NHL Hockey thread

[Camerus]

Yeah, but as a Leafs fan of my generation, I have rock bottom expectations.

[Josephus]

So sorry Leafs fans (are their any besides HVC?)  Jets vs Leafs, Jets give up a 4 goal lead, only to take it to OT and a win, with Patrik Laine scoring a hattrick and pulling even with Matthews in goals for the season.

So yeah, BB, how's that going for you these days?

That's the spirit, hold a grudge. hold it hard!

also, about time you showed up

So let's meet up during the Stanley Cup parade  up Yonge Street OK?

Obviously disappointing the Jets aren't in these playoffs, but not sure why you'd drag up a post from one game six months ago...

Laine is still an exciting and dynamic young player and we're lucky to have him.

I actually clicked on this thread, and that was the first that came up (I haven't been in this thread since october  ).

But my point really was...meh....one game in regular season means nothing.

[Camerus]

C'mon... Leafs fans need to revel in small victories. Besides, there's no statute of limitations on talking smack.

[Barrister]

Sharks destroy the Oilers 7-0 tonight.

I'm kind of turned on?

[Valmy]

That pretty much shows my internal reaction every-time the regular season ends. Hockey is about to stop being fun real fast.

But because I am a delusional moron I feel like they have a chance tonight. I know. It is pathetic.

[HVC]

some talking head I heard on tv last night was going on about how the Caps do so well in the regular season is because they have the easiest travel schedule. any truth to that?

Might be something to that. Recently anyway. They have won the President's Trophy three times recently, including back to back, and with some of the highest point totals of the last several decades.

But it is not like them blowing playoff series against lower seeded teams is recent. That goes all the way back to the mid 1980s.

I don't see why their travel schedule would be any easier than anyone else in the Metropolitan division.  But yes, that division must have the easiest travel in the league, with all those cities bunched up pretty close to each other.

Try another team.  I don't know, root for the Rangers

It's Valmy's fault if Washington crumbles in the series, I should have known!



On another subject, that kind of scenes always makes me feel all weird:
