The Official NHL 2009-2010 Thread. Playoff Edition

Woooh exciting game so far. 1-1

Stars with 4 goals already and the 1st period isn’t even over yet. HOLY SHIT.

Who are they going against?

Nashville Predators.

:chat: :rofl:

What;s that Steve Nash infomercial thing from

[media=youtube]kxZkaEge0R8"[/media]

How have you not seen this yet? There are like half a dozen other guys on this (or there were, at least) website with avs based on this infomercial LOL.

Wow. I can’t believe I haven’t seen it yet. That shit was great.

“Get paid!”

Brian Campbell is fucking solid, if overpaid. Dude creates offense and his D is pretty good. This is the guy we paid for. He’s not Duncan Keith, but he’s balling this year

You did overpay, but you always do for FA’s.

He is a bit too soft for my liking.

Rangers 4
Kings 2

Kings vastly outplayed the Rangers in the second. But the weathered the storm.

Hail Henrik!

Khabbi saved the Oilers from being blown away. Hawks had almost 40 shots on goal compared to the Oilers 18 IIRC. He made some super fucking clutch saves. I already miss him

Henrik was in the goddamn matrix tonight. Gaborik was just as ridiculous as always.

and god i miss souray
fucking iginla, little bitch

closer game then i expected, but the result was what i would have imagined

I swear to fucking god this running Lundqvist thing has to be fucking addressed and dealt with. Guy is the fucking franchise.

its a major risk for butterfly goalies too since they are getting run while being in such awkward positions.

but can you really deal with it? goalies are not protected in the NHL

post play scrums usually result in the penalizing of a couple of roughers, but rarely ever the person that starts the incident goes in the box unless its something ridiculous.

you cant even send guys to the people running the goalies cause they’ll get boxed, and possibly get that stupid ass instigator penalty.

so the only logical thing to do is to run their goalie right back.

which comes in full circle.

I think Lundqvist is overrated, not as much as Turco, but still overrated.

Biggzy-

I watch 70-80 Ranger games a year, and I have season tickets. Have you watched him play much?

Trust me when I say, as a hockey fan first and foremost, Lundqvist is no where near overrated, however I don’t feel he is underrated either.

The Rangers don’t sniff the play-offs last year without him (Bottom five in PP and GF), and they certainly get swept without him.

He is a keeper with the tools to win it all one day…I just hope it is with the Rangers.

the biggest problem with lundquist is he can get streaky. i’ve seen him get like 3 shutouts then follow that with a few disasters. but yea, there’s no way you’re not benefiting from having lundquist.

That being said…he HAS had stretches of play each year where he plays poorly. You are right on the front.

I like to watch them pretty regularly, but I’m sure you have a better analysis on him since you have season tickets. I mean, I know he’s a great goaltender, probably top 5 in the league but he just gets so much hype.

I have season tickets to the Panthers…I really wish I could sell them for even a fraction of what I paid for them lol.

I’m really high on Steve Mason, dudes a monster.

I had a post typed up and closed the window. It was me bitching about how fucking overcomplicated hockey games are now and that there is a reason people people still play NHL 94.

Rangers/Leafs tonight. I expect something to be done about the running Lundqvist incident.

I am going to give hockey streams a chance. $15 for the month with HD stream. If it sucks I won’t re up.

I am all registered. Hopefully the service will be worth it. I’ll let you know how it is tonight.
