what series do you guys think will be the most fun to watch? i feel like i gotta binge on as much playoff hockey as possible and i'll be watching cbj-pens anyway. i'll probably watch leafs-caps to hate-root against the caps but fat chance that isn't a curb stomp series

Watching McDavid put up 10 points in 6 games and the Oilers cruise is gonna be super fun!

I remember this article for whatever reason and:

On that note, if this past April hadn't happened I'd think Marc-Andre Fleury would be on the road to becoming the next Chris Osgood. We'll have to see how much that perception has changed after his monstrosity of a first-round series. But yeah, he's pretty average too.

I don't know if question Trotz not getting Ovechkin 19+ minutes because for a large chunk of the 3rd, the Capitals were hemmed in their own end. Kuznetsov and Backstrom also had around 17 TOI.

Honestly, I'm just done after tonight's game. I felt positive going into the game, but I stopped watching after it was 4-0, and seeing it end up 7-0 just makes things worse. All those positive feelings are gone. That was the worst game the Oilers played all season, and it's beyond frustrating when the Oilers had been the better team in the series, could've been up 3-0 if they didn't fall asleep in Game 1, and instead now they're tied 2-2. But there's no chance in hell they're winning another game in this series. They're done. Stick the :fork: in them, they aren't coming back.

At least we made the playoffs, at least we won 2 games, and at least the Flames still suck more than we do. Now hopefully Chiarelli does some work in the off-season to make us better, because this team isn't going far the way they are right now.

Congrats on your series win, Sharks fans.

I mean, everybody can bitch about the refs as much as they want, but at least every series has had the PP chances difference be close except for the Oilers-Sharks.

I'm an Oiler fan and this non stop whining about the refs is ridiculous. The Oilers have had two games where they've played flat out dumb as hell when it comes to discipline.

Replays in the NBA do seem to work pretty well, but they also aren't nearly as important as replay in other sports since the resulting 2 points or 1 point or possession change is one of a whole lot, as opposed to an NHL goal, or a TD in football etc.

Fleury should absolutely force a buy out if Pittsburgh wants him to waive his nmc. He gets that buyout money and can more than likely get a 4-5 year deal at 5ish a year after this playoffs. He won't get a contract anywhere near that if he goes to Vegas and signs a new deal in two years.


Does Pittsburgh have a goalie to expose if they buy out Fleury?
