"If the Wild wins out, it can finish as high as sixth if the San Jose Sharks lose in regulation to the Los Angeles Kings in their finale."

This would be awesome!

Sharks.

We're the pretty girl with low self esteem that Nucks-Age wants to ask to the prom. They think it's easy ding dong time but IT WON'T BE.
Shark vagina in 5

Fuuuuuuuuck. The biochem department subsidizing my beer is the best thing ever.
Oh man a drunk Smiley that knows too much

Wanna know what happened last time we got matched up with Minnesota in the first round of the playoffs?
I have no idea why don't you tell me dastardly

The Wild take the Nucks/Wild rivalry much more seriously, I think. That scares me
 
didn't we get swept or 5 games or something?

Nah, no sweep if it's 5 games. But it was all pretty much all over the shop until Jiggy came back in Game 5.

Game one of the series began at the Honda Center. Ducks back-up goalie Ilya Bryzgalov began the series while starter Jean-Sebastien Giguere tended to his newborn son. Pavol Demitra opened the scoring for Minnesota. Teemu Selanne tied the game on a breakaway, and Dustin Penner scored the game winner late in the third. Game two was another close game, but the Ducks pulled out a 3–2 win to take a 2–0 series lead at home.

The series shifted to the Xcel Energy Centre for game three. Once again, the Ducks proved to be the superior team as they netted goals from Andy McDonald and Rob Niedermayer. Petteri Nummelin gave the Wild a goal in the last minute of play, but the Ducks held on for a 2–1 win. In game four, Chris Pronger opened the scoring for the Ducks. However the Wild took over the game halfway through the second period and managed a 4–1 win to keep the series going. Going back to Honda Centre for game five, Giguere returned to the net and crushed the Wild's hopes by allowing one shot past him. The Ducks won the game 4–1 and eliminated the Wild.

RIP Demitra :(

Oh, ok! Well...

But do you remember what else happened?

Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo made his first playoff appearance in game one at General Motors Place. After giving up the lead three times in regulation, Henrik Sedin won the game when he converted a pass from his brother Daniel at the 18:06 mark of the fourth overtime. It was the longest game the Canucks ever played, and the sixth longest playoff game in NHL history. Luongo stopped 72 of 76 shots in the 5–4 victory. The Stars opened game two with a goal just 24 seconds in, and the Canucks were not able to recover as Dallas goaltender Marty Turco shut them out 2–0. After earning a split in Vancouver, the Stars returned home to American Airlines Center for game three. Once again, the Stars came out with the opening goal scored by Stu Barnes. The Canucks tied the game on a Jan Bulis goal in the third period to send the game to overtime. The Canucks finished the Stars quickly this time as Taylor Pyatt scored the game winner 7:47 into the first overtime for a 2–1 win.

Game four remained scoreless into the third period. In the end, the Canucks pulled out another 2–1 victory thanks to goals from Mattias Ohlund and Trevor Linden. Back at General Motors Place for game five, both Luongo and Turco pushed aside every shot in regulation, and for the third time in the series, an overtime was needed. At 6:22 mark of the first overtime, Stars captain Brenden Morrow tipped the winner in off a Sergei Zubov shot for a 1–0 victory to send the series back to Dallas. In game six, the Stars pulled out a 2–0 win to force a seventh game in Vancouver. Marty Turco recorded his third shutout of the series.

Back in Vancouver for game seven, the Stars dominated the first period and came out with a 1–0 lead. In the second period, Henrik Sedin put the Canucks on the board. It was the Canucks first goal in three games and their first at home since game one. From there on, the Canucks took over the game. Trevor Linden scored the game winner 7:00 into the third. Two empty net goals gave the Canucks a 4–1 win as well as a series win.
 
Did someone mark my words? CAUSE I SURE DID

I AM RETURNING FROM THE GRAVE FOR A PREDICTION :






Tomorrow, the Habs will win. They will have a great rebound. They will also win against Toronto on the last game of the season.

MARK MY WORDS


Actually, someone fucking did mark my words. Thanks man
Looks like Foreign Jackass is going to be 1 for 1, lets see if he is right about the next game.
 
Winning against a team who found out they were eliminated after the second period is a great rebound? You guys were losing 2-1 before they found out they were eliminated.

Injury? He was fighting them all year.

He ran face first into an (accidental) elbow from Sanguinetti. Looked fine for a second but as soon as he tried to skate away he went all wobbly. Could barely get to the bench and had to be escorted by two teammates to the locker room during the TV timeout.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Yo Soc, be happy I handle my liquor comparatively well, because I was pretty close to dropping your name. Don't worry, I restrained.

So cakebossed. Good night. I love you Ducks-GAF.

Well, Season is done for the Jets. Gotta take the positives though:

They finished over .500.
They were able to have an actual decent road record this year.
They were able to win some back to back games too.
They had a nice little streak going this past month that, were it not for the teams that they were chasing doing even better, they could have gone further than this today.

I'm not angry or bitter about not making the playoffs. We all knew here in Winnipeg what kind of team we were inheriting and that it would take time to make it into a winning one. The 2 years here have seen the team improve for the most part, I think.

I'm also excited to be back in the West. Gonna be nice to build up some rivalries again with teams I am more interested in, like the Hawks, for instance.

Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba hopefully can make the team next fall and this upcoming draft looks to be exceptional. I'm already eager for the fall. haha. Ah well...

To the Offseason Thread!
(Is there one yet?)

Mario 3D Land (completed, loved, sold, would play again)
Star Fox 64 3D (finished but not completed 100%, loved, would play again)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (never played, but I've still got the DS ones to complete so might be silly to get this)

Which one do I add to my backlog?
