The Stanley Cup Playoffs 2016 megathread

[Algernon]

The Minnesota wild are going to win the cup.


I don't know why, that's just the feeling I get

They are going to win 0 games

I bet you they win this one

[Algernon]

I hope philly and Washington destroy each other

[shafnutz05]

Couturier is done for the series. AO wrecked him

Yup, AC sprain from the sound of it. With how badly Voracek is playing, that spells doom for the Flyers.

NHL playoffs beginning in earnest, and the top story on ESPN (before the NFL schedule was released) was the riveting results from the WNBA draft.

[meow]

Without Parise or Haula, I don't see them competing. Unless Dubnyk pitches shutouts and scores hat tricks.

Wake up FLA

[meow]

Welp. Florida is pooping the bed

[shafnutz05]

Wow....Islanders taking Florida behind the woodshed all of a sudden. Playoff Roberto Luongo has been engaged.

[meow]

Florida cleaning up the pooped bed a bit. A freaking laser beam from Smith

[shmenguin]

schenn injured himself with a borderline hit at the end of that game. clement thinks it's because alzner's stick tapped his body armor on his way down. in other news, clement is a gigantic ninny. complains about every physical incident. he must not have forgotten the 1,000,000 horrific things that happened every shift in the era he played in.

however, the flyers did get jobbed after wilson tried to murder macdonald. refs overthought it and evened up the call when simmonds came in to give wilson some harmless business. and to tie it all back, clemment wanted an instigator on wilson for some reason after simmonds came in out of nowhere.

break the stick with a downward motion...automatic slash. break it with an upward motion....?

[shafnutz05]

We are only a few games into the playoff season and the officiating is already a trainwreck. It was just as bad in the Flyers game.

[meow]

That's the problem with automatic calls.

i'm serious with that question though. is it a penalty no matter what direction you come from?

I don't know why, that's just the feeling I get

They are going to win 0 games

That's enough for the Cup though, right?

[mikey]

What kind of odds do I have to give @Algernon on a $100 bet on the Wild winning the Cup...?

Cup? No. Banner in DC? Yes.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Jagrrrrr so close

[crusherstasiak]

when simmonds came in to give wilson some harmless business.

Harmless? The Wayne Train's second punch nearly knocked Tommy boy the f out of the rink.

"Barkov wants to win this clean"


Thanks Pierre

[Blue Canary]

What a barn-burner in Florida!

Looks like the Isles are going to survive and win game 1.

[Blue Canary]

Couturier is done for the series. AO wrecked him

Yep. They're not winning anything without him.

He's key to containing Geno. So, I'm OK with he Flyers wearing themselves out to eke out the series in 7. They pass out in the visitors' locker room at Consol and forfeit round 2.

Hard to believe Florida could blow that game. That stings because they were well better...see how it affects the young team...

[shafnutz05]

lol @ Minnesota. If I had to set odds for all 16 teams, I would give the Wild the lowest odds of any team. They're just so...milquetoast.

Sharks tie it up already. Could be a really fun series.

[mikey]

Spezza absolutely lobotomizes Dubynk with the fake clapper...
