Eleven Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I missed the third because I was on the phone the whole time, but the first two periods were incredible hockey. I think we're going to like this series more than the Eastern and more than the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 That was game 2 my man, series is tied :thumbsup: Shows how much I've been following this years playoffs. Conference Finals match ups aren't what I was pulling for. Out of the 4 teams remaining I'd have to go w/ Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the ducks vs preds pinned as a match up, but my eastern conference final, for some reason I thought the caps wouldn't choke this year :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) So Johansen hates Kessler “He just blows my mind. I don’t know what’s going through his head out there. His family and friends watching him play, I don’t know how you can cheer for a guy like that. It just doesn’t make sense how he plays the game. I’m just trying to go out there and play hockey and it sucks when you have to pull a stick out of your groin every shift.” https://www.fanragsports.com/news/ryan-johansen-fighting-words-ryan-kesler/ Edited May 15, 2017 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's so funny how fans out here in Vancouver Canucks country could never understand why the rest of us hated Ryan Kesler. And then he became a Duck and was like "oh, now I get it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabel79 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's so funny how fans out here in Vancouver Canucks country could never understand why the rest of us hated Ryan Kesler. And then he became a Duck and was like "oh, now I get it!" He's like a smarter, more talented Matthew Barnaby. Everybody hates him except the team he's on at any particular moment.

Iron Crotch Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 The Ducks (especially Kessler & Perry) play a dirty game, but I also don't blame them. Refs tend to put away the whistles during the playoffs, so if stuff isn't getting called then why not push the boundaries of the rules?

ubkev Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Rust just got hammered by Princess Dion. I saw the 7 on his sweater and immediately thought we'd be seeing a candlelight vigil for Crosby. But it was 17 not 87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I can't believe THIS Ottawa team has a chance to go to the final. The NHL really needs to take a look at the current playoff format. Like them or hate them, there's no reason the reward for finishing 2nd overall for the Pens should be to have to battle through the 4th ranked team overall, followed by the 1st ranked team overall, getting very beat up in the process, where Ottawa, owing to the vastly inferior Atlantic Division, gets a (relative to the Pens) easy road through to the conference final. You can really see the advantage showing itself early in this series. The playoffs always need to be carrying the most weight, certainly, but the current format has the NHL regular season bordering on meaningless. I suppose this could benefit the Sabres in the future, and I won't complain then, if it does, but still :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh would've had the BJ's then Moe-Ray-All. Those 2 likely would've survived & playing 2 western teams right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Oh my gosh Guy Boucher is trying to kill the game again. And the league is allowing this. Another lucky bounce OT game I'm guessing? Wake up, NHL. (Insert Roenick clip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
