ducks pls

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

ducks pls

Sometimes I wonder just how fucked the Ducks are when Getzlaf and Perry finally start declining.

I like Despres, but gawt dawn, not seeing much from any of the kids that inspires brilliance.

Guess they're just playing it safe. A LOT of dump and chase - which never works.

ducks pls

Don't bother us, we're on vacation.

So I heard the Bruins lost tonight. Looks like it will be between Ottawa, Boston and Pittsburgh for the last two playoff spots in the east.

If the Pens don't make it: do they retool, do a half-rebuild, or do a complete rebuild?

The latter two probably won't happen, but having Jim Rutherford on the GM chair could make for an interesting off-season.

 

[trifelife]

Ticketmaster can suck my diiiiiiick but I got them yoffs tickets

Next step: Canucks coloured Juggalo face paint

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I'm hoping Anaheim is saving the mojo for the playoffs.

Arena cleared out fast.

So we're even now from last year, Kingslunk.
Even.

Boudreau not looking so good on the bench there

lol Rutherford...

well they probably shouldn't do anything drastic, 'cause their season was derailed by injuries a lot

 

[Pikma]

Enroth gets the shutout. Fucking Ruff should have given him a chance earlier in the season, not when everything was already lost. I hope we keep him and get rid of Lehtonen, I'd rather have an AHL tier golie as the backup

 

[Heretic]

I swear if Getzlaf doesn't come back looking like a gotdamn super saiyan I'm going to be pissed!

Getzlaf is the Goku to Perry's Vegeta.

Tell me I'm not correct.

Getzlaf is more Nappa :^)

How do you do a rebuild with one pick in the first four rounds of the draft?

Dorset agent Jason Davidson : "#Canucks appreciate Derek's grit and leadership, was not hard negotiation."

Well no shit. Fucking hell Benning.

 

[Smiley90]

The Caps have given up more goals to John Scott than to the entire Bruins team this season

let that sink in for a while

You really can't argue with that comparison. It's perfect.

Everyone gets a shutout.

oh nevermind.. i need to wake up.. :/

Getzlakarot you fool!

Jimmy Fallon did an NHL Superlatives segment last night; there were some good ones in there.

All I'm saying is Majin Perry had better come down that tunnel next week.

 

[Solo]

Ottawa basically in a must-win vs the Rags tonight. Should be a good one.

I cry tears of joy seeing Broons and the Pens decline, I use the same tears as lubricant for my masrturbation problem.

Apparently the Leafs are calling up Orr to thank him for his services by playing him in the last game

That tank game is too strong

He's going to injure Price isn't he.

Who knows!
Good thing Therrien's such a great defensive coach right?

 

[Calamari41]

He's going to injure Price isn't he.

Look at the fine print in the union contract. That job can only be performed by Chris Kreider, and if you give the job to someone else, you'll be hearing from our lawyers.

haha before the 3rd game started I remember thinking it'd be funny if it were a shutout as well. sorry Ducks-GAF, I jinxed ya.

 

[Samyy]

Surprised they're not gonna call-up one of Brown or Nylander

Marlies have important games on Friday and Saturday to push for a playoff spot.

 

[Red_Man]

Leafs are such a joke of a franchise, calling up Orr is a great way to summarize their season.

I'd rather he didn't injure any Habs :/ but seeing this is gonna be a send off for him, he probably is.

They've been learning from the Oilers. Kevin Lowe would be proud.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Orr recalled!

To play a final game for the Leafs. Stop worrying, Habs fans, he doesn't fight anymore

 

[zroid]

I doubt it, Orr is pretty harmless. that's what makes his presence these last few years even more perplexing -- not only can he not play hockey, he isn't even a "good" enforcer. he's just a guy... with leadership/character/grit or something.

 

[MetatronM]

the caps?

Speaking of golf enthusiasts, here's Teemu Selanne caddying at the Masters. I assume this has been posted in here before?

Anyway, Mats Zuccarello is not expected to take part in tonight's victory lap/Senators charity event at MSG. Henrik Lundqvist gets the start tonight and on Saturday, which means barring any extenuating circumstances we've likely seen Cam Talbot's final start of the year, possibly his final start as a member of the Rangers. Nice note to ride out on.

The Rangers have also just called up Ryan Bourque and Chris Summers. Expect them in the lineup tonight (it would be Ryan Bourque's NHL debut if he plays). Hitting dat snooze button hard it seems. You're welcome, Sens-GAF.

Meanwhile, Kevin Klein is doing stickhandling drills this morning. He is not expected to play in either of the two remaining games but, according to AV, should be ready to go in time for Game 1 next Thursday night.

Bet you almost forgot that we've been without our most consistent top 4 defenseman of the season for over a month now.

I think I'm letting Don Cherry his legacy colour my thoughts here.

Sens/Rangers and Flames/Kings are the marquee matchups tonight. Can't wait for that Flames/Kings game. This is basically playoff hockey right now. Also really would love the Panthers to beat the Bruins. Bunch of great games tonight. edit: And with the Masters as well, what a great sports weekend this is gonna be.

 

[zroid]

Apparently Nash and Staal are sitting out as well. Snes better take advantage.

 

[Sanjuro]

Rangers in tank mode. Going to be down to the last game!

Yup, Nash, Zuccarello, Staal are all out tonight.

Rick Nash has also been named the Rangers' team MVP, as voted on by the media, and he's won the team's Players' Player Award, as voted by the players. 8th time one player has taken both awards (Ryan McDonagh also did it last year). The other 6 were John Vanbiesbrouck, James Patrick, Adam Graves, Mark Messier, Mike Richter, and Brian Leetch.

Henrik Lundqvist had won the team MVP for 7 straight years before last year but interestingly has never been the Players' Player winner.
