NHL 2012 Playoffs

[AnthonyBoscia]

Yeah, that's more like it.

I'm no fan of Philly but sure hope they mop the floor with the Pens. Perhaps the defense of either team will attend the game as well.

I've always suspected that Crosby is actually tony romo in disguise.

 

[El Justo]

i'm no fan of the pens but crosby has more than one (1) lifetime playoff victory

Listen - this *IS* an absolutely amazing performance by Fleury... doesn't even matter how this series ends. Still 3-2 late in the third.

 

[Omega124]

Ugh, this is what happens when you focus too much on backwards passing and not enough on actual goals. 2013, I guess.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Nashville is the first team through!

Torres gets 25 games.

Torres was suspended 25 games for launching himself to deliver a late hit that sent Chicago's Marian Hossa during Game 3 of the Coyotes-Blackhawks series on Tuesday night.

Should the 25 games not be served by the conclusion of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the remaining games of the suspension will carry over into next regular season. Torres will also be prohibited from playing in any preseason games until he has served this 25-game suspension (playoff and regular-season games).

Will Nicklas Lidstrom retire? Now, there's the D in Detroit...

Statistics of a power On-The-Tape passer!

Say, Bobby Oor & Paul Coffey status in the same sentence - please.

Can't watch the vid right now. Is the number so high because he's been suspended like twice this season?

 

[Evie]

25 games is reasonable. Barely.

Much better than all the jokes that have been handed around the rest of the playoffs, at least.

EDIT: Go Sens! Just one more!

 

[Zyxpsilon]

The predatory fish certainly smells like a Blues song now!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Well, I called Blues in 5, and was 2 games off in predicting Nashville's win- seems like good calls so far.

 

[shadowplay]

What idiot scheduled today's PHI/PIT game for noon? What the hell kind of start time is that for any professional sport, much less an indoor sport like hockey?

 

[remake20]

Good job Blues. Nice comeback.

 

[Zyxpsilon]

What idiot scheduled today's PHI/PIT game for noon?

Baseball or basketball lobbyists? NBC "sports" contract with NHL? Nashville/Detroit slot no longer available?
4-1 Flyers late in the second. So keep waking up, Pens.

 

[Evie]

Effing Flyers and their being so disgustingly succesfull in the playoffs, no matter how they did in regular season, ruining their better's time. There is no team, in any sport, that get under my skin more than the annoying orange jerks.

When I take over the world, my first order of business will be moving that team to Wasilla, Alaska. To compensante them for the difficulty in attracting new free agents, there will even be a rule that all Alaskan players have to play for them.

Yes, by "Alaskan" I mean "Scott Gomez".

 

[remake20]

Sweet, I got the PHI/PIT series correct with both winner and number of games. Sadly, that does little to help me picking Vancouver, Boston (still have a chance), Chicago ("), and the Rangers (")

 

[El Justo]

Claude Giroux is a Super Star.

 

[shadowplay]

Thank you Kings! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

 

[Zyxpsilon]

Didn't Los_T Angeles! (They already started the rumors... Luongo, Vigneault - nobody's rioting in the streets)
We all took Boston, right?

 

[Evie]

No, I took Pittsb...

Oh. Right. Stupid Flyers.

Tomorrow's game in Ottawa could be very interesting if the end result is the #1 in both East and West going down in the first round.
