Anyone following hockey?

[KCLocks]

I'm a die hard Canadiens fan but holy crap they suck lately.

That being said, I'm still loosing my money tomorrow against the Rangers. Praying for a Hail Mary here

 

[Ricboff]

Canadiens (RIP Lafleur, dude was A Legend ) ? cmon man, hope for the 1st pick overall. rebuild mode

the Battle for Lord Stanley to begin . Most grueling battle in team sport

who does everyone like?

 

[Knightrofins]

Bandwagon fan here but would love to see the Panthers make a run

 

[Ricboff]

the Panthers r STACKED. they r ALL IN. Sold it all -- They do not have a 1st rounder available for THREE fuckin yrs. The GM has sold his soul bro

that team can score in spades . They will try it OUTSCORE everyone. This issnt a recipe for success, so we shall see, they got Wash or BAAAASton likely in the first round. Should be no trouble . A potential second round looms with TB or TO. THAT Will be tremendous theatre

I would love to hit up a game. Its a 15 min drive for me to the arena and i hear the games are fun.

The panthers are my favorite team but I am 1000% bandwagon fan

I think they were one of the best teams in the league last year as well but they had to play Tampa in the first round

 

[Ricboff]

think ? no, they ARE one the one of best teams on Planet earth bro . No team has scored more goals in a season since the 1994 Pens

the question now becomes execution. The great thing with hockey is that COMPLETE team is needed, unlike NBA, NFL where stars, and breaks r more impactful .

need all the pieces

do they have it?

dunno, defense wins as they say--they r tryin to go Edmonton Oilers on us

do they have a Grant Fuhr?

 

[Ricboff]

they r better on paper than TB imo.

but do they believe that ? we shall see. Someone has to knock off the Champ The Champ KNOWS they r the champ . Belief, is factor in any walk of life (see The Toronto Maple Leafs )

 

[SheriffJoe]

They can score as many goals as they want, Bobrovsky is a sieve.

 

[Ricboff]

Have my doubts as well .

I don't think Florida is a good match up with TO . Toronto can and will expose that dee

Ideally for Florida - beat frauds wash/Boston and face TB

That TB dee can be had by speed .can Vasi hold ?



Drop the puck

The Battle for Lord Stanley has begun..............

Dave , as always looking sharp. .......his team needs to rebound


Oilers have let 3 goals in already, not even midway through the 2nd

does Minny regret getting Fleury? where the fuck was he on that 2nd goal ? lol

 

[Ricboff]

got a hunch we see a Cal Vs Edm Western Conference semi-finals

Now Looch is styling with that walk you know he ain't fucking around...uh mute the Punjabi talk though hahaha?

lol

....................................

the Florida Panthers begin their quest tonight. They won the President's Cup, the team with the most points. They scored more goals than anyone and had the best differential. Did that with their top stud dee out, missing for much of the year. He's back, Ekblad is in for Game 1.

the bad news? over the last 35 years the winner of The Presidents Cup has won Lord Stanley just 8 times. EIGHT! less than 25% of the time

good match-up in round 1 for them. The Caps are a step slower , they gotta turn this into a very physical game and hope a lot goes right (specifically with special teams ) to win this series. Do not see it

No chance for Washington they're gonna get swept?

 

[Ricboff]

the two lead Norris trophy candidates to do battle:

Col would have had an easier route through Dallas. Cant see your Flames losing that series, lol.

 

[Dr.Love]

No.

Hockey sucks and so does Canada!

?? = ?

 

[Ricboff]

Pens- last 3 playoff visits? gone first round. Crosby 34, Malkin 35.

Rangers have between the pipes the Vezina Winner , and a strong core of elite players

letang, malkin r free agents , for this 3 its likely their final playoffs together

That why I'm thinking Pittsburgh pulls off upset...

 

[Ricboff]

Pens on pace for 45 + shots. multiple point blank saves in the 2nd. Shesterkin don't have no playoff butterflies , lol
