Playoff Hockey!

I'm neither a Sharks nor Knights fan, and I thought it was interference. He knocked the goalie over and scored immediately. The only question was whether he was pushed into the goalie, which was hard to determine. Play on.

My team finally won something .. https://www.yahoo.com/news/latest-buffalo-sabres-win-nhl-draft-lottery-023002447--spt.html

I’m just ready for this Preds game today. They won two days ago in every aspect of the game (except the score). That’s a tough team and I want to see what they can do again this year.

100% agree. Nashville outshot them like 45-19 or something equally ridiculous, dominated puck possession, controlled the neutral and offensive zone, and not to mention whiffed on a few wide open nets and hit the post a couple times. Pekka Rinne had an off night, I wouldn't bet on it happening again. Lets hope Austin Watson is back in the lineup (which according to the twitterverse is looking like a green light!) and that Ryan Ellis is alright after catching a skate blade to the cheek. I'm stoked to see how smashville comes out of the chutes tonight! LETS GO PREDS!!

Yep. Over the last two years I’ve slowly started liking the Preds more and more. I’m a Detroit fan at heart; but, I haven’t had anything to be happy about in a few years so pulling for the Preds has been entertaining.

My middle son is a Red Wing fan and has been since he was small and playing peewee hockey. He routes for the Lightning as well which makes for some interesting times when they play each other. By the way the Penguins just got screwed out of a goal. Whether you like them or not a goal is a goal. You could see the white between the puck and the red goal line, so the puck was over by a small amount. They froze it on the tv so you could see it. Took some time for them to get the right angle but they eventually got it and there it was pretty clear. Can't believe the ruling......

Do you have a shot of that? I never saw them do that. Doesn’t really matter, I’d just like to see it because I thought it was a goal and never saw anything conclusive on my feed.

 

[Boomer]

That Smith-Pelly/Hornqvist exchange in he box was fun.

Disregard. Just saw it in the post-game.

 

[jcav]

Disregard. Just saw it in the post-game.

Ok no problem. The shot they froze clearly showed a small amount of white ice separating the puck and the red goal line. Over the line is over the line. So I don't know what they were looking at in the booth. Maybe they should have seen the frozen shot the tv viewers got to see!

John

 

[Boomer]

Yep. It was clearly a goal. Oh well. Game’s over now. Sucks when that happens.

 

[jcav]

Hopefully your Preds will take one back tonight and even it up with the Jets.....

 

[Boomer]

Started off the right way!

 

[Boomer]

Jesus.

 

[jcav]

Wow! Jets are tough...

 

[jcav]

What a game so far, 4-4 now in OT!

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

wow..I was not expecting double OT but I'm glad it turned out the way it did! It looked like Pekka Rinne was still a little uneasy in the crease but the Jets came out hotter than they did last time. This has the making for one HELL of a good series. Any way, 1-1, lets go Preds!

 

[jcav]

Ok Lightning fans, time for the team to regroup and even up this thing!

John

 

[Boomer]

What a kill!

 

[day_trippr]

Just caught up via DVR.
"Game On!"
And "Yikes!"
Beantown homies gotta be shouting "Tuukka! Tuukka! Tuukka!" after that first period
Gotta get their stuff together quick or this series is even...

Cheers! [Go BRUINS!]

 

[jcav]

Tampa came out strong, Bruins couldn't get a shot on net for 14 minutes. But Rask is a wall!! It's a war now!

John

 

[jcav]

Way to go Bolts! Even Steven! Gonna be a slug fest from here on out!

John

 

[day_trippr]

Caught up again. And...Well, that was a game worth watching
Bruins did what they had to do - grab a game out of the first two.
We'll see what happens next in Boston, but you can be sure the home town crazies will be out in force providing plenty of encouragement!


Cheers!

Slug fest indeed Lets just hope the refs put their whistles in the right hole from here on out! The officiating has been deplorable this season...Puck luck is one thing, oblivious referees is another. Oh well, its out of my hands. GO PREDS!

Woot, just got home from game. Win!

Wow that's great, what an exciting game to see live! The atmosphere must have been incredible!

That stadium is always hopping. I can't say it's a lot louder during playoffs.

 

[Boomer]

Carrie Underwood oughta travel with them boys. Something about a woman wearing a Canadian jersey singing our national anthem just rubs me the wrong way.

 

[afro_lou]

Wow! 2 goals in 18 seconds?





Side note: bummed on the SJ game. They handed LV that OT win on a silver platter. How many stupid penalties do you need to give away?? LV is too good not to take advantage of that.

Yeah - I’m semi-smacked and went out to check the meat on the smoker, came back in, saw the goal, and half-a$$ thought I was watching a replay. Rooting hard for the Preds so this is deflating, at best.

Also rooting for the Knights; but, don’t have a dog in the fight and my newly acquired friend Lou has me feeling sympathetic for the Sharks. I do like Brent Burns, though. That dude cracks me up. Hard to pull against Fleury, though.

 

[afro_lou]

Same here! I’m at the bar, I see them score, I look down at the beer menu, I look up and they’re tied???

I’ve no skin in the game in that series, but I’ll go for the Preds for the same reasons.

SJ’s my home team, but damn I like LV too! If they weren’t playing each other, I’d be rooting for the Knights.

Burnsie is a cool dude! I was lucky enough to have worked with him a couple months ago on, of all things, a Lay’s potato chip commercial... super nice guy!
