Official 2015 NHL Playoffs Thread
- Thread starter ColonelZulu
- Start date
You'd think the NHL would pick the better officials for the playoffs. Our couldn't decide if they wanted to let the boys play or call penalties. Then blew a handful of calls both ways. Then blew a penalty shot call in OT. Way to go guys.
I'm Proud of the game we played for about 70 minutes. Unfortunately for us, the game was 90 minutes long. You can't take a chunk of time off in the playoffs and expect to win. Hopefully the team that showed up last night and out hit/shot/scored the bewildered Chickenhawks shows back up Friday night.

Kris Russell scored the winner with 0:29 left in the game against the Canucks last night to give the Flames a 1-0 lead in the series. A real Albertan boy from Red Deer. He's entering a bull in the Stampede this year. His name? "The Red Mile."

Believe me when I tell ya...I'm the least cynical guy you might ever meet, and I've been watching this since John Beliveau was a kids...but the reason they've gone and made is straight-up brackets is betting, not watching. A pity, but (even) I think that.
Bleeds Ranger Blue!!!
It would make this ridiculously long mean something if they reseeded the brackets. Top team in the round should play the weakest team remaining.
This is all about betting, not natural rivalries.
If, for instance, the Rangers play the Isles in the 2nd round...sure, great, lots of interest. But, if you reseeded, you'd have a chance for divisional rivals to go toe to toe in the Conference finals for a chance at the cup.
Now THAT makes for interest and stirs up rivalries.

It's all about brackets and fantasy teams. Fantasy football...enough said. For everyone else, it's brackets.
For those of you out there who haven't heard of it (Calgarians had almost forgotten it) this is the Red Mile (well, a small portion of it, anyway):
.......so they loaded up the truck
and moved to Calgary....
Flames that is....
Hockey players, future stars......
I see what you're saying, and it is a good point, I kinda agree.....but I'm wondering....
Would you be saying the same thing if the rangers were the 8 seed?
Like I said, good point; and this year, especially with the impending retirement of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, I think my head would explode if it would have been possible that the Islanders and Rangers ended up playing in the Eastern conference final. What a send off for that arena that would be.
With an Islanders victory in that scenario, cup or no, Isles fans would be standing tall in the road to block those bulldozers.
Canucks need to step up their game. Their last playoff victory was Game 4 against LA in 2012. That's kind of sad.
Their record in the playoffs since Game 6 against Boston is 1-10 (counting last night's loss).
Sad. Sad.

Boom! That's one win for the RANGERS. 15 more to go.
Fantastic 1st period. Pittsburgh had no discipline and no answer for the NYR forecheck. Rangers played down for the other two periods. But, they held on.

...Thinking about changing my name to "Bleeds Ranger Blue"...my avatar to a picture of my cousin, Brendan, kissing The Cup...Your thoughts?
Again I go three out of four.
I thought Winnipeg had that one, but Scorey Perry comes up big when it matters. Impressive.

I did state it was for betting--with a fringe benefit if people watch because they're betting on the games--The NHL doesn't really directly benefit from you betting on their games--but if it raises the interest level and gets people to watch--they're all for it.
From the comments I'm reading about the Anaheim/Winnipeg game, I'm glad I didn't stay up late to watch it. I honestly don't think there are two players I dislike more than Perry and Kesler. This is only half to do with being a Kings fan and the other half them being who/what they are. I can appreciate Perry's scoring abilities but everything else about his game is trash.
