The NHL Thread

Boston have played 4 less games than anyone else in their division and have 17 games next month.
Yeah, thanks for that. I'm sure that won't harm performance and fitness levels at all.

Boston?

Congratulations on winning one game. You must be very proud.
Makes me very happy that Habs and Bs are destroying the conference though. This is how it should be.

I'll be sure to send Chara a thank-you note.

Chara says thankyou back.

I can't really hear what you are saying because I have 24 Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears.

Every original six team except for Leafs has won a Stanley Cup since Habs did. Teams from Florida and Texas have won since then. Their fans don't even know what ice is and they've still won.

So things are getting pretty crazy in Buffalo....



Even the anthem singer?!

AWESOME game tonight!

This is why I love hockey.

Oh, and:

Jagr has been traded to the Bruins for two prospects and a second round draft pick. The prospects are Cody Payne, a 5th round pick from last year and Lane MacDermid who is 23, has played 8 games so far and has 0 points. He's been below average for Providence,
Oh.
Kay.

IT'S PLAYOFF TIME!



Go Habs Go!

The fucking leafs look like they've been on the penalty kill for the past ten minutes. They can't even touch the puck.

Leafs stupid run of luck finally running out is absolutely glorious! \o/

When it's time to get back to complaining about the leafs, do you think that we can use the shortened season as an excuse and still say we haven't properly made the playoffs since the 04 lockout?

Erik Karlsson is scary good. Like, I'd literally be shitting my pants if I was out there trying to defend against him.


Just blame it on Carlyle and his preference for playing headpunchers like Orr over actual hockey players.

Craig Anderson is just ridiculously good in this game.

I'd be happy with Orr in the lineup every night during the season. But during the playoffs they're all scared to fight, so there's really no need for him.

Add to the fact he plays with Mclaren and McClement, and you get one of the most useless lines in playoff history.

(I'm actually an Orr fan, but there's no need for all three)

Leafs forced game seven! I might head out to Toronto and watch the game at Maple Leaf Square, should be crazy.

Sure is tough to be a Toronto sports fan.

What even is this?

Hahaha. Shut up.

The Kings are going to repeat.

Don't see it. My moneys on Pens.
Though I'd love an original six final.

Kings will defend themselves to another cup. Quick is the best goalie left in the playoffs and the rest of the Kings are just built to be incredibly frustrating to play against.

I think Pittsburgh just has too much firepower. And I'd love to see Iggy get his cup.

Kings/Pens finals

I am not convinced about the Penguins goaltending.

4 game sweep of Penguins, 2 goals conceeded, were never behind the whole series.
Against Pens.
wat

GO BRUINS!
