the admiral 29,092 Posted April 12, 2015 It's just about time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or as they're being called in 2015, the reverse-reverse tank. Missing this year: The NHL's Best Fans The NHL's Best Contrasting Nameplates The NHL's Best Wife-Beaters The NHL's Best Jumbotron Smartass The NHL's Best Slackers pending the result of tonight's games, possibly The NHL's Best Player Naked pictures of Joffrey Lupul And yet with all these things missing, somehow this is still shaping up to be a postseason to remember! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Six 761 Posted April 12, 2015 Too bad a good composer like Scriabin didn't write the Rite of Spring, then the title of this thread would be cooler. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanMcD29 861 Posted April 12, 2015 Nothing beats the 2013 use of Spoon's "The Underdog"Also sweet missed opportunity with the McDavid tank thread for not using any use of Treble Charger's "Brand New Low" or Billy Talent's line of "cause being great must suck" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBTV 20,915 Posted April 12, 2015 I have no interest in this thread but had to chime in because really regret not seeing sleater Kinney this February. I went to the box office the day they went on sale (on-sale date was same night as a Sylvan Esso show - highly recommended) and they literally LOLd when I asked about SK tix. They sold out on-line in roughly 10 mins. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic 6,503 Posted April 12, 2015 Too bad a good composer like Scriabin didn't write the Rite of Spring, then the title of this thread would be cooler. I like Scriabin a lot, but how can you not respect Stravinsky?One of the most famous opening nights in history! Edit: Alternate title for the thread in here somewhere: "Then," Stravinsky told his biographer, "when the curtain opened on the group of knock-kneed and long-braided Lolitas jumping up and down, the storm broke." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorinK92 314 Posted April 12, 2015 With Montreal getting at least a point, an Ottawa - Montreal series is officially going to happen. It also confirms a Tampa - Detroit seriesThe two playoff series left to be determined will be decided by the Anaheim - Arizona game.Edit: Washington gets home ice over the Isles as well, everything in the East has been decided. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SabresRule7361 553 Posted April 12, 2015 The last game with any real significance is ANA/PHO. That determines the 1-2 West seed order and who plays Winnipeg/Minnesota. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sportstar1212 447 Posted April 12, 2015 It's going to feel weird seeng the Bruins not there. I'll be pulling for the Rangers and Ducks, I guess. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twi 380 Posted April 12, 2015 Really liking that the Lightning's road to the ECF would be Detroit and then one of Montreal/Ottawa. Shades of '04 when two great match ups in the first two rounds paid dividends later on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkeypower 3,123 Posted April 12, 2015 I think it's the Hab's. Pernell Karl says he farts in the crease to keep forwards away. But he is doing it in Price's face so I don't know how well it works. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 29,092 Posted April 12, 2015 Eastern Conference playoff field ends up being the customary 1-8, 4-5, 2-7, 3-6. The West, however, is 1-7, 6-8, 2-5, 3-4. Divisional rivalries matter (except when you play 32 games outside the conference)! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
