monkeypower Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Re: the admiral. We don't have a HFBoards-like thread for reddit so this will have to do.I will lurk on the hockey subreddit on reddit to get some news or whatever people use reddit for. A new(?) hockey fan asks why your boys, the Hurricanes went from champs to unknowns. Some interesting answers.http://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/335xwk/how_did_the_hurricanes_go_from_a_stanley_cup_to/I found this part of an answer funny,The difference is that unlike Edmonton, or Buffalo, or wherever, I don't see the fanbase giving up. We're tired, we're frustrated, but the team WANTS to do well. You can see it. They skate hard with every team that they play. They trashed the Flyers, took STL to a shootout, and when they do lose, its usually by one goal. They want to win. We want them to win. It's just very hard when we have uncooperative *richardheads eating up $7M/year.*My edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wow, hard luck Sens. Down 3-0 and they could've won all three. They've played hard, been competitive, but have nothing to show for it.

pollux Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Habs win the game off of a blatant hand pass and I think I'm done with sports. How is a deflection off the bench stanchion a blatant hand pass? It was about 3 feet over Prust's head...

TorinK92 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 On the bright side, reverse sweeps don't seem to be as rare as they used to be these days. Anderson still definitely deserves the start in game 4. Habs win the game off of a blatant hand pass and I think I'm done with sports.How is a deflection off the bench stanchion a blatant hand pass? It was about 3 feet over Prust's head...NBC pretty much had the play on replay for about 5 minutes, it looked like it deflected off of his hand (which can reach a couple feet above his head btw). It could be the other way, but it looked convincing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 3 feet over Prust's head... NBC pretty much had the play on replay for about 5 minutes, it clearly deflected off of his hand (which can reach a couple feet above his head btw) I don't know what angle you've been looking at, but the one from Ottawa's end is showing the puck way above Prust, and not even close to his hand. It actually deflects back into before Prust even gets his hand up. I hope that four refs would get that one right (and they did).

chrysleraspen08 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Weise had a heck of a game, however I still don't know if it was worth trading Cameron Diaz to acquire him. Good job on that one Glenn Healy! https://vine.co/v/ezlx30ObQiJ Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19), MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I was watching the game on TVA, and the announcer said Ottawa scored first all three gamesLook where that's gotten them, haha. Should try letting the Habs score. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I was worried about Anderson being in goal tonight because I haven't forgotten about the last playoff meeting.Fortunately, the Habs were strong enough to prevail this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Maybe this year's Sens will be like last year's Kings.That's why I posted on twitter to not take the Sens lightly. The last 2 games were won in OT, with both teams being even-strengthed.Teams like that will take any chance they still have to try to win. Finishing them won't be easy.

HedleyLamarr Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Didn't Canadian fanbases once mock non-traditional hockey markets because of their fans doing The Wave during games?

NEW.ERA Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think the brawls are getting out of hand. But whatever, it wouldn't be the playoffs with out some hot garbage from Alex Burrows and Dan Hamhuis to boot. Sam Bennett and Michael Ferland are great, especially Ferland.
