All Playoff Talk... All the Time... 2012 Edition

i strongly prefer a tight game as opposed to this 7-5 stuff

adams at this point should get third man in and be gone next game as well crysby started that and adams jumped hartnel

Flyers win 8-4. Take a 3-0 grip of death lead in the series. I think we may see a sweep.

That was some bush league hockey by Pittsburgh - pretty pathetic and embarrassing. It stopped being a matter of trying to win but who can we injure.

Panthers up 3-0 late in the 2nd...

Devils coming back... 3-2 in the third now...

Panthers win... 4-2... series tied 1-1.

Good game going on in LA. Ref's are doing a good job by calling the unnecessary extra shot to the head. Both Brown and Lapierre have been tagged with it.

Crazy game, just finished watching it via PVR.

That's what they do. It gets lost in all the swooning over Crysby and Malkin and Letang and Fleury.

Exciting stuff in LA. Van almost out of the picture.

Should be very interesting who makes it to the finals. No clear cut winners there.

I went to bed, can't believe LA won again. BAD news in Vancouver!

All lead by Captain Crysby. Despite the fact that I picked him in my playoff pool (and Pittsburgh in the GMHockey playoff pool), it is incredibly satisfying to watch Pittsburgh get demolished by Philly. Those smug cocky bastards had this coming.

Philly will be in for a rude awakening in the 2nd round when they have to play a team that understands defence and has decent goaltending.

Madness. Schneider looked good early though, and so did the team. Gotta go with Schneider again I think. Wow. Will we see both Pitt and Van bounced in 4 straight in the first round? Unbelievable.

Brynas lost... next game Tuesday.. DAMN

Silf had a penalty shot in the OT and hit the post; later hit the post again. Could have been over. Hopefully Alfie is OK for game 4 and we don't need a forward with offensive skills.

Shanaban will be busy again today...

Predicted to be the Cup Finalists by most analysts; same ones who predicted Sens in last and Leafs in the hunt.

As much as it screws up all my playoff pools, it is satisfying to see both the Canucks and Pens going out so easily in the 1st round. They are probably the two most unlikeable teams in the NHL. Karma.
