2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

[TheCowboy]

All match ups are figured out except for the 8th seed in the West, that will hopefully go to the Stars.

Stars vs. Wild on right now. Win and we play Philthy. GO STARS!

Wait, who do you play???

If we won, then we would have played the Philthadelphia Fliers.

Ah, check again. They are in the Eastern Conference.

IF the Stars won, they would have played Vancouver.

Oh shoot! You're right! LOL My bad. The Stars would have beaten either one of them anyways. ;)

[tomson75]

I don't think fans of division winning teams deserve to be as nervous as I am for the Caps.....much like our our beloved Cowboys, the Caps have a knack for building an intense amount of optimism....only to fail in epic fashion in the postseason.

The Rangers making the 8th seed didn't do anything to ease those feelings either....

Sick of ending the season rooting against the Penguins, rather than FOR the Caps.

Good luck to all of your teams....except against mine. ;)

PREDICTION-

Sabres vs. Canucks

I think Sabres fans are like Eagles fans and it drives me nuts here in NY. I am the only Stars fan in New York. I am almost cornered by Sabres fans. It makes me want to move to Texas even more...

but anyways Canucks win the Cup.

Ryan Miller is a stud though, so I can't really hate on the Sabres.

[Biggems]

Go Pens....I hope Sid is back for the playoffs.

[tomson75]

Caps up 1-0.....better start than last year. Looked pretty good too. Not dominating, but very solid. Need to watch the giveaways in the neutral zone. Rangers are a good team, and won't let you get away with too many sloppy passes before they make you pay.

I like that the Caps are winning the close games....should prove to be valuable experience in these playoffs, as seeds 1-8 are pretty damn tight in the Eastern Conference.

[Joe Realist]

I believe my Flyers will go out in round one. They fell apart the last 20 games of the season.

[fffiasco]

Looking forward to the Kings game tomorrow but dont see us doing much damage against the sharks.

Losing Kopitar was brutal but maybe justin williams can spark something!

[RoyTheHammer]

I believe my Flyers will go out in round one. They fell apart the last 20 games of the season.

Huge Flyers fan here as well. Gotta agree with ya man. They looked abysmal the last stretch of the season, like they've lost all idea of how to play together. I can't wait until Carter and Richards finally grow up and stop acting like morons.

[TheCowboy]

How can you like anything Philthy if you're a Cowboys fan?

[the kid 05]

We will repeat

Agree. I thought last night was the perfect game to play in Game 1. Tight, close game, the team didn't panic or get out of the system and won thanks in part to a dirty garbage goal in close.

Out hit and out shot blocked the Rangers. If the Caps keep hitting like this, the Rangers will be worn out by Game 3

[RoyTheHammer]

How can you like anything Philthy if you're a Cowboys fan?

I see you live in New York.. are you a Mavs, Rangers, and Stars fan too?

[TheCowboy]

I see you live in New York.. are you a Mavs, Rangers, and Stars fan too?
Actually yes I am. I am a future Texan living in New York.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

CapitalFan must have had a strange sense of deja vu last night as for the second straight year an 8 seed took them to OT in game one. This year they won.

For me the only series that counts is Canadiens-Bruins. I live in Vancouver so the faster the Canucks go out the better for me but they will probably last a couple of rounds and the people around will make my life miserable. They are having jersey day tomorrow and allegedly only Canuck jerseys can be worn.

I told our COO what will you do if I wear my Canadiens' one?

[RoyTheHammer]

Actually yes I am. I am a future Texan living in New York.

Ok bud.. you kinda missed the point there though. :D

[TheCowboy]

Hush! :D



Flyers Stink..:eek::cool::rolleyes:

[RoyTheHammer]

Hush! :D



Flyers Stink..:eek::cool::rolleyes:

Can't argue with ya there the last 20 games or so. I hope they wake up in time for the playoffs. They were the best team in the Eastern Conference through 3/4ths of the season. Unreal how they just start trying to coast. Time to ramp it up!

Ryan Miller was simply a beast tonight.

I also have never seen such a lack of urgency that the Flyers displayed in the final 3 minutes of the game.

MTL looks back to the 2010 playoff form. I still think Halak>Price though

Eh. Miller played a fine game, but the Flyers also blew a couple pretty good chances. They let this one slip away, like you said, with a lack of urgency.

I'm just going to say that if we lose this series, i'd seriously start considering moving Richards and/or Carter. Im sick of the party all night crew and how it always seems to transfer over to their lack of hustle on the ice. Carter in particular can GTHO. I've never seen a more talented player care any less than he does most nights.

They are not moving Carter. He just got a big contract extension. Maybe he is mad because Ryan Howard is engaged to his former girlfriend.

The Canucks are playing on another level this year.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Halak is not > Price. Price is by far the better goalie. We made the right choice.

[RoyTheHammer]

Miller played fairly well last game.. but the Flyers are just getting screwed out of this series with some of these penalty calls man. Im not one to usually complain about officiating, but a 5 minute major for putting your arm up when someone is taking a run at you, and double roughing minors when you're getting cross checked in the back 6 times in a row while your facedown and helpless on the ice.. and getting cross checked in the back and punched in the face with a cheap shot from the goalie? Unreal.

[Biggems]

Im a true Texan, but I hate the Stars...who btw are not a true Texas team. My team is the Pittsburgh Penguins and has been since the mid-late 80s.

All my other teams are Texas though...but then again, I am San Antonio, born and raised....San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, Texas Longhorns TAMU-CC Islanders, and Judson Rockets.

In fact, three of my favorite wrestlers are from Texas....Stone Cold Steve Austin (Victoria), HBK (San Antonio), and The Undertaker (Houston area I believe).

GO PENS....up 3-1...let's bring it back to Pittsburgh and close this son of a gun out.....

[Vtwin]

Bruins showing some heart coming back from down two games and down 2 goals in a must win game 4. Winning last night's thriller was huge.

Bruins Canadians, best rivalry in sports.

That game was pretty epic. Thomas' save in the 2nd overtime was one to remember.

[Biggems]

i missed the first 4 games of the playoffs and so I was super stoked to sit down and watch my Pens play yesterday....and then the Pens neglected to show up for the game.....and I have still yet to see the Pens play...

what a disgusting embarrassment that was....8-2, really?

At least they are up 3-2 and have 2 games to close this out....also, they are 2-0 in Tampa and only 1-2 in Pittsburgh....game 6 is in Tampa

Haven't seen much of them, usually catch a Preds game on TV here, and they've just won their series so good for them. First time they've advanced...ever. But, I'm still gonna root for the Pens.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

That game was pretty epic. Thomas' save in the 2nd overtime was one to remember.

Gionta shot it right at him. If he hits it straight, it's in but he angled it and it went right into Thomas. Great save but not as great as some you see.

Canadiens were 5-1 in elimination games last playoff, hopefully they can pull out another two this year.

Canucks are choking big time and that puts a smile on my face to say the least.

It seems as though the Hockey gods are making them (the Habs) pay for all the diving they do. :p:

[CanadianCowboysFan]

It seems as though the Hockey gods are making them (the Habs) pay for all the diving they do. :p:

oh please, they don't dive anymore than marchand, Bergeron, Recchi, Krecji etc

We just don't have whiner broadcasters like Jack Edwards complaining about it all the time like the Bruins do.

[Aikmaniac]

Go BOLTS!

Evened it up tonight. Vinny and the boys head back to Pitts to close it out.

[Vtwin]

oh please, they don't dive anymore than marchand, Bergeron, Recchi, Krecji etc

:lmao:

Bob Cole says hello. :lmao2:

Glen Healy would too but he can't hear with his head stuck up Cole's arse.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

so when has Bob Cole complained about diving?

[TheCowboy]

Sabres vs Flyers will be epic tonight. I hope Buffalo wins cause I hate Philly, but then I hope Buffalo loses in the next round so it can make everyone here sad. :laugh2:

[Vtwin]

Are you saying that Cole is not a homer who whines when things don't go the Canadian team's way? Have you been watching any of this series on CBC? It's embarrasing.

Sure Edwards is a homer. He does the pbp for the local Boston TV station. He is supposed to be a homer. Cole and Healy are on the national network. Edwards always calls the plays that go against the Bruins with the same excitement he calls the plays that go the Bruins way. Cole and Healey... not so much.

Are you also saying the the Habs don't have a rep for embellishing to get the call? Really? I didn't think anyone outside of Quebec would try and sell that.

Recchi a diver? Bergeron? LOL Dude, come on man. Pay attention.

Don't make me call 911 on you! :lmao: :lmao2: :laugh1:

[Vtwin]

LOL!!!

Spacek turns into the glass just before the hit and falls like he's been shot. Lays there for a few minutes, gets helped off the ice hunched over and holding his face. Misses one shift and the Bruins get a five minute major and lose their top line winger for the game. Classic Habs right there.

Then the Carey Price dive. Doesn't even get touched but falls like he was slewfooted and the ref standing a hundred feet away calls the goaltender interference.

They are the epitomy of classlesness. They know they can't match up five on five so whatever it takes to get the power play.

Would you teach your kids to play like that?

[RoyTheHammer]

FLYERS Baby!!

Sent that pack of wanabe tough guys home. They tried to match up physically with the Flyers and they got crushed. Now Lindy can whine all she wants in the offseason..

[CanadianCowboysFan]

LOL!!!

blah, blah, blah, Spacek had his head driven into the glass by Quasimodo and was bleeding from the temple, but I guess he faked that too right?

The call on Price was from the ref right behind the net. Of course I am sure Edwards and the bum Brickley saw it differently.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

BTW, the Canadiens consulted with Dr Recchi and he cleared Spacek to return.

[RoyTheHammer]

How's that clown PK doin?

[CanadianCowboysFan]

How's that clown PK doin?

Im sure all 29 other GMs would trade for him.

He has skill for sure, he's just a punk. Hope the Habs win so the Flyers can beat up on them some more.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

how is he more of a punk than Briere, Richards, Hartnell etc?

I watched the game. I see things myself and don't rely on what the broadcasters have to say.

Did you expect Spacek to be back at all after his dramatics on the ice? Sure looked like he was done the way he just lay there squirming then had to be helped off the ice. Poor little fella couldn't even stand up straight.

How many shifts did he miss again? lol

Serious question.

A. Do you think Price tried to sell that call?

B. Do you think that was really intereference?


This game should be watched by all NHL officials. Remember the Horton breakaway that was nullified by his slashing penalty? A "slash" that happens a hundred times a game every game. Did you see the pass that Bergeron made to get that going? Did you see Bergeron getting mauled as he was making the pass?

That right there is the difference between hockey players and punks. Bergereon fought through it to try and make the play. If that had been a Hab he would have fallen down trying to draw the call instead.

Geeze man... even the Habs fans on the hockey forum admit they dive because, and I quote, "embellishment has become an intergral part of the game".

Maybe in Montreal it has but the rest of the league sees it for the bush league crap that it is. :D

[Vtwin]

How's that clown PK doin?

Subban?

Well he has continued his style of cheapshotting when he can but avoiding answering for it by hiding from Lucic or Thornton.

Perfect replacement for Komisarik.

[RoyTheHammer]

how is he more of a punk than Briere, Richards, Hartnell etc?

Hartnell is an instigator, but how exactly is Briere a "punk" in your mind?

[RoyTheHammer]

Subban?

Sounds about how i remember him. Ha.

[Vtwin]

He's not. They are all cowardly punks. Hartnell will at least fight when he has no other choice though.

[RoyTheHammer]

Again, how is Briere a punk? Please explain that one, lol.

I mighta got a bit carried away on that one. Briere is a good one. I just hate the Flyers and am getting pumped up for the game seven tonight against the scabs.

Hopefully the Bruins will get a chance to avenge last years second round debacle against youse guys!

[Vtwin]

BTW, the Canadiens consulted with Dr Recchi and he cleared Spacek to return.

How is Paccioretty doing?

Are they thinking about dropping the attempted murder charges? :laugh2:

lol.. its cool. You'd be the first person i ever heard call him a punk, besides some of the sabers apparently, and he took it to their arses for it.

Hartnell is an instigator for sure, so i can see how people wouldn't like him, and even Richards as well.

I'd be happy with the Flyers playing either of the two teams, but i prefer the Canadians because they have another group of whiners like the Sabers and i'd be very happy to beat the crap outta them again haha.

[Aikmaniac]

Looks like the Bolts are quietly moving to the next round. Bring on the Caps!

[Joe Realist]

Bruins vs. Flyers
Lightning vs. Capitals

Predators vs. Canucks
Sharks vs. Red Wings

[Biggems]

oh well hockey season is over....time to look to next season.....Crosby and Malkin will be back.....at least the young guys got some playoff experience and really played hard. I am proud of my Pens, even though they blew a 3-1 lead. Aside from the game 5 massacre, they attacked at will....the Lightning goalie was just that darn good this series....he was a wall, especially in game 7.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Didn't expect the Penguins to lose three in a row to lose the series.

Was a sad ending for my Habs but after playing the entire season without our top player, no surprise it ended that way.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

How is Paccioretty doing?

I'm not laughing at Max. I'm laughing at the idiot fans who flooded the Montreal 911 system to report the attempted murder. I'm laughing at the Montreal police for reporting the investigation was ongoing. I'm laughing at major Canadian corporations like Air Canada whining publicly about it. The Habs and their fans are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the league. They seem to relish it?

Best wishes to Max. I hope he is back in business for the opener next year.

Did you think of me when the Bruins scored their third goal while Halperin was in the room after trying to sell a penalty by running into Ferrance and Hamerlik was flopping around against the boards try to draw the call?

:laugh1: In the end their bush league antics cost them the game.

Oh and... Marc Savard says hello. ;)

[SkinsHokieFan]

Briere has a reputation as a punk because he was one in Buffalo. He still is but now has guys like Richards, Pronger and Hartnell to do his dirty work.

Early picks- Bruins in 7, Caps in 6, Red Wings in 5, Vancouver in 7

Again, Hartnell i'll give you.. even Richards to an extent. Briere? No lol.

Pronger is an enforcer. He doesn't need to take cheap shots, he just buries you. Same with O'Donnell and to a lesser extent, Meszaros.

None of that would have happened if Gregory's dad had just given Chara a one game suspension. We all know the history between Max and Lurch, he pushed him right into the stancion. One game would have calmed the situation but given Gregory is on the Bruins, no way was daddy going to suspend the best player on his son's team.

WOW! You fit the stereotype of the typical habs fan to a T. The "history" is a figment of the imagine of delusional habs fans. I was at the game where the "history" started. Sitting right above the corner where Max cheapshotted Chara AFTER the game ended. Chara gave him a shove and that was about it.

You do know that Colin Campbell does not get involved in issues involving the Bruins because of the conflict of interest, don't you?

This is exactly why the hockey world can't stand the habs. Bunch of whiney pansys who thinks the rest of the league should stand aside and give the LEGENDARY Montreal Canadians was its rightfully theirs! LOL

Good luck with that and good luck on the back nine! :lmao2:

A nudge on a 6'9 inch player is hardly a cheapshot

Anyway, gotta love BruinFan yapping about golf (1972 4 Ever.)

Campbell is Murphy's boss, do you honestly think Murphy will do anything that might upset Greg's dad? Please, stop listening to Jack Edwards, he is clouding your mind.

BTW, spell the team's name correct, it's CanadiEns, not CanadiAns.

Same old same old. :lmao2:

Living in the past. Ignoring reality. Blaming everyone else. Obsession with irrelevant subjects to dull the sting.

This right here ladies and gentleman is a classic example of a typical Candians fan. They boo specific players of the opposition everytime they touch the puck. They boo their own players for having a bad game.

They riot in the streets, looting and overturning cars after winning a FIRST ROUND playoff series.
They are the Eagles fans of the NHL. :laugh2:

I'm hoping for a Tampa Boston ECF.

Tim Thomas and Martin St Louis played together here in Vermont and took UVM to the NCAA finals. Hard to find anything to hate about Tampa.

Great to see them doing so well.

That would be great to see.

Either Boston or Philly is going to be a tough matchup. The Lightning is playing with a lot of speed right now, however I'd like to see the defense tighten up. If it wasn't for Roly, we would've been out of the playoffs early.

The Bruins have trouble with speed. They were pretty passive against the Habs not wanting to get burned by the speed of the Habs forwards. They are playing MUCH more aggressively against the Flyers, pinching hard on defense to keep the pressure on because they dont fear their speed on the breakout as much as the Habs.

Long way to go in this series and if the Bruins win tonight and go up 3-0 the Flyers will say they have us right where they want us after last years debacle.

Yeah....Tampa beat the hell out of my Caps in game 4 ....sadly, it was not much of a surprise. Unfortunately, my Caps and my Cowboys have been mimicking one another in terms of underachieving the last few years.

NHL is not like the NBA. They won't start that series until all other series are over.

Thanks.

I guess the Bolts could be waiting for a while then.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Not necessarily. All series could be over by tomorrow night.

Probably then start next Wed or Thurs.

[Vtwin]

Yeah....Tampa beat the hell out of my Caps in game 4 ....sadly, it was not much of a surprise. Unfortunately, my Caps and my Cowboys have been mimicking one another in terms of underachieving the last few years.

You staying dry up there Vtwin? I'm seeing Champlain and its tribs are at a historical high. Looks like most people need boats to get to their docks. :D

I'm high and dry but it's pretty serious around the lake. Level was over 103' yesterday. Two feet over what is considered flood stage. Millions in damage. A lot of people need boats to get to their homes.

It made me sick to see my Pens blow a 3-1 lead to TB...but it was great to see TB sweep the Caps....it helped to make the Pittsburgh choke job sting a little less. It was also great to see Boston beat Philly. Now the only team left that I hate is Detwaw. I hope the Sharks can close them out tonight.

Yeah...just got an email from a friend up there. I had no idea the extent the flooding had reached....didn't mean to come across as obtuse. I hope they'll be some intervention/compensation from the government for those people effected.

Hope you guys dry out soon.

Bruins vs Canucks for the cup.

What a game 7 last night. 1-0 with no penalties called.

The Bruins have been similar to the Cowboys with their "recent" history of disappointment and underachievement. Last appearance in the finals was in 1990. Head coach and GM who it seems the majority of the fan base have/had no confidence in. A couple high profile players who had the reputation of not getting it done when it mattered most.

All that is history and they have fought their way to an opportunity to hoist the hardest trophy on the planet to win.

Let's go BRUINS!!!

I didn't take it as obtuse. It's tough to complain when parts of the rest of the county have FAR bigger problems then we do. It's still bad here though. Keeps on raining and the lake is still well over 102 feet. Most of the state parks and marinas around the lake can't open. Tough year for those that depend on the tourists.

Hope your place is high and dry.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I hate both teams in the Final but a Vancouver win pretty much ruins my summer and next few years when my Canadiens pay Vancouver a visit, all I would hear is, hahahaha we have a cup and you don't so go Bruins

[Joe Realist]

Rough and tumble game 4. Boston wins Game 3 and 4 by combined score of 12-1.

Glad the series turned around....people were ready to hand it to Vancouver a few weeks ago.

[Vtwin]

This is something to watch, Nobody gave the Bruins a chance against the mighty Canucks. A couple bounces in the first two games and this could have been over last night. The mighty Canucks offense has scored 4 goals in regulation time in 4 games.

How can you not love Tim Thomas!

The Bruins are in the Canucks heads bigtime.

[Vtwin]

If youve never watched and NHL game in your life give tonight's game 7 a few minutes.

Most exciting moments in sports.

[Joe Realist]

Congrats to the Bruins. What a way to go out Mark Recchi. 43 years old and retires a winner.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Downtown Vancouver is war zone.

[Sam I Am]

Downtown Vancouver is war zone.

They should kill all Canadians. ;)

[DanteEXT]

I thought rioting was reserved for the fans of the winning team?

Maybe, but I think it's more appropriate for the losing team. :laugh2:

Search "Canucks fan", "flashbang", and "crotch".

Silly *** canadians.

[TheCowboy]

Congrats to Boston! I wanted them to win. Next year the Stars will win it!

[DanteEXT]

Maybe, but I think it's more appropriate for the losing team. :laugh2:

yes, it does seem to be more appropriate for the losing team. Unless you call it celebratory rioting for the winning team.

It's Canada. Did you expect them to get it right?

One guy pulled a Tomson75 and jumped into a burning car.

Well I am a Firefighter....so yeah, you're right....for once. :rolleyes:

Once again....Canadian failure. It's an epidemic....or maybe just genealogic.

[Vtwin]

The Montreal fans riot win or lose. Doesn't even have to be the finals. They rioted after beating the Bruins in the first round a few years ago.

just shows you don't have to be smart to be a firefighter, just a knuckledragger like you Dumson

[CanadianCowboysFan]

It was stupid to have a fan site downtown. Boston was smart, they knew their fans would go nuts so no tv watching downtown.

[tomson75]

That's almost as clever as the last time you said it. Almost.

Just because your wife wears the pants in your family, it doesn't mean every man that works with a set of stones is a "dumb *** knuckledragger". Assumptions like that might get your little canadian butt kicked some day.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Brad Marchand of Boston is STILL pummeling Daniel Sedin

:laugh2:

The only reason Sedin didn't flop is because Marchand is holdiing him up.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I knew the second that happened that Boston would win game 7. Even though Sedin is a big *****, (hell even Dumson75 could take him), and isn't a fighter, he had to punch back then.

Interesting though that in the end Marchand is hated as much as Subban but the press is not ripping him for being disrespectful to veterans. I guess it really was a black thing with Subban.

[Vtwin]

In the end Boston showed Vancouver how to do it on the ice and in the streets!

18 years since a Canadian team won the Cup.........

Canadian based, the Bruins had more Canadians on the team than Vancouver.

Boston learned from previous riots in the last few years not to allow big tvs in city streets, not let people congregate etc

I was there. The city was PACKED. There were congregations of people everywhere you went. My hand still hurts from high fiving a few hundred new friends. Tens of thousands at the Commons, at the Garden at Copley Square, everywhere.

It had nothing to do with the planning and everything to do with the fans who were there.

That was one hell of a party!

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Are you discussing the parade or showing the game?

[Vtwin]

Are you discussing the parade or showing the game?

LOL

1.5 million people congregated is 1.5 million people congregated. What's your point?

[CanadianCowboysFan]

You said you were there and nothing happened. Parades usually don't end in riots, the riots usually happen on game night/day.

Boston specifically didn't allow people to congregate downtown on the night of game 7 for fear of a riot.

Vancouver was stupid thinking the Olympic experience would carry over to the club team and allowed people to congregate to watch the game. By the time it was clear Colin's son team would win, bottles were being thrown at the tv screens etc

We don't know what would have happened in Boston which has a history of rioting dating back to the 1770s :cool: would have done had there been crowds out watching the game last week.

Do you seriously believe that Boston was not wall to wall people on the night of game 7? Seriously? :lmao2: :lmao:


I'll leave you to your conspiracy theories of racism and nepotism.

Here is a little something that maybe will make you smile as I leave to revel in the championship victory of my favorite hockey team.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I wanted Bruins to win because I wanted Canucks to lose. The good news was the Canucks lost, the bad news it was to the Bruins.

There is definite racism in the NHL. Marchand is lauded for his disrespectful actions toward vets, Subban is treated like a leper.

As for nepotism, Bruin players broke a guy's neck and another's back this year and weren't suspended. Horton had his bell rung and Rome was out the rest of the series. Things that make you go mmmmm

Bruin players said Pacioretty embellished and faked because he was tweeting three days after his was almost decapitated by Chara yet there was Horton who also suffered a severe concussion at the rink two days later yet he wasn't embellishing. Go figure.
