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

Theoretically, all the western series could end at 4-1 (5 games) and all the eastern series could end at 4-2 (6 games)

Weird.

This Bruins team is very frustrating.

Toews sends the series back to Chicago. Yotes still up 3-2, but we have a Game 6 Monday night.

First time since 1951 that a series had its first 5 games go to OT.

ok im up!! Dont think ive ever been up this early to watch NHL Hockey, its not even 9am yet in the Rockies. We got 12 straight hours of playoff hockey today

Dang, the Pens have been outplayed so far today. Hope MAF and the gang can get it together in the 3rd period!

After being out yesterday and today in Nashville and the surronding area, it was awesome to see the support for the Predators. I haven't forgotten that we came very close to losing this team a few short years ago! Even if we lose in the second round I think this franchise has enough traction to survive and thrive!

12 hrs of hockey today as Bilko stated! Gotta love it!

Congrats to the Preds, Blues for advancing.

Pens gotta stay outta the box.

 

[robert67]

Congrats to the Flyers for advancing as well as the Blues. Bruins/Caps should be another good one!

Wow, the Bruins score and get a lead. I forgot what that was like in this series.

That was short lived. the Bruins have taken some tough bounces and hit the post quite a few times, but it's pretty clear that they aren't the better team this series.

Sucks that the Pens are out already but congrats to the Flyers. Flyers got a really good young team that will compete for many years. Even though im a Pens fan they have a couple young players that i like, like Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn, who i have liked since his junior days in WHL.

I hope the Los Angeles Kings can end their series tonight, i am so looking forward to the game later.

Robert- I was curious if Kids in Nashville ever play street Hockey? Or is that something the kids dont do?

 

[MojoDan]

I really dont want to see the Bruins exit this early...

Bilko, funny you should ask. We are on a waiting list(!) for a goalie stick right now at a local sports store for my 11 year old son!

I'm sure we could order one but my son wants to buy it locally! Some of our neighborhood kids are trying to play but none of them can inline skate yet.

There are actually some youth and high school programs here. Glad to see it isn't all about football down here!

Don't need roller blades. Just run!

 

[robert67]

LOL! That's what they do! They like to play in the garage so they can throw body checks against "the boards".

Too funny to watch, but they take it seriously!


Robert

 

[robert67]

OT for the Bruins and Caps!

What a playoff season so far!

Hey, I'll admit I feel kinda dirty rooting for an AH like Ovie, who was Awesome that last half of the Period, but that's how much I dislike the B's...

But I WOULD root for the Saints, if that Helps! :lol:

You're going to have to wait at least a few more days

 

[gt2590]

That's OK 21, as long as at least one of the Stinkin' Rangers or Bruins lose, I'm Happy. Both would be great, but I'll take either one. :lol:

Really looking forward to another big game for the Canucks tonite. It's kinda amazing the difference with both Sedins in the Lineup...
