So how awesome was that Leafs collapse last night? Pretty awesome, I think. First team in NHL history to be up 3 goals in the third period of a game 7 and lose (how they find stat shit like that, I have no idea).
Quote your previous picks jackasses:
Pittsburghvs Ottawa
Rangersvs Boston
Chicagovs Detroit
Los Angelesvs San Jose
I really, really want San Jose to beat the Kings as I have a lot of money in a hockey pool, and a single bet with another team for $1,500 that has a bunch of LA guys while my team has a few SJ. If LA wins the series, we lose that bet for sure.
Quote your previous picks jackasses:
3 for 8, not very good. Surprised that Detroit got by Anaheim probably the most of any of the series. Although Vancouver being swept was a pretty pleasant surprise as well. Round 2:
Pittsburghvs Ottawa
Rangersvs Boston
Chicagovs Detroit
Los Angelesvs San Jose

Sitting through our Game 7 last night was soul crushing...but I don't think I'd even be a functioning human being if what happened to the Leafs happened to us last night. The only saving grace for Toronto was that it was on the road...and even that is zero consolation.Good times in Toronto.

I blame this more on California having some of the best teams in the NHL. PACIFICDIVISIONWUT!
Actually, The Ducks and The Stars blow. LA and SJ are beastly, though!

I'm sure it's universal in our locker room, but he needs to just let it go. Yes, I think for the most part we got the short end of the stick on the calls for most of the series, but that doesn't matter. Our PK was great (and Rags' PP was bad)...just win anyways. You let them get in your head and all you have is an excuse for why the team came out and had zero answers in Game 7 where the refs basically let everything go. The Caps were just undisciplined in general from the standpoint that it was extremely easy to see how games were going to get called, and they were just dumb fucks and didn't adjust. Game 6 was a clear example of that. Sure it's ridiculous we had 0 PP's in that game, but the penalties we took were by and large guys just being fucking morons, especially after you see how they are going to call the game after the first penalty against Hillen.

I can't disagree. I wasnt happy with the officiating at first, but after seeing the caps take the brunt of it from game 3 on I stfu.
I just found it funny how he brought up revenue and the lockout causing reff bias to push a game 7.
