NHL 2011 Playoffs (spoilers)

[Dannyboy]

It's almost like someone realized how crap a left coast playoff series was for Detroit fans and made it just about as easy as possible on us.

The league saying they're sorry about the octopus fiasco, maybe?

I edited the schedule to include 5-7 and to post the television coverages.

I have to say, the first round was absolutely fantastic!!! Seems that the matchups were really good all around, only two series were short.

Second round should be interesting. Both East and West have seeds 1v5 and 2v3.    I think West will be Wings/Canucks, but cant count Preds outs. Not sure about the East. I think Caps/Philly, but TB could be wildcard. I dont see Boston with that powerplay they have unless they can fix that in the next day or so.

In any rate, game one tonight.

+1
and it's a good teaser for what is coming next. You're right for the East , It should be Caps/Philly, but the Caps need to fight hard aginst TB; that is exciting, great team play and lot of talented players on each side. For West comp i really want to see Canucks\Wings. I'm HABS fan living in Montréal, but i must say that i have a little crush for the Red Wings 


As a player in recreational league, i really like this sport, and when i watch games like we've seen in a first round, damned!!! it'S a good show.

Have nice time everyone watching play off !

Being in a business that caters to the hockey fans this time of year is crazy for us.  Today we made and shipped out thousands of shirts. I did this design for Philly.



Now being based in Boston and a Bruins fan I put a hex on every shirt we shipped out.

It's almost time for the opening face-off.

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!

Lightning take game 1.

That penalty on pavelski is a complete joke...

[redxblack]

snow showers often result in unsportsmanlike calls. It sure as sht wasn't roughing though. The officials got the right time in box on the wrong penalty.

[swampduc]

Unsportsmanlike for a snow shower.. In the playoffs? Yeah, that's common... If you're the Wings.

[redxblack]

The wings rarely ever get calls (relative to their regular season stats). I could bust out stats if you wanna get bored (once I get sobered up). I have homer glasses and don't pretend to be objective. I'm wearing my wings gear and cheering at the television, so I have no delusions that I'm watching this as anything other than a fan of my team. Still, blatant showers to the face like that do get called. They don't often get called in the playoffs because they don't happen as often in the playoffs. Pavelski made a dick move and got a couple pokes from Howard. I don't think they should have called either, but calling both is all the same to me.

shit. pavelski (the wing clipper) ties the game.

objective me thought it was a beautiful play. the wing fan thought it was dogshit.
