2013-2014 NHL playoffs thread.

[Darth Handsome]

A few observations from this afternoon:

-It just occured to me that Dallas and New York have the same damn uniforms. They thought they'd just change the colors & sneak it by us.

-I can't decide if Giroux looks cool or stupid with those orange curly wings sticking out his helmet. Either way, you'd be hard pressed to find a more impressive permanent in the league.

-Watching a game on NBC and not having to listen to Pierre Maguire is like comin on home. God bless you, Brian Engblom. God bless you.

I prefer tsn broadcasting the playoffs. They are also a bit biased but compared to cbc or NBC.....

Man Philly needs to put Hagelin on his butt a few times hard. Getting out hustled and physically dominated so far If it was a face off contest Philly'd win hands down. . .

The Wild are in trouble - especially if the officiating continues to be so obviously bad and mostly one sided.

They sure crapped the bed on that tying goal.

Jeez, I wish Hitchcock would start taking better care of himself soon. He's too old to be tempting fate like he is.

Agreed the offsides call was blown. Overall looks to me the series hasnt been called different than the others.

Maybe it was hockey karma fixing the play Cooke only got 2 minutes for.

+1, great coach, poor health

As was the holding right before. I'm not one to blame everything on officials, but there have been some pretty obvious missed or non calls lately. Not just I this series, just inconsistent in general.

Not calling that hold when the net is empty was asinine. Colorado can get bent. ...and I don't know what the hell an "Av" even is.

"What's your team called?"
"The Avs."
".....uh......cool?"

At least they use a shortened version of the actual team name (the Avalanche, y'know ). As opposed to the Habs.

....wouldn't it be......the "Av" and not the "Avs"? They're not called the "Avalanches", are they?

I sure miss the Nordiq..........err, the Nords.

Agree on the Habs. **** 'em.

 

[Ziltoid]

Go habs?

 

[MJ5150]

At least I was right about St. Louis.

That non-goal in the Flyers/Rangers game was atrocious yesterday. The camera angle they showed still looked to me like the ref had a better look at it than the camera did and I could still see it from the side view camera behind Mason's skate blade on the ice.

Going to be interesting watching Tuesday night's game in Philly. With the way this series has been getting called, certain things are sure to get out of hand very fast.

My KINGS still alive with an impressive performance Sat night & a shut-out for Quick who's back to form. At home tonight for game 6.

God I hope we force Game 7. The momentum is on our side right now and we better not lose it. San Jose is starting to crack. Let's chip away at it and render them the worse chokers in the NHL since the Vancouver Canucks.

Pretty awful way for Dallas' season to end. In the last three minutes of regulation the Stars looked like the Nazis at the end of Raiders after the Ark was opened.

 

[chuck norriss]

Go habs?

montreal vs boston--since 1929
