Some of these series are shaping up to be pretty top notch. Flyers-rangers is proving to be excellent so far, st Louis is giving Chicago a fair fight, LA and San Jose should be a great series... Even Minnesota and Colorado.

Also, its weird hearing Tripp Tracey doing color on a national broadcast.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the Canes don't have a shot

4/17/2014 10:55:11 PM

Not much of a limb.

4/17/2014 10:55:44 PM

that's what she said

but yeah, good game in Colorado

4/17/2014 10:59:55 PM

Colorado and Minnesota is a rougher game than I expected.

4/17/2014 11:09:06 PM

well...was a good game

4/17/2014 11:18:11 PM

Sharks/Kings escalated quickly. Switched over from Blues/Hawks to check in. Score was 1-0 SJ with 1:30 to go in the 1st. Switched back when the period was ending and it was 3-0.

Also, this St Louis game is pretty good.

4/17/2014 11:30:31 PM

LOL

hey hey whaddya say they score!

4/18/2014 12:22:04 AM

wow

4/18/2014 12:22:28 AM

Patrick Roy is a crazy sonofabitch, but I'll be damned if that hasn't worked for them several times this season.

4/18/2014 12:24:43 AM

Called Steen but didn't win Bucci challenge.

I love Patrick Roy so much.

Kings just made it 5-2.

4/18/2014 12:51:39 AM

Go Rangahs! Great start.

4/18/2014 12:56:56 AM

You're killing me, Blackhawks...

4/19/2014 9:13:09 PM

Quenneville gets $25k for grabbing his balls.

Lucic gets $5k for SPEARING someone ELSE'S balls, something he has done in the past ON VIDEO.

What a world.

Canadiens Game 3 Pregame Intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7DNau3UBqQ

4/21/2014 11:15:11 AM

Rookie Nathan MacKinnon has 6 assists and 1 goal in two playoff games for the Avalanche.

The goal is nasty too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4kxgxcwkA8#t=15

This assist was equally filthy

the only "old Southeast" team in the playoffs is down 0-3 to Montreal

4/21/2014 4:52:48 PM

Why did they not START Gudlevskis in game 4? Lindback hasn't shown anything to match Price from what I've seen. After the Canada-Latvia game, you have to think there's a chance he can step in and steal at least one game.

4/23/2014 9:02:03 AM

^ definitely agree

however, when they put him in at the end of game two he gave up a turrrrible goal losing the forward behind the net

4/23/2014 10:21:10 AM

I could write a really long post about being a goalie on a good team versus being a goalie on a bad team, but would anybody care?

penguins looking about as good holding a lead as nc state usually does

aaaaand there it is.

Lightning must be missing Martin St Louis. Rangers should win 4 games to 2.

Jesus, I know. Not like you couldn't see the result coming from a mile away, too. And now everyone will talk about how terrible Fleury is. Of course, he was downright awful from the tying goal on, but for the first 59 minutes of the game he was outstanding.

[Edited on April 24, 2014 at 1:42 AM. Reason : ]

4/24/2014 1:40:32 AM

i dont know if ive seen a player look as resigned to their fate as Fleury looked during that OT

4/24/2014 3:05:17 PM

We need a "Fuck this, I'm out" gif for that OT goal

4/24/2014 3:15:57 PM

^ nothing can beat the reaction tim thomas had after scott walker scored on him to win the series

lol, i just noticed that he was in such a hurry to GTFO that he skated facefirst into bergeron (?)

yeah, that was a dumb play followed by a soft goal, but the pens basically tried to run out the clock after the first period with the ol' "dump and not chase"

they looked like tom o'brien with a 7-0 lead: "there's only 9 minutes left in the first quarter, welp just better run it up the middle every play, that should do it"

[Edited on April 24, 2014 at 7:05 PM. Reason : =]

4/24/2014 6:57:10 PM

^That seems to have Jacques Martin's fingerprints all over it. Of course, it would also seem that there was some poor execution on the players' part.

4/25/2014 12:26:16 PM

^ No way. They forced a dump-in and came back to cover. You can argue that they didn't win the race, but coverage is coverage. That goal's 100% Fleury.

4/25/2014 11:14:39 PM

I was speaking more to the point that the Pens were trying to ice the game away with a whole period to play. I totally agree that goal was entirely on Fleury.

4/26/2014 1:16:04 AM

Oh, gotcha.

4/26/2014 7:29:45 PM

Hawks Win! Hawks Win!

Now I just need for Minnesota to get their act together and I'll be set.

4/27/2014 5:59:07 PM

what an insane first round - great come back on the ducks / stars game for the 100th OT of this round

4/27/2014 11:00:38 PM

Penguins pulling an NC State again?!

[Edited on April 28, 2014 at 9:45 PM. Reason : no. ]

4/28/2014 9:28:54 PM

w00t, let's go Flyers! If Steve Mason can play like that again tonight we might actually advance!

Screw the garden, we got this.

4/30/2014 10:33:27 AM

Way to go Rangers! Damn good series. Keep it going!

4/30/2014 9:45:35 PM

Wiiiiiillllddddd

5/1/2014 12:35:35 AM

I was really hoping that the goal would be at the same time as Andrew Brunette's goal that retired Roy (and depressed me for a week) in '03, but there's around 1:25 difference.

5/1/2014 12:48:36 AM

What a great night for the sport.

Also would like to point out that I went 8/8 on my series predictions in the bracket prediction thing. Of course, this is the first year that I haven't put any money on any of the series

[Edited on May 1, 2014 at 12:51 AM. Reason : And that was the absolute Shark-iest series of all time]

5/1/2014 12:50:32 AM

Opening a TweetDeck column with "nigger" right as that goal was scored... yeah. wow.

5/1/2014 11:31:05 PM

You surprised?

5/1/2014 11:31:47 PM

^^I did laugh at one telling the Bruins fans who are tweeting about it to buy Clippers tix.

5/1/2014 11:34:01 PM

Well, no, that's why I did it, but, didn't think it'd be that high of a volume of tweets

5/1/2014 11:39:05 PM

Rangers, if I am going to cheer for your punk asses, please decide to play better.kthx

5/2/2014 8:35:23 PM

Yeah they looked pretty bad in the 2nd and 3rd tonight. But good when it mattered in the OT...

5/3/2014 3:30:16 AM

great goaltending in the 3rd and OT tonight

5/3/2014 11:37:32 PM

set em up
