2013-14 NHL thread

San Jose should no longer be listed in the regular season standings since they're really good at turning invisible 

I was really hoping they would win.  Kings fans are so annoying and they will buy up a ton of tickets in Anaheim unfortunately.  Ugh.  I'll be there for games 1 and 2....quack quack, go Ducks.

Hard to believe that was only the first round of playoffs. So good. Nearly every series/game was better than the next.

+1.


Looking forward to what I feel is the inevitable Pens - Bs conference final.

I agree with that. Looks to be setting up nicely for the Hawks to be taking on the winner.

Hawks in 5. Have tickets to the game tomorrow, weekend before finals at that.

So am I!

So am I!

Tough result tonight for the B's but that was one heck of a start to the conference semis.  Who has a harder shot, Subban or Boychuk?

Chico's, did you catch those chicks behind both benches last night on the Shrrrks/Kings broadcast wearing the Bail Bonds fluorescent t-shirts?  What gives? Are you just going to let them muscle in on your territory?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Would not shock me in the slightest if MTL beat the Bruins. Bruins are terribly overrated.

No, I missed it.  Were they wearing bail bonds shirts or Chicos shirts?  Chicos apparently is a women's clothing store out here (maybe nationally, who knows).

Good first win for the Hawks.  Love the Kane - Sharp - Smith line.  Bickel on the PP.  Crwford very good.

[MUsoxfan]

If Bryz is in goal, this may be a sweep

The east is over rated in general.  Better this year but still just wayyy overrated

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

If Bryz is in goal, this may be a sweep

In his defense he couldnt do much about the 5 goals. Bickell deflected the first one and he had no chance, the 2nd was a great pass by Saad the Kane goal was the dirtiest thing I have seen this playoffs and the other goal he didnt have a shot at saving. But that being said hes still not that great.

Going back to the Kane goal, I was at the UC and I dont think anybody expected that to go in. There was a delayed reaction for sure.

"I do not believe what I just saw."  Magic.

Oh its national, publicly traded chain. But its for older women's clothes, like Talbots.  I doubt they have neon t-shirts.

No, the shirts were actually hawking some bail bonds company from what it looked like... it was not the Chico's apparel chain.

Great comeback for the B's,  looking forward to the next couple in Montreal.

As for the East overrated talk, just curious how that line of thinking can come to be.   Overrated by whom?  The media?  I guess,  but with most of the major NHL media markets in the Eastern Conference (NY,  Detroit, Boston, Philly,  Pittsburgh,  Montreal,  Toronto,  hell even Buffalo is a huge hockey town),  what do you expect?  The west has Chicago.   So yeah,  the media coverage is going to be skewed.

Go B's.

For the second time in 3 years the Bruins have to apologize for racist comments by fans.  It was so bad that the N word was a top twitter trend.  Nice Boston.  

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I find it extremely comical that Ducks fans are chanting "Beat LA" when over half of them are more then likely Laker fans.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Tough way to lose, Chicos.  The Ducks can bounce back--the Hawks lost the first two to the Blues in similar last minute (7 seconds!) fashion.

I thought that "twitter trend" turned out to be on guy saying he saw it a lot on his timeline, and it wasn't actually trending.  Let me find the story.

You would be surprised how many of us despise the Lakers and the NBA in general.  Nevertheless, the point was to beat the LA team that was playing, unless the Lakers were on the ice it wouldn't much matter as it is irrelevant.

Plenty of folks in LA county don't care for Orange County and vice versa.

It sucked, but I could feel it happening.  I turned to my son, a Kings fan, in the second period and said to him this just smells of a Kings victory because the Ducks keep hitting the post (4 times) and can't get one in.  Quick is a stud, that's the other major concern and why I wanted San Jose.

Another great round of playoffs.

Go B's.
