2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

IT'S HOCKEY TIME, BITCHES.

The fastest team sport on the planet kicks into overdrive as the world's best hockey warriors shoot goals and crush bodies in conquest for the sport world's most (or at least second most) coveted trophy.

16 teams enter, but only one leaves with Lord Stanley's cup.

Discuss the action in this thread as your favorite team lays waste to, or is laid to waste by their cheap-trickin, bullshit goal scoring, less attractive opponents.


Skaters gonna skate.

Jannik mother fuckin Hansen.

Take that Shit-Cago

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Vancouver and Washington look strong so far. If the Flyers don't win tonight versus the Sabres then I'm not sure they'll be able to turn the light switch on in time. It's such a shame too with the good year that they had after making the Finals last year.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Hansen took that one penalty, but it was in exuberance.

I'm really really really looking forward to a series sweep. Tonight's game is gonna be tough, back in a pissed off Chicago.

Henrik with the hattrick. Less passing more shoot

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

You have to admit though, Hansen doesnt get nearly enough credit for all he supplies the team. Plus 2 games, 2 goals.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

agreed. The league needs speed. He's got development years still and more minutes to look forward to. If he had Welwood's hands ... ;)

Raymond's been good defensively so far tonight
shiiiiit 2-2 this is adrenal

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Wooooooo!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

A) The Stanley Cup by far is the best sports trophy. Hands down, no argument even needed.

B) I'm excited for the rest of the playoffs this year for the sole reason that I cheer for the team with the best statistic records, and the fact that none of the other teams in the playoffs even come close to comparing.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Alright, Flyers up 2-1 in the series. If we had lost this series I would not have been surprised despite a great regular season. They just didn't seem to have it this season. However, they've looked better, despite not having a number 1 goalie (as always). I think they'll beat the Sabres and we'll see who is next.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

What would be the ideal final with the teams that are in the playoffs?

Even though I'm a Flyers fan the first matchup that comes to mind is Montreal vs. Vancouver. I just think it would be good for Canada to have a matchup since they haven't won the cup since 1993.

I would have liked to have seen a rematch of the Flyers vs. the Blackhawks, but that isn't likely to happen. Maybe a Flyers vs. Canucks matchup would be good since both teams dominated their conference throughout the season disregarding that the Flyers decided to take a nap at the end haha. I know that both teams are the best represented at this forum too.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

I think any good combination would include one of the following:

Vancouver.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

:(

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

And that's why it's a best of seven series.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

The Canucks have lost the last two games, and there is so much room on this bandwagon now. So many broken ankles.

Many fans don't seem to realize a few things, such as:

A) The Canucks won the first 3, so even though they've lost the last 2, they're still up 3-2 in the series. Great position to be in.

B) The Hawks are the Stanley Cup Champions, you'd be retarded to think it'd be easy to get them out of the playoffs.

C) The Canucks still have 1 mulligan left before they actually have to show up and play.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Flyers force game 7. I can't believe the goalie issues they're having right now. Hopefully Bobrovsky will be the future of the team.


And WOW, the Blackhawks just tied the series with the Canucks. This could be another comeback like last year with the Flyers against the Bruins.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Let's hope not. The reffing in the third got really weird with Chicago getting a pass on about 5 different penalties. Oh well!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Examples of the bullshit reffing in the last game.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Fuck the Shithawks.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Woo! Flyers dominate game 7 to pull off that series despite starting 3 goalies. They were too good of an overall team to lose that series, though they probably should have. Goaltending is still a concern, though they beat Ryan Miller despite that, so we'll see who the Flyers get in round 2.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

OVERTIME!!??!?!?!?!?

MY HEART CANNOT TAKE THIS!!!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Burrows is the man.

Is Selanne out injured? I prefer facing Anaheim, Nashville seems to 'get' the nucks.

Perfect close up slapper

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Oh dang, Boston vs. Philly again. I wonder if the Bruins can keep their shit together this time around.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Obviously this time I don't see the Flyers going down 3-0 to Boston. If the Flyers had a great goalie I'd be totally confident they'd win easily. Since they don't, I still think they'll win the series, but it won't be easy. Always how it will be until they ever get a "real" goalie. Maybe Bobrovsky is eventually the guy, I dunno.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Keith Ballard! That drive into the zone, going after the rebound, it's the kind of play that should see Rome and Alberts playing only in case of injury.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

If that shot went in, it would have been legendary replay material for the rest of the playoffs.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

I thought that hip check on Tootoo was nice and legal. WTF Refs?!?!?!?!?!?!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

The color of those Nashville shirts was atrocious.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Nashville plays such a boring type of trap hockey

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Damn Flyers better pull it together tonight. I just don't see another 3-0 comeback in the cards. 2-0 after losing both at home is bad enough.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Their Goaltending is really what's caving them in. They should just stick with one guy, and give him the confidence of carrying a team, rather than "Well, if you play like shit, we have 2 other equally [or more] qualified dudes to kick you to the press box."

I personally hope that Philly can pull it out, because I don't mind them. Plus I picked them from a hat to win out of the East. So I've got to stick with something as tangible as that.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Yikes. Terrible game. Bad goaltending yet again. Rough.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Good-bye Washington!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Talk about blowing a game open... sheesh.

Also, is it just me or are the Sharks' players assholes?

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Somebody please tell me you saw that chick flash her boobs to Ben Eager in the sin bin?!

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

no!! Damn

How the hell does one score a goal and get goalie interference at the same time? stupid

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Im sure you can find it on the internet someplace. I've seen it posted on facebook twice already.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Me and Dylan did. We re-watched it about 4 times. That chick had a great pair of tits. Definitely in the top 10 (or top 20?) of "random flashed tits" that I've seen. Plus I'm a fan of the dual piercings.

Oh, the game was great, too.

Re: 2011 NHL PLAYOFFS
 

Tool.
