SinceThe70s Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 An Islander fan wonders who's up next. Playoff hockey is unparalleled. Can't wait for the next round. 1
Helpmenow Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I have a feeling both Stanley cup teams from last yr will be out.
njbuff Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 If Carolina wins.......... there will literally be an obscure champion this year.
T&C Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Good thing I'm calling out tomorrow, draft and all... only way I'd be able to watch this one to the end.
BillsFan4 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I don’t know how Washington didn’t get called for a delay of game penalty in that first overtime. That was 100% a delay of game. The puck was shot before it left the caps zone. Officiating has been kind of bad this postseason.
T&C Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I don't have a dog in the race anymore but I'm going to root for Columbus just for the fact that they shut down Tampa like it was just a bump in the road. Plus, it shut up the lightning fans I have to work with every work day lol. 1
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 from ESPN: The Washington Capitals' double-overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes means that, for the first time since the 1967 NHL expansion, no division champion won a playoff series. The Capitals, Tampa Bay Lightning, Nashville Predators and Calgary Flames were all eliminated in the first round. 1
/dev/null Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Well damn Carolina would have been my preference, but their owner is the douche canoe that f*cked the AAF Boston, Dallas, New York, and San Franshitco (San Jose) teams. Won't root for any of those Columbus is a rival of the Pens I guess I'll root for Colorado meh

row_33 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 why do obviously playoff-bound teams try so hard in the regular season, it means worse than nothing trying in the regular season is only for: 1) teams that are truly struggling to eke out that last playoff spot 2) teams where winning is such a novelty that the fans love the party of their team actually playing hard almost every game 3) those epic teams that really can't help but win even if they put 10% effort into a game, they have to literally throw the game away, like pull Peyton and put Painter in the game to throw it away home advantage doesn't mean much if the "visiting team" has preserved energy

I don’t think it would be that much of of an upset, I haven’t looked yet but I’d guess the jackets are +130 or close to it. It should be a good series. I like the Jackets here too, Chara looks exhausted. The jackets are physical and the Bruins just finished a 7 gamer. If they steal a road game tonight it would be huge for them.
row_33 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 The Bruins are masters picking the right moment to exert energy and more importantly, when to slack off and call a game a loss and get ready for the next one.
