2016-2017 NHL Thread - Viva Las Vegas!

Playoffs have started…
HERE GOOOOOOO!

Also: Kings traded for Bishop and stillmissed the playoffs when they had a spot all but locked. #LOLKINGS

It never made sense for the Kings to trade for a 2nd no.1 goalie when we had Quick. The Kings needed offense, not another tender.

Deano and Sutter got fired, so it looks like we’re a noncontender again for another 40 years maybe. hahaha

That was the shittiest season I’ve seen as a wings fan. Ken Holland making it really hard to like the team right now, but I definitely don’t like him for the moves he’s made, and his cowardice of hiding in the rafters during the closing of the Joe while Scotty Bowman stood on stage basically telling the crowd Holland keeps his job for taking credit for moves Bowman told him he wanted made.

If they somehow re-sign Holland AND Howard at the end of next season, I’m actually thinking of boycotting the team. Yzerman’s contract is up in Tampa at the same time and the crowd at the Joe on Sunday made it abundantly clear they want him back in a high end capacity. He’s already proven a solid GM and could do it 100x better than Holland. He wants to be there, and he WANTED a GM job. Hell, Illitch offered Holland a PROMOTION so that Yzerman could become the GM and the selfish cocksucker refused like he’s got some sort of vendetta against him.

Here’s hoping he doesn’t fuck up the guaranteed 5th or better pick we have in the draft.

GO CANES!

Wait…

lmfao…i have to pretend to give a fuck about the bruins. but ducks tomarrow

The red wings made the playoffs like 25 yrs in a row. About damn time they missed it

yesterday’s games once again proved that the NHL has the best playoffs in sports.

And over the weekend we’ll be reminded how the NBA has one of the worst

I’m gonna laugh so hard if the Caps choke and get upset by Toronto. They can win two straight President’s trophies, but never the Cup…
EDIT: Shattenkirk getting exposed as a defenseman right now.

If we’re making the playoffs 25 years in a row, get good to make us not?

If you’re actually happy the wings got cut out this year because their GM and coach is a moron, then that’s some scrub shit.

Real talk.

Why am I not surprised that the Hawks lost game 1 after 4 days of rest

I know right…

Is this gonna be another year where the Blackhawks get bounced in the first round? Also, fuck the NHL’s hard salary cap.

All these overtimes.

Leafs/Caps is lit right now. I wonder when Matthews is gonna step up for Toronto in this series.
EDIT: I’m calling it now, 'Predators IN FOUR.

Chicago is dead. Nashville has their number

God that game two was sick. You could see the point where Toronto won way before they actually did. They had Washington so frustrated it was amazing.

I feel like this series is the big one. If they beat Washington everyone is on blast.

Not quite, I feel like its going to go deep like 7 games.

I swear the Hawks are trolling.

Meanwhile, them Habs-Rangers series is probably the best series so far next to the Leafs-Caps

My girlfriend is a leafs fan which when couple with the wings being out of the playoffs puts me into their cheering section.

The Preds are basically skating circles around the Hawks and totally out working them. Predators playing like they’re really hungry but the Hawks looks bloated and slow.

If the Hawks look flat game 3, the series could be over by the end of the 1st period of game 3
