Sure, you get your division title and your Miami Heat but your state is still the flaccid penis of North America and most of the horrible things in the USA happen there.

I'd be salty if I was a Leaf Fan too.




This season feels like it is turning point. The guys from 96 coming back (Jovo, Murphy, Lindsay), the change in culture, re energizing fans. Next looks even better with so many young studs looking to join the team. Regardless of happens in the 'yoffs the future looks bright for the organization.

 

[robox]

damn nice save by dubnyk

 

[CCF23]

The Canucks trolling of the NHL regular season is complete. Play like shit for half the year -> win President's Trophy.

Embarrassing. Just end your season already Sharks.

4 more games.

 

[Socreges]

Omfg booth

That happened right in front of us. Never seen such a slick goal live.

Amazing save by dubnyk too. He's been awesome

 

[Quick]

Just make one for the whole playoffs.

That's what I initially planned on doing, then we had some sort of talk here about just doing one by round.

Kind of confused. Sure, I'll do one for the whole playoffs like I planned initially.

 

[CCF23]

Dubnyk has been amazing tonight. This game could easily be 6 or 7-0.

I'm really happy for the Panthers, but they're going to have to be better next year if they want to make the playoffs, a lot of teams in the East under performed this year. All you have to do is look at the Floridas goal differential compared to other teams. That being said Tallon has done an amazing job in such a short time, and the future definitely looks better then it has in a long time.

 

[Puddles]

Stupid as fuck.

Sit on a dick, Boyle.

 

[BigJonsson]

All aboard the Canucks-train 2012.........lets hope it doesn't end with a riot this year

 

[railGUN]

Boom! Time to await the hate.

PRESIDENT'S TROPHY COCCCCCCCCCCCK.

Put it in OT. This counts as a "major event"

 

[CCF23]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALL OVER MY FACE.

 

[MutFox]

Yawn indeed...

 

[BigJonsson]

Put it in OT. This counts as a "major event"

If the SNL |OT| gets to be in OT then the Stanley Cup |OT| should be there

 

[Puddles]

Do the Kings want to face Vancouver in the first round? They're taking absolutely brainless penalties here. Same as Thursday.

 

[Red_Man]

Another hit from behind kings....

 

[Marty Chinn]

Yes!!!

 

[Wendel Clark]

SNL |OT|

 

[robox]

Put it in OT. This counts as a "major event"

can get away with it considering the bandwagoners that join the thread for the playoffs.
like me.

 

[Puddles]

Greene is a selfish fuck.

So ridiculous how we can dominate a team and then lose it all to absolutely brainless penalties.

You don't make selfish plays like that against the second best PP in the league.

 

[Cake Boss]

PLAYOFFFSSSS Season is over!!!!

EVERBODY GET NAKED wOOp WOOOp

 

[Mii]

Vancouver or St. Louis? I like our odds with Vancouver more. I wouldn't mind developing a greater hatred for the Canucks for whenever a four-conference future exists and I can't hate Detroit anymore.

 

[opticalmace]

Stupid Kings, don't lose to the Sharks!

Don't wanna face Quick in first round.

Also what's the deal with the Luongo shutout penis?

 

[CCF23]

This game is going to end in a shootout.

Stupid Kings, don't lose to the Sharks!

Tradition, bro.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Thanks, Habs!

NOW LEAVE A FORWARD FOR US, YA JERKFACES!

Vancouver is terrifying, whereas the Blues are the biggest overachievers in the league, just ahead of Nashville.

I would much rather face St. Louis no matter which team I was rooting for. Elliot has looked pretty mortal lately, so that also helps.

Definetly. This year we have a bunch of 2nd-3rd liners from around the league as our top 6. The season started good, but between the injuries (at one point out 7 forwards) and post all star slumps, the skill level in our top was pretty poor. That's why I look forward to Bjugstad joining the team, he's 6'3 220~lb center and will fit well on our top line which fills the gap of big center. Then Kyle Rau is coming up and his hot hands are well welcome to the team. If the word on street is good then Huberdeau is looking to join the cats as well. The biggest differential is skill in the forwards, which is why we lost so many shootouts. The Panthers simply lack a high skill forward. Versteeg was good and I love his eccentric style on the ice but he's too tempermental to have that top spot. We are generating the chances to score but seem to fail at those odd-man rushes and breakaways because of the lack of skilled forwards.


Goaltending has been unexpectedly solid as well. The real show is when Markstrom comes the Panthers, he is currently on fire in San Antonio.

Tallon has done a fantastic job as as well as Dineen. As a Panther fan I can truthfully think the worst is behind the organization.

You forget about the guy who basically single-handedly knocked out Pittsburgh and Washington two seasons ago?

Markstrom was really impressive when he played in Montreal this year, if he can keep that play up he will be scary good. I've also read scout reports that Huberdeau is the best prospect not playing in the NHL right now, so you guys definitely a lot to look forward to. I've actually heard people mention the idea of Habs trying to trade our first rounder for Huberdeau, not sure if I'm okay with that though.

Mike Works, I think.

 

[Mike Works]

This President's Trophy isn't nearly as special as the first one, but I gotta commend the Canucks for being the best team in the NHL this (regular) season despite not playing their best hockey for long stretches.

Big credit goes to Luongo and Schneider, with honorable mention going to Chris Higgins.

Good job boys!

Shit will get destroyed in my house if this happens.

 

[CCF23]

This game feels like a playoff game.

 

[BigJonsson]

Are the Sharks going to OT or to Community?

 

[Marty Chinn]

This game feels like a playoff game.

You should have seen the Sharks vs Stars match up earlier in the week; that felt like Game 7 in a playoff series.

 

[Puddles]

Going to OT after blowing a 2 goal lead. WTF else is new?

This team doesn't even deserve the playoffs. Give our spot to the fucking Ducks.
