NHL Hockey is Back! Official 2020 Playoff Thread

Defending champs out? Canucks move through?

 

[ssjones]

So, who is in the final?

I say Av's vs. Flyers

 

[brandaves]

Has everyone lost interest with their teams out?

Who is everyone rooting for now? My Canucks are hanging in with Vegas. Game 1 was rough but an excellent response last night. If we can keep the intensity up then we've got a shot!

 

[ssjones]

Wow, some bad hockey today. How can we have this many goal swings? Flyers got blanked today. What happened to all the OT games? Doesn't bode well for the upcoming. I guess life in the bubble after a month now is having an effect. Watching a Boston beat-down this evening, ready to turn it off after 6-1 in the 2nd.

Guilty as charged.

A good a guess as any with how this year has went

 

[brandaves]

I understand the hiatus but I'm wishing I were watching hockey right now!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, just when I was getting used to two high octane games a day!

 

[ssjones]

I need a break and it looks like the players do as well. Hopefully, the close level of competition returns Saturday.

I’d love to see Tampa VGK, or Canucks Islanders. But my spidey senses say Avs and Tampa.

 

[mikethompson]

Flyers still alive, Canucks win.

 

[ssjones]

Flyers/Islanders wasn't a bad game. A few injuries, Couterie left the game, not sure he returned.

 

[brandaves]

Hanging in there. San Jose came back on VGK last year down 3-1. They are going to have get more shots on goal in games 6 and 7 if they want to get there.

 

[mikethompson]

Its not impossible to come back from 3-1.

It's been done more in hockey then any other sport...We can do it!

OK, who is "we"? A Kentucky resident doesn't have a local choice at this point, does he?

Nor does this N CA resident, but as I lived in Manhattan, the Isles have my best wishes, as do the Canucks, and as did the late Bruins.

My family moved to Washington State when I was in high school and I went to college in Northern Washington state where I became a Vancouver Canucks fan. I'm in the military so I move around a lot...so I'm currently in Kentucky but might be on the other side of the world next year.

I've been a Washington sports fan since I was 14. Mariners, Seahawks and since we didn't have hockey in the state at the time I latched onto the Canucks. It's been a rough existence mostly but I don't go in for the bandwagon thing...I won't take on the Kraken as my favorite NHL team, I'm too invested in my Canucks.

 

[brandaves]

Canucks force game 7!!! Woot!

 

[ssjones]

Flyers also force Game 7 in a Double-Overtime win. I'd like to see Trots get knocked out...

 

[jpmcwjr]

Even though "my team" lost, that was one of the best games in ages. Whoa!
Two 7th games upcoming!

 

[brandaves]

Well thats all she wrote for my Canucks. I was hoping for some playoff magic but alas, VGK pulls it out.

I'm very proud of my guys...and more than a little drunk ?

I hope VGK gets smoked. They have a spoiled fan base who expects to win the Stanley Cup every year. As a fan of the only Canadian team who hasn't won a cup EEEEFFFFF them.

Okay, I'm done being angry...GO DALLAS!
