2013-2014 NHL Thread

Even if the Pens get past the Jackets, they won't get out of the second round without waking up and playing play-off hockey. The coaching has been awful and the stars have played with all the intensity of a Kenny G tune. I'm not even convinced they get out of the first round...what a sad showing so far.

That's signature line material right there, and spot on too!

Crosby is without a goal in 9 playoff games I think, and malkin 8 games. how does that happen? this is all about matchups. rangers always have trouble with the pens, pens seem to have trouble with the flyers, flyers have trouble with the rangers. the waterfowl do not want a game 7, neither do the rangers. bad for both of them.

Correct on Crosby and Malkin. Speculation is they're both hurt, although it's playoff hockey- everyone is hurt lol

[Mudlark]

Crosby and Malkin's playoff goal slump is almost unbelievable.

What an absolute and total choke job from Dallas. Wow.

I don't know cliff, the ducks have been coming back like that all year. they are tough when they don't sit back.

doesnt matter. this is the stanley cup playoffs. Blowing a 2 goal lead with 1:20 left is an epic choke.

san jose the real deal? if the kings win at home tonight and force a game 7, we all know what's gonna happen up in san jose don't we?

Well, the table is set for that one so, we'll see...and I said 'they may be'.

and I don't think marty st. Louis would have made that huge of a difference for tampa good wood, montreal owned them from the door.

No, but if their #1 goaltender didn't go down and they still had St Louis...

Montreal sucks. What moron nominated Subban for Norris that year and what morons voted for him?


Further on Toews...Crosby has never been the best player in the NHL. Toews has been all this time (except one or two years where it was Ovechkin).

You and a few people in Chicago are the only ones who might buy into that nonsense. You can dislike Crosby for his antics, but you can't deny his talent without looking like a complete tool.

god damnit the young jackets almost camr through, man that would of been so fun to watch the waterfowl sweat. if the rangers don't closeout tonight, they play again tomorrow back to back. the avs, wild, kings and sharks all get a day off before their game 7's. what the hell is that shit?

Crazy game...from blowout to nail biter in 6 minutes. I didn't need that

[atomic charvel guy]

I would of gladly taken that punch in the throat from you for even just getting to OT win or lose for the young jackets.

I didn't either. I was a total blathering cussing fool in the last 6 minutes. I want to see Bylsma get fired so bad that I swear to God a small part of me wanted them to lose just so I could see Bylsma get fired in a post game press conference.

Oh well, maybe next series...
