NHL Hockey thread

Are you still watching the series or is it done now that the much hated (by BB ) Oilers have been defeated?

The game tonight was pretty good. The Sens were put out of the zone of comfort after 2 goals, and it showed until the 3rd period.  Too bad for them they didn't wake up in 2nd, the Pens almost lost that one.  5 more minutes like that, and they were undone.

The Sens lack the deepness to fully oppose a team like the Penguins, they have some very good players, but not enough to fill all positions and Anderson seems a little too weak from time to time.

Haven't watched Nashville-Anaheim yet.  I hear PK has joined the well populated club of ex Habs doing wonders somewhere else.

So I was at the UT Baseball game last Saturday and at one point they fired the stupid T-Shirt gun in my direction. My son really wanted a shirt so I get myself into position and the shirt is headed right for me. At the last second this asshole in a Pens hat jumps in front of me and steals it at the last second and gives it to his kid. Doesn't that just sum it up?

My son was upset. Life is tough as the son of a Caps fan

HVC I've led a Cap fan's life, and I have never seen anything as brutally clear as this. As if I can see the Pens, in one horrifying moment, skating around with the Cup. As if it were already done...already a memory. An odd...set...stony quality to it. As if the future has already happened and there's nothin' you can do about it. The way I feel before every Capitals playoff run, knowin' it'll fail, but you cannot stop it. You must even tune in and watch it fail.

By the way. Painfully accurate. Viper should clear his calendar for his trip down to the victory parade now.

I will be able to tell the Russians that now the Caps and Wizards are out, the regional coverage pressure is off.

Pens score in 2OT to advance to meet Nashville.

[viper37]

couldn't watch the 2nd OT, way too late for me.  The 3rd and the 1st OT were great though.

Well, your predictions for the finale, gentlemen?

[HVC]

Poor poor senators.  Now I'm torn. A southern team or the penguins. Hmmm go predators. Subban's a good guy.

[viper37]

Poor poor senators.

yes, they were very surprising.  A bit too defensive for my tastes, but still a good team.

Meh...think I'm done with hockey for they year.

I should go, take a picture with Sydney or Letang and use that as my avatar here

Pens:



'Your way doesn't really work does it? Yes this. This is how you win the Stanley Cup hahahaha'

Caps:



'Why? Why would God choose Pittsburgh to be his instrument?'
