somehow we never had a NHL thread this year! who's been watching so far? It's been a good playoffs so far, that Hawks/Blues game didn't have the ending i wanted, but it was a great game. Datsyuk's goal last night against the Bruins was RIDICULOUS as well.
go Hawks, i'm hoping for a Hawks/Wings final. i'm pretty sure the West is going to win the Cup this year though.

I got Ducks/wings in the cup. Teemu forever.
Seriously though, every game has been wild as hell. I'm actually okay we missed the playoffs for the first time since before I could legally drink. I can actually enjoy the game, and our front office might finally shake things up.

Man, I did not follow the NHL at all this year. I caught bits of a few games the last couple days, though. And yeah, that Datsyuk goal was insane.

I was on the ice in net during it, two of my d men are Detroit fans and found out somehow and went nuts from the bench.

Rooting hard for the Ducks. Really want Teemu to get another cup and this is a good year for him and the team.
Today's been the first day I could really watch any of the games. There were boobs in the crowd during the Hawks-Blues game which is always hilarious.

Haha, yeah. A goalie group I'm in on facebook posted that. Had to miss the game. Managed to watch most of Pens/Jackets on my phone before rolling out for dinner. I'm pulling for them hard.

I caught a few games but not as much as I'd like. And my goal was to go to San Jose for a Sharks home game and I never made it. I've been here for four fucking years!! Playoff hockey though, goddamn.

Pretty not happy about Tampa. I've never been a fan, but I like Cooper and Stamkos and it would have been nice to see them stomp all over Montreal. I hate those bastards. Looking forward to the Sharks taking it at home on Saturday.

Looking forward to Quick extending the series as long as possible.

I hate Montreal, but I really want them to do well and just get crushed in the Conference finals or something. I kind of hope that for most of the Canadian teams that make the playoffs though. I will admit that I do have a soft spot for Carey Price, dude is an amazing goalie and just gets shit on by Montreal.
The Wild/Avs series has been amazing so far. you could tell that MacKinnon was getting so frustrated last night, they were just shutting him right down. If Minnesota can keep their pressure up, I could definitely see them stealing the series.
can't wait for the Blues/Hawks game tonight, I'm really hoping that the Hawks can take this one in St. Louis because I really don't think St Louis can beat them at home.

Dave, I remember you vaguely saying you love the caps. Are you one of us depressed folk, or is Minnesota your team?

The Wild/Avalanche series has been a fucking blast.

Hell yeah it has. Can't wait to see the blue jackets beat up on the now mentally broken fleury. I missed all the games tonight, though.

I haven't been following because I've been swamped with this tracking project. I'm watching loads of hockey, though and have some big plans for when I eventually get to the playoffs.

Dave, I remember you vaguely saying you love the caps. Are you one of us depressed folk, or is Minnesota your team? Haha, I would say that the Caps are my favorite team in the East by a long shot because watching Ovi and Backstrom together is magical sometimes, but I'm more of a Western conference guy. I've been mostly following the Hawks ever since Toews made the jump, but the Wild are my second favorite team. I have a soft spot for the Jets since they're the closest team to me as well. Holy SHIT the end of the Hawks/Blues game was intense last night. Oshie's goal from the knees was beautiful, I miss the days of seeing him and Toews on the same line at UND.

Lumbus just didn't have the gas to pull it off. Bravo, guys. You're gonna be scary the next few seasons.

If Philly takes it in 7 there isn't going to be any teams left to play in the eastern conference final. They're all going to kill each other.

God, tonight was magical. What the Kings did was fantastic.
I feel so goddamn bad for San Jose fans, though. How fucking terrible that has to feel. We blew a 3-1 lead. But yeah. Ouch.

Goddamn, tonight's game was brutal. Kane had such an open net to bring it within 1 after it was 2-0, but didn't get it. It feels harder to get mad at the Wild and Bryz than most other teams, but I'm not worried since the Hawks are pretty deep.

Bryz got a shutout! But yeah, Chicago has this series. Don't worry about that. As I'm a huge nerd and an awesome goalie, and the whole "Goalies are weird" thing means I was born to be a goalie apparently, let me share this with y'all. I want to post this outside of the NHL thread as Bryz is the fucking shit and shouldn't be relegated to just the NHL thread: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT9r8813oyo

Goddamnit, I love Bryzgalov so much, I've always thought he was fascinating ever since 24/7. Thanks for that link! Why you heff be mad?
getting a solid buzz on before tonight's game. Chicago looked so flat in both games in MN so they gotta pick it up and not drop one at home tonight.

GO HAWKS! FUCK LA.
This has been a great series so far and I'm a little nervous since the Kings did take one in Chicago, but they've been playing with a lot of intensity in the last two games and they've otherwise been flawless at home. I'm making a prediction of a Patty Kane GWG.

Sorry man. That was one of the best series I've ever seen, but I'm riding the Quick train all the way to Cupville.
The Rangers had to be watching this series once they clinched and just be going, "Well fuck, it was a good run, boys."

Why couldn't that be the final? Good lord, that was some of the best hockey I have ever seen.
