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

[matchpenalty]

Love intensity and hate in playoffs. Why they are so great. NHL regular season was snooze fest most of the time. Please NHL don't suspend Backstrom. He will get his on the ice!

Andrew Shaw got 3 games for running into Mike Smith. Ridiculous. I can't believe how inconsistent Shannahan is with these suspensions. Shea Weber gets fined for smashing Zetterberg's face into the glass, and Shaw gets 3 for running over the goalie. It's just ridiculous. Shaw should have got a 1 game suspension at the most.

 

[gonzagacubs]

Forgot to add, that I am curious to see what other suspensions come from the Pens Flyers game 3 fiasco.


Oh, by the way, Go Hawks!

God, Raffi Torres is a bitch. That's two years in a row, that POS has made a dirty hit on a Blackhawk in the playoffs. I hope somebody goes head hunting on him sometime in the near future.

Raise your Hand if you had the Preds winning both those games in Detroit. And Florida coming back from 3-0 to win in NJ.

Unreal...

 

[Krusin]

Can't wait for Friday night, would love to finish this series at home. We get 3 shots at it & hopefully Hal Gill will be back.

Preds win! Cant believe Pekka Rinne!

BTW, the officiating has been AWFUL in this series for both teams, IMHO.

Never thought in my 14 years of following this team that they would ever reach this point against the Wings. Rest assured the Wings aren't going to quit. But, I'm going to enjoy this ride for at least one night!

GO PENS, GO KINGS!!!!


What a great night for Hockey, wish i didn't have to go to work

 

[gt2590]

It'll be interesting to see if the Flyers come out slow again. Usually I would think they would think it's a Win with all the Suspensions and the 3-0 lead, but I think "Lavey" is prepared to couter-act that...

8-3 Penguins!

I forget his screen name off hand here, but does anyone remember this guy that used to post all the time here in Hockey? His name was Jared from Vancouver. Big Canucks fan and collected Larry Walker in Baseball? He's been with our community for years and years and was on old BMB with all us too.

Does anyone know who im talking about? Haven't seen him in forever, i hope everything is ok with him.

 

[G $MONEY$]

HAWKS SCORE!!! Tie game late in 3rd.


Washington beat Boston as well. Series tied 2-2

Only 1 other series in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs has had the 1st 4 games go to OT. Phoenix-Chicago heading to another OT. Crawford needs to step up and make some huge saves for the Hawks.
