SO SAD SO SORRY NHL NEWS

Bye bye Bruins and your record winning season!!!

 

And I was worried they would destroy the Pens in round 1. Sadly we missed Playoffs. Now I hope Celtics take a fall.

IMO, the NHL Playoffs is the only one where you never really know. I've seen one 8 seed make it to finals only to lose in 7 games, I think. I've seen 7 seeds make it. I think they may have won it all once. Sure as hell never see that in the NBA.

 

No love for the Bruins, but the Isles and Rangers being eliminated bring me more joy. If Toronto completes this choke job, then it will be wide open for me. Toronto mainly due to annoying fans and media.

 

Crazy stuff in NHL Playoffs!!!

 

I'm just glad the Rangers went up in flames, the headhunting bastards.

 

Speaking of headhunters, I was surprised Benn got the 5 and suspended 2 games

 

Trouba's hit on the 'Canes Jarvis when the series was all but over was sickening. Jarvis, to his credit, glossed over it all by saying "it was a clean hit". It was a cheap shot that served no purpose other than Trouba taking out his frustrations on a defenseless player. That team is full of cheap shot artists. And I'm really satisfied that the Rangers attempt to buy a cup by trading for Tarasenko and Kane blew up in their faces.

 

That was pretty nasty. The Stars completely lost composure last night. Oettinger, who had a great regular season has unraveled at times this post season. Makes what Matt Murray did in '16 and '17 all the more remarkable. Then, Max Domi blew a gasket on Connor Murphy. Hey, at least Max gets it honestly. I'm surprised. I'm rooting for the GK's to win it all, but I expected more fight out of Dallas. Anytime a Dallas team loses, I'm happy.

Defense wins championships. The high-flying Oilers, Devils, Rangers, and Avalanche all bumped off. You have to be sound defensively and you have to have quality goal tending. You can't expect to blitz teams on the score board and win it all. You have to be able to win low scoring, tight checking games. Honestly, I didn't see the Bruins getting knocked out in the first round. I thought they'd run out of gas because of the age of their stars, but I figured they'd get to the Eastern Conference Finals anyway.

 

Sum a ditch! Looks like Beantown going to get to have a game 7 and I'm guessing they will win

 

Suck it Beantown!

 

Good luck Vegas! So many don't have it there.

MAF showed you the way.

 

Really physical SCF so far. Other than game one of the finals, I know Bobrosky has been pretty much lights out. But, even going back to when he started in Philly, then on to the Blue Jackets, I always felt he was somewhat of a head case. The Knights where all over him in Game 1. Hope they keep up the pressure.

 

I want sin city but I also want all the games decided by 1 goal. Only would I enjoy the Penguins kicking ass in SCF. So far, no fun at all but am a little shocked how they are pounding each other. TBH I hope it gets tied 2-2. I want close good games! I want a game 7 in Vegas.

 

Yeah, other than the game four OT winner by Verhaeghe for the Cats, the Knights have pretty much run right over Florida. I'd prefer to see closer games, too. Looks like VGK gets to lift the Cup at home in game 5. Up 7-2 with 10 minutes to go.

 

Freaking Vegas, in it's very short history it has had great goaltending, (MAF!!) making Playoffs and now a Cup. What next the A's become powerhouse in MLB??

 

Also , remember that in todays sports a new franchise gets the best available players right off the bat.
