Re: HAWKS for a bit then DRAFT

I went to the Rally parade for the Chicago Blackhawks celebration today at Soldier Field. Luckily enough, out of the 61,000 tickets available, my friend was able to snag four of them right on the field. We stood on the field, about 15 rows from the stage. In my 25 years on earth as a sports fan, nothing compares to today's experience. I've never enjoyed my time in a sporting environment or venue more. It was so incredible that it's almost indescribable. I felt almost euphoric, much like Deso does every other year attending the Giants parade. :toews

FUCKING RIGHT, CHICAGO.

Top 5 Crowd Reactions:
1) Hossa
2) Crawford
3) Coach Q
4) Timmonen
5) Toews

Just lol at some of the prices of the jerseys that the venders were selling in the arena. I saw Duncan Keith jerseys for $300. The demand in Chicago and craze surrounding this team is unheard of. GO HAWKS!

@AryaDark @Joff @Obfuscation @obby @HighFiveGhost

JONES. 22 saves! Shutout streak intact! For the first time in this team's playoff history have they secured back-to-back shutouts! JONES has an approximately 150-minute (?!) shutout run! :mark:

HERTL. Two goals! Such a splendid performance by Hertl throughout the whole game! :mark:

THORNTON. Two assists! Such sweet passes, especially the threading of the needle behind the Blues' net leading to Hertl's second goal! :mark:

DONSKOI. @Banez wondered when he would score and of course I told him that DONSKOI was saving his goals for the Western Conference Finals! :mark:

Spectacular defensive performance! Stifling! Fantastic passing! Such wonderful aggression in the neutral zone, helping to force a bevy of turnovers from the Blues! THORNTON with that takeaway in the neutral zone, sending it to PAVELSKI, who sets up Hertl for Hertl's first goal!

THORNTON's line! :mark: HERTL using his body to serve the puck up to the "Two Joes" so that they can find him again! :mark:

COUTURE controlling the puck off of the one turnover, brilliantly setting up DONSKOI's goal! :mark:

COUTURE's cerebral play is splendid to watch! :mark:

PAVELSKI's athleticism! His prudence! His sense of decorum! Smart playmaking! :mark:

BURNS. He is everywhere on the ice! :mark: His disgust over his Game 1 performance has been palpable throughout both Game 2 and Game 3! :mark:

MARLEAU. :mark:

The SHARKS have boasted electrifying speed, resplendently efficient breakouts and dominant structure as Thornton's potent line has repeatedly served notice!

The SHARKS outhit the Blues! Who could have ever expected that?! :mark:

COUTURE with 20 points in these playoffs! :woo :woo :woo

:woo SHARKS :woo

LET'S GO SHARKS! LET'S GO SHARKS! LET'S GO SHARKS! :mark: :cheer :woo :dance :dance2

Re: NHL: seasons over, 2014 offseason thread

Ladies and Gentlemen history is about to be made. For the first time ever in the history of the FOUR MAJOR SPORTS, there will be a playoff matchup between two Southern California teams as the Anaheim Ducks clash with the LA Kings in the Semi Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. To my Kings fan friends, I will use a quote taken from Chris Rock to describe the 96 NBA Eastern Conference Finals..."This series gonna be a war! Yes a war! That they have to fight and WE get to watch!" May the best team win. If my Ducks pull it off, they will have truly earned it because the Kings are playoff warriors.

Is that seriously true? :confused:

Re: NHL: seasons over, 2014 offseason thread

Mikey is right. Chicago was blowing LA out of the water in local TV ratings. Rangers vs Hawks would have probably broke records.

NBCSportsPR @NBCSportsPR · 10h
LA & Chicago both delivered best-ever NHL ratings on NBCSN for last night’s Gm 7. LA delivered a 4.8 HH rating, while Chicago scored a 22.7.

Chicago is just more of a hockey city, that's pretty much it.

Re: NHL 14/15: Almost there

Here come the predictions sure to be wrong:

Eastern Conference
1. Bruins- still the class of the East
2. Penguins- will take some time to find footing under new coach, Letang will be a monster
3. Canadiens- Galchenyuk is primed to step up big
4. Islanders- love the depth moves, adding Halak after a few years of below average goaltending
5. Lightning- Still not sold on Bishop replicating last year's numbers
6. Rangers- Like the Dan Boyle addition but they'll miss Richards and Pouliot
7. Capitals- Trotz will drive down Ovechkin's numbers, drive up his +/-
8. Devils- Schneider and the old vets will be just enough to sneak in to the playoffs
9. Blue Jackets- Johansen has catching up to do, lineup already pretty depleted with injury
10. Leafs- Better just not there yet, not sure Kadri can be #1 center
11. Flyers- They'll miss Timonen and Hartnell
12. Red Wings- Played way over their heads last year with injuries, Datsyuk sadly showing age
13. Senators- Not quite enough tank-tastic for McDavid but in rebuild
14. Sabres- Enroth will get plenty of work, added enough guys not to finish last
15. Panthers- Arrow pointed upwards, wanted to put them higher, just couldn't find enough reasons
16. Hurricanes- Cam Ward and Eric Staal will be traded by the time they take the ice in 2015-16

Playoffs: Bruins over Devils, Penguins over Capitals, Islanders over Rangers, Canadiens over Lightning

Canadiens over Bruins, Islanders over Penguins

Canadiens over Penguins


Western Conference
1. Kings- A full season of Gaborik with Kopitar will get their offense extra push
2. Stars- Loved the additions of Spezza and Hemsky, think Lehtonen is underrated
3. Blackhawks- Still don't love their D or goalies
4. Wild- Central division is a bear, loved their playoffs but goalie still a big question
5. Ducks- Goalies will have growing pains, eventually will smooth out, Kesler will fit well
6. Blues- Same as Ducks with goalies but I see Jake Allen as undisputed #1 by February
7. Avalanche- Step back but MacKinnon and Duchesne are both stars in the making
8. Oilers- Steadied goaltending, big leap forward from Yakupov fuel the big improvement
9. Predators- Rinne gets a fairly healthy year, still not enough offense
10. Sharks- Bad ju-ju around this team, something needs to be done with Thornton
11. Jets- Not going anywhere until they get a real starting goalie
12. Canucks- Not sold on Lack or Miller leading this team to the playoffs
13. Coyotes- Yandle will get moved, team won't score enough
14. Flames- Paid Deryk Engelland 2.9 per year, should be relegated

Playoffs: Kings over Avalanche, Blues over Stars, Blackhawks over Wild, Ducks over Oilers

Kings over Ducks, Blues over Blackhawks

Blues over Blackhawks

Stanley Cup Finals: Canadiens over Blues


Awards
Art Ross: Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh with 112 points
Hart Trophy: Tuukka Rask, Boston
Vezina Trophy: Tuukka Rask, Boston
Norris Trophy: Drew Doughty, Los Angeles
Rocket Richard Trophy: Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay with 56 goals
Selke Trophy: David Backes, St. Louis
Lady Byng: Matt Duchesne, Colorado
Calder Trophy: Evgeny Kuznetsov, Washington
Jack Adams Trophy: Darryl Sutter, Los Angeles

Please tell me why I'm wrong about your team. I hope I'm wrong about my team and the Penguins go 82-0 and then 16-0.

HOCKEY!!!
