Just wait til you see where I've firmly planted the Henrik Sedin figure.

Please Dastardly. This is a family forum.

Please Dastardly. This is a family forum.

We're in the community section. We're pretty much lost in the woods anyway.

I'm just not going to pay attention to Dastardly anymore. I'll read what he has to say after we win the Stanley Cup. He just has nothing to offer to playoff discussion as he's too busy Failing to Fail for Nail

 

[Acid08]

Tabris bitter over jokes.

Still haven't found that gingerbread house.

Did you say something Tabris? Sorry I couldn't hear you, you sound a bit muffled...

 

[Tabris]

No humour among enemies!

Made this for how I reacted on Saturday night... might be the only Canuck fan here that fears LA though

You're not the only one. Worst possible first round matchup we could've gotten.

ITS WEDNESDAY

To get away from the canucks circlejerk... something for Pens-GAF:

PREDS IN 8!

OMG it's playoff morning! An excitement is in the air! A month and a half of ignoring my pregnant wife! Hope our marriage survives this!

This is the day Lord Stanley has made! Let us rejoice and be glad!

12 hours to go - I'm gonna wake up at 9am and grab a breakfast beer to watch the first playoff game!

(which is Kings @ Canucks on TV here)

Ready to get the playoffs going. Hitchcock is downplaying Elliott's injury. I'm sure Halak would have gotten the start tomorrow anyway though. Still curious about how Hitchcock is planning on splitting time between the two. He hasn't really said anything about it, and I doubt he plans on starting just Halak for the entire playoffs or even an entire round all by himself.

When was the last time two goalies were intentionally tandemed (IE: without one being at obvious fault, 2011 Flyers style) in a playoff series?

Don't you have your own team to cheer for? Holtby is Roy 2.0. Believe!

I'M SO SORRY. I didn't have any more obvious recent examples in my head.

 

[ShaneB]

On the eve of the 2012 playoffs, I think I will revisit last year's Thread of Victory. Over 1/10th of my posts in 7 years on GAF are in that thread. Oh, the meltdowns, the joy, the memories...

I finally got my GAF account approved right around this time, so I jumped in right away. All I remember though is being called out for being a bandwagoner. lol

We're so winning the cup this year.

The glorious day is upon us my friends!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

This whole Flyers/Pens series debut just reminded me about how awkward this was to watch...

It's not any surprise, but the Bruins confirm that Horton will miss the playoffs

Finally, it's today. It's going to be a long day at work.

It's not even noon and I'm going crazy. Listening to radio playoff preview and analysis. I need it to start!! I'm just wondering what game to watch first I guess before the Canucks game. I'm really interested in seeing how the Preds play against the Wings, but Pens/Flyers should be a crazy series.

 

[apocalidiot]

It's Wednesday and I have class all day until 5:30ish. Hell yeah, I'm beyond pumped

Last year's Cup run was something magical. So many clapping bears.
Will be a daunting task to repeat especially without Horton to give us a lift and win Game 7s for us.

Then again, we have a higher playoff seed than last year.
We scored more goals this season. The only team to outscore us were the Penguins.
We lead the league in goal differential.
We've only lost two of our last 10 games in regulation.

The first round matchups for last year's two finalists are both "the worst possible on paper" in the eyes of both team's fanbases. We draw last season's Presidents Trophy winners in the Capitals... a team that won 3 of 4 matchups in the regular season that's expected to tote out their 3rd string goaltender tomorrow night. The name "Braden Holtby" is already giving MacAttack fits and the series hasn't even started yet.

Gentlemen, it is almost time.

This is the Wings time to shine!

Still feel like Edmontin trades the #1 pick.

Oilers get Schnieder. Van gets #1.

Columbus fans on suicide watch.

Canuck circle jerk was in full force last night that I ALMOST wanted the queens to take the series. Canuck fans, it was THAT bad. Stop it. Or at least wait until you eliminate the queens.

that is all.

I want you to support the Red Wings... or else!

How much return does a team usually get for a #1 pick? I know nothing about pick trades.
