Keep it going Preds!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Game 7 in Nashville! :)

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

We gots a Game 7. Even though I was rooting for the Jets last night, gotta love a Game 7. I had my own game so I missed the late game, but was happy to be able to watch Ovie and Kuz send Sidney and Gino golfin'. :tu

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Go watch the highlight of Forsberg's between the legs goal. :banger

Edit: Here it is. Skip to 56 seconds: https://www.nhl.com/predators/video/...416/c-60292503

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

His own legs AND the d-man's legs. Nice goal. :tu

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Two nights in a row without hockey tonight and tomorrow. I actually mowed the lawn and finished the laundry. :r

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Everyone I know wanted to see the match up between the Preds and Jets. It was everything we expected, and I think the St Boniface ER was loaded with patients with chest pain this week. Great series for sure. The fans on both sides are super passionate, and it is great to see the rivalry build.

Anyway, last night was interesting:

The Preds fans have a chant "it's all your fault!" - for game 7 I have 3 candidates:

Poor Rinne, who had two crazy goals get by in the first 10 minutes - not sure I really can lay it on him...
Ryan Ellis, who skated around gently while Stastny blew by and got up close and personal with the goalie. (One of the most tenacious forwards around the net - what are you thinking?)..

No, not him either.

For me it's that twit Subban. We've watched his antics all season long - writhing in apparent pain, crawling to the bench after a hit. Such B.S. Last night he was checked by Kyle Connor, who must be all of 165lbs. Subban went flying as if hit by a train or possibly even Dustin Byfuglien. To add insult to injury Subban scored on the ensuing power play.

But Karma is a ***** my friend.

Diving and writhing belongs on the soccer field, not on the ice. He doesn't deserve to be in the NHL, and certainly doesn't deserve to be in the conference finals. Good riddance, I don't have to watch your bullsh*t till next Fall.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I am still heartbroken. Now I'm gonna root for anyone but Canada.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Ironically most of the top Jets players are Americans!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Oh - and Subban is Canadian. How embarrassing is that?

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I like Subban. That being said, that penalty he drew was a joke, at least it should have been 4 on 4 with maybe the most outrageous embellishment I've seen so far in the playoffs. OK, top 3. :r

Jets - Vegas will be like the Stanley Cup for me. I put my dough on the Jets.

Caps - Boltz? I will be betting on Tampa but rooting for DC.

Just hope it's as good as Round 2 was.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

It’s ok elderboy my jets decided to end your season!!! And you have to say the best series is yet to come. Jets vs knights will be a great test of both teams.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Well to be honest I am relieved that the preds got lost.

I think the best match up in the series is coming up in the knights jets match up. I think Tampa is going to be a short series.

All that being said its still better than no hockey.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Congrats to Vegas!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Amazing story. Wish I had been "dumb enough" to put $100 on them before the season started.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

This Vegas run has been fun. We’ve talked about driving down for a night, just to be part of the pregame festivities outside of the arena.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Should be a good finals.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

So fun. Good to see Ovi get in and super excited for Vegas. I’m rolling Vegas, but I wouldn’t cry if Ovi got etched on the cup.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Capitals break the Capitals' curse!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Lightning looked terrible last night, Caps definitely wanted it. Should be an interesting Cup series though!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Glad to see Winnipeg didn't make it :)

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I'm right in that same boat, E.J., I'm rooting for Vegas but would think it was super cool if Ovechkin got the Cup. Mostly just hoping for a great series!

At least they crushed Nashville before they exited. :wo :lr

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Crushed? The series went 7 games :r

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

They got a two week head start on the golf course. Ask Filip Forsberg if going 7 games made it better. ;) :r

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

It still means that Nashville packed up lockers two weeks before Winnipeg!! Plus they just showed that if Nashville can’t do much without Rinne. It was a good series but Nashville still lost which meant we don’t have the peanut gallery of Elderboy praying and hoping that Nashville can play hockey!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I wanna hear Dan name 5 players on Nashville without looking. ;) :r

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I fulfilled my end of the Bruins-Lightning "Jersey Bet" Stephanie and I have. Lana...Lana...LANAAAAAAAAA!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Next game ... Monday

In the last few years ... sometimes a week before finals start

With a total lack of continuity at the beginning of the finals ... is it any wonder that hockey is looked at as minor league sport ???

NHL big heads should get their act together ... only people still interested in hockey are in Vegas and Washington .

A week is just tooooooo long

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I'm still in a deep blue funk. Team ran out of gas and had no idea what to do with Fleury after game 1.

Now rooting for Ovechkin, but I'm afraid goalies win the Stanley cup, and right now Fleury is HOT.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I can name almost everyone. Watched a lot of Nashville games

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Couldn't agree more, D. How do they let the momentum of both teams cool for 6+ days? :confused:

I stand corrected and apologize, Dan, you have become a real fan. :tu

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Here we go!!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Well Vegas has a couple Bruins on their team, guess that's something to go with, love the note the Raiders sent them "Just Win, Baby!".

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Watching game 1 and it is pretty fun not rooting for either team. Enjoyable!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Dang freaking baseball game...awesome start

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Fun game, crazy scoring. Wilson is a phucking doucenozzle.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

no doubt what a jack ass. cheater.lol

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

wussup son! how you like my boys? lol

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

I'm hoping for 6 more just like that! :wo

I know, Freddy, I know...you're hoping for 3 more just like that. :lr

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

What a game yep Tom 6 more like that will be a great Stanley cup

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Freddy they are looking really good

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

i know i can taste them Don Candido, Dunhill and Davi's already..LoL..No actually i wanna see 6 too. Be cool to see it go all the way to the end neck in neck with everyone on the edge of their seat sweating it and not even caring who wins. Just that its the most exciting Game of any sport to ever be on national TV

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

19 hours 'til Game 2! :ih :wo :wnr

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Washington REALLY wants the Cup.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

That was tough to watch....

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Looks like Vegas blew their wad early in the playoffs...

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Man, either Vegas is really terrible, or Washington is very good.

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Congrat's to the Cap's!

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Congrats to Ovechkin finally getting his! :tu

Re: NHL '17- '18 Season Thread
 

Even though the series wasnt very close, we got to see some great maybe even incredible hockey. Congrats to the Caps and Ovechkin.
