Ongoing NHL Thread

Either match up has a good story behind it. Rangers/Flyers with the hate between the those teams and being rivals. The new and on the rise rivalry between the Rangers/Jackets, not to mention the two big trades the teams made to shape one-anothers team. Both match ups will be great.

i think for the ratings rangers/flyers are sexier, but for the story I believe the nash one way better. one thing is for sure either the jackets or nash will finally see the 2nd round of the playoffs if they meet.

I'm excited either way! I've never been this confident about a Rangers team in a while. They did a completele turn around from the beginning of the season and climbed our way to 2nd in the Metro and only 3 less ROW's than Pittsburgh. Pretty damn impressive after out shit start.

Much appreciated!

I'm perfectly okay with teams wanting to play the Pens. I'm always more comfortable being underestimated...sure is better than being the favorite.

The last time the Avalanche had 52 wins in the regular season was 2001 and they went on to win the Stanley Cup. That team included:
Sakic
Forsberg
Hedjuk
Tanguay
Drury
Deadmarsh
Bourque
Foote
Blake
Roy

The 2013-14 team doesn't have near that kind of firepower, but holy shit have they played well this season. Hopefully they ain't peaking too soon and can keep this up in the playoffs to make a deep run.

Tsk, tsk, you left out Martin Skoula

I'm with you...cuz that would mean we both would have made it to the SCF.

Didn't forget him. Our entire group of D-men were outstanding. Skoula, DeVries, Jon Klemm Aaron Miller.

Plus Yelle and Dan Hinote. El Diablo, Scott Parker was a beast of a goon as well.

Medvedev: Ovechkin can join KHL if he gets out of NHL contract

 

[Cobiemonster]

Tomas Hertl back in the lineup tonight

WOW. I'd hate to see Ovie go.

 

[Slimpikins]

Sharks could use the depth. If they can get Torres back as well they will have a full roster for the playoffs. The big question will be if they be able to get up to game speed during the first round.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

WOW. I'd hate to see Ovie go.

So would the Caps. LOL!!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

So would the Caps. LOL!!

That franchise would be destroyed and devastated.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Nah, losing Kovy didn't destroy the Devils. The Caps would save a lot of money & end up signing a bunch of UFA's.

well its nice to see the KHL stick by a legally binding contract.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Kovy got out of his. There's no reason to think other Russian players can't get out of theirs as well. I doubt it happens, but you never know. Ovechkin has to be frustrated with the teams situation after scoring 50 goals & missing the playoffs.

I really didnt think I needed a sarcasm tag

and if he wants to be frustrated at anything he can start with his own +/- of -36. for 50 goals and 27 of those even strength that is some awful, not Alex Edler awful but pretty bad
