Shit, there doesn't need to be tinfoil on to expect bad reffing. That's pretty much the standard. Maybe I shouldn't say all around bad, just completely not consistent. It'll be both ways too, just like it was for us and the Flyers.

Btw, laughable that it took 6 games of Schenn jumping into guys for the DOPS to finally have a hearing with him over it.

The tinfoil hat is in reference to the theory that the NHL is more fixed than boxing. Not that I support that theory per se, but I don't wanna lose my NYR fan card by going against the herd. Really suspicious sometimes though....

Want the Blues to win, so Hawks in O.T. it is. Great fucking game so far.

I mean...you remember that chart I posted? Kind of funny for NYR fans to be singing that tune

. Rags just keep their feet moving more.

Blues are winning this.

Well then:

EAST

Philadelphia @WashingtonCaps in 6, but who knows cause it's the Caps.
NY Islanders @FloridaPanthers in 6, Isles too banged up I think, but Florida has some guys without a lot of experience.
NY Rangers @PittsburghPens in 5. Lundqvist going nuts is only chance I see for the Rags this time around.
Detroit@ Tampa Bay Wings in 7. Tampa banged up, plus I felt weird picking all the home teams.

WEST

Minnesota @DallasStars in 5, simply too much firepower for the Wild imo.
Nashville @AnaheimDucks in 6. Could be shorter, but I expect Nashville to put up more of a fight than Minnesota.
Chicago @St. LouisBlues in 7. Fuck it, they have to get over the hump eventually.
San Jose @LA KingsKings in 7. Tight series, could easily go the other way.
Feast or famine so far. Nailed Caps and Pens, Tampa needed only one line to beat Detroit, and Tavares (and some OT luck) carried the Isles.
Nailed the Blues, but Kings got smoked. Stars took one extra game, and same could be true of Anaheim if they get it done in Game 7 (although Boudreau in Game 7's at home not so great).

Am I the only one who finds it weird the Lightning/Isles game 1 will be taking place before the Nashville/Anaheim game 7?

No, and it's a big change from how the NHL usually handles the Round 2 schedule. Still waiting to hear Caps/Pens schedule. Bieber being at Verizon Center Friday is messing a lot up. Could be a Yanni situation...heard rumors of back to back Sat and Sun night, or basic Thurs/Sat Games 1 and 2. Only problem with Thursday is they'd go head to head with the NFL Draft.

Fucking Caps, and by proxy our series, is getting raw dogged by Justin Bieber!?

I hate you motherfuckers even more. I hope Ovie develops Boneitis tonight.

Thursday/Saturday it is. Ratings will take a hit being up against the NFL Draft, but oh well.

Glad the preds won. Islanders showing just how abysmal the wings offense was.

Damn Grimm, not sure whether to be annoyed our Game 1 is on the same night as the NFL Draft or pumped that I get to watch both on the same night.

Kind of a free wheeling game, but jesus, so much talent on the ice. Fun stuff to watch but makes me sad to see how outclassed the Rangers have become.... I get excited when a pass goes through on the rush or one of our "stars" DOESN'T fan on a shot. Meanwhile Backstrom makes crazy plays like that pop pass to Ovie like nothing.

Lol, JR just called the game shitty on live t.v.

Enjoy Troy Brouwer, St. Louis. Although they got the Game 7 winner out of him (even if it took 3 chances at it), so I'm sure they're fine with the deal. They just might not get anything more.

Oshie with 4 goals and 3 assists in 7 games so far this playoffs.

Holy fuck though, the miscues in this game, both ways. Ovechkin needs to just shoot on those short breakaways. Puck rolls on him every damn time he goes to his backhand and with his curve he never gets it up. Also Jason Chimera reverting to true Stone Hands.

Tom Wilson has surely learned a valuable lesson.

Do this to a an opponent's young speedster.

Get a $2403.67 fine.

He definitely won't play like a piece of shit going forward now!
