I think it'll be Rangers vs Canucks.

Rangers are the best team in the east and I'll go with the Canucks and their expirience from last year.

Not a bad pick.

What is going to be interesting is the Philly and Pitt series...cant wait to see that match up, so much bad blood.

Love this time of year.

Yeah its gonna be a nasty one for sure. It's fitting they're playing each other in Jagr and Talbot's 1st year with the Flyers.

I think my Wings are in trouble....Helm is out, Pavel is basically on 1 leg (post knee surgery), and Kindl is a liability on D.

Went to the Hawks-Yotes last night. What a rush of adrenaline to get that tying goal with 15 seconds left, and what a punch in the stomach to lose in OT.

Hawks got bullied all game long. I'm beginning to think we should have kept Big John Scott to keep everyone in check.

Seemed like a lot of hawk fans there

Hawks were very well represented in the stands for sure. Flyers are so resilient. Everything you want in a playoff team right now. I'm hoping them and the Kings don't lay an egg at home, and can at least split the next two games.

I know it's crazy what they've done. Much, much different team since the 2 drunks were shipped out.

What amazing games so far....

Dear Philadelphia Flyers

Please, please sweep them dirty pieces of $hit on Wednesday

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I lose so much damn sleep during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Great games so far, alot of sub plots. Love it!

This guy epitomizes my feelings on those ****ing babies.

 

[KPENN]

God f*ck Crosby. If the Flyers do sweep them I'd be so god damn giddy

 

[ACamp1900]

pulling vids from other haters from what... three years ago????? Lax is better than that

anyway, karma is hitting hard on the Pens... first off, deserve to lose with that D... Philly is doing nothing overly special but for playing hard... the D is a joke... and Asham today was really bad... I know that is his job and every team has at least two of him... but he could have ended a career today... the thugs really need to be realed in, in hockey...

in the end it'll take the biggest defensive turn around in league history to stop make this a series again... good for philly, it's about time the forgotten step child of Pennsylvania gets a win... maybe now their fans can stop being so overly step childish and bitter....

and for the love of all things, stop hating on Crosby... I can think of 100 athletes that fully deserve more hate than he, but don't receive 1/10th of it...

So, for my first post in a long time, I had to bring this little bit of joy. I was at the game last night and it was tense, but this hit by Brown turned the game around for the Kings.

Go to the 3:01 mark to watch Henrik try to get back to the bench. Classic! Richards hit on Burrows in Game 1 was pretty good too. Brown has been the man so far this series. He is playing out of his mind!

What a hit. Never thought LA would have to offence to hang with Van, I know Quick is a solid goalie. Good for the Kings.

Quick was awesome last night. He was in perfect position all night. Give the Kings defense some credit too because most of the shots were from the outside. Quick took so many right in to his chest and didn't give up any bad rebounds. 'Nucks had 41 shots, but really not too many great chances.

Well look who it is. Where the f*ck have you been man?

Honestly, not sure where I have been. Work has been kicking my butt. Plus, the wife and I have been in the process of buying a house, so my stress has been through the roof and my time, very limited.

How about your Flyers (sorry ACamp)?!? Schenn and Simmonds look pretty good for you, huh? That was quite a game yesterday. Not sure why Simmonds got the misconduct penalty there at the end. Looked like he was getting ready to go after Neal or Cooke.

Yeah Simmonds had a great regular season too. Schenn had a good one once he got in the lineup got comfortable. But Schenn has been awesome so far in the playoffs.

How bout your Kings? The Canucks are so ridiculously soft and are a bunch of divers, glad to see the Kings taking it to them.

Yeah, there were all sorts of signs there last night like, "Drain the pool" and everytime one of them would fall to the ice, a bunch of people would hold up cards that had "10" and "9.5" and such on them. Pretty funny.

I like this team. I wish they could have won the Pacific, but I think they can do some damage in the playoffs even beyond this round. Canucks are soft, but they are still a talented team. They are very frustrated right now. Wednesday will be interesting. Hoping I get to see the handshake line with the Kings on the winning side of a series. Last two years I have had to watch the opposition celebrate on Staples ice.

I think they'll take care of it on wednesday. The Canucks body language right now doesn't look good. Plus Quick has been ridiculous.

Btw that hit last night by Brown was effing gorgeous

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Is Henrik Sedin the Laverne or Shirley of the twins? F the Canucks, I hope they get swept away, what a bunch of pussies. B's have their work cut out for them. Need the O to start clicking. BTW, stick a fork in the Pens.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I am starting to think that the Senators are going to take the Rangers the distance.

 

[ACamp1900]

I's cool GI... I'm at peace...

lol

good to see you back... Go Kings (obviously)

 

[aubeirish]

I feel you. To me the NHL playoffs is the best show on earth. It rarely disappoints. I hope the wings will bounce back tonight and find a way to beat Rinne.

 

[aubeirish]

I agree to an extent. I really thought Ottawa had their best collective effort of the year last night. That said, it wasn't enough to beat Lundqvist. If he stays that hot, I don't think Ottawa have enough to beat them. I really hope I am wrong. They have to keep bringing the puck to the net and being physical. Good things should happen. The first shift of game 2 kinda shifted the momentum around.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Yes i think NY will win in the end. However i think the Sens are going to make it interesting.

As far as the Wings series, they are up against a hot goalie, oh boy Rinne has made some great saves. The game tonight will tell who will win the series...if Wings win they will win in 6, if Preds win I think they will win out. Just a gut feeling.
