Kings take out #1 and #2
Wash takes out Cup Champs
Philly is down 3-1 and their best players seem to be falling apart
Pitts looked like a AHL team
Coyotes are up 3-1

Ilya Kovalchuk is probably going to the ECF
Shane Doan is probably going to the WCF

I just dont fucking get it anymore. I always knew not to take stock in the regular season but this is just fucking silly.

what a crazy playoffs

Parity is truly starting to show, you just can't tell from seeds 1-8 who will be hot (team or goaltender) coming into the final 16 wins.

I really think this is the parity the NHL wanted, it just took this long to kick-in.

if Kings get to final, they could go through seeds #1,2,3,1e
If Rags get there, they could go through #8, 7, 6, 8w

If both happen the Kings will have had an easier time with the 1,2,3 than the Rangers did with the 8,7,6. Go figure.

Weren't the Kings only two points away from being a 3rd seed?!? Couple this with the fact they underachieved for most of the year and you have a team finally realizing their potential. I think they are now 17-3-3 in their last 23 games.

the bold is what its all about ... doughty was doughy, richards was still dabbling in coke, and penner had trouble skating with that maple syrup IV drip attached to him

they were a very popular preseason pick to win the division at the least ... just dig up the preseason picks thread on here for proof of that

It's really very easy. One team tries to hit that little black, frozen thingy in the other teams net with a stick, and the other team tries to stop them from putting the frozen thingy in their net and vise versa.

I hope I helped you understand hockey just a little bit more mattola. You're welcome.

I love doing to a game and hearing a guy try to explain to his kids or non-hockey fan friends about something like icing.

The basic concept is easy enough, but then the "why wasn't that icing?" questions start coming for deflections, could-have-played, penalty kills, etc.

Reminds me of one time I was at a baseball game, and whoever was behind me had friends visiting from Germany with them. He spent the entire game trying to explain the rules, and they were absolutely lost. The foul balls being strikes but not being able to strike out from them seemed to really confuse them.
