Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Leafs are officially in! Tomorrow's game determines who they play. Win or make it to overtime against Columbus... a banged up Ottawa. Lose in regulation... Washington.

I really don't want Toronto to face the Capitals in the opening round.

 

[smurfjuice]

I think the B's have that ...

Well, yesterday was the last game at Joe Louis Arena. Lots of great memories from that place (Well, from watching on TV, anyway!) Only been there one time in person. We were so far up it was almost not worth attending. I checked prices recently and the cheap seats were not anything like "Cheap", and they were up in the nosebleeds sections to boot.

The Joe had something special, but I'm honestly ready for a new arena. Hopefully one with seats cheap enough for the average person to afford. They might consider charging less considering this year's performance on the ice... Baseball is about the only pro sport with reasonable prices anymore.

Am I the only one fed up with how unprofessional and error-prone the NHL is with internet media?

Go Sens!

I've got Boston winning that round in my bracket but only because I want to jinx them.

Man, pays to be a road team.

 

[Genghis]

Man, pays to be a road team.

Unless you're a Canadian team too.

Man... what a weak goal to lose on. Andersen just whiffed on it.

The Flames had a chance last night. There was just a 2-3 minute lapse that cost them the game.

 

[MeatyPortion]

I think the Flames can still pull that series out. If they win the next game, that is. Swept on the road wouldn't give me a warm fuzzy.

Chicago must not be a happy place right now. Held off the scoresheet in two at home, now they have to head to Nashville down a pair after a 5-0 drubbing.

Coach Q's stasche is not happy. It's angry. So, so angry.

 

[KayaBrew]

I'm still riding high after last night's Habs win over the Rangers .

 

[arturo7]

Someone should tell Chi that the object of the game is to score goals.

I think they're getting ready for golf season, playing by golf rules...

 

[trav77]

Regretting my pool decision to select Chicago to go deep...

Enjoyed watching the Karlsson show on that sick assist last night!

 

[KayaBrew]

Habs win, Oilers win. A good night last night.

 

[trav77]

Yeah Canadian teams are back on track after 0/5 in game 1

 

[trav77]

With the exception of the flames... they're going down in 4.

 

[Genghis]

With the exception of the flames... they're going down in 4.

They seem to be finding their groove at home tonight, but yeah... the other four have shrugged off first game losses to win two straight.

Can't say enough about the Leafs right now. Down 2-0 early. Clawed their way back to force OT, then won it early on the PP. First playoff series lead since 2004. Taken the #1 team in the league to OT all three games, winning two. Someone forgot to tell them they should be content with just making it to the postseason. Win or lose, they aren't rolling over.

Kadri had Orpik's number tonight. Drilled him twice to get the crowd back into it before Matthews scored, then scored himself later on by deflecting the puck in off Orpik's ass.

 

[Genghis]

They seem to be finding their groove at home tonight,

I stand corrected. It was 4-1 when I wrote that. I see they're in OT now.

... and Corey Perry delivers the silver bullet. So much for Calgary's groove. Mea culpa.

Well... that brief flicker of life got extinguished in a hurry.

Seriously... all four games tonight went to OT? Bettman got a memo out to the coaches or something?

 

[tlucarelli]

I thought for sure columbus would knock out pitt and Chicago would go too. Neither of them have a win yet! At least the Ducks are killing it.

These playoffs are weird.

Off the ice, too. #dartguy

Lucky dude, got a free ticket to the next game if I remember correctly. And why is he called dart guy?

And look, even something like that provokes concern: "uuhhhhhhnnng, he has a cigarette!"

Dart is slang for cigarette. Don't know if it's a regional thing, or where it comes from.

Must be regional. In that case it's a good thing he wasn't from England and cheering on a soccer team.
