FUCK YEAH WILD. FUCK YOU CHICAGO FUCKS!!!!!!!!

Rangers looked really sharp last night. If they could be consistently like that, they have a good shot at the cup.

Rangers/Canadians would be a bloody awesome series.

i dont think either of these teams advance

Bruins finally played like they should have been all playoffs, and the Habs had no answer for it. I'm fairly confident that they'll win game 6 now. If not, I still don't see the habs pulling off a series win.

If the Habs could use their speed to their advantage, they would win. They're a fast, strong team. If they could bring that to the power play, they'd score every time. What is the deal? Why can't they connect?

I'm not overly optimistic about them advancing, but I'd like to see it.

2014 NHL Playoffs -- Shawn Thornton of Boston Bruins fined for squirting water at P.K. Subban of Montreal Canadiens - ESPN Boston

He seriously interfered with a guy going for the puck on the ice and got a $2800 fine? I know he didn't hook his eye out or something, but I'd think you really want to send a message that interfering with the game from the bench is unacceptable.

Still, Thornton's laugh after was pretty funny.

/r/hockey gif of the week thread is pretty great.

I'd say about half the Pens goals this series have gone in off a Rangers player. Henrik would have about a 1.5 GAA without those.

Quite the buzzkill after an otherwise stellar first for the Rangers. Well, that and the botched Stepan breakaway in the first minute.

Pretty fun game so far though.

Edit: Lundqvist going god-mode apparently.

Fuckin' Lundqvist.

Flashbacks of Lighting series 3 years ago when Pens went up 3-1 and shit it away.

Fleury came up pretty big in the third also. Shame the pens took so many bad penalties, really kicked their own ass there.

I hate rooting for the Rangers. It would be glorious though if they came all the way back in Pittsburgh though.

I don't know if thats true. I think thats commonly perceived, but not necessarily true.

The Bruins have young players like Krug, Bartkowski, Hamilton etc that don't have a problem with speed. If anything they have a harder time with a guy like PK Subban who's a big body and digs in the corners.

This is the most balanced Bruins team I've seen... in a LONG long time. Win or lose.

I wasn't able to watch the game last night but I stand by my previous statement. Though, I hold very little hope that the Wild will advance. The next game would be fun as hell to be at though. I have a feeling the X is going to be louder than it ever has been.

Montreal's secret weapon that will get them through to the next round:

Not to get all technical but shouldn't that be a double bladed stick?...

Lundqvist squirting Crosby with his water bottle. Best trend of the playoffs!
