2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

hahaha the Nucks are Luon-GONE!!

So much for that much anticipated Pens/Nucks final!
I would have hated to see that.

Philly's chances are decent but inconsistent goaltending is going to be there downfall.
I hope the Rangers, and I hope the B's can pull out a game 7 win.

My hope is now for a New Jersey/Phoenix final (If NJ gets eliminated, I want a Ottawa/Phoenix final)

my god I was stressed tonight, overtime in an elimination game is intense.

Game 7 Thursday

yeah should be an exciting game along with the NYC/OTT game.

Caps sent the Goouins' to golf season with a o/t win.

Only two more series left to setup the 2nd round match ups.

Sad today!

If Ottawa and NJ win today, all of the top seeds in the east will be elminated in the 1st round!

Out west, the only top seed to go down was the Canucks.. .

Interesting that Washington finally broke through when people finally wrote them off. All 12 "experts" on ESPN picked the Bruins to win the series (although 10 of 12 also picked the Penguins, so they're not doing well anywhere. Only 1 picked the Senators and 3 picked Florida, making it possible they totally wiffed on the entire Conference)

I added the 1 vote for Phoenix to win the Stanley Cup. My heart got broken a few night ago, when a team out of the Arizona desert eliminated the Blackhawks - still trying to figure that one out. For whatever reason, Phoenix looked so much more disciplined than the Blackhawks on the ice. So now that the Blackhawks are out, they might as well go out to the best team in the league. (Plus, my manager's cousin dates Taylor Pyatt, so I guess there is that.)

There were some vicious hits in that series!

There was a go number of hits in this series. Hossa, literally got knocked out by Torres. The rest of the series was filled with retaliation. But there were some good flops in here to (see Mike Smith). But darn it, if he didn't play lights out the entire series. It was as if if fortified the net somehow.

NJ WON FoG! Congrats. Lucky goal though... Florida was coming on strong in the 3rd and the O/T periods.

To the 2nd round we go.

I actually mostly lost my voice today, had to go to work and could barely talk to customers

Apparently roughly 84 minutes of yelling at the TV and erupting with joy at the end isn't good for your throat

yupp, Smith stole them another win, thing is if he keeps doing that they might get to the conference finals

My picks:
Philadelphia ()/Washington/St Louis/Nashville

I dunno about Philly... goaltending is way to inconsistent and IMO weak. Right from the get go I thought the Bryzgalov signing was a bad move. We got to see plenty of him when he played out west and I never thought he was all that great let alone giving him that huge contract. They are a really good team though otherwise. Imagine Pronger was in the lineup... they would be scary good at that point. If they could get Pronger back and actually have a good consistent goalie in net Im sure they could actually would win a cup. They only fell slightly short to Chicago a few years ago although this is a different team without Carter and Richards.


Time shall tell. This year we are in new waters with the usual suspects not being in the 2nd round with the exception of a few. Who knows who's going to the finals. I mean who predicted no Vancouver, Detroit, Chicago or San Jose in the 2nd round in the west. No one.

[FanOfGaming]

Very surprised Predators and Blues are both down 2-0

Big win tonight for NJ!

The East is looking a lot tighter then the West at this point

[Sixteenvolt420]

If there's one team that i hope doesn't win it, it's washington. I just plain hate ovechkin.

[FanOfGaming]

Great effort by the Devils that series, even I didn't expect them to handle Philly (and in 5 games at that )

Who would have thought Los Angeles, Phoenix and New Jersey would be 3 of the top 4 teams in the league (and Washington too if they can come back )

That's what's great about sports
