Hawks vs Avs in Western Conference finals, plz.

I'ma try to watch more hockey this year than I did last season (and pretty much every season since Roy retired/ESPN stopped carrying hockey).

Do work, hockey fans.

Senators had the better of the play at 5 on 5 against the Penguins but the Pittsburgh special teams just dominated. On a positive note for the Pens, Geno Malkin had his best complete game of the playoffs. No bad turnovers like in the Isles series.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS

You bandwagoners realize the Bruins/Leafs series was a 4/5 matchup, right? The Bruins played like complete shit down the stretch and couldn't put the puck in the net if their life depended on it. Their power play has been a joke all season and they don't have Timmy Thomas to bail them out like he did in 2011. Although they have most of the same players from 2011 this isn't the same Bruins team and that Leafs team certainly wasn't the same Leafs team from years past. Get your head out of your ass.

Rangers over Bruins in 6
Kings over Sharks in 5
Hawks over Red Wings in 5

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS

This game started off as I expected, 1-0 Hawks, and then an unexpected thing happened and Detroit scored.

If Detroit pulls this off, I will laugh hard in the faces of Hawks fans. Chicago should be owning them the entire series, in the eyes of most, so, a Detroit win, I wont let that go for a while, lol.

It's one game....

Anyway, was pretty amazing that the Hawks managed to only get one goal in after 32 shots on net but the Wings are falling apart.

A tip for the Wings: you have to actually get some shots on goal if you want to score. There is no excuse for 16 shots vs the Hawks 37.

EDIT: Predictable loss.

lolwings. Just got their ass handed to them.
That's cool. I didn't even expect them to make the playoffs without Lids or Holmer, so I call this season a success.

Let me also remind you that you just barely survived against the MAPLE LEAFS, a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 9 years. We just beat the Ducks, 2nd seeded and had an amazing season.

It is very plausible that the final 4 this year could be the last 4 cup champions.

2012 - Los Angeles
2011 - Boston
2010 - Chicago
2009 - Pittsburgh
I hope not, but that would be sort of interesting.

Slow down big fella. I respect the hell of the Wings. Hell I'd go to war for any of the Original Six.

You guys completely took my Pittsburgh statement too literally. Of course I know about all the legends that played in Pitt. I was just trying to say that the fans there are fairweather.

You guys shouldn't get too worked up over a hockey game. You must be a blast to party with.
I live pretty close to Pittsburgh and it seems like they really know their stuff even about back in the day. Of course you're going to get more excited when your team does well but that doesn't mean you weren't a fan before the Crosby era, they might've just been more quiet about it because their team wasn't so good. It's clearly always more fun to root for your team when they're doing awesome.

I literally live hockey, when I'm not playing it I'm watching it, so yeah I get worked up over a hockey game.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS

Attendance was never really an issue, they only had a couple really bad years in attendance if i remember correctly when the team was god awful and even then the local TV ratings were still pretty high. More of the problem was they had terrible ownership and they needed a new arena, lack of fan support was never an issue in Pittsburgh.

This_Guy has no clue what he's even talking about, :lmao.

And if you think they have bandwagon fans, almost every team who wins the cup has bandwagon fans the following year. Even your Bruins have bandwagon fans.

In other news from the World Championships, Alex Edler with a questionable hit on Carolina captain Eric Staal that looked ugly. Link was here but it is now blocked in the US: http://kuklaskorner.com/hockey/comments/eric-staal-injured-in-world-championship-game

Also, it's being reported that Alex Ovechkin had a fractured foot for the last couple games of the series against the Rangers.
