The official NHL thread

[Aerosmith87]

Devils are done.

[Facedown]

The refs keep trying to make it even but it's not working out too well.

Yeah especially when they have a reverse power play. Bullshit! But whatever, I'll save a lot of time and money this Stanley Cup season.

[pieceofme]

Devils are done.

Yep.

[Aerosmith87]

Go Islanders, I guess.

[Facedown]

Enjoy your time off, Volchenkov.

4-3 now though...I don't wanna get let down, but I gotta keep watching.

[chungasrevenge]

Isles playoff chances jump from 77% to 89% if they win in Boston tonight. B's haven't played 60 minutes since February, Marchand is out and the second game of a back to back. Ripe for the picking.

Devils odds fall to 9.3%.

Jets are at 32%.

Yeah, safe to say the teams are just about set.

[pieceofme]

Go Islanders, I guess.

That is who I'm rooting for in the East if the Panthers don't make it (which they obviously won't)

[Facedown]

Enjoy your time off, Volchenkov.

4 Games.

Yeti aka The One Eyed Swede debuts for the B's against Pittsburgh on 4/19. The conference should be afraid:

Report is now that the Swedish Federation or whomever has control of him will not release him to the NHL supposedly because they want him to play in the Worlds.

Mike Felger: "Can Chiarelli close anything?"

[Bassmaster1984]

Why did the Sharks destroy their once awesome jerseys? Fuck, they look shitty now. I can't get over it.

We will crush the federation. Supposedly Jacobs has Daly and Bettman on the case.

I can't remember the last time the Habs clinched a playoff spot with 2 weeks left in a season. The turnaround this year has been nothing short of astounding:

Old Habs: only win when goalie stops 40+ shots and/or PP leads the league...

New Habs: Strong in goals for, strong in goals against, good on special teams, near top of the league in 5-5 play; play through injuries...

It's amazing what transparent management and good leadership can do.

This team should not be a cup contender, and time will tell if they're tough enough for the playoffs, but you can't say the 4th overall team in the league isn't a serious contender.

Color me shocked and delighted!

[Facedown]

Soderberg has told the Swedish coach that he will not play in the World Championships.

[Kid-Wicked]

Enjoy your time off, Volchenkov.

4 Games.

love to buy that guy a beer.

hells yeah, me too. Ratboy had it coming.

Awww, look at the still butthurt Canucks fans cheering an injury.
Volchenkov would fit right in on your team, a spineless faggot.
At least Marchand didn't dive.

[chungasrevenge]

B's landed on pink this week. Enough already with the "tired" crap.

Marchand is a little douche that plays bigger than he is. Why? cuz he has Vancouver-born and raised Milan Lucic to stick up for him.....Don't go getting all uptight now, just stating facts.

[Facedown]

Don't go getting all uptight now, just stating facts.

Don't go cheering an injury now, that would be a little douche move.
Just stating facts.

Jackets stole 2 points in Minny tonight. Tied for 8th but have played one
more game.

Bob!!

5 (in a row) of the last 6 on the road. If they do get in, they will have earned it.

I've seen way worse lovetaps than that hit, just karma catching up with the mental midget.....and I forgot to mention......Cam Neely.....from Maple Ridge, suburb of Vancouver........you guys won that trade...fact.

[Facedown]

I've seen way worse lovetaps than that hit

So, you're some kind of authority on what injury can be laughed at and what can't and how severe it is?

just karma catching up with the mental midget

You're laughing at someone getting injured, you're a douche and a mental midget and karma will catch up with you....fact.

.....and I forgot to mention......Cam Neely.....from Maple Ridge, suburb of Vancouver........you guys won that trade...fact.

You probably should have stayed with not mentioning it since it has nothing to do with this....fact.

Here's a fact for you since you have so little.
Milan Lucic isn't on the same line as Marchand and the way Lucic has played the last season or so especially in the playoffs, people are getting sick of him. He's not "sticking up" for anyone. He scored his second goal in something like 25 games last night and he leaves his physical presence at the door. 3 fights this season, 6 goals.
Maybe he's showing his true Vancouver colors.

I'm SUPPOSED to be in St. Louis today for the Blackhawks game but my wife is all like, 'your son has his first communion that day'. That would have been a fun road trip.

They are actually the talk of the town! Well, they're still (and always will be) behind Ohio State football and they had their spring game this weekend, but CBJ fans are awake and the rest of the city is jumping on the bandwagon. I have to say, it is a lot more fun to watch them when the game means something!! We're not used to that around here.

They have to pretty much run the table to get in...

6-0 = 99%
5-1 = 97%
4-2 = 25%

Currently sit at 23% odds. I hope they pull it off.

Running the table on the road...nearly impossible. The playoffs would be awesome! But really, if they can finish above .500 that will be huge for ticket sales next year and help the citizens of Columbus "forget" two strikes in one decade. If that last home game, the last game of the season, is a "win and you're in" type game, the city will go ape. When we hosted playoff games in the past, it was a foregone conclusion that Detroit was going to kill the CBJ.

And even so, game 4 vs Detroit was freaking LOUD. It seemed like half the place was standing for the entire 3rd period.
