Rite of Spring 2018-“What happens in the playoffs stays in the playoffs”

[masterchaoss 297]

Kings when the next 4 games. Expansion teams and their fanbases need to suffer first and they will. Also that Dougthydoughty suspension was the biggest piece of bull :censored: ive ever seen.

Pretty embarrassing.

 

Where on the doll did the Knights touch you?

Feels like Vegas is unstoppable. I don't know what it is.

Not really. 

Both games have been razor thin close. 

 

Despite being up 2-0 in the series, it doesn’t really feel like Vegas have control. At least not as much as you would think. 

It still seems like the series could go either way, especially with the change of venue for Game 3. 

 

I’ll honestly be shocked if this doesn’t go 6 or 7 games.

The Knights won the division and made the playoffs in the first season ever. No matter what, they're not "suffering" this year. That ship has sailed.

Question: why is smashing your stick on the goal DURING PLAY like this crybaby https://streamable.com/l1dv9 not an unsportsmanlike penalty?

Jeez, it was a miracle we got everybody there mostly on time for pick drop. One step at a time! (Seriously, there was an accident at the Orange Crush.)

 

But yeah, that happens when the team isn’t generating much of anything and you get three goals scored on you in 8 minutes. What exactly would you have liked us to “get lively about”?

 

Anyways. Flush it. Play again Saturday.

 

I don't know. Something. Anything. I could only recall one point when the Sharks were up 2-0 when it sounded more akin to the playoff crowds I'd expect. No, I'm not expecting them to be like Winnipeg or hell even Vegas (as odd as that is) but I thought Anaheim controlled the pace in the first and expected more excitement. But yea, I recently visited The Bruery and we passed by Honda and I could believe traffic was a pain.

Because Sidney Crosby. Because Pittsburgh Penguins.

Not exactly standing in awe of the Perds so far. They handled their business but not that convincingly.

Oh haven’t you heard? Sidney Crosby isn’t allowed to make mistakes. Whatever he did I’m sure it was completely justified. 

[Bruins 1,357]

Avs put up one heck of a gutsy fight there, just wouldn't go away. I'll be shocked if they don't come away with game 3, cause they're giving the NHL's best a serious run for their money, aside from, you know actually winning hockey games. Good on 'em though. A quick side note OHMYGOD DO NASHVILLE FANS EVER SHUT UP. EVER. EVER. Goalie chants and the word suck are supposed to be used s p a r i n g l y, at the right place and right time, like after the goalie allows 3 unanswered goals or so, not after EVERY FREAKING GOAL. You can't build actual rivalries when you hate everyone at max capacity. Such painful games to watch, thank god it's going to Colorado for a spell.

No, they don't, the list of behaviors distributed to fans before each game explicitly says never to shut up. If you're not doing what the sheet of paper tells you to do, how will people know what good fans you are?

[SabresRule7361 553]

I’m not a Leafs fan, but this playoff format is seriously unfair.

 

You’re gonna cannibalize strong divisions.

 

Toronto and Boston should be playing lesser teams for a shot at each other in round 2.

 

Meanwhile, Philly and Columbus benefit from playing in a not as strong division

Preach it, man! I also hate fun!

[SabresRule7361 553]

The Bruins are literally trying to win with ONE line.

 

Who needs depth?

I dunno it seems to be working so far.

Bruins are just trying to show they forgive Kadri by doing their best to give him a headstart on the offseason over his teammates.

Anaheim easily has the worst goal horn in the league. Such a low frequency that you can barely hear it
