Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread: Kings win 2nd Cup in 3 seasons (2 Viewers)

I'll take that period. Nyquist looks like the fastest guy on the ice.

Bruins have no one with that kind of speed. They'll have to continue to counter with physical play wherever they can.

When he can get back on the ice, Paille is fast. Not as crafty as Nyquist, but he's pretty fast.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wings looking pretty good so far against a tough Bruins team.

They understand the pressure, they were in the Calder Cup at this point last year.

Heh. This is how I had myself talked into the Lightning. These kids won like 28 straight in Syracuse last year.

Tampa is going to be built like Detroit. Might not be your year this year, but your time will come. Hard to see winning anything with Lindsback as your goalie, I didn't even hold him in a 16 team league this year he was so bad.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Roit is going to win this game 1-0

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Get your head out of your ### MULE!!!!!!!!

 

[Dickie Dunn]

It baffles me that the Bruins had the fewest power play opportunities in the league and still finished with the best record.

I was gonna take the under and I fell asleep.

Wings might be outplaying the B's through two. Bruins had the best 3rd period goal differential in the regular season and Detroit was among the worst. Hoping that holds up.

That's because the Wings like giving up two goal leads. As long as they don't get up two, it's all good.

Yea I really hate him. He's been ok this series though, Tampa D has gotten steamrolled.

Lucic...Boston's largest free floating penis.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Tampa fans get the U-S-A chant going. Always makes sense when the face if your franchise is Canadian.

Get you in seats were going for 150 tonight. Gotta do something to entertain you through this mess.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Montreal's captain and best player are American. Tampa has Callahan I guess.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

GUDLEVSKIS!

 

[Premier]

God Lindback sucks so much.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Announcers basically said no chance Bishop is playing in this series. Hope it's not a sweep.

Carey Price is American???

Pacioretty scores a lot more goals than that guy.

I don't see how it isn't. This should have been a 3-4 goal rout in game 1 as well. Bishop covered up a lot of these defensive letdowns all year; no chance these tools can.

Announcers basically said no chance Bishop is playing in this series. Hope it's not a sweep.

Let's be honest, would Bishop have made that much of a difference to this point? Montreal has controlled the play throughout and Lindback wasn't that bad tonight. Bishop came way back down to earth since the Olympic break. It's a wash IMO.

A wash? Bishop hasn't been great since the all-star break partially because his first half was unrealistic, this crappy D has let him get fired on like this for 3 months straight and Cooper never gave him a day off.

They wouldn't beat Montreal with him either, but he'd be better than this.

It's been a mismatch for sure, but Bishop can steal games. Losing Palat was pretty big today.

Holy #### Detroit can not afford to take penalties.

I'm not really in the mood to argue over dumb ####. Bishop is far better than Lindback and can steal games. Lindback is awful.

 

[Foosball God]

Boston coming alive.

 

[Raider Nation]

Really impressed with the Wings, though. The young fellas aren't fazed in the least on this stage.

well yeah, worlds better. I'm a big Bishop guy too. I'm just saying at this point it doesn't matter and Lindback hasn't been completely terrible for the last couple weeks and I'm pretty sure you'd agree.I get it though, always sucks to say what if with key guys injured. Bishop could have changed this series, I just don't think it would have mattered.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

BOOM!!!!!!!

 

[Raider Nation]

Sigh.

He's just amazing.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

DATSYUK!

 

[Foosball God]

How the hell did Datsyuk pull the puck up? Amazing.

 

[Zegras11]

just another sucky 1-0 game

 

[BobbyLayne]

 

[Premier]

That guy is a witch.

 

[Raider Nation]

Boston always goes to Game 7 in the first round. This isn't exactly a shock.

Yea he was fine winding down the year and even thought he was pretty decent game 1. He got worked over pretty good tonight though, seems like one BB could have stole.Team is clearly inferior so far though.

Do that for several years and it ends badly.

Even if they lose, you still have Brady, Revis and Belichick to look forward to.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Great move by Datsyuk in the neutral zone, but it still was a relatively harmless rush. Rask needs to stop that shot.

 

[Hawks64]

BOOM!!!!!!!

Abby with some great work there driving the net and taking two Bruins with him to give Datsyuk room.

Yeah, I guess I can see that. Still, Rask tends to give up that type of goal at bad times.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Boston!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still having nightmares of triple OT in the Hockey East final 10 years ago.

 

[rockaction]

I'd posted a day or two ago that the prospect of facing Datsyuk made me nauseated. Now, ironically, I literally am and it has nothing to do with hockey.

GG, Detroit and Detroit fans. See you for Game Two.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Perfect game played by the Wings. I will take a tie game in Boston late in the 3rd every game of this series.
