Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

I hope the Cup Series is as exciting as the playoffs have been.

Just wishing the Lightning good luck tonight, it's now or never! Great series, tonight's game should be quite an event!

 

[chessking]

Sorry to steal the idea from Ohrumphf, but it just fit. Congrats to Montreal in particular, and Canada in general. Should be a great series. However tonight works out it will be with two teams that finished 3rd, and fourth in their respective divisions. I for one did not see this outcome.

 

[day_trippr]

And there we are: Tampa Bay vs Montreal for The Cup!
Hope the finals are as good as the semis!

 

[JohnSand]

Great series, great game. Tampa controlled the ice and I'm sure they will do well in the finals. Congratulations!
I wish the Isles had won, but they have nothing to be ashamed of. They were underdogs in every game of every series and lost game 7 by a goal to the reigning champs. And the last game in the old Coliseum was a come from behind overtime playoff win.

Yes, that was a pretty sweet win for the Isles. Good luck with your new rink. See you next year

A 1-0 game seven. Priceless!

 

[day_trippr]

Solid win by TB on home ice. Hard to find any fault in their game tonight...

 

[chessking]

It was a bit chippy. A taste of some old time hockey. Its not the finals without some blood on the ice.

 

[jcav]

Glad we got the first one under our belt! Good to see Stammer get one and Kooch got his confidence back with two! Next game will be physical.

 

[JohnSand]

Pretty exciting game. Montreal really needs the next one.

 

[chessking]

Montreal needs the next two or three, or this series is over. We may not get seven games this time.

 

[day_trippr]

The way this matchup is playing out you may not get five games this time...

 

[JohnSand]

And I was hoping for seven!

they need next 4...

 

[Broothru]

they need next 4...

Might have to get this Cup dusted and done ricky-tick, or the Bolts may have to wait out Elsa to get home. Not lookin' good for the Canadians.

Obviously Canada and Northern tier states have a tradition in hockey. I've been to the old Boston Garden to see the Bruins back in the day. I thought it was a bad joke when Tampa got an NHL franchise. No more!

 

[day_trippr]

Another close game, this time finally breaking the Canadiens way.
Still cannot fathom how a team down 3 games to zip opens OT in Game four with a double minor, ffs!
Anyway...I think this ends Wednesday...

 

[JohnSand]

A very exciting game. Glad the Canadiens got a win at home.

 

[chessking]

 

[jcav]

Bolts were flat. You have to capitalize on a 4 minute power play, period. It's so hard to win 4 straight though in the play offs. I think we will see a different team on Wednesday. We also don't loose back to back games in the play offs so far, so I am hopeful.

Time for Price to channel his inner Halak, turn into an impenetrable fortress, and repeat the 2010 Habs/Caps series, this time with the complete reverse sweep.

 

[day_trippr]

I'd like that if only because it'd extend the season a couple of more games

 

[Qhrumphf]

Yeah I'm not holding my breath lol. But Habs are the fairytale of the postseason and that'd be a fairytale ending for sure.

 

[day_trippr]

I don't have a doggie in this fight aside from "Maximum Entertainment", so I'm just hoping for a Game Seven.
That would be cool

 

[Qhrumphf]

I know reverse sweeps are rare in the playoffs at all. Has it EVER happened in the final?

 

[passedpawn]

I don't have a doggie in this fight aside from "Maximum Entertainment", so I'm just hoping for a Game Seven.
That would be cool

I should be at the game tomorrow, so I hope for the series to end in 5.

I thought the Lightning played well last night. They just didn't find the net enough, but otherwise mostly a good night for them. I'm pretty sure they will take care of business back at home.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Apparently the Leafs did it in '42. Only time it's happened. Can count the overall number of times on two hands though IIRC.

Edit: make that one hand lol

 

[Qhrumphf]

But yeah. I will be shocked if it makes it to seven games.

 

[chessking]

I don't have much of a dog in this fight, but I would like to see Montreal put on a better show. Canada just got their first sniff of a Cup in a long time, and It looked like it was going to be over so quickly. Now, with one win, it may relax them a bit. Probably not. TB is playing well. However, as previously stated, Starting OT with a double minor, and the Cup within your grasp, you need to win that one.
