not feeling as confident this year as a Colorado fan as last year.

 

[Gally]

I would feel a lot better about the Kings chances with a healthy Fiala and Villardi. Maybe Joonas can channel 2012 Quick and they go on a run.

 

[Capella]

Feel ok about the Bolts but I don’t know. They have to be tired at this point.

Ugh. Looks like no Fiala and no Villardi. Joonas better stand on his head and Kings better not take any penalties.

 

[Anarchy99]

Bruins dealing with illness issues for Game 1 of the playoffs. Linus Ullmark is a game-time decision, while Jeremy Swayman is likely out. Patrice Bergeron also a game-time decision.

 

[ZADO]

The Boston Bad Boys are for real

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Pavelski in some trouble. Stars/Wild series going to get ugly.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ugly fall, but I thought it was a clean hit.

 

[kupcho1]

Tad late but looked shoulder to shoulder to me.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Reaves really needs to have a chat with Suter soon. How does the NHL allow its star players (Kaprizov) to be abused like this over and over again? I just don't get it. Suter is such a dirty POS.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

what a beauty pass to help tie this Oilers/Kings game up at the end.

 

[rockaction]

High stick causes the no goal. That was pretty definitive.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Wild need directions to their offensive zone.

 

[rockaction]

Alex Iafallo for the win and the Kings take home ice!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

pretty nice night of hockey

 

[BeTheMatch]

Suck it, Norm!

 

[Gally]

Who needs Fiala and Villardi when Juice is on the loose!

Great job of staying out of the penalty box. That will be a key to moving on.

 

[Bill Brasky]

really looking forward to a cheap shot on Suter in game 2.

Faber is a stud.

You've been activated!
Awesome. Don't forget the forearm shiver.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Leafs are in playoff form

 

[Capella]

It’s bolts season baby

 

[Zegras11]

Conn Smythe = Sam Steel

 

[Bill Brasky]

lol at O’Reilly with the thousand yard stare on the bench. he had to have known the second he got the trade call

 

[Chemical X]

rangers simply mauled the devil dogs tonite.
it’s like having 7 home games.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Kraken … greatest playoff team ever.

 

[Zegras11]

Kracken - best uni's

Golden Pukes - worst uni's

 

[3 hour lunch]

Suck it, Norm!

I still remember being at the last North Stars game ever and the “Norm Green sucks” chants

 

[Zegras11]

All four West road teams won game 1

 

[Chemical X]

All four West road teams won game 1

nhl has one of the weakest home ice advantages in the playoffs IMO. back in the day, it was uber important to have home ice, today not so much.

There is a lot that the NHL gets wrong.

Their Stanley Cup commercials do not fall into that category. They're top notch. Top notch, I say!

I'm just thankful it's not 436 Discover commercials in a row.

Why is Gustavsson not in goal?

 

[BeTheMatch]

Why is Gustavsson not in goal?

Plan all along was to alternate. Double OT made it pretty easy to stick with that, I'd think.

I agree and disagree. Canes were in a similar situation but Gustavsson is young.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Bruins kinda lost their **** at the end there.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

The Oil look crisp early. This is the only series I’m watching all the games. Did enjoy that Panthers win tho.

It's cash back match people!!!!!

 

[Bill Brasky]

can’t win with Fleury

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Korpisalo is gonna get a nice pay raise this off-season.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Time for Reaves to dedicate the third period to Suter

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Really like how hard the Kings play. Kempe looks impressive and they have a good mix of youth and vets.

 

[FishTacoTuesday]

Same old Oilers, they just fall asleep for large stretches of games. Can’t do that in the playoffs.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Feel ok about the Bolts but I don’t know. They have to be tired at this point.

I just don't think they are too tired to lose to a team that can't get out of the first round. Only one team in this series have a goalie that can win.

The Amazon chick with a mustache? I mean, nttatwwt.

 

[IC FBGCav]

I don't think I have enough drunk in me too tell the whole story. But my company has 6 seats right behind the visitors bench at PNC Arena for Canes games. Chode sat there so he can confirm. Well, for game 1 against the NYI, when ESPN were interviewing the NYI coach, people from my company started pimping one of our brands.

 

[IC FBGCav]

It did not go over well...I doubt any dvr this game but it happened 42 minutes into the feed on espn.

Wilders?

I think the Kings are a year or two from being a force..........if they can solidify their goal tender. I would also love to see them resign Gabrikov as he has been just what they needed on the back end. I would be good with resigning both Joonas and Gavrikov. That should set them up for this run for the next few years.
