oddball Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just a horrible decision to start Hiller so soon.Yeah I wanted to see him back obviously, but I would have held him out until Monday's game against the Avs. Emery and Ellis should have handled the Nashville/Chicago duties. Those games are too big. The Ducks shouldn't be giving points to them, but to the Avs it wouldn't have mattered all that much I guess. Now they need to win in Chicago and Colorado.I'm baffled by this theory. The guy who is the only reason you are sniffing the playoffs and you want to hold him out another game? That makes no sense. If he's healthy to play, then you play him. Why would you keep a healthy All-Star and possibly Vezina Trophy finalist on the bench when he's healthy. If you didn't think he was healthy enough to play, then why was he activated. Rust my behind. He just had a bad game, move on. But really if you are going to complain about this game and them starting Hiller, then what about all those other games he started and they lost? Hmmm... Hiller got you to where you are, and when he's healthy you put him back in. Ray Emery wouldn't even have a sniff of the NHL if the Ducks didn't have their starter injured and so many crappy goaltenders behind him in the minors. Yeah, he's caught lightening in a bottle, but what would you say if Emery started and got blasted like Hiller? I know what, "They should've started Hiller over Emery, because he's the guy who got us to this point. He's an All-Star." That's exactly what you and all the Duck fans would be saying if Hiller was benched and Emery got lit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to tell other fans about their teams when they watch their own teams' games and you don't. Sure Hiller got them where they are, but you don't start a guy in the biggest game of the season when he hasn't played in forever when your other goalie's been playing well and getting wins for you!

It's not like a arm injury or something, where you know when your 100%, but with Vertigo, it can come back and be very hard to cope with. oddball is a dick.

njmeadowlanders Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This is a wild 3rd period in Boston. The Rangers just won't let them score no matter how much pressure the B's put on them.(At least so they say on the radio...stuck at work unable to watch).

cameroncrazie07 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 If the Rangers hold on this game should be an example of how to play defense and goaltend late in games. This has been a great game. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because njmeadowlanders said that he's not sure if they were peaking too early, I said it would be huge if they could keep this up instead of faltering and being not hot going into the playoffs.And Brass97 that post about Lundqvist was him recording his league-leading 11th shutout.

IronChefShark Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sharks get a strong 4-1 win in Glendale and pad their lead in the Pacific.I got a question for those of you who have been to games in your respective markets in which the Sharks are the opponent. How well does Teal Nation travel?For obvious reasons there is always a strong Sharks contingent in LA, Anaheim, and Phoenix. However the local media coverage gives us the impression that there is a respectable number of Sharks fans on the road in places like Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, even Detroit, Calgary and Edmonton. So really, how well are the Sharks supported on the road in more "established" hockey markets? US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The Rangers are now 27-0-0 when leading after 2. They're the only team to not lose a game at all when doing so...that's phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The Leafs lose 4-2 to Detroit. Good by playoffs. Oh well. The game was closer then I thought it would be, and this season's been a marked improvement for the Leafs, playoffs or not.

They're the only team to not lose a game at all when doing so...that's phenomenal.That's amazing, considering how many of them were close games. That just shows what great defense and goaltending the Rangers have been playing late in games this season. If they could score more they'd be a top team. 14th in the NHL isn't bad, but if they were top 10, they's be dominant. Don't wanna be stating the obvious but it is true.
