Calgary-Edmonton would've started at 8 PM too, because the NHL wants to force teams to either play at 5 PM or 8 PM in the playoffs whenever possible even though it sucks for the CST/MST fans.

As a Ducks fan, I am hopeful we will survive the first round.

Which is foolish, because hope is a lie.

Honestly, you should be hopeful. The Flames are pretty much the best match-up the Ducks could have asked for, given the Ducks dominance over the Flames over the past few seasons, especially at home. Providing there isn't some serious injuries the Ducks should have an easy time getting to the second round.

BJ's will win in 5 but the Pens will panic after going down 3-1 and put Sestito into the lineup and he's going to run Bobrovsky and take him out for the rest of the playoffs. Malkin will also cheapshot someone like Werenski or Jones or Atkinson so the BJ's will limp into the second round and get bounced

Jackets could be 100% healthy going into the second round and still get bounced, since the Caps only poo poo their playoff pants against the Pens and Rangers.

I got to attend the Oilers game tonight, and man, that place was just crazy. I've never had the chance to experience something like that before, and man oh man, it was so much fun to be a part of it. I'm so happy to have been a part of the crowd tonight. As for the game itself, it was not as great. It had a good first period, but after that, things went bad. It sucks the Oilers only decided to show up for 20 minutes tonight. If they had showed up for the full 60 they would've won. Hopefully they can bounce back on Friday.

Also, I'd like it very much if Tim Peel did not ref another game in this series because holy poo poo the reffing was awful tonight. Several "Refs You Suck" chants went on throughout the night too.

How on earth did Calgary not score in the last three minutes last night? Didn't they have a 6 on 3 at one point?

Flames are bad, and didn't have a 6-on-3 because Gulutzan didn't pull Elliott until the first penalty expired because Gulutzan is bad.

Flames are one game away from being eliminated despite the refs best efforts to give them tonight's game. :toot:

Also the fact the Flames fans are whining about the refs when the only reason the Ducks didn't beat the Flames in regulation was because of the refs is amazing.

Late edit: Also the Ducks 3rd goal was fine. Thompson's stick looked to be at the crossbar level for me, which by the rulebook itself means it's good.

He exists to gently caress seems very apropos.

Sharks/Oilers, and yeah, the reffing wasn't very good that night. Although Oilers lost because they stopped playing after the 1st, not entirely because of Tim Peel, which is better than what happened with Bruins/Sens tonight.

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 had already made my peace with the Oilers losing the next two games after Game 4, so holy poo poo I can't believe it right now. I can't believe that they came back to tie the game, then just flat out dominated the Sharks in OT and got the win we they deserved.

I still fully expect the Sharks to take Game 6, and then who the gently caress knows what will happen in Game 7. But even if we lose the next 2 games, the fact we came back and pushed it to 7 after that horrible Game 4 is still really great.

e: vvv I use we and they interchangeably when referring to the Oilers, so what. :colbert:

i'm kind of surprised dubnyk didn't make the top 3 but i guess voters didn't like his cold streak as much as price's

Dubnyk and Price actually had similar stats to end the season, so I think a combination of Price being more well known for being a great goalie + Dubnyk's struggles happening at the end of the season is why Price took the nomination over Dubnyk.

I would've loved for Talbot to be a nominee, but alas.
