NHL 2012 Playoffs Thread

[Toro]

The NHL brass is crossing their fingers for a Rangers-Kings final.

Probably. At least, they don't rig games like the NBA though.

I personally think it sucks that the Capitals lost. I wanted to see Ovekin get to a championship. It'd have been fun to watch Obama jump that bandwagon too.

Well, you can see him(ovechkin) become world champion now.. Ovechkin is now tranfering to play the finals in WC. Both Semin and Ovechkin will strengthen Russia. Backstrom comes in for Sweden now when capitals are out. The swedes look more eager to play wc at home than stanley cup, at least they say so.

See my post near the beginning of the thread why it's better to have North Americans on NHL teams than Europeans.

The stanley cup is very time consuming, when they play 7 matches in the 1/8 finals, 7 matches in the quarter final etc.If you’d made the stanley cup more compact with 3 matches instead of 7 each they could have finished in may and ready for WC.

World cup is very important this year, since it also is qualification for the olympics2014. USA also has a good team this year to secure qualification for the olympics2014.

We don't really care about the World Championships. It's an interesting sideshow but it doesn't really matter. It's kind of like the Europa Cup of hockey.

Kings become the first team in playoff history to win their first six road games.

Maybe Pheonix should just shoot on net from the red line all the time....

Phoenix is in the same hole that Vancouver and St Louis found themselves in......

And back to hockey if you're done trolling.

Rangers up 1-0.

 

[Dr.House]

3-0 final...

King Henrik....

The Kings are up 2-0 against Phoenix in the second period.

Hockey is a weird game sometimes. On the one hand, I like its unpredictability. On the other hand, when the 8th ranked team in the conference wins 10 out of 11 playoff games, I think "WTF is the point of an 82 game regular season?" It makes the regular season a complete joke.

Oh well.

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Yea, but the Kings had a great road record and only 2 pts separated them from the three seed. It makes a great headline though.

3-0 Kings after 2.

 

[Zander]

Kings do it again!! Up 3-0 in series against Phoenix. WOOHOO!!!!

1 more win = Stanley Cup Series!!!!

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

Damn. The Kings game slipped my mind. I'm glad they won. How'd it look compared to the first two games of the series? Is there a channel/site showing the replay?

The looked very sharp and managed to rattle Phoenix into making some very bad mistakes. Quick is still in the zone and only allowed 1 goal...
This series looks like another sweep to me. I don't see anyone stopping this team right now....especially not the robotic offense of Phoenix.
