The nucks are a hard to team to knock out for sure, but their performance is less than stellar. The fact they have the capacity to dominate is irrelevant, they are showing veerrrrrrrrry little to be happy with. Luongo actually played pretty good though
I'm enjoying the playoffs so far, missed the brackets, but I was mostly trying to figure out who the final four would be.
My guess from last week was Philly vs New York and Nash vs St. Louis (I am not a total homer and won't even consider the wings to make it to the conference finals)
Anybody else see that cheap ass hit by Torres last night? Right in front of the Blackhawks bench too...if I had been there, my ass would have been over the boards beating the living shit out of him.
*note, I'm not a blackhawks fan, but a hockey fan and hits like that have no place in the sport*
The reality of it its, every team has headhunters. I think its extremely dirty, mostly because we know Torres had extreme intent given his record. That being said, youre still fighting for playoffs. The ten minute misconduct last night was a warning that retaliations arent tolerated.
Quenville did the right thing by telling his boys to stay in the game, didn't work for them but the series isn't over. Torres needs a penalty for the hit, and a suspension for his character and record.

Definitely a cheap shot, but 25 game suspension? Christ, it's not like it was that illegal of a hit.
Would be nice to see Blues sweep LA but I think youre dead wrong about Washington. BTW Flaz I like the new profile pic did you hear about the new Dark Tower novel yet?
I'm done trying to pick winners, might as well just be picking the losers!
Funny how all the top ranked teams in the west won except Vancouver, and the bottom ranked teams in the east except for NY.. Interesting hockey for sure :-)
Yea the Rangers were cloggin it up just well enough for most of the forechecking. Through the first 10 minutes I really couldn't see NJ not scoring 2 or 3 goals with all the pressure they were applying.
