Thanks for getting us a win, Jim! I will be at the UC tomorrow night trying to see them close it out. :tu

Understood, Mike, you just can't root for a team you hate....it would be like me rooting for the Casucks against anyone. I would root for a team of Hitlers over Vancouver.

I think the Hawks would have an easier time with the Wings, a less physical team than SJ. Niemi is playing great, as are Couture, Galiardi (sp?), even Torres. It will come down to getting behind the SJ defense and putting a lot of rubber on Niemi, and trying to "outspeed" a speedy SJ offense. Should be a good, tough series, much tougher for the Hawks than in 2010....sure wish we had Big Byfuglein back. :lr

Dude the soft pick is becoming part of hockey it seems, the canucks run them CONSTANTLY and they aren't even that soft, when the cansmucks are on a PP they are running the pick and there's a decent amount of contact going on, not one call.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Vokoun is playing well.... Pens are responding.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Congrats to Craig Anderson and the Senators for moving along (handily) to Round 2.

Great night at the U.C. too....12 to go.

Fun season for the Wild but I have never seen a team so much in need of a scorer. We have to have set the record for scoring chances without scoring. Still glad to make the playoffs and excited to see all the good, you g talent we have waiting for next year.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Congrats to the Wild for a good season, they just ran into a buzzsaw, Pete.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Won't argue that.

Now win the damn cup so we can at least lose to the champs!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Vokounnnnnnnnn!!!!!

Damn...maybe now we found a goalie that could be good in the post season as well! :D

Told ya not to count us out Tom! Oh, and best of luck in the second round brother :tu

:) :tu

I wasn't serious when I said the Isles would win, Cole, Pens have so much fire-power. Vokoun looks like he might be the answer. Still impressed with the fight the Islanders have put up, though.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Islanders are def not laying down and dying, like I hope the leafs do tonight :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

I agree Isles will fight tonight I think the leafs will also.


Congrats to the Hog and the Hawks on a very dominant showing.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Looking like it will probably be Hawks-Sharks semi-finals, Mike. :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Meh had to end for Sharks sooner or later like every year. As I have said before if they have to go out I dont mind it being to a team I also like. The boy is allready trash talking a little. Nothing like a 7yr old talking trash

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

My two least favorite teams are both golfing tomorrow. :D

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Awesome picture :)

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

vokoun was pretty good. We need something better than Nabby backed up by poulin. we need insert name here ---> Backed up by Nabby next year.
Whether the Isles win or lose this series I am, after the last twenty yeaow rs so happy with 1. how we performed this season and 2. how stocked our prospect pool is (hell some of our best players aren't even up in the bigs yet) 3. the future of this franchise.

LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!!!

Re: NHL 2013 Thread
 

Great season by the Islanders, they should come back even stronger next year.

If the Pens goaltending and defense don't improve, I think the Sens will beat them.
