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.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS

Why is it embarrassing? The Wings were great this post season and had a 3-1 series lead. There's nothing embarrassing about the Blackhawks fighting back and winning the series, that's actually amazing.

Hockey has upsets every year and is more unpredictable than any other sport in that regard, upsets happen all the time and whoever HOT usually gets by.

Because Detroit was not a very good team this year and Chicago is the #1 team in the league. Chicago was the much better team that shouldn't have had to go to game 7 to close out the Wings. Maybe not a 4 straight win, but, come on, fucking sad that they had to go to game 7.

Detroit still should have won the last game.

Anyway, next year, plus, we will be in the same division as Toronto, so it will be even better owning their asses all year <3

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

As far as I'm concerned Ovie's suspension was fair. Pretty much everything Shanahan said in the video can easily be seen by watching the hit. Head shot really has nothing to do with it either. You can not lunge into a check taking your skates clean off the ice before even making contact. Idiotic play by Ovie. That's about it. Michalek should have gotten a fine or a game though. You have to be smarter when pursuing a player into the end boards/corner. He was completely out of control.


I'm really starting to figure out why this thread sucks compared to NFL and NBA. Not enough actual discussion on relevant information. How many people come in here and do nothing but say the score of their favourite teams game? No one cares to read that as if they actually follow the league they probably already know the score of the game. Where are people that actually want to have in-depth discussions on this league beyond discuss their favourite team? Who actually knows anything about this league other than blindly following their home team? Sound off people! This thread can be so much better.

NHL isn't really popular on these boards which is really weird, i know what you mean though.

I'll try and get some discussions going from now on, maybe people will join in.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

I find that insulting, I probably watch the Canucks more than the Ducks(sadly) and plenty of other teams as much as I watch the ducks because I get a lot of games on. And I'm sure most Americans don't get many hockey games other than their local teams because it isn't as big over there, so maybe all they get is mostly their team.

As for who will likely not make the playoffs, I can see the Wild and LA not making it in the west. Wild were red hot in the start of the seaosn and playing great, but it's gone down hill from there and I don't see them making it until the end of the year. LA doesn't seem to have the offensive weapons to make it, or at least their offensive weapons are underperforming, they can only depend on Quick for so long to keep them in games. Basically, unless their goalies maintain their great play all year and don't have any bad stretches, I don't see them making it in the end. Same with the Wild, their goalies were great in the start of the season, but have slowed down since and their offense hasn't been able to make up for the goals they've allowed in.

I feel that either Panthers or capitals will make it in the East, Ovie is underperforming and they have a bunch of injuries that have completely fucked them over which has caused them to go downhill a lot, but it was kind of the same thing last year and they made that huge run near the end of the season and got first place.

I have a feeling Toronto is going to grap that last spot for Ottawa and Ottawa come ninth or something barely missing the playoffs. They are a streaky team so you never know when they might start failing again.

Re: The NHL: Where people get concussions

I want nothing to do with Nash on the Canucks. I wouldn't mind him if he was making ~$5M, but at $7.8M, he'd be the highest paid Canuck. He doesn't deserve more money than the Sedins, Kesler, Luongo, etc.

This. I'm happy with the current line up and Schneider is more valuable to the team as a whole. It'd be cool to see him with the Rangers considering they're already kicking asses and taking names.
