[NHL] HOCKEY'S BACK!!!!

[Piotyr]

Have to see yet how the series' end.

 

[jwhouk]

I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion we're gonna have an Original Six final.

I'm serious on what I posted earlier: Bruins in a sweep, with maybe one OT, and Rask getting the Connie.

 

[BErt]

Damn, that series is over. Nobody comes back from down 3 games to 1.

...

...

 

[Vrii]

I think Boston/LA would be the best hockey out of the possible matchups, too bad it doesn't look likely.

 

[DarkAudit]

Damn, that series is over. Nobody comes back from down 3 games to 1.

Oh yes they do. And more. I'm hoping for a repeat of 2010 on the East side.

 

[Covar]

I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion we're gonna have an Original Six final.

 

[Piotyr]

The Pens bow out having scored two total goals in 4 games and 34 minutes of OT.

Lol a Winnipeg fan grew a playoff beard.

Only reason I still have mine is I had to leave for work right as the game ended.

Tuuka Rask is one ugly son of a bitch.

That said. It's time for my Hawks to wrap it up, and light this guy up like a Christmas tree.[DOUBLEPOST=1370713832][/DOUBLEPOST]

I take it you're a Pens fan? Too bad, so sad.

It's time for the Original Six big boys to play.

 

[HCGLNS]

Life is so crazy right now I only realised that the 4 teams remaining are the last 4 cup winners. Kinda cool.

And now Edmonton is looking for a coach.

So that's

Edmonton
Vancouver
Dallas
NY Rangers
Buffalo ?

 

[blotsfan]

Buffalo is officially keeping rolston. I'm not too happy about that.

 

[jwhouk]

40 minutes from the first all-O6 final since 1979.

 

[Sparhawk]

1 goal away from Game 6, or Chicago vs Boston. Damn Kopitar & Richards.

 

[HCGLNS]

So I bust my ass all day doing the single dad thing, going from one place to the other. I settle down to watch the game as a nice reward now that the kids are asleep and


ZZZZZZZZZ

huh what, shit what did I miss? 2nd OT? Ok, not much.

GOAL!

 

[Piotyr]

Stanley Cup Finals start Wednesday.

 

[blotsfan]

Boston in 6. 1 OT. Rask wins conn smythe

 

[HCGLNS]

Boston in 6, 2 OT, =shudder= Marchant wins Conn Smythe

 

[Dave]

I actually watched the game last night and I'm not a huge hockey fan. Games like that could make me one, though.

 

[jwhouk]

I will stick with my prediction: Bruins in 4, 1 OT, and Rask with the Connie.

 

[Sparhawk]

Chicago in 6, 2 OT, Kane wins the Conn Smythe

 

[checkeredhat]

Generally speaking, we sucked at predictions this round.

Finals start on Wednesday, make predictions by then.

 

[Piotyr]

Blackhawks in 7, 2 OT, Bickell wins the Smythe.

 

[Timmus]

Whooo! Bonus. I'ma give it to Chicago in 7 with 2 OT's. Toews for the Conn Smythe....more sick feeds like last nights winner to come.

 

[BErt]

Boston in 5, No OT. Rask.

 

[Vrii]

Guess I'm going Boston, 6 games, 1 OT, Krejci. Don't think I can possibly win at this point with other peoples' picks.

 

[checkeredhat]

I don't want to discourage anyone but yeah you're right Vrii. no one below you can possibly win. There is only a maximum of 8pts left and that still would only put you in second, BEFORE factoring in the picks of those above you. it is possible we may want to further revise the format for next year depending on what everyone thinks.

 

[HCGLNS]

I don't want to discourage anyone but yeah you're right Vrii. no one below you can possibly win.

Fuck you Leafs made the playoffs.

 

[Sparhawk]

It's a fairly normal spread for a league. 9 players to start, 3 out of contention at the beginning of final round, 2 on the bubble, 4 still all the way in.

 

[jwhouk]

Let's see:

• Winning team(2 pts)
• number of games (1 pt)
• number of OT(1 pt)
• Conn Smythe winner (2 pts)
• BONUS for getting all 4 right (3 pts)

 

[checkeredhat]

Let's see:

• Winning team(2 pts)
• number of games (1 pt)
• number of OT(1 pt)
• Conn Smythe winner (2 pts)
• BONUS for getting all 4 right (3 pts)

Is that what I had said? I guess that makes sense. Alright, so a maximum of 9 points then, not 8.

 

[Vrii]

I don't want to discourage anyone.

Pittsburgh lost, I'm happy regardless.

 

[checkeredhat]

I guess I should make a prediction.
Boston in 7, 1 OT. Krejci.
I can't win now anyway.

 

[Covar]

Man if only there was some hockey to watch tonight...
