Stanley Cup Playoffs 2015

Kronwall has been Kronwalled by Player Safety. He will be suspended for Game7. To me this is the equivalent of a 3 game regular season suspension. The league shared my view that he was in the process of jumping and made contact to Kucherov's head with his forearm.

The Kronwall hit does look dirty, I agree.

Now this made me laugh. Silly Islanders, there is no Game 8, get the wrecking ball fired up.

Down go the Rangers, hell of a game.

 

[ssjones]

This is more like it. Holtby's first playoff shutout, nice work!

Looks as though I'll be cheering for the Hawks in the next bracket.

 

[ssjones]

Caps take a 3-1 series lead, who'd have thought it?

I've only caught the last 10 minutes of the last two games, streaming on the laptop, but better than nothing. There are some Ranger fans staying at our hotel, I've had some fun at their expense at the pool. I love talking trash.

The Rangers and Wild are killing my bracket. Had both of them moving on to the Conference Finals.
I'm still alive though, as the Ducks have a 2-1 lead over the Flames and I have them winning it all.

I am an Isles fan through and through, and this was an especially painful last few weeks.
"New York: Go ahead and knock down the Coliseum, you won't be needing it any more."
Yes, because they've moved to Brooklyn! :crying:

 

[warren]

Is there a snowball's chance in hell that I might get to also cheer the Rangers into another another series?

 

[ssjones]

The Caps have lost other 3-1 series leads before....

 

[bookn3rd5]

Hawks are looking pretty good so far

 

[warren]

ssjones: I wish I had taken to heart your pessimism and that I was a betting man. Who'd a thunk it!
It could be an all "Original 6" Stanley Cup!

 

[cortezattic]

'nuff said.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

So, I called 3 of the 4 Conference Finals teams. Dang Hawks beat the Wild, rather swept the Wild. Grrr!
Rangers open the ECF with a win over the Lightning. Hanky's looking good.
Hoping the Ducks can handle the Hawks.

Looks like another battle of the Goalies in the Rangers/Lightening series. They are gong to be worn out by the end of this series, which should benefit the West.

Wife and kids are in NY and they went to the Rangers game yesterday afternoon. They said it was a fantastic game.

 

[ssjones]

The upside of having to say "we'll get'em next year" is - cheap gear. These $50 shirts were $12 today......

 

[bookn3rd5]

Good call weeds. Still early - no reason to panic yet. Should be a good series either way

 

[ssjones]

Wow, didn't see the Hawks going down life that.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

If the Hawks keep over working their top four Dmen this is gonna be one short series.
