Blotsfan: At least your pain is over for the season.

 

[blotsfan]

Thank goodness. I was wasting too much time on rooting for the perfect finish to the season with literally everything else going right.

 

[Timmus]

Canucks can't even lose for a better draft pick right.

 

[checkeredhat]

sigh

 

[DarkAudit]

Incoming!

 

[Timmus]

That one kind of looked like a head shot to me. Lucky he only hurt his arm.

 

[jwhouk]

Shea Weber is AWESOME and you CAN NOT TELL ME OTHERWISE.

 

[Piotyr]

Toews and Kane out for the rest of the regular season. Blackhawks in "just get to the playoffs healthy" mode.

 

[jwhouk]

That could make that first round series interesting.

 

[Sparhawk]

Right now, I believe that would be my Stars against them... not sure how to feel about that. Could be a good opportunity with both of them possibly being a little rusty; or could be bad because they are actually fully rested and healed.

 

[blotsfan]

The top 2 pick is clinched!

 

[jwhouk]

They keep doing this to me. Stringing me along for as long as they can, and then finally - they run out of games.

Successful Duck Hunt last night. Now, it's Shark Hunting Season.

 

[checkeredhat]

I like my NHL14 season a lot more than the real season.

 

[Sparhawk]

Stars are in the playoffs! WooHoo! Not really expecting to get far, but we're back for the first time in 5 years.

 

[jwhouk]

Welp, I'm done. Last of the teams I actually care about got eliminated by the (Not The North) Stars.

Malone got arrested for DUI and Coke possession this morning.

GG.

 

[jwhouk]

Montreal in a sweep in round 1. Book it.

 

[Timmus]

Coache's corner changed into dead kid's corner so gradually I hardly noticed...

 

[HCGLNS]

Well now, is it time for the third annual Halforums Stanley Cup Playoff contest?

 

[jwhouk]

I already put together my picks on the NHL's Bracket Challenge site.

 

[HCGLNS]

woah Trotz is gone.

 

[jwhouk]

Yeah, that was pretty much guaranteed when we didn't make the playoffs.

 

[blotsfan]

THE 2014 NHL DRAFT LOTTERY!!!

Cant even win that...at least Florida is expected to take Ekbald so we'll still have our pick of the Sams.

 

[jwhouk]

No, no, we are the ones who can't even tank right.

 

[klew]

Colorado, St. Louis, Anaheim, San Jose, Detroit, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia

 

[jwhouk]

We're forgetting series length, people.

 

[blotsfan]

I thought we do it like this:
1st round: win/loss
2nd round: win/loss + series length
3rd round: win/loss + series length + # of OTs
finals: win/loss + series length + # OTs + conn smythe

 

[jwhouk]

Okay, we can do it like that. As consideration for you being out of the playoff race for so long.
