Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
Who would've thought the Bruins/Caps series would be by far the lowest-scoring?

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
With the Sens win, I think each series in the East is now going at least six. I can't remember the last time that each series has been so evenly matched after two games. The West too. I would be pleasantly floored if the Kings swept or handled the Canucks in five. Maybe if the Canucks keep shooting themselves in the foot that'll happen, but you've got to think they're at least good for two if not to just come back and win the series.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
I don't think the Devils/Panthers series is going six.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
The Canucks have played like horseshit most of the year. I don't see them getting swept although I'm sure many are clamoring for this result. I still think this series is not over by any means and I feel that it will go the distance. Canucks like to play when the chips are down.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
Jesus, did Philly and Pittsburgh both forget how to play defense?

Like hockey more than any other sport...and I don't even care about the Caps this year?
What a disappointment.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
The Pens allowed themselves to be rattled by Philly. What a waste. You'd think this team got into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth, not on top of their second best season ever and a big winning streak late in the season.
If they really got their shit together, I could see them mount a comeback. But so many things have to be just right. Ain't gonna happen.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
They started out so slow, no fire, no energy. If that Franzen goal would've counted, the Wings win. Tons of missed chances, tons of shots, but hardly any good ones. But Datsyuk is a magician.

I'm the only one without Vancouver or Pitt in my finals.
SUCK IT.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
And yet neither are trailing 3-0 like your picks.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
Can't remember liking the start of a playoffs this much
I think Vancouver has a wayyyy better chance of turning this around than Pitt. Pitt look mentally unravelled and their defense is pure garbage. With Van it's plausible that they let in 0 or 1 goal each of the next 2 games and then it's 3-2 with the Kings being rattled
St. Louis looks like the best team so far to me. Should be 3-0 in that series, I thought they dominated the first OT in the game the Sharks won. STL is killing them in puck possession. SJ might be better finishers than them but they don't have a chance if STL continues to dominate them in that area.
Ottawa is a lot better than I thought. Hard to believe the Rangers had to steal a game from THEM.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
Don't get fooled, the Blues are good... but they dominated the Sharks all year. This is no surprise.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
Seriously though. I watch enough hockey to see teams score easily all the time, yet it seems like the Wings have to grind for any chance at a goal. It makes no fucking sense. Rinne is not that good, he's just huge.

You'd never know Detroit won 23 straight at home this season.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
9-3 after two periods. I've seen the Pens blow massive leads, so I'm not counting anyone out yet.

Re: NHL 2011-12 Season
It gives me so much satisfaction that A. Philly thought they had it when they were up 3-2 and B. they thought they would sweep the series.
I'm not stupid, I know three more wins is a lot, but it gives me pleasure knowing the Pens took some wind out of Philly tonight.
