NHL playoffs 2011 thread

[kt]

I don't really need to show much of anything. The league decided it was enough to warrant a suspension and Erat isn't even traveling to Anaheim due to the hit.

As for Tootoo, I honestly missed it because you guys were whipping our asses by the time that happened so I was in bed.

Here you go, Tootoo's attempt on Lydman's head.

Nothing but intent on Tootoo's part. Only reason Lydman didn't get injured is because he saw it coming at the last second and ducked his head. Erat got injured because he was caught admiring his own pass and didn't pay attention.

NHL is officially a joke now in regards giving out suspensions. Torres walks away with no suspension on his hit on Seabrook and Ruutu gets 1 game suspension for this?

I agree, especially since it was most likely a shoulder or arm injury, not a concussion or head injury.

I guess we can know that if a player injures another player, with an otherwise non-suspendable hit, that we'll see a suspension? I would venture to guess no.

Could be a broken clavicle.

 

[SP33Demon]

Away teams winning under what conditions? Down 3-1?

No, just overall how many roads wins vs home this year in the playoffs. I know it has to be more than half.

To me, the clavicle is part of the shoulder as it helps the shoulder/arm move. But does it really make a difference what part of his upper body is hurt?

Home vs Road Teams through the playoffs so far is 12-12

Just counted them up with a quick glance at ESPN, so I might be wrong.

 

[sjwaste]

Brian Boucher is so bad.

 

[Dominato3r]

At least the Flyers are still playing after 3 goals allowed.

 

[SP33Demon]

And Miller proves the critics right about being too aggressive. 6 feet out of the net, wow. Hope he continues it for another 3 goals.

Not bad at all if true. Seemed like road teams have been winning a lot this year.

Tied up MFers!!!

 

[BrokenVisage]

Hartnell for the game winner, you heard it here first. GO FLYERS!

 

[n7]

Don't like the way the game is going...right now it looks like another Flyer win to me, which means they'll win the series. D:

Sabres HAVE to win this to have a chance to win the series.

 

[SP33Demon]

Well the advantage has shifted to Buffalo now, since they can steal this game on one shot after not deserving to win. They were horrid in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[n7]

yes!

Sabres win!

 

[SP33Demon]

And Philly loses to a bunch of midgets. There goes their Cup run for this year. Hopefully they can win the next game to spoil it for both teams.

Buffalo and Philly were equal in the 3rd. It was the 2nd where we saw the classic Buffalo "We're up by 2+ so let the other team have their way" Sabres.

Anyway, they won despite yet again having fewer PPs than Philly. Hilarious when the Flyers were complaining about the refs.

Let's Go Buffalo! Finish it out in Buffalo Sunday!

 

[JujuFish]

On a side note, can the Sabres secretly steal JVR? I'm sure no one in Philadelphia will notice.

Meh, you blow a 3 goal lead in any game and you don't deserve to win in my book. Just ask LA or NY. Buffalo bucked the trend.

Preds need to win this one tonight and can't let the Ducks hang around with that offense.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Fucking bullshit rebound goal AGAIN wins it for those talentless <snips>! UGH

On the flip side, one could argue that if you go down by 3 goals you don't deserve to win.

Tootoo tried to jab his face with his left fist, it wouldn't have hurt him that bad had it landed. No more than any hockey fight with the gloves off.

Preds still up 1-0.

With Brian Boucher in goal, that would be a true statement!

 

[Fingolfin269]

Perry being Perry. What a douche. 'Oh I'll hit you when you're not looking and then run away.'

 

[Fingolfin269]

Wow that was one of the best goals I've ever seen.
