NHL April 2019/ Playoff Thread

Yet another Canadian team blowing a lead and losing, the lackey krokodil junkies Calgary Flames blew a 2-0 lead and lose 3-2 with, oh, about 15 seconds left in regulation. :mad::mad::mad:

  • signed, Canadian who pulls for other Canadian teams in the play-offs when his team (in my case teams) don’t even qualify for the play-offs for, like, the thousandth trillionth time.

I can see Bolts fans next season just simply rolling their eyes as their team amasses yet another killer season. Maybe TBL should have a comparatively mediocre one, you know, for shits and giggles. Who knows - maybe a better play-off performance as a result. :confused:

As an Islanders fan, I would love to see the Caps and the Flames both taken down. Fewer speed bumps on the Isles inevitable march to a fifth Cup!

The only sad part for me is that I only get to see the Isles play 12 more times this season. :frowning:

:smiley:

Will the Sharks rise from the dead on Easter Sunday?

To use a baseball comparison, the 2012 SF Giants did it twice in the playoffs on their way to winning it all:
[ul]
[li]down 0-2 games to the heavily-favored Cincinnati Reds and Dusty Baker, the Giants swept the last 3 games to win the NLDS Series, 3-2[/li][li]down 3-1 games to the STL Cardinals, the Giants swept the last 3 games to win the NLCS Series, 4-3[/ul][/li]
And then they swept the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers in the World Series, 4-0 games to win the championship!

It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

Steve Yzerman just named GM of Red Wings. I don’t think there’s anyone who didn’t anticipate this. Still, it’s official now and what a great hiring by the Wings.

Jets/Blues: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a series where the first five games were all home losses.

Whew. Leafs up 3-2 now.

I can breathe again.

This is going to be interesting. 2 chances for the Leafs to blow it…

Gee, thanks. :roll_eyes:

Wow. Colorado.

Cheer up – it could be worse. :frowning:

I hear ya, my friend.

The Stars top line came to play this afternoon.

Who should I root for now, since the Penguins failed? It isn’t enough just to root against the Capitals. I want to be FOR someone.

You can root for the Stars. Be Loud. Wear Green. Go Stars!

I definitely prefer the Stars to the Predators. Yay Stars!

It looks like Winnipeg are playing rope-a-dope or something. 6 shots after 2 periods in an elimination game.

And Winnipeg is toast.

Yeah, everyone who’s team has been eliminated should root for the Stars!

Definitely the Islanders. First of all, no one thought they should be here – they lost their best player from last season, and ended doing much better. Second. they have no real stars – it’s a true underdog story with team play leading to their success. Third, when they win the cup, you can say, “Well, Pittsburgh would have been there, had they not lost to the eventual winners.”

Countering that, the Islanders fan in this thread is an asshole, talking about only seeing them 12 more times; he’s probably going to put some lame, colorful thing at the end of his post. But, that’s not the Islanders’ fault!

Go Islanders!!

It looks like Oshie has a broken collarbone and is likely done for the playoffs.
