Support NeoGAF

[Leeness]

Sooooo, Nucks-GAF meet up at the Cambie st. bridge?

Look at your life, look at your choices.

...I'll join you

 

[RBH]

That is how literally every other major sports league in America does it.

Except the NFL and MLB don't do that.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Panthers- GAF is accepting all Nucks refugees. We gave you Lou.

I think every Panthers starter needs to wear a gold helmet. Beezer's was awesome

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Be sure to tape the mass suicide, guys. Don't be selfish.

 

[RC]

Panthers- GAF is accepting all Nucks refugees. We gave you Lou.

And you can have him back. Beat the Devils, please.

 

[Tawpgun]

Stay safe Vancouver.

 

[Revenant]

Here's to you Tabris.

 

[Plinko]

Canada needs to unite behind the Senators.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Raymond's a 2nd/3rd line player on the Leafs?

/depth



I'd say Lions Gate since the view is better, but traffic will probably suck.

How many points did he have vs Kessel and Lupul?

That's RIGHT!

 

[iqubal]

Here's to you Tabris.

hahahhaah oh man. I shouldn't be laughing this hard but am.

 

[Puddles]

I like it this way. Would you give the 8 seed home ice in the next round?

No, higher seed always gets home ice/field/court. What I'm saying is that the NHL is the only league that re-draws the bracket after every upset.

Edit: everyone thought I meant that the lower-seeded team should be able to steal home-ice by upsetting a higher seed. That's not what I meant.

Anyway, enough on this subject. This system is what it is. Looking forward to the St. Louis series!

 

[ZZMitch]

Now I know why my dorm just became silent.

Thank You Kings.

I'm on the Sens bandwagon now. GO SENS!

 

[RC]

Canada needs to unite behind the Senators.

Fuck that. After last season, I'm done supporting teams just because they happen to be Canadian. But having said that, at least beat the fucking Rangers.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Rev :lol :lol :lol

11/10

 

[Coldnoodle]

America needs to unite behind the Capitals.

Eastern Conference Finals:

Capitals v.s Senators ''Obama v.s Harper''

 

[Sibylus]

Preamble: From the bottom of my heart, Tabris, FUCK YOU

Scratch another post-season. Too many penalties, too many giveaways, too many men falling down at the worst possible times. But yeah, like others here I was amply prepared for this outcome. Quick was playing solidly and the numbers weren't in our favor in the slightest. Kings worked hard for this series win and ultimately deserve it. Congratulations!

Beat Boston, and I'll be behind the Caps 100%.

 

[DopeyFish]

No, higher seed always gets home ice/field/court. What I'm saying is that the NHL is the only league that re-draws the bracket after every upset.

So you are saying that for winning 1st overall... That the team should face 2nd in the conference if they win? Instead of the lowest loser? That doesn't make sense... The teams worked all year long for their position

The regular season needs this meaning.

You get 8th and you should always have the most difficult matchup unless you hit an 8th seed in the finals

But teams in 8th can pull it off... The oilers did it a few years ago and got all the way to game 7 in the finals

 

[MetatronM]

That is how literally every other major sports league in America does it.

No it isn't. Football does the exact same thing with the lowest seed facing the highest seed.

 

[Jakeh111]

What a crazy playoff season so far

 

[SpectreFire]

America needs to unite behind the Capitals.

Capitals v.s Senators ''Obama v.s Harper''

Your shitty president's got nothing on our shitty prime minister!

 

[vatstep]

The bracket needs to be updated, I wanna know how many people picked the Kings over the Canucks (aside from Entropia, the one person who picked LA to win it all)!

 

[The Internet]

I don't know why everyone is after Tabris, he's the least annoying out of all the Canucks fans I have seen on this forum the past 8 or so years of lurking/posting.

I picked LA, makes me feel special, though I picked Detroit, horrible decision.

[RC]

This doesn't bode well for the future of the league. If all the tight checking trapping teams advance.

Eastern Conference, you're our only hope.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

C'monnnn Rangers!

Sleeper Tabris alt?

I did. Picked the Caps too, so that'd be wonderful.

...No offense.

Me. My eastern conference is in huge trouble though.

this is hilarious. Sad, but hilarious.

Okay, just to clarify. I'll use the NBA, since it's closest to the NHL in playoff structure.

1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6, and 4 plays 5.
If all higher seeds win, in the next round 1 plays 4, and 2 plays 3.

With no reseeding, if #8 pulls off an upset but all other top seeds win, the second round would be #4 vs #8 (#4 with home ice/court) and #2 vs #3.

Instead, under the NHL's system, we get #2 vs #8, and #4 vs whoever wins the 3/6 series. As a fan of the #8 team, I would obviously prefer if it were not this way. But the system is what it is, and it seems that most fans in this thread prefer it that way.

That's all I was saying. Sorry to derail for so long.

 

[MetatronM]

80% picked the Canucks to beat the Kings.

Also, 50% of voters have had their predicted Stanley Cup Winners eliminated.

 

[dream]

Puddles, is Coach Sutter's press conference being streamed anywhere?

 

[Quick]

 

[Puddles]

I picked the Penguins to win it all.

I did pick the Kings over the Canucks though.

Puddles, is Coach Sutter's press conference being streamed anywhere?

Not sure. My steam started playing elevator music, and I haven't looked for a new one.

 

[Sibylus]

It's easy enough to speak well of the leper when you don't have to interact with him in any coherent sense.

 

[TheKaeptain]

What were the odds on the Kings winning?

 

[Razorskin]

Welcome LA basketball fans!

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'd just like to remind everyone that Socreges was the most scared about being matched up with the Queens, while everyone else was mildly suspicious at best.

Smart bear.

Also Queens, you can now go back to fucking yourselves. You're out in the second round.

 

[Ra\/en]

where is Tabris? was he at the game?

He needs to come in here and explain what happened.

 

[friskykillface]

L.A vs Boston Stanley cup final? D:


Bruins can still go RIP though on Wednesday

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I think every Panthers starter needs to wear a gold helmet. Beezer's was awesome

Beezer helmet, best helmet.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Welcome LA basketball fans!

Hey I was in here trying to choose a team during the great NBA-Thread lockout of 2012!




EDIT: THAT IS A BADASS HELMET!

 

[Marvie_3]

He needs to come in here and explain what happened.

"I was just kidding. The REAL destiny is next year! I mean it this time!"

 

[endresults]

Poor Canucks. Tanto nadar para morir en la orilla.

All that swimming just to die on the shore.

 

[MetatronM]

What were the odds on the Kings winning?

Apparently, as of two weeks ago:

Here are NHL Playoffs 2011 odds via Bodog:

* Pittsburgh Penguins 4/1
* New York Rangers 11/2
* Vancouver Canucks 11/2
* St. Louis Blues 15/2
* Boston Bruins 8/1

[wsoxfan1214]

"I was just kidding. The REAL destiny is next year! I mean it this time!"

Harold Camping is Tabris?

...It all makes sense now.

 

[Cake Boss]

C'monnnn Rangers!

Alfie, Silfverberg and Stone all in for Monday.

FINISH OFF THE RAGS

I was worried too. LA was the worst first round opponent we could've gotten.

Haha, some of these calls from the team1040 are beyond delusional. Getting Phaneuf from the Leafs? Ha.
