    Feel bad for Zucc, never want to see a guy go out taking a slap shot to the noggin like that. The Klein injury was weird too cause it was on a random long range slapper that just hit him in a real bad spot. I'm praying we get a split, although already writing off Game 2. 12:30 start means...

    You know NBC is pining for Rags/Blackhawks final. I think worst match up in their mind would be Tampa/Calgary.

    If Rangers are healthy, I think they're at least 50/50 to beat anyone out West. This year wasn't like the past couple where the West was clearly better than the East. It's weird how the Ducks are kind of under the radar. While Calgary is a great story, and I don't expect them to get swept...

    Crazy stat. Caps/Isles had 27 combined PP's over 7 games, the fewest in a 7 game series over the last 25 yeas (apparently as far back as it was easy to look up the data, might be longer). The next closest was Toronto/Boston in 2013, with 41 combined PP's over 7 games. 14 less PP's than any...

    If you're a small/skilled D man who isn't used to physical play and are not good at avoiding hits, it's going to be tough sledding. Wouldn't label Mike Green as small, and he can play a little physical himself at times, but for years he was terrible at avoiding getting demolished and every team...

    Ducks w/ Boudreau, I figured someone would beat him in a Game 7 again like always. Hawks, well, I made my picks before I knew Kane was going to be back for Round 1. Also for whatever reason I just felt like after winning that division, this might be the year they get over the hump. Drawing...

    That moment when you realize if Tampa can pull out their Game 7 you went 7/8 on your picks for Round 1...but the one you lost you had winning it all in your NHL.com bracket.

    Suck it refs. Unreal in a Game 7 with no penalties you call a roughing with 3 minutes to go. Laughable. Deserved to win tonight. Unreal softie from Holtby though to let them tie it.

    Hearing NBC is panning "missed calls" against the Caps, but not showing any of the stuff the other way, like the obvious missed trip to Glencross in the 1st, or Strait giving Chimera the exact same hit that Ovechkin gave Hickey.

    Yeah, the scene with Sansa being shown to her bedchamber and the woman telling her "the North remembers" was pretty good. Of course, now TV and book viewers might wonder if they're getting set up once again to think a Stark is finally going to deliver the righteous wrath to everyone that has...

    Pretty good episode. Not a ton of action but love the dialogue. Sets up some interesting story moves. Ser Friendzone nabbing Tyrion is interesting. Wonder which queen he'll take him too, I assume Dany.

    It's funny how the rumors on Chip moving up or trading for Mariota just won't go away. I thought at one point he'd "settled" all the rumors but they persist still. Has to be somewhat legit if the noise is still there at this point, no?

    No I hear you, I just thought you were crazy to predict no Game 7's in Round 1. Seems like there's always 2-3+ Game 7's in Round 1. In Ovechkin era, Caps have played in 9 playoff series...7 of them have gone to a Game 7. Only 2 that didn't occurred in the same year too. Expect anything...

    People forget though, we put up a ton of goals in the first 4 games (granted, it was Price that played Game 4)...he was just magnificent in Games 5-7. Of course, one waved off Ovechkin goal for Mike Knuble causing air to blow past Halak in 3rd period of Game 7 sure helped.

    And lurking, this is why I pointed out it was weird you had no Game 7's in your predictions for Round 1. Caps in the playoffs, it was a lock that I was hoping to avoid...but it's a lock.

    Hasn't done it yet, had to expect he would have a strong game after giving up 5. Also if Beagle could shoot from what I heard on the radio, we'd be waiting for OT to start.

    I was more trying to get the # of games right in those two series as well. I figured Rags would handle the Pens pretty easily (they are the one team in the East that has a lot less flaws than the other 7), although I really thought Winnipeg was a tough team to play against and would push the...

    I know Fleury was pissed about that goal, but no way he can be faulted for this playoff exit. He was great all series. All 5 games decided by 1 goal. Pens might have gone down in 5, but it was a lot closer than that.

    I can only imagine how much better the Caps would be if Mcphee hadn't been a fucking idiot and traded Forsberg for Martin Erat. (although we did get Latta as well, but 4th liner hardly makes up for it)
