Bruins need Briere.

 

[jello44]

The Flyers could be a pretty damn good team if they only had to play the first two periods.

The Canucks are dark horses now? Amazing.

The Canucks are dark horses now? Amazing.

Considering every fan this side of the country apparently doesn't expect them to get past the first round? Kind of.

Like I said - homer pick.

Keslord is the new Tabris. Or the same Tabris, who knows.

What's your favourite dark horse this year, NHLGAF?

Mine are:

• Vancouver Canucks: The homer pick, but still something to keep an eye on. Will be healthy when the playoffs start, with players like Kesler and Booth back. Schneider is playing unreal. No more pressure on them from winning the President's Trophy or from just being expected to win the cup.
• Ottawa Senators: Deadly, deadly team. I think they have the potential to upset every single team they play. All three of their goaltenders are good, they'll be healthy when the playoffs start, and a whole host of other reasons. The Senators are the only team I can see taking out the Pens in under 7 games.
• Columbus Blue Jackets: No longer restricted to the spotlight of Rick Nash, the bluejackets have picked up their play substantially. If they're able to squeak into that eigth spot, I can see them causing a lot of problems for the Blackhawks or Ducks. Bobrovsky is finally playing to hit potential and their offense is beginning to wake up.

I don't think the Canucks really fit the definition of dark horse

 

[Smiley90]

That's what I meant by "the same Tabris".

I don't think the Canucks really fit the definition of dark horse

Neither do the Senators, they've been good all season. It'd have to be sth like the Rangers, Blue Jackets and Leafs or sth to even begin to make sense.

 

[Chris R]

Damn fine save on the breakaway there

Tabris is Marvie.

 

[kassatsu]

Cooke

 

[C Jones]

So glad Cooke got one. He's been a beast today.

That second line looked ridiculous last shift, damn they are going to be hard to deal with when they get more games together under their belt.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

COOKIE MONSTER! He's had an awesome game so far.

 

[Keslord]

Tabris is Marvie.

EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE

 

[Kave_Man]

Toronto Maple Leafs for darkhorse!

 

[C Jones]

Isle announce team bitter haha, damn

Is it standard practice for pens fans to boo every call/no call?

 

[Red_Man]

Is it standard practice for pens fans to boo every call/no call?

They just started watching hockey a few years ago, they're still figuring out the rules.

What about those Penguin fellows?

 

[C Jones]

Is it standard practice for pens fans to boo every call/no call?

No. I can't speak to what happened earlier because I missed the 1st and most of the 2nd. But it's usually not like this.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Tabris is Marvie.

And Marvie is Rev... This has gotten interesting...

 

[C Jones]

True. They still don't know to call the local authorities.

 

[Red_Man]

True. They still don't know to call the local authorities.

Local authorities? It's all about calling the CSI crews now.

 

[Slurmer]

To be fair it happens with most teams. I do feel like pens fans go nuts after every clean check some games though

:lol :lol

Dont see any darkhorses from the East. Montreal too small or young, Rangers no depth, Leafs goaltending and defence inexperience but I guess they could be darkhorses for that reason. Just cant see any team beating Pens.

West has wild, wings, st.louis, canucks

 

[Smiley90]

Tabris is Marvie.

So wsox is actually Tabris' son?

WHAT A TWIST

EDIT: Calling the 3rd/4th team in the West and a team that's been near the top 2 seasons in a row a dark horse is not really what a dark horse is supposed to be, is it.

Rangers could surprise people, and I don't think you could call Montreal a dark horse seeing as they've fought for #1 in the East all season.

So wsox is actually Tabris' son?

My head hurts.

 

[Futureman]

they make a sound that sounds like a boo for Vokoun.

 

[Smiley90]

Biggest "dark horses" I can see are Leafs and Rangers. Although I refuse to believe the Leafs are capable of it.

That's one hell of a family tree.

Carolina could be a darkhorse if Cam Ward is healthy sooner than later.

True but the kunitz hit wasn't even open for interpretation, even in the rafters. Perhaps that one is making it more obvious.

I can see any of Ottawa, Boston or Montreal beating the Pens to be honest.

Learn how to read your schedule jerkface.

Amended what I wrote. Depends on your definition of darkhorse. I only see a team as a darkhorse if they make it to cup finals and they are not a cup contender. In that regard I think the Habs are a darkhorse. Same for the nucks. Habs probably the only legitimate dark horse in the east but Rags and Leafs its not impossible I guess.

 

[CCF23]

The dark horse in the east is definitely the Rangers. They are essentially what the Kings were last year. There's no WAY they should be in 8th place, and if they figure it out at the right time, they can beat anybody. They also have the best goalie in the world still.

I could see the Islanders doing serious damage too

Yep, this is what I'm saying. If they get the right players to click soon, they could be real dangerous.

Edit: Good job Flyers.

 

[vatstep]

Fourth time in a row that the Bruins have trailed 2-0 or worse to start a game, fifth loss in the last seven. Shitdicks.

Based Flyers!
