NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

I predict the better team wins in 5 like I said before, and then there will be a huge controversy when the reporters catch Toews and Kane in the locker room fingercuffing Sharp while they high five.




edit: Man that was close to a kick, I wouldn't have complained if it was overturned. The fact he nipped it with the stick saved it.


edit2: Godawful penalty call against Crosby, make-up call against Sens coming in 3....2...

Ohhhh refs, inconsistent be thy name.

2 missed calls on sens there, wtf..

Edit: third times the charm.

Well this series is over. Kinda sad when the Isles put up a better fight.

Isles got to dine on Bad Fleury a bit.

Not sure exactly what adjustments Bylsma made, but Ottawa hasn't been able to really lock down on D since the OT periods.Feelslike they are doing a little more dump and chase to get the team in position rather than having one guy carry it in deep.

He wasn't bad Fleury till playing the Isles though. Not saying they are solely responsible for making a choke artist choke, but an argument can be made either way.

That pass to Malkin was butter. The fact that the pens are consistently producing goals on these offensive breaks is the difference between them and every other team in the east these playoffs. A shame we (likely) won't get to see if Lundqvist could buck that trend.

Doug Murry for ht in the wiener with a stick.

I'm picking the team in black and gold to win the East! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!







Yeah, I hate me too.

Congrats Bruins.
Rangers didn't play well enough and they got beat for it.
Krug is a beast.

Seriously, at this point I'm just hoping Cooke tapdances on that guy's tendons in game one=P

Apparently the Blackhawks just came to fight, but that is most of the Western teams.

Glad the Wings are moving East next season so they can actually play some hockey.

Fuck you Rangers. See you on TSN or NBC next year Torts.

I've got Penguins in 7 or if Krug takes the team on his back again.. Bruins in 4.

Laaaaaaawl at that puck stuck between Howard's skate and the post.

UMaine alum hurr, Howard is beast mode right now.

Yeesh some really dumb penalties by the Wings. Not sure what they're thinking. Plus their defense is playing weak again and just never clear the puck.

Will be a fun 3rd period!

The Pensive Babcock is a funny picture every time.

Is that Chicago playing Tool during stoppages? +1 for you Chicago.
