I'm not a Caps fan in the least, but that Holtby is a stud!

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

You really think so? I thought he looked pretty shaky several times tonight.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

They are still selling them at their practice rink, which is just over a mile away. Lke $6 apiece, I wouldn't throw more than 1 per series. :r

A third string goalie who gives up 12 goals in 7 games to the 2nd best offense in the NHL regular season? I vote "stud" as well, at least in Round 1.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

The second round could be a whole different universe. I'll clarify and say First Round Stud for Holtby :)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

His stats were stellar, no doubt! I was really just commenting on last night's game, not the series as a whole. The Caps played a great game in front of him, but I thought Holtby looked vulnerable last night. :2

The kid is going to get lit up like a christmas tree.
Yes he made a lot of saves 40 foot shots, bad angles no one in front of the net to pick up rebounds
The B's were flat and generated no offense and didn't bring the physical or skating game.
Very disappointed with the effort and the power play.
Congratulations to the Caps and their fans they wanted it more. :tu

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Not sure, but IF (big if) they make the finals, I'll buy some beforehand and bring them with me to a game. :tu

Solid start at the Garden today. Kreider is going to be a player.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Looking forward to tonights game.
The team that did everyone a favor in knocking out the Canucks vs the team in the west that seems to be emerging as the favorite.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Go, Favor Team! :D

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Heroes of the Day...The Dustins.

Penner for an awesome patient assist on L.A's first goal, and a bank shot capper to end the night.

Brown for being a short-handed threat every penalty kill, and getting the short-handed assist on the game winner. :wnr

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Flyers started out very sluggish yesterday, but were able to overcome it (again). Bryz was one of the few Flyers that showed up to play in the first period, and kept them in the game.

Giroux and Briere had big games again, and JVR really played well after limited action in the first series and missing much of the season. If he can approach his level of play of last year's playoffs he'll be another big offensive threat for the Flyers.

And great news that Meszaros is close to coming back. For much of the year, he was the Flyers best defenseman, IMHO.

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Saw the last 2 periods. Flyers carried the play. They are just better then Jersey. Cant see them loosing the series.

I am suprised the Yotes are having no issues with Preds. Will be interesting if its Kings v Yotes for West. The powers that be have to be loving the Yotes cup run. Los like they will make the conference finals. I love the salary cap era as a Wings hater. As I kept saying on here two years ago going to be a while till they see a cup again. Then again atleast they have seen it. Sharks chances dont look good any time soon either.

Poke poke.
This thread is dead because almost no one has a horse now.

I still love playoff hockey, Mike, so I will be here until the bitter end. ;)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

I know you will brother and so will I.
I love the game regardless if I have a team in the hunt or not. The not is very common.

Lets go Caps, lets go Blues

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Let's go Caps, Let's go Kings! ;)

Re: NHL '11 - '12 Thread
 

Not really caring who comes out of the East now. I can see virtually any of those 4 making it to the finals though.

My money is on the Preds or Blues taking the cup now, although I would not be surprised with any outcome. What a crazy playoffs so far!

Which Cap is your friend now?

Carlsen flopped like he was playing soccer...then the ref swallowed like Monica
