2013 NHL Playoffs Discussion

These are 2 rapings in every possible way.

Leafs got a beat down in bean town. Wow. They really lost their cool in the end. Carlyle is a dumbass for having both Orr and McLaren in the lineup. Kostka was awesomely useless. Changes in Game 2 for sure.

Was Kadri even visible? I couldn't watch any, but I was listening to the radio in the car during the first; I don't think I heard his name mentioned at all.

Oh, and that singer has a nasty vibrato (at least full tone top to bottom).

Kadri did nothing as a lot expected. He had a good regular season and w/e, great, I have my theories on that but give the guy credit, solid regular season.

The Leafs are going to get hammered now that the games matter, hell they couldn't beat the Bruins when it didn't matter (to Boston). Would love to see it end in 4 and everyone in Toronto can just shut their mouths and realize the team is no where near as good as they think they are.

Sharks take Game 1 in Vancouver 3-1. Oh oh.

It's the same old Canucks. Goaltending is not their problem. They just aren't a playoff team...probably because they are lead by twins. They probably should've traded for someone that can score goals at crunch time (maybe Iggy?).

The Leafs looked pretty...weak. Also, Reimer wasn't great. Who took Redden in their playoff pool?

The Isles aren't a joke, but Pittsburgh made them look like an AHL team. I'll be surprised if Pittsburgh loses more than 4 four games to Eastern Conference teams this playoffs. They didn't have their best player, and they won 5-0. Neal was injured though, maybe that'll slow 'em down a bit.

Games on deck tonight:

- Sens @ Habs - Game 1 - Series tied 0-0 - 7:00pm
- Rangers @ Capitals - Game 1 - Series tied 0-0 - 7:30pm
- Kings @ Blues - Game 2 - Blues lead series 1-0 - 9:30pm
- Wings @ Ducks - Game 2 - Ducks lead series 1-0 - 10:00pm

Van didn't even score their lone last night. It was an own goal by San Jose.

Sens, Rags, Kings, and Ducks will all win tonight. BOOK. IT.

1 game away from winning a cup is not a Playoff team? That's pretty high standards

That was one year. What did they do the following year? The won one game.

Booked.

He sucked. He did nothing at all. If you're a leaf fan you hope he learns to shut his fat mouth and not give the other team any ammunition, but sadly the kid has Dung for brains.

I'm not a huge Kadri fan, but he didn't say anything stupid, or give the Bs "bulletin board material". All he said was that it was a "winnable" series. If anyone thinks this is motivation for the other team, THEY need a reality check.

OMG, THIS OTHER PLAYER ON THE OTHER TEAM THINKS THEY CAN BEAT US! UNPOSSIBLE!

They did as good as the rest of the NHL against LA and their second line was injured

Yeah pretty much. I don't get the hate on Kadri on this board. I wish Sens players had more guts to say the stuff he does because we are lacking serious cockiness in our dressing room and everytime we lose the fans call it acceptable because our guys are "NICE"

Alright, so what would you call the Canucks? I'll admit that they are a good team, but their management has failed them big time. They should have traded one of their goalies long ago to put them over the hump. And now their window is closing.

I agree that ppl overreacted on kadri and what he said. That said, I don't want our players doing it. Why? Simply because of our luck and history. See Alfie predicting we'd win the cup, melnyk predicting we'd win game 7 against toronto in 2004. I don't want cockiness, but I do want exuberant amount of confidence.
