[NHL] MetroHockey Division (and the rest of the league)

[HCGLNS]

They need Fucale!

 

[HCGLNS]

Carcillo gone for 10 games. Prust gone for 2.

 

[jwhouk]

Carcillo should have skated away.



And then turned as soon as the linesman was out of reach and run right at the guy who was fighting.

 

[HCGLNS]

Good game, back to Montreal now.

 

[jwhouk]

3-1 series lead. Unless the Rags pull a San Jose, they're going to their first Cup finals in two decades.

 

[HCGLNS]

Ouch Chicago is in deep now. LA looks scary right now.

 

[jwhouk]

New York-LA final, anyone?

 

[HCGLNS]

I have not given up on Chicago yet. But as I said to a coworker it seems that the Stanley Cup final is being played in the West right now.

 

[jwhouk]

Les Habitants live to fight another day!

That was one of those "meh, get 'em next time" games for the Rags.

 

[jwhouk]

Wow.

That first Overtime period in Chicago.

Just, wow.

Hated how the game ended, but wow.

 

[HCGLNS]

COMBO POINTS! Oh Yeah! Rangers in 6 with 2 OT!

 

[blotsfan]

Another year, another Stanley Cup not won by a Canadian team. I don't have much, but I take what I get.

 

[jwhouk]

Rangers vs. either LA or Chicago (praying for Los Angeles) in the finals.

Cup Finals Schedule:

1. June 4 at LA/Chicago
2. June 7 at LA/Chicago
3. June 9 at New York
4. June 11 at New York
5. June 13 (if necessary) at LA/Chicago
6. June 16 (if necessary) at New York
7. June 18 (if necessary) at LA/Chicago

Blackhawks 13-0 in games 5, 6, and 7 of series the past 2 seasons, and 26-2 overall in games 5, 6, and 7 under Quenneville.

 

[jwhouk]

If Chicago wins Sunday, I make the following prediction: the Cup will be lifted on June 11th. Crawford will take the Connie. There will be NO overtimes.

 

[HCGLNS]

If LA wins in OT we may have a three way tie for first overall.

 

[jwhouk]

Next round is the big one, right? Winner, games, OT's, Connie?

 

[HCGLNS]

Yes. 2 points per pick, get all 4 right get additional 8 points

 

[HCGLNS]

@Timmus

 

[Piotyr]

Well, that makes 26-3 in G 5-6-7 under Quenneville, each of the 3 losses in OT.

 

[Timmus]

Goodness!

 

[blotsfan]

I can't win this thing, but gimme Kings in 5. 1 OT. Quick for Conn Smythe.

 

[Covar]

Game 4 is on NBCSN instead of NBC

Fuck you NBC, and Fuck you NHL for signing such a terrible national TV deal. Sure hop that money makes up for the lack of exposure you're given.

 

[HCGLNS]

Rangers in 7 with 3 OT and St. Louis for rhe Conn.

 

[BErt]

Rangers in 6, 2OT. And Hagelin, because why not.

 

[Timmus]

Rangers, 7 , 2 OT, lundqvist.

 

[Sparhawk]

Los Angeles, 6 games, 1 ot, Quck

 

[Piotyr]

LA 5 games, 1 OT, Doughty

 

[jwhouk]

Half of me is saying Rangers in 5, no OT's, Henrik is King and Connie (and old man Richards gets the cup winner).

Half of me is saying Kings in 7, 3 OT's, and Justin Williams gets the cup winner - while Quickie gets the Connie.

(shrug)

I'll go the tough route: Rags in 5, no OT's, Henrik for Connie.

@jwhouk

This Chicago is for you!

[jwhouk]

I've done six simulated finals series using Strat-O-Matic for Windows. The Rangers won each series. Two went seven games, two went six, one went five and the last one was a Rangers sweep.

 

[HCGLNS]

Pittsburgh! New GM! Bylsma fired! @Chazwozel possible replacement.

 

[jwhouk]

I need that GIF of Kramer going "Welp, I'm out."

 

[DarkAudit]

I need that GIF of Kramer going "Welp, I'm out."

Google is your friend...

 

[jwhouk]

The Los Angeles Kings have not led a single second in the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals.

...except for the last second.

Kings go to NYC up 2-0 and two wins away from their second Cup win in three years.
