There went an enjoyable 1-0 hockey game.

I know I'm spoiled by the 82 games a year I get to see of the Penguins...but man, LA's attack scheme is absolute cheeks...I get you're a defensive team and playing against a quick, plucky group...but man alive, put some sack into it...you needed two goals to win that game and you didn't get close...

I thought Kopitar was going to tie it, when Fleury’s mask was knocked off.

Nice double shutouts for the former and current Pens goalies.

Vegas is going to beat LA in the first round. Because LA is clueless on how to play them.

Boudreau after the Jets' 3rd goal:

"Fat"?

I can't wait until someone on HFBoards photoshops that with him opening some kind of food container.

This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but saw something about the Predators rallying around a "61:35" mantra. As in, if Hornqvist didn't score with 1:35 left in game 6, the Preds were 61:35 away from winning a cup.

Can they please be eliminated in the first round? Do work Colorado

That is the first mention I have seen of it. What a bunch of losers. They must forget they got shut out the last two games.

Is Bonino using it for motivation...?

lolololol

That isn't a real thing.

They better focus on Colorado if they don't want next year's motto to be "720:00".

Postby **Silentom** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:50 am

That is beyond dumb.

Would be great if next year’s shirt read 960:00 cuz that would mean the Avs swept them.

What honky tonk marketing moron came up with that desperate, and inaccurate, plea?

Postby **Gaucho** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 10:10 am

I failed math again.

Postby **Troy Loney** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 10:44 am

Is that still sour grapes about the disallowed goal?

It wasn't a marketing ploy, it's a team-wide mantra.

The "61:35" banner will continue to decorate the Predators' dressing room as they chart their course toward another Stanley Cup Final.

The Capitals now have some competition on useless banners

Doty is a turd and hit carrier up high.

That's too bad...I don't think he means to hit him high...but it does look like there's head contact...selfishly and inconsistently I don't want him to be suspended...but he'll probably get a game for that...

Postby **Silentom** » Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:58 am

That's what happens when you line up a hit on the puck Carrier.
