of mind they can't win. The Ducks I think have a little bit more fire power than an 8th seed should have, but you never know what is going to happen.
It appered that Savard was ok when he left the game. I think it had to do more with the score of the game and there was no reason to play the rest of it.

Ovechkin sucks but Mike Greene and Varlamov suck more.
