Still MIGHTY Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Also, I know some of you will like this. Ryan Johansen on Ryan Kesler: “I mean he just blows my mind. I mean watching – I don’t know what’s going through his head out there but like his family and his friends watching him play? I don’t know how you cheer for a guy like that. It just doesn’t make sense how he plays the game, so I’m just trying to go out there and play hockey and it sucks when you gotta pull a stick out of your groin every shift.” You know how we cheer for him? Because he makes guys like you say things like that. Methinks Kesler is already in his head (and his groin, apparently) if he's saying stuff like that out to the press after the game. I love it haha | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 15 hours ago, Still MIGHTY said: Could easy be 2-0 Ducks also. I'm okay with things. I've always thought this was kind of a strawman attempt by fans to make themselves feel better about a loss. A one goal lead, plus an empty-netter is closer to a one-goal game than a true two goal one. With basically the same amount of play going the opposite direction, it could be 2-0, Nashville, right now. It's not as if the Ducks blew out the opposition, in Game 2. My point is that, especially in this case, "could be" is just wind. Neither team has really done anything to indicate they're better. Moving forward, Nashville has been really strong, at home. Then again, Anaheim has been almost as strong, on the road, these playoffs. Slight edge to Nashville...maybe. The only strong feeling I have, after 2 games, is that this series seems to indicate it's headed towards a game 7.

Still MIGHTY Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Well, yeah, but I'm a Ducks fan. I don't have to say it could be 2-0 Nashville My point is, like yours, it's a pretty even series and with a few things here, a few things there, they're anybody's games. It's just a matter of who does those few extra things three more times. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 That Penguins-Sens game was ugly. Sens couldn't get any offense going & Kessel's goal was an ugly one. Next game is going to be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWhiz96 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The Sens are playing late-90s hockey. We should have scored more than once, but I'll take the W. One thing's certain though, this will be at least a 6 game series, probably 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGM13 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I feel like a decent percentage of these goalie interferences is from Gibson flopping all over the ice. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Felt so cathartic to finally get that power play goal after those other goals being (rightfully) disallowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ducks played exactly how you'd want for two periods. Then played on their heels for the entire third in a one-goal game. It was never going to hold like that. Especially when you're defending, defending, defending, and you finally get behind the Preds net only to take a penalty. Inevitable. Preds were pressing hard, and the puck just couldn't get out of the zone. Even it up again on Thursday. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Gibson's effort was damn near herculean, but when you face 40 shots, some are bound to get in.

habsfan1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 So happy right now!!! Forsberg is quite a talent. Arvedsson not bad either. This is the 3rd round of the playoffs though against a team who could capitalize on any given opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 3rd round of the playoffs though against a team who could capitalize on any given opportunity. That entire first line can be deadly. All three haven't been on fire, at the same time, this series, though. That was one thing that really killed Chicago, in round 1. With as relatively even as overall play has been, the whole series may come down to five to seven key moments, where one team just capitalized better. Last night was a good game. All the call offs were legit. McLeod needs to be reined in, though. It was a stupid time to instigate. You don't send a message on a clean hit, in the neutral zone, during a tied playoff game. Stupid penalty that could have cost us more than it did.

BeerGuyJordan Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There's still a fair amount of hockey to be played. I think if you suggested, five weeks ago, that we'd be staring down the barrel of a Nashville v. Ottawa Final, most of the people here would have just laughed at you.

Unocal Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 A 2-1 lead in an NHL playoff series is no sure thing- see Toronto and Edmonton this year- but it's nice to have through 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
