The Official 2012 NHL Stanely Cup Finals Thread

The Flyers will have to conjure up some goaltending or they won't have to worry about home ice past round two.

Valid point.

Rooting for Washington tonight. Ottawa and New Jersey on Thursday night.

Flyers get home ice up to the Finals!!!

If I'm honest,....after pondering it for a bit; I don't care who the Flyers play in the Semis. I know they have an appalling regular season record against the Rangers but they can't go into the second round expecting any team to be easier to beat than any other team. This is the playoffs,...there are no easy games. I think it would be a disservice for the Flyers to take any teams they might face in the Semis for granted.

If they do get past the Rangers in the Semis,....then the regular season record becomes a wash.

Ehh, I'm rooting against the Rangers and Bruins because of the goalies. Thomas and Henrik are too talented to give a second chance to.

This is the playoffs,...there are no easy games.

Yep. Just ask the Canucks.

I am a Caps fan tonight and a Sens fan tommorrow. I don't really care who wins between florida and jersey.

Go Bruins! Gotta say, regardless of outcome I really respect Holtby, kid has shown nerves of steel. Apparently he has never won a "Series" at any level and looks solid nonetheless.

Game 7's are fun.

He has been a great story this year in the playoffs. I give him credit for not flinching everytime Chara slaps a rocket at him.

7 game 7's in the playoffs last year and whoever scored first won them all according to Mike Emrick. Washington scored first tonight. Let's see if it holds.

Any of you guys have a good sound clip of the puck hitting the post? I want to use it on my Droid.

[chuck norriss]

You can do that on a Droid? That's cool.

Good battles in the East.
Score Mobile is a good app for following games; Yahoo Sportacular has the playoff tree.

Lundqvist, Quick, Rinne are the choices for the Vezina. I'll take Lundqvist.

Seguin's goal is my favorite of the playoffs so far. What a great goal. I love that kind of shizzle. Beautiful.

I'll take Quick.

What kind of jack*** ref calls a penalty with 2:30 left in the 3rd period of a game 7?

 

[Sonic_Death]

It's only fitting that Boston is going to overtime after the series they've had. Lots of chances in the 3rd for each time to bury it. Holtby has been a beast.

 

[MJ5150]

That's it, that's all....the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 SC Champs are now out of the playoffs.

-Mike

 

[Broadstbully22]

What a game. Glad to see the caps pull it out. That was some good hockey.

 

[Sonic_Death]

Man.. Thomas can't be happy about that one. Knuble was so deep in the crease and Thomas just didn't have time to get over to the post. Unfortunate, but the Caps deserved the win all around.

 

[MJ5150]

Yep, I'll hear all about that goal in the morning from my co-workers. Thomas was stuck like Chuck, poor guy.

-Mike

That fn sucks. I think I liked Washington better when Boudreau was coaching. At least then they'd fold when you wanted them to.
