Not bashing the Sens every team that made the NHL playoff is a dangerous one (hell even basement teams are still full of NHL hockey players and can light you up if you don't take them seriously). I think the Habs played ok just could not score, very frustrating to watch. Again against a hot goalie playing .950 you absolutely need to convert chances when they have pressure on, it's so difficult to score on him it demoralizes a team when open nets are pissed away then on the counter attack some goofey triple bounce deflection goes in or your own mediocre goalie misses a 40 foot wrister. But that's hockey.

Really pissed me off when Bourque has a wide open net and hit the post, and the crowd starts waving their stupid towels like he accomplished something good lord what a bunch of morons.
I'm convinced that French people are terrible hockey fans, if the game I watched while on vacation was any indication. |

Those cups were won when there was like, literally 6 teams in the league.
They haven't won shit since the NHL expansion.
I was going to point that out but you beat me to it. Leaf fans are by far the most annoying. Its bad enough the rest of the country has to be subjected to endless Leaf talk on sports programs and in newspapers but their fans act they've actually done something positive in the last 45+ years. Vancouver has been to 3 Cup finals since they came into the league in 1970 compared to Toronto's big fat zero. GO LEAFS GO!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!...fuck off.  |

What a choke by Anaheim. Pretty terrible showing by Perry after signing a 70$ million contract, 2 assists in 7 games!

The only thing that's consistent in these playoffs is how bad the refs are and them doing their best to decide games and series. For all that Canuck fans bitched Islander fans have even more reason to complain. Hell, just look at the last Capitals/Rangers game. There is no way the Rangers didn't take at least one penalty (there were numerous missed calls -- a couple which were fairly egregious) and a number of the Capitals' penalties were bull shit (and they missed a number of their actual penalties).
But.. this is the NHL. Easily the worst refs of any major sport (which is sad, given the state of reffing in a couple other of the sports..)
Oh, and Booregard's family is suing the NHL for wrongful death. Y'know.. because he was an enforcer, got concussions.. then addicted to pain killers and such and then died because of such. Such a sad state when people can sue over such things (the guy knew exactly what he was doing/getting into -- fighting was the sole reason he was in the NHL at all; its not like he could play the game all that well).

The NHL and NFL are both going to deal with the concussion issue because they are linked together in terms of violent play. The NFL is out in front of the issue, though. The NHL is positioning itself poorly.
As much as fans lament the oddness to the head-to-head calls in the NFL, it's the right way to go. The NHL has to ban all head hits and enforce them, or they will lose the sport due to lawsuits, especially if the NFL players make their case.

The NHL has always had it's thing, where you have the rules for the regular season, and then "the rules" for the playoffs.
Like, last night in the Leaf/Bruin game, both teams SHOULD have been penalized like half a dozen times more then either team did. Blatant hooking, holding, interference etc. it all gets waved off in the playoffs. You basically have to murder someone to get 2 minutes in a game 7.

That's what killed the Canucks the last couple years. Gillis tried building a team modeled after the teams that were successful after the first lockout, when they were actually enforcing the rules on obstruction. Teams like Detroit dominated in that brief era through skill and speed. Then along came Boston, and we went right back to the pre-lock out crap. Vancouver has no chance when the other team is allowed to just clog up the defensive zone and tackle anyone that goes near the net. 80% of the goals scored in the series with San Jose were scrums in front of the net, where something got banged in on the third try. Who the fuck wants to see skill and playmaking, right?
I'm so annoyed by the way things have gone, I'm going to root for Toronto.

NEVER!!!! I would rather Montreal win the Stanley Cup from now until the end of time than see Toronto win it once. And fuck me, they're beating Boston now 4-1.  Leaf fans are going to relive this series for the next 10 years, even if they get put out in 4 in the second round. |

Thank you Toronto for the epic choke. I was actually worried the Bruins were going to lose. Only team I don't like that managed to advance was Pittsburgh; the rest bombed out.
It'll be even more hilarious when Toronto fails to make the playoffs next year due to realignment and the East actually having to play the West next year in the regular season.

As a Canucks fan, you don't know how hard it was to hope for a Bruins win, esp. when it was that little weasel Marchand that scored the winning goal. Still, soooo worth it.  |

Yep, worst choke I've ever seen. It being Toronto, I would normally be jumping for joy, but I actually hate the Bruins more.
That elbow to VanReemsdyke that didn't get called? That was the entire last three games of the 2011 finals.

That's the most epic choke since Boston choked a 3-0 series lead vs Flyers a couple of years ago.

Business as usual for Alexander Ovechkin. Nominated for Hart. Stinks it out in a seven game series.

I still feel sick. I don't think I'll be able to watch a game for a few days. That was the very Leafiest Leafs game. It was bad enough that they got my hopes up by getting to game seven, but blowing it like that was a little much. The worst part is that this was such an epic collapse that i'll be taked about and referenced FOREVER.
I actually didn't watch the OT, I just sat on my couch with my head in my hands after standing in front of the TV for 3 hours. Brutal.

More tears on my Clark jersey. I am very sorry, it is me. I blame myself. Closet Leafs fan, Browns fan, Indians fan, closet Cubs fan... I am the weakest link. The only team I have not plagued into oblivion are my LSU Tigers. |
