I remember the anticipation of the playoffs. That happened once. :-/
I'm going to need a new avatar for the playoffs, which player to choose though....
I used to do that as a kid when I couldn't find anything sweet to eat around the house.

I sometimes put it on my ice cream to add a different texture but never ate it plain.
That's pretty much why I did it today lol
Wow this sounds like a great idea.
I played the Beta more than I played the actual game, and I'm not sure why. I guess I only really play one game at a time for whatever reason and Super Mario 3D World is taking up all of my playing time right now.
Sooo... I guess Alfie did choose right, sorry cakeboss and Sens Gaf, there is always room on the Alfie bandwagon for you.
Edit: Mrazek top goalie in the AHL? Dat youth!!!
Never!
My salt for Traitersson is eternal. And his other option was the Bruins so in my head he still chose wrong
I'm going to take a wild guess that you're not involved in sales as your everyday profession
No and why would I want to be. That sounds horrible. I write code for 9 hours a day.

I still can't believe a Tabris prediction became correct. Blows my mind.

He said they were going to tear up the East. Let's not go overboard here.

2014 PACIFIC DIVISION CHAMPIONS: POST-LOCKOUT FULL SEASON EDITION
It's very good for them to be the best team in the hardest division in the NHL. Happy day. And great to prove that last season wasn't a fluke.
Rooting for the Sharks to beat the shit out of the Queens.
If we land Dallas, I'm worried.
Hi-5 and hugs, Duckvengers.
Huge congrats! Hope all went well.

The wife's labor started shortly before the game so I definitely don't think I'm forgetting that win
Huge congrats! Hope all went well.

I feel sorry for Leafs GAF Dan "The Brick" Ellis is starting.
Did sales to put me through most of college. Once I got out, never again. I'd rather be homeless than sell something.

Another season another late season fade for the Stars to 9th place. Too bad we can't blame it on Joe New In Dike. Good thing I work overnight so I don't have to witness it again....

Dater the Canadian media needs you. You can leave anytime, it is encouraged.
He legitimately sounded drunk or high on something, no idea why he agreed to do it.
Montreal host :"Do you like the Habs chances in the first round?"
Dater: "Well...not if Budaj is starting"
Montreal host : ".........well we know he's not"
There are a few underdogs to cheer for! No Caps make me sad and my hope was always foolish, so out of the east I'll be watching the Habs games, and seeing the Blue Jackets go on a run would be fun to watch maybe since they've never done anything. The West is always a little more tricky, seeing the Blackhawks win makes my Dad happy, so that's ok, other then that... ehhhhhhhhhhh.
Yeah, I think I'll do my usual routine and switch it up to a playoff avatar shortly too when it starts.

So my new stick I ordered yesterday from Canada with 2-5 day shipping is set to arrive today. Nice!!! Never had anything shipped through DHL or prostockhockeygear.com but dang is that fast stuff.

Oh actually the Mighty Dan Ellis is out. Lu has a new mask too!
I could see why a simp would drop the "play" part of the word
Winning the Eastern Finals would constitute tearing up the East.
What was his prediction? Detroit making the playoffs?
Alfie is Tabris confirmed...now it all makes sense.
Is Dater auditioning for a gig on a TSN or Sportsnet panel?
Because if so going on the radio in Montreal and saying batshit crazy and painfully stupid stuff is absolutely the way to go about it. Just reading about his insane mumblings on twitter proves he'd fit right in on any NHL panel.

One can only hope, because I see TSN very rarely.
I'll post the link to it if they put it up, the Montreal host was trying to be as polite as possible while ripping him.
"You said the Montreal Canadiens can't hold onto leads, but that isn't true, they have the 4th most regulation wins in the East"
Dater: "Well they didn't hold onto it last night and that's the game I was watching"
Not enough face palms for this guy.
Also said he didn't like Price because he hasn't won a cup yet. He's like an Hfboards poster put on the radio.

So I've been cheering for Tabris the entire year? Dang it.
Hmm.. Steve Dangle to talk about other series in playoffs.. wonder what he'll do since he always shits/cries/yells over how Leafs management suck ass.
The fact that hr has to talk about another playoff series means he's not wrong bud
I should call them the gameoffs CAUSE I GOT GAME SON

So that Ottawa 1st will likely be a top 10 pick... Not a terrible trade if Noesen pans out and Silfverberg improves
Damnit, he wasn't playing well recently, but it sucks to see him out of the lineup.

FUUUUUUUU.....
I just realized our 3rd to Nashville turned into a 2nd since we made the playoffs.

I bet Detroit will do well in the playoffs.
Or I think it's called the Gameoffs.
Optional skate this morning. Barely anyone out there but Chris Kreider is skating, and wearing both gloves today, so that's a decent sign.
McDonagh is out tonight for sure but is considered 50/50 for Saturday against Montreal. Decision will be made after Saturday's morning skate.
50/50 whether Talbot or Lundqvist plays against Montreal on Saturday. Probably depends on what happens tonight. I believe that if the Rangers win tonight in regulation or overtime and the Flyers lose in regulation then the Rangers would clinch the 2 seed in the Metro division, in which case I would expect to see Talbot for the final game of the season.

Depends, team hasn't really played great lately, just been lucky and getting bounces (which we couldn't seem to buy earlier this year).
And Heretic will forever be beta.
So both West teams that moved East made the playoffs... /westisbest
They played great last night though, Fleury stole that game (or Monster lost it). I hope we can hold on to the 1st WC, against Boston I think we'd need at least one of Ericsson/Z back, maybe both to have a chance.
Babcock seemed very relieved in the postgame. Most open I've heard him be about our shit luck injury wise and how much better the kids are than the washed up vets playing at the start of the year.
