Alright...the kings are out!  |
and the North Stars are still alive... get to game 7 guys.. and that Dallas team collapses in game 7. The Mick guarantee on that. and yes.. VERY worried about he Caps... the wildcard could be play that makes the NHL playoffs SO much more interesting than all those other sports.. yet leads to heavy drinking and beating the family cow... all it takes is one hot goaltender and ..... look at those NBA series... really.. who wastes their time watching that sh*t. Boring and worse.. you know who is going to win. Why play them.. oh yeah.. money...

I thought they reseeded every round...perhaps they never did.. perhaps they changed it since then. Honestly Phil I have no clue what the NHL does now. It is a shame, it is the best BY FAR major sport of them all.. pretty much non stop action, MAD skills, a great mix of homegrown and foreign talent and the playoffs alone rock circles around all the major sports ...and yet saddled with the most amatuerish inept management at the very top. Just think what the NHL would be if you had that sport.. with the brilliance and foresight of leadership that has taken the boring ininspiring NBA which has a near meaningless regular season and by FAR the most boring of all playoffs.. the NHL might rival the NFL
|
They used too. About 3ish years ago they restructured/streamlined the divisions and as a result they had to change the playoff seeding as well. They did not have to change it to what they have now. I suspect it's too make it more "interesting" and 'the general public goes nuts for brackets at march madness so why not in the NHL' line of thinking. Shame...as I'm generally for the best teams meeting as late as possible.
And very true. They excel at being inept. |
funny how fans and the suits have differing notions of being 'interesting'
thanks Phil I missed that latest change... it does makes perfect sense.... in its idiocy for the NHL..

Probably how it will always be

Yeah...blues had their chance. Now they are left with trying to sweep the road part of the series or risking a game 7 where anything can happen.
I'll say the blueshirts will bounce back and win a close game on the road and then fail at home in game 6.

Well with Murray (or whatever his name is) playing on Tuesday I doubt they go back to Zatkoff. Assuming they win tonight, I would say Fleury will rest until round two (if he is cleared to play).

will be very disappointed in the Pens, and the Caps if they don't meet in the Eastern Conference finals. As a Caps fan.. winning the Cup would be good... exercising the demons of past Penguin series disasters is the cherry on top. That is what we want, for the team that has tormented us like no other.
I think many Caps fans would have to think long and hard about which they be happier with
Beating Pittsburgh and losing the Cup final
or avoiding our hated rival and winning it over some frickin western conference stooge...

yeah.. wasn't that a hoot... you knew it was bad when the PA announcer asked those animals to show some class Granted I am a west coaster, born and bred, and have never lost it even if I have lived here on the right coast for many years.. but I feel for western fans of team sports.. they have NO idea of the hatred for our foes and passion for our teams that the east coast teams have.
