Stanley Cup Playoffs Random Thoughts

[wr50l]

I'm supremely confident that the Rangers will advance tonight. We will definitely not blow it at home if it gets that far. I also think the Sharks should be confident of winning Game 7. That series was always bound to go 7 games; it's really surprising that either team managed a win on the road at all. I also can't believe the Wild have made this so difficult. I expect them to finally get the road win they have deserved every time.

My bracket has the Kings winning in 7 and flyers winning in 7 and I'll produce an almost perfect first round.

Don't fuck it up!

Thank god. Jesus.

Sharks power play has been garbage since game 3. They keep running this umbrella set up with one man high and just force shots from the wings that have no shot of going in. Credit to the kings for adjusting and doing a great job of getting in shooting lanes.

Still one period left but it's pretty clear that the kings have outcoached and outplayed the sharks in the last 3 games.

Mike Richards has overcome a 3-0 deficit twice now.

Welcome to the club big joe.

But seriously what a garbage club San Jose is. Blow it up.

Mason was the ONLY reason that game wasn't 6-1 last night. I don't know how he saved half the shots thrown at him.

 

[leaffan]

Oh Boston. Team simply should just give every team a 1-0 series lead and not even bother playing game 1. I gotta look at their playoff history because I'm sure this odd occurance has happened a lot.

 

[leaffan]

Nope just this year.

Sick call in 2ot. Bruins missed too many chances.

Look, we all know how bad the refs are. They aren't the reason your team loses a game or a series though. I heard it through the first 2 games of the Philly/NYR series when it seemed the Rangers were the beneficiary at times. Then when Philly started getting some fortunate calls, they were silent and told NYR fans to stop complaining about the refs. :yao: IMO, it all evens out, especially over a 7 game series.

The refs aren't even talked about if the Bruins could just hit an open net. The Lucic whiff comes to mind.

It never seems to even out when the Habs are involved though. Regardless, I don't think the refs really decided the game last night. Bruins missed a few really good chances and Price made some great saves.

To be fair, I didn't watch the entire game. I saw the 3rd period where the Bruins just couldn't capitalize a handful of times. I'm not, usually, one to put all the blame on the refs. There are a ton of other plays that happen throughout the game that play more of a factor than a blown call.

Every playoff game for the Canadiens so far has had some very questionable calls going for them. I wouldn't be surprised once the bruins/canadiens series hits games 5/6/7 only the top refs will be doing it.

Bruins had plenty of chances but fuckoff on that shit call in the 2nd OT. How did Montreal sweep Tampa? Ohyea the refs gave them a powerplay with like 2 minutes left in the game so they could get the go ahead goal.
