Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Lundquist's left shoulder is toast (I know that feeling). This series is ovah.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

If it wasn't for the king the rags would have gotten run out of the building, B's easily should of had five or six tonight? :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

I can't wait for the Thursday Game

They showed some serious dominance Last night.
But let's put the nail in the coffin and don't let them get any hope.

2010 still makes me :pu

Then we have the Torres suspension. Which is a steaming pile of bs. For voicing facts about the suspension Wilson was fined $100k.

I just see too many strange things in this strike shortened season.

I agree the disallowed goal was a bad call that did change the game but, so was the non-call (when Franzen was boarded) that led to the Hawks first goal. Pasting a guy in the numbers sending him face first into the glass has been consistently called for the past 4+ years in both the regular season and playoffs. Given the league's recent overwhelming concern for preventing head injuries I was stunned they didn't make that call.

It has been a heck of a series. Glad to see my Wings up 2-1 but if they can't win again on Thursday, it's a best of 3 with 2 of them in Chicago.

A lot of the local talk is how this post-season the Wings are a low seed, jammed with rookies/young talent, with few expectations coming in, and have no pressure. In the past as a high seed they would often carry play, outshoot an opponent 50-20, yet struggle to scratch out goals & wins against young teams with a good goalies.

It's been fun to watch and I really look forward to seeing some of the youngsters progress. Nyquist, Brunner, Anderson, DeKeyser, Smith, Erickson, and others are all very young and getting better every game. That said, they are also still prone to mistakes you don't expect from your vets.

Why? What happened in 2010? ;)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Apparently Brad Richards is a healthy scratch for the NYR in their elimination game tonight....

Wonder how the Rangers, Rangers front office and fans are feeling about that 60M contract....

Ouch. :gary

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

I never thought Richards was worth a fraction of that contract, and he is proving it once again this season.

As horrid as the refing was in 2 and 3 of S&K series I thought game 4 they did a decent job of not controling the outcome. Wont get to watch game 5 though as got to get up in the middle of the night to drive kid to socal for 2 hockey tournaments.

Three bruins cut wide open with sticks and no calls?

It was something watching Bergeron being stitched up on the bench and not missing a shift.

The Rangers have not had a penalty called on them in a few games.
I expect more of the same tonight?

Looks like MSG has turned into the Montreal Forum.

Why I'll never see him as a #1 .. what can I say I hold a grudge for a long long long time.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Rask vs Thomas numbers.

"@JamesStewart81: Tim Thomas Cup year - 10 games 7-3 2.30GAA 93.5%
Tuukka Rask now - 10 games 7-3 2.30 93.0% #Bruins #BruinsTalk"
:D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Numbers.... we don't need no stinking numbers. Told you you can't change my mind, just think if he didn't take himself out of so many plays after his first stop what incredible numbers he'd have hmm yah think about that :P

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

F-ing choke job tonight...snatched defeat from the jaws of victory :mad:

We are still talking about hockey right?

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Lettuce not panic, Boston has em on home ice Saturday and will seal the deal. Wish I could say I see them winning the Eastern Conference but I don't...Blackhawks better get their asses moving 3 period.
