it breaks my heart to say this but... I think we are done this season... stamkos went on early vacation and ben bishop has narcolepsy

 

[MetatronM]

RIP Caps

The Caps are also historically terrible at home in Game 7's.


True story: the Rangers lost the regular season series to every single remaining Eastern Conference team...except the Capitals.

On the flip side, we were 2-0 against every remaining Western team, except for the Blackhawks, who we went 1-1 against.

 

[Mentok]

Even in celebration Price is calm!

Even though I picked the Lightning (in 5 lol), tonight I'm a Red Wings/Isles fan.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Caps for my bracket and general piece of mind.

Battle of New York man.


I want it badly.

 

[Solo]

I just want to see Habs/Rags ECF rematch, whatever it takes.

 

[Foggy]

Please have a GIF of him just paused like that and Ron just talking to him on loop.

 

[Giggzy]

Lol! Perfect!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I just want to see Habs/Rags ECF rematch, whatever it takes.

I want a Islanders/Habs ECF.

Halak vs Price.

 

[zroid]

Brilliant.

no other sports GAF has this kind of material to work with. they just can't compare.

 

[Solo]

I also want the Wings to win so we can witness the O6 matchup of Habs/Wings, which hasn't happened in my lifetime.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Don Cherry Froze himself so won't have to listen to Ron anymore.

 

[Red_Man]

I want a Islanders/Habs ECF.

Halak vs Price.

I'd prefer this. I don't see us beating the Rangers even though they looked pretty beatable in that series against Pittsburgh.

 

[imBask]

I want a Islanders/Habs ECF.

Halak vs Price.

yes please, let the Islanders do the dirty work and then let the Halak choke begin

 

[Megasoum]

Holy Shit

Weekend at Don's


That shit looks exactly like my dad when he falls asleep watching tv. Then you wake him up and he swears he was awake the whole time.

 

[Solo]

I want to play the Rags because I feel like a Cup run is all about facing and beating teams that previously beat you. Like how Montreal scaled the Boston mountain last year and got revenge on Ottawa last night. The Rangers are the class of the East, and the road to the Cup in the East goes through NYC.

 

[MetatronM]

After a nice weekend off, the Rangers are back to work with an "optional" practice.

Pretty much the entire healthy team is on the ice. So is Kevin Klein. Marc Staal, Keith Yandle, and Mats Zuccarello are not.

 

[Solo]

Not to mention that a Rags/Habs rematch would possibly be the most entertaining series of the playoffs after last year's tilt.

Therrien's systems will ensure that no Habs playoff series will be particularly entertaining

I said "the most entertaining", which is not "the best hockey". Shenanigans/salt/drama/chippiness-wise, Rags/Habs would be glorious.

 

[zroid]

Why can't I have both?! :^(

I dunno if anything will beat Preds/Hawks this year, that series had everything.

Isles/Rags maybe!

 

[Kave_Man]

Brilliant.

NBA-GAF would if it wasn't dead.

 

[Filth]

ZUCCARELLO OUT INDEFINETLY WITH A CONCUSSION NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Solo]

If Wings win tonight (ie. all series over), what are we looking at for Round 2 starting? Wednesday? Thursday?

 

[Foggy]

Holy Shit

Weekend at Don's

Madame Tussaud's wax dummy game is on point.

 

[MetatronM]

^
Yup, Zuccarello out indefinitely with a suspected concussion.

Kevin Klein says he would have played in Game 6. He expects to play in Game 1.

So we lose one and get one back.

 

[zroid]

oh my god lol ONeill is killing me

going on about how Vrbata is a useless player and Ferland and Clutteruck are the guys you need in the playoffs.

my brain cellssssssss

That's just what happens when you're raised watching Cherry.

I heard Thursday for Montreal.

 

[MetatronM]

For those of you pulling for the Islanders:

Steve Zipay ‏@stevezipay 12m 12 minutes ago

Lundqvist: If it's Rangers-Isles, "it'll be a war."

With Zucc out, the Rangers will be calling up a spare forward from the Wolf Pack after their game tomorrow night.

No lines set yet according to AV, but he gave indications that it will likely be:

Nash-Brassard-St.Louis
Kreider-Stepan-Miller
Hagelin-Hayes-Fast
Glass-Moore-Sheppard

McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-Klein
Yandle-Boyle

Vrbata was stuck with a comatose second line. Still the best off-season aquisition of last season.

He's probably salty RE: Vancouver because people complained when he was a dick on-air and now he no longer does guest radio spots on our TSN radio affiliate.

[Smiley90]

So you guys know how Burrows played with a broken rib? Guess who broke it?

... a LINESMAN.

Why am I not surprised that the Refs ultimately hurt Burrows :lol

 

[CreeperBlocks]

For those of you pulling for the Islanders:

Hnnnng.

It's what I want.

I honestly believe Don Cherry is better than John Madden


Sports Personality wise that is.

 

[lamaroo]

Good Guy Subban

 

[User 479360]

C'mon Bolts and Isles!

 

[LifeLike]

What would be better for the Habs?
VS Tampa Bay or VS Detroit?

Either way it's not gonna be easy. I've been watching a lot of series and MTL vs OTT was the most boring.

Nope, it was not the most boring, you say that because it was the closest one.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Good Guy Subban

Was just trying to wake him up. What a good guy.

 

[lamaroo]

Detroit would be the better matchup for them, but there's the Babcock factor.

 

[Square Triangle]

Lightning just keep on bitching about the officiating and that the Wings need to be the veteran team that they are?

1. Bolts are 2/24 on the power play while the Wings are averaging two penalties per period.

2. Most the players on the Wings were not around when they last won the cup in 2008.

Spare me, own up to not showing up but Johnson.

 

[Mentok]

Sports Personality wise that is.

To me, they're both members of the Old Gray Mare band.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I also want the Wings to win so we can witness the O6 matchup of Habs/Wings, which hasn't happened in my lifetime.

Don't forget the Battle of New York. You might have seen one but I certainly haven't.

GAME 7 TONIGHT YEAHHHHHHH

GO ISLES

Detroit is the better match-up, but no series is east going forward. Hoping for Detroit though, for sure.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

GAME 7 TONIGHT YEAHHHHHHH

GO ISLES

I also want to see this Rangers/Isles war.

Hope it's like the ending of Man of Steel. Everything gets destroyed.

 

[MetatronM]

Don't forget the Battle of New York. You might have seen one but I certainly haven't.

I have. Hopefully this one would go just as well. The last one was a sweep with an aggregate score of 22-3 Rangers.
