The NHL Thread

[Navafan29]

I actually want the Senators to win this series because I don't want them wasting our playoff spot. And in the NHL.com bracket contest, I picked the Senators to lose in the stanley cup final.

What the f*** Montreal??

[gojohn99]

Ottawa is still alive!

Goddamn Canadiens can't close them out.

[Northern Star]

Closeout, bitches! Finally. Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Northern Star]

And of course Montreal continue to be Tampa Bay's bitches. Couldn't beat them in the regular season, and at this rate, might not win a game against them in the playoffs.

It's all good. A Lightning-Rangers East Finals really intrigues me, as does a Ducks-Blackhawks West Finals.

f*** the Rangers.

[Thunder]

f*** the Rangers.

 

I don't like them either. It would make good TV. I love a screaming Doc Emrick.

Emrick always looks surprised.

 

Pulling for the Western champs to win it all now.

Kinda pissed that Babcock isn't going to the Sabres, despite his relative lack of success with Detroit and the huge salary. Maple Leafs isn't exactly much better right now. Edited May 21, 2015 by Northern Star

Lightning/Rangers was a no-win for me, but I am glad NY lost.

[gojohn99]

Same here for me on the Rangers/Lightning series, it was difficult to decide who to support. Likewise with the finals, Blackhawks/Lightning.

This restricting tickets to certain zip codes s*** should be illegal. What they did to this guy is even worse.

Leave it to NBC to start hating on the playoff beard!

[Northern Star]

So Game 6 tickets are going for $1,000 - and that's for standing room only. Just another in a long line of sports championships where the crowd is made up of people spending money they can't afford and casual/non-fans just wanting to be seen.

The Cup was delayed because they were still on their way to the arena at the end of the game? Why wasn't it at the arena for the start of the game?

My friend in Chicago said that traffic was all screwed up. Possibly because of rain.

[Thunder]

So... I guess the Blackhawks are the new Giants, although they won 3 in 6 years, not five.

[Northern Star]

Yeah, it was flooding related, and for some unknown reason they were staying on the outskirts of town. So my question stands; why wasn't that s*** taken care of with the cup in place before the game started?

[Spudboy]

Bad planning?

[Northern Star]

Bad planning?

 

Which is why I find it incredible.

[Northern Star]

For crying out loud, they're really talking expansion with the Phoenix and Miami franchises turning to s***?

*******s and their money are easily parted.

Hockey is back tonight, Bruins Thursday night.

[Northern Star]

Montreal win, Bruins get crushed. It's all good so far.

[Northern Star]

more money-grabbing s***.

I notice the ads superimposed on the glass are more obtrusive this season. Thanks so much, NHL. How much money is enough for you? You forget who is paying your freight.

[Northern Star]

I will be polite and not crow about the Canadiens beating the Bruins....it's only game 2. Lot of hockey still to be played. And no, I don't think Montreal will win the Cup this year.
