Title: NHL Playoffs
Post by: DQ12 on April 18, 2012, 09:12:55 PM
What a great first round so far!  All the OT games.  That ridiculous Pittsburgh Philly series.

My favorite playoffs in pro sports.* 

*I hate all other pro sports except NBA playoffs.

Agree on the Pitt/Philly series

Phoenix and Chicago have had an entertaining series too.

Overtime in hockey  :excited:

I was in vancouver last year during the finals, missed out on the riot by a day, playoffs turn even the mildest of the little canadians into savages.

Phoenix-Chicago series has been fun.  Poor Hossa.

Man both of Phoenix's last two overtime goals were soft.

Yea sucks for Hossa, and now it looks like Chicago is all but eliminated.

I mean, I don't even know how to feel right now.  Every win the Coyotes have had the last two weeks has been the biggest win in franchise history.  Such a great feeling, this feels so much better than last time Phoenix was up 3-1 in a series.

Also Hossa is a bitch, I've hated him since he hopped teams whoring for a title.

Florida, WOOF!  I thought they would win this series but they are done, NJ beat the holy hell out of them.

I hope Philadelphia destroys Pittsburgh and Crosby actually fights and he gets his ass beat as bad as whomever Bissonnette crushed tonight.

Also where in the hell are all of the Vancouver fans who were posting last year?

Devils in 6. Too much experience on NJ's end. Goaltending is huge and let's face it, Martin might be the best to ever play.

Brodeur is one of the best ever, but at this stage of their careers I'd say Quick is just as good, if not better. I think LA's physical style will wear down NJ over the course of the series.

The eff?  History isn't crap.  Brodeur, as magnificent as he's been, would be somewhere around 8th right now if you ranked all the playoff goalies.  Devils got to this point by staying true to their system and having a good balance of scoring.  Unfortunately LA will win in 5 or 6.
