~~~ THE HOCKEY TALK THREAD 2011-12 PLAYOFFS ~~~

kinda cool though that Ray Bourque's son is gonna be playing in Boston

Chris Bourque is awful I don't see him making the B's lineup.

he played a few games here for the Penguins and he was the worst player on the ice every time he stepped on the ice.

in my opinion this was a horrible trade for the Bruins.

Ya

I don't know how you can trade Luke Skywalker.

I'm sure a lot had to do with the fact that Hamill's contract is up and they realize there's just nowhere for him to play and they can't justify paying him the money to sit back in Providence for another couple years. Bourque may be bad, but the name should be enough to get the fans not hating on losing a former first round draft pick for nothing.

Anze kopitar on a breakaway in OT Wins it. WOOT! GO KINGS!

 

[AK11]

Even though it is only game 1, I had a tear in my eye watching Anze score. This is definitely going to be a hard fought series, tooth and nail.

 

[AK11]

Well, the Kings sneak by again in OT. Very interesting to see how this series goes down in LA Monday and Wednesday nights.

 

[thefatguy]

LA is a Juggernaut on the road

 

[G $MONEY$]

Cant wait to see what movie stars and celebs have jumped on the bandwagon and will be at Staples center monday and Wednesday nights!
GO KINGS GO

 

[AK11]

Kings win again in dominant fashion, but it will be tough to win the last one. Kopitar is now tied with Kovalchuk for the most points this playoffs, but the Conn Smythe will still be given to Quick if they win it all.

 

[pghbuccos]

dominate is an understatement. the Kings have just been absolutely incredible and I don't think they will have any trouble wrapping it up on Wednesday.

 

[All In Cards]

Devils must be tired. Long series will do that to you. Look at all the rest the Kings have gotten this playoffs.

Just wish the kings would have won it years ago with Gretzy. Damn you Marty for having too much of a bend on your stick.

 

[AK11]

The Kings encountered a hiccup. Back to NJ and hope they show that road magic, but I was concerned about the offense not getting by Brodeur. It was a close game again, but I had a feeling when NJ scored first, that they would win. Like the analysts said, the Kings need to show they want it bad enough when it comes down to the final game to clinch.

 

[pghbuccos]

well I was wrong about Game 4 but I definitely think the Kings will wrap it up tonight in New Jersey.

 

[MojoDan]

well I was wrong about Game 4 but I definitely think the Kings will wrap it up tonight in New Jersey.

Let's hope so.

 

[G $MONEY$]

1-0 New Jersey after the 1st. Come on LA, i want to see Darryl Sutter hoist the CUP TONIGHT!!!!!!!

 

[AK11]

Congratulations to the LA Kings for hoisting the Stanley Cup. Jonathan Quick gets the Conn Smythe for his awesome goaltending, and Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown finish with identical stats to lead the NHL in points, goals, assists, and plus/minus for the playoffs.
