As long as the Ducks and Bruins then immediately lose to the Sharks and Rangers then yes that would own significantly e: If the Jackets, Wild, and Preds beat the Pens, Blues, and Hawks, I would call that a perfect result.

If you had told me before the lockout that Pittsburgh would be the evil team in a Pens/Leafs playoff series, I would kindly tell you to go gently caress yourself A Pittsburgh/Toronto series sounds like what they play In the waiting room while you're about to get a joint root canal & colonic in hell I'm about a week away from rooting for the Sens to win the East cancel the fuckin playoffs go perds Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Apr 18, 2017 |

The only redeeming option left is Subban scoring the cup winning goal in OT in Montreal but that involves rooting for Montreal to win three separate series and I don't want to look back at this time in my life on my deathbed and die in the throes of shame and disgust

HootTheOwl posted:They were handing out shirts tonight that said "You can sleep when the playoffs are over" in what I thought was a great dig at the league for scheduling these 8:30 (9:30 if you're Nashville) starts. Nashville and Chicago are in CT which means that 2 of their 3 games started at 7pm local time which actually makes total sense? They had an 8:30 local start last night, but they likely won't have another late start for the rest of the series. Minnesota/St. Louis have a much bigger gripe, they've had a 2 pm game, an 8:30 game, a two day break, and another 8:30 pm coming up on Wednesday

When a goalie makes a save that involves any or all of the following: - Stacking the pads - Catching the puck with the paddle of the stick - His helmet coming off - Reaching completely behind him the catch a puck on the goalline that he has no business getting to - Does a fill split

As an aside, it's not that long ago that people on this very forum insisted that the Islanders were cool and good, when they are in fact from Long Island, which is basically a civil engineering shrine to Robert Moses' Segregated Utopia.

T-Bone posted:The 90s Red Wings were 1-4 against the other great teams from its era (Devils, Avalanche). I'd take the 2001 Avalanche or 2000 Devils over either of their Cup teams.

ThinkTank posted:They lost to the Avs in six in the conference finals. They'd then win the next the cup the next two seasons. I'm not seeing how that team was somehow worse than the 2002 squad that had 116pts and beat the all world Hurricanes in the finals. Admittedly the conference finals were really the cup finals that year, but they just scraped by the Avs in 7. You mean the 2002 squad that had Luc Robitaille on the 4th line? The one that had like 9 hall of famers on it? The one that is better than the two 90's Red Wings teams that also won Stanley cups which is what this argument is about? e: scraping by Colorado is chashing one of the best goalies of all time in the 2nd period of a game 7

I also agree with this, for my money the Wings cup teams rank '02 '07 '97 '98 e: and poo poo, the '08 team was better but they didn't win so gently caress em If the '08 team wins the cup, they are possibly the greatest Wings team of all time, or at least first equal with '02 Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 16:09 on May 9, 2017 |

Lidstrom could hit if he wanted to, but you don't need to hit anyone if you literally know exactly where to be on the ice every second of your entire gat dang career. The guy was a loving wizard, and I don't think anyone ever before or since, save maybe (probably (drat near a certainty)) Gretzky, could ever see the ice or anticipate as well as him.
