NHL April 2019/ Playoff Thread

Dang! Carolina storms back just like that.

No; during that time I lived in Enfield.

Yeah, but at this rate, the headline is going to be “Avs sweep 2 remaining Carolina players in Cup Final”.

The Islanders need to get smaller posts. How many times did they ring those?

Anyway, I think it’s time to panic, so I’m on that.

I hadn’t even seen this article before I posted that: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/28/sports/islanders-hurricanes-nhl-playoffs.html

Headline: Clanging Metal May Haunt Islanders After Another Home Loss to Hurricanes

The answer to my question is four times in the third period. Grrr.

Caps have a few more weeks as lame-duck Stanley Cup Champions. :smiley:

The whole thread of my conversation boils down to the fact that sometimes I post before I think…I was in error about Benn…and the link is NOT what I thought I posted.

I do stand by Subban being “goonish”…a good player but he diminishes it by playing dirty and disregarding the whistle a lot.

Again, I can be an idiot sometimes…sorry.

Lets Go Blues !!

On a side note…St Louis does NOT restrict tickets by zip code or geographical location. Why does Dallas?

Okeydoke! I do the same myself sometimes. :smiley:

Hmm, Subban being “goonish”. I wouldn’t want to be hit by him, god knows, and he does seem to take joy in taunting the other side. But I’d classify him as a “pest” for that behavior. I admire him, but not when we play him. Yeah, he’d be easier to respect without the pest behavior, it’s pretty much replaced the actual goon today. It still requires you to be able to play, but it’s not exactly sportsmanlike.

And hey, I can’t root for the Blues right now, but if they beat us, I will. No shame in losing to the cup champ if they become that, after all. Tonight was a great game, maybe the best non-OT game I’ve seen this playoffs, but I wish the Stars had won.

Wow, they do? If so? Yeah, that’s a pretty jackass behavior. Move away from TX (say to OKC), and still want to catch a playoff game? Tough!

Yeah, it was a wild shot in the dark.
Tomorrow night: Go Sharks!!

Nice win tonight by the Sharks. Hat trick for Couture!

Martin Jones played great tonight. Big win for the Sharks.

Interesting - Canes go up 2-1 on the Bruins.

At the start of the series I called the Canes in 6 - shoulda actually posted it here.

Who knows? Do they do it for everyone, or just certain areas? I can understand if Dallas residents get first pick, but at one point (I don’t know if they still do it), Washington wouldn’t sell to anyone from Western PA. When he got called out, Ted Leonsis basically said, “fuck off, I’ll do it anyways.” (Well, not quite)

I think you mean Blue Jackets. Though the Canes are up 2-0 on the Islanders.

:smack::p:smack:

indeed.

heh.

Canes win 5-2. go up 3-0 on the Islanders.:smiley:

Yeah, wow. That’s the surprise of the second round so far. I would have figured that series to be a slog that goes to at least six. Shows what I know, at least so far. At this point, I’d be surprised if it goes to five.
And wow, pretty convincing win by the Stars tonight. Montgomery looks something like a genius for shaking up the front lines. I don’t know where his instincts come from, and I’m surprised by them often, but they appear to be correct.

Can Carolina keep it up with all the injuries they’ve been seeing, tho?

And yeah, Dallas looked great tonight!

We got Svetchnikov and Martinook back last night, and Mrazek and Ferland might play Friday.

I wondered about all the injuries, but they did all right.

I think I have a little crush on Justin Williams.
