Oh Magnus, how your oilers jersey just collects dust in my closet. Glad the Blues got it done. If the oil make the conference final they'll have home ice now

Fuck yeah!!!

They didn't make it easy but it feels so good to advance to the next round. Up next: either Boston or Ottawa.

What really blows is if Boston wins tomorrow, Game 7 of that series wouldn't be till Wednesday, meaning if Washington closes out Toronto tomorrow, we'd have no hockey on Monday or Tuesday.

Sharks are dead. Wow. Well, so long hockey, I'll see you in October.

That's some odd scheduling to possibly go 2 days without so soon in the playoffs.

They just got screwed again because the d man just covered the puck with his glove in the crease.

Of course all this means is that the Sens will win.

Yep. Clear as day.

No, not at all. The goalie interference could go either way. Personally I think the call on the ice would stand either way, but if there was no call I would have gone goal.

But the D-man pushed the puck with his glove, which is different from covering it. Big difference, and a correct non-call.

Kinda pulling for Ottawa and Washington just so we can proceed to round two.

Stat I hope to hear today if it looks like that's a possibility... when is the last time in NHL playoffs the first round went by without a single game 7?

That happened TWICE with the Blues and Wild in the first round.

Game 3 was last Sunday.
Game 4 was Wednesday.
Game 5 was yesterday.

Dumb.

I mean, I gave the Bruins credit on the non-goal, but keep hearing as you wish homer.

Not a fantastic start for Ottawa. They got gifted with power play after power play and end up with one against right after those.

Between periods, I'll probably flip over to the Flyers game. Oh wait...

Your smack game is strong, but your case for a penalty in that scrum still isn't.

Bruins will win just as many cups as the Flyers this year. Not exactly sure who will win it this year, but the Bruins aren't even in the running.

The Bruins have done everything they can so far to meet the Flyers for golf tomorrow.

3 DoG penalties, and ANOTHER 1 on 1 breakaway.

I figure the B's will win today and we will have to wait another three days to be eliminated. Too painful.

Yeah, not exactly a stellar start but at the end of the day they are up 1-0. Against Ottawa I honestly wouldn't be totally shocked if they came back and won the series. Since they get the Rangers next I can even see them winning that series. They will not however move past the conference final.

TAC · « **Reply #681 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:09:31 PM »

The Bruins have generally matched up pretty well with NY. Pittsburgh too for some reason. The only team they have no shot at beating is Washington.

TAC · « **Reply #682 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:34:45 PM »

Not going to matter anyway..

Kyle Turris is a Bruins killer and he's been very quiet this series. Only a matter of time...

King Postwhore · « **Reply #683 on:** April 23, 2017, 02:35:21 PM »

2 quick goals by Ottawa. Ugh.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #684 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:16:26 PM »

Well, penalties loses games and series. Game over for the B's.

TAC · « **Reply #685 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:20:53 PM »

So when Pastrnak tackles a guy (McCarthur should've been called for interference, he set the pick), and the Sens's guy dives at the B's guy's legs and takes him out, it's not called??

Oh well. The refs aren't the reason the B's lost.

Good series. As expected. A close as you can get.

Go Celtics!!

KevShmev · « **Reply #686 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:21:14 PM »

At least now we'll either get a Game 7 on Tuesday or the first round ends tonight.

gmillerdrake · « **Reply #687 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:34:02 PM »

Brouwer and Backes......out of the playoffs in the first round. Folks in StL whined pretty good when we let them go. And Elliot....average at best and was pulled in a game for the Flames. Folks were hot StL traded him and handed the future to Allen.

Doesn't look so bad now, huh?

TAC · « **Reply #688 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:39:42 PM »

Should be no surprise to you guys, but I hope Backes does some major work this off season. At times, you could see exactly why they got him, but he really was invisible on far too many nights.
Exactly what you guys had said.

I don't know how much 'better' he's gonna get. Great team mate, great leader....but he's logged a ton of hard hours. I think you've seen what you're going to get. As you said, there are stretches where he's 'on'.....like last year in the playoffs for us. But when he's 'off' he truly is invisible.

Fun series, I'm glad it's over. Boston proved to be exactly what I thought they would be--tough. They weren't gonna go away quietly.

Onto the Rangers. That's gonna be another fun one

King Postwhore · « **Reply #694 on:** April 23, 2017, 08:01:08 PM »

Good luck there. Big and tough team.

SystematicThought · « **Reply #695 on:** April 23, 2017, 08:03:45 PM »

At this point, I'm just happy to get four more games at least. If you told me at the start of the OTT/BOS series that Ottawa would have won, I wouldn't have believed you, so this is great.

KevShmev · « **Reply #696 on:** April 23, 2017, 08:10:39 PM »

First round is done.

STL/NASH
ANA/EDM
WAS/PIT
OTT/NYR

Should be a good second round.

I am hearing there are issues with concerts here in St. Louis and Nashville the next two weeks, so the schedule for that is probably going to be a mess.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #697 on:** April 24, 2017, 04:59:51 AM »

Well damn. Anderson damn near stole that one, but a fluke and weak defensive play let him down.

But to tell you the truth, this team made huge strides this year, and the D played well beyond their means for the last 6 games. They outshot the Caps for the entire series, and killed - KILLED - them on faceoffs. I think last night it was something like 65%. Goes to show how strong the Caps are when 2/3 times, they are chasing the puck.

The future is already bright, and if they can get some upgrades on the blue-line, I can see them being as dominant as the big-4 in the Metro division were this year.

Predictions:
StL
Ana
Was
NY

All should be really good series'. I'll be watching StL/Nash and Pitt/Caps. Thankfully, those two series' are on alternating nights.

Time to see if the Caps can finally exorcise those demons.
