All things 2014 Playoffs

Selanne is a healthy scratch tonight. Poor guy, that's gotta kill him.

Spezza for Selanne imminent?

We will probably need to throw in Lazar.

Sounds awfully familiar.

All you cronies were really far off.  I just about nailed it.  Cooke gets 7 games.

Columbus win in OT! Crazy play to get the goal. FOLIGNO!

2-2 Series tied.

Fleury's pretty much finished at this point. One single bad break and he chokes.

Pittsburgh was brutal after the first. Maf has to be better but his team bailed on him

They don't have any structure, I think Bylsma is an awful coach.

Who said Anaheim was gonna roll over Dallas again?

Anaheim was completely overrated. Steve Lloyd had a massive stiffy for them going into the playoffs. They have no d, basically one offensive line, and a rookie goalie.

Yeah they were rolling because of Getzlaf and Perry carrying the load. Dallas is just a way better constructed team for a playoff series.

Who is dominating the playoffs so far: Jonathan Toews, Jamie Benn, Ryan Getzlaf, Brendan Dubinsky, Brendan Gallagher, Ryan Johansen...

Who is not a good leader on that least?
I'm watching this game, the Hawks look awfully flat for several minutes, Toews decides to take over around the boards, the Hawks score and the whole team has been dominating St-Louis ever since.
And some people actually claim that the play of the captain should not affect what the others do...

The only people who say the "everyone leads.  leaders are not the end all and be all.  we need other guys to step up when it matters too" those are all quotes from losers.  Having a leader in hockey is one of the most important things a team can have.   But hey, don't tell that to a Spezza fan.

Feels good for Foligno. Fleury being Fleury on that OT winner. People are blaming him for the tying goal, which makes no sense....the puck just took a bad bounce over his stick...he couldn't have done anything else. But the OT winner is 100% on him. If I'm Pittsburgh, I come back with Vokoun or whoever.

The East really sucks, which just makes Ottawa missing the playoffs even harder to take. If Boston doesn't win the East, they f'd up.
