I know plenty of us have got teams in the running still, so thought I'd make a thread to share pics/videos/anger/etc.

I`m still physically pained by the monkey`s court that was last night`s game. Ridiculous, awful playing.
This is the strongest the Canucks have been since the West Coast Express but they`re back to their old tricks, playing tight and smart all season and then choking when it counts. The dazed faces in the crowd at Rogers Arena yesterday expressed perfectly the general feel of the city today: how do you even react to such a display, where questionable refereeing was overshadowed by slipshod ice play, questionable lineup calls, and the inability to handle the puck?
Jesus, it`s just brutalizing. Get it together boys. :(
I hope they give Schneider a chance to start in the next game. Not that Luongo was the only problem - there was some terrible terrible defense, especially on (if I'm remembering right) Hossa's powerplay goal where he basically skated untouched past four men and just popped it in. Everyone just seemed to be playing at half speed.
Hossa - former Winterhawk :smug:
Officially I am rooting for the Sharks, hometown team. :dance
Thank you, Michael Ryder...now get your ass back to Boston so I can buy you a drink for this!
:eee
oh man, Dee, the Bruins were fuckin` BALLIN. What a game - edge of your seat kind of match.
Word is Luongo`s starting game 6 - which, argh, whatever, fine; I just hope there`s sense enough to pull him at the first sign of trouble because he`s off his game. It happens, but there`s no reason to keep playing him in that state when Schneider`s there.
Also ha, yeah, what was up with the defense? It didn`t exist! Haha I just started laughing in the third when two of the `Nuck`s players fell down while the bastard Blackhawks made an orchestrated rush for a 6th goal.
The Sedins put up a scramble at the last but even they were dazed. Half speed, just like you say.
Here`s hoping they shake the dust off and get over it for Sunday.
Also, where was the physical presence from the first 3 games? Not enough good hits.
Alright, consider my support for the Winterhawks withdrawn!!Quote:

Pretty accurate summary of last night:
^ Is it just me, or does it look like the Nucks have been infiltrated by Nicholas Cage? :|
Liz! I know! They had my damned heart in a vice the entire time!
I think you may have something there, Jace...frightening thought, that.
Oh! And congratulations are in order - the finalists for the Vezina Trophy have been announced:
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks
Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators
Tim Thomas, Boston Bruins
(oh, Tim :love)

That is all.

Almost! It's on at half past midnight :)
Also, :wave Rangers.
Brandon Dubinsky - Former Winterhawk :smug:
Well they got knocked out, but he's still awesome.
*does a happy hockey dance*
The sports gods are seriously smiling on Boston right now...please let it continue!!!
>_< asdiasldkjalskdjslkj game 7
SOUL IS DESTROYED.
Auuugh sis, man, this is painful. I'd hate to be Bobby Lou comin' home right now, you know he's going to be taking a lot of heat.
Cory Schneider: "Just cramped up real bad... I seized up and I couldn't continue after that. It was real frustrating."
Well, at least he isn't injured. If you're feeling masochistic, here's the OT goal:
Luongo's belly flop... :dood:
Still aches. Oh god, now we have to beat the game 7 curse. Its a bit like torture, having to wait and yet its going to nearly unbearable having to watch, too. :ohno
I'll be back at work so I won't be able to watch game 7 live :(
EDIT:
"Lu is playing tomorrow...We've got to try and stay in the moment and that's one game. If we win, everything will be forgotten." Coach Vigneault confirms Luongo will start Game 7.
Ah. Ah. Ahhhh. :ohno
fffffffffffffffffff
Momentum! :ohno
Well I'm 0 for 2 on my picks tonight. I had Buffalo and Boston...
Hopefully my faith in Vancouver's choke ability is well placed....
Let's go Hawks...
Our shot was Game 6. This has just been a butt whipping. Poor Sabres.
dammit... guess it's a good thing I didn't put anything more then dinner down on tonights games...
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
DAMMIT, BOSTON! WTF is wrong with all of you?
Jannik Hansen - former Winterhawk :smug:
And also
Brayden Coburn - former Winterhawk :smug: go Flyers!
HEADING HOME FROM CELEBRATING . LIFE IS AMAZING. YEAHHHHH CANUCKS, BRING IT ON HOME. :dance
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!
Fuck you, Chelsea Dagger!
I couldnt take the pressure and had to stop watching when Blackhawks tied it up.
My daughter and neice were both at the game.
GOOOOOOOOOOO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take that, you Habs fans!
Tampa, I applaud you!
Also, we got our own 'history' ad :D
So.... what's everyone's predictions?
East:
WAS vs TB
BOS vs PHI
West:
VAN vs NSH
DET vs SJ
I'm taking WAS, BOS, VAN and DET, but I think any of the series could go either way.
Purely based on personal and proxy loyalties: TB, BOS, VAN, SJ (ugh this is hard, I hate both).
Tampa Bay, Boston, Vancouver, and San Jose: because Lightning and Sharks are cooler names than Capitals... and the Red Wings suck.
:colbert
Your boys had better whoop them Flyers good, Dee. Make David Boreanaz cry! :shakefist
East:
WAS vs TB - TB in 7
BOS vs PHI - BOS in 6
West:
VAN vs NSH - VAN in 6
DET vs SJ - SJ in 7
The Sharks are my hometown team so I'm pulling for them, of course.
I just learned about Sky High in San Jose and am marginally more stoked on the city because it sounds incredible. :3

(this message fueled by too much tequila and the "I'm still clinging to hope for Perry for Hart Trophy" brigade*)
All I can say about tonight is :colbert
The only consolation is that I`m going to the Yukon tomorrow and can take my shame to the isolated wilds, where it will no doubt fester and rot until such time as we redeem ourselves.
Seriously. Freaking Nashville?? This is retribution for not running the Rock `n` Roll Marathon there, isn`t it?
Technically it's not Nashville. It is their god like goalie. The mans a freak of nature.:lolQuote:

As our agent in Canada, Liz: if we get another bullshit OT game again, I'm holding you personally responsible for finding the team and stomping on their jewlies. :mad
I can't take many more of these uber-long stressful games. :cry
Why would I injure them? That would only hinder their game! D=
Believe in blue, they`ll come through!
... What? No seriously, they will. :ohdear
I just don't think our hearts in the game yet. There isn't the history and emotion there was with Chicago. Once we get a few games in and some animosity has developed, I think we'll improve.
I'll take TB, BOS, VAN, and SJ, with the fervent hope that it comes down to BOS & VAN in the end...which would be EPIC.Quote:

Incidentally, I feel like we need to flatten the Preds just to get some justice for Sarah and the Ducks.
At the moment, the Sharks look like the best team remaining.
So far the series leaders are -
VAN - 2 to 1
TB - 3 to 0
SJ - 2 to 0
BOS - 2 to 0

Yes well. We said that last year and had a 3-0 series lead and look what happened >.<
I will be praying fervently between now and Friday night.
Maybe now the league will stop trying to act like Ovechkin is some kinda megastar. Good job, Tampa!
:eee :eee :eee :eee :eee :eee :eee :eee :eee
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take that and shove it, you worthless Flyers fans that harassed me in Boston today. FUCK YOU, ya dumb bastards.
:cry
If only they had played the whole 3rd period like they did the last 3 minutes. Damn. :(
Friggin` Kessler, though. Right on, my brother. :love
Kesler is a beast.
Fuck that flukey goal off of Edler's glove. Peka Rinne is the only thing keeping the Preds in this.
No wonder he's so awesome. Have you seen what his hockey stick is called? :ohnoQuote:

The Bruins/Lightning game last night was something else.
Watched the highlights this morning and am really gla d we recorded it so I can watch. After hearing the score and seeing the teasers, I`m really looking forward to watching - more than Game of Thrones, even!
Tyler Seguin is *something else*....was SO amazing to watch!!!! I'm currently trying to leverage a kidney to get tickets to a game.
I love you Dee, but when our teams are facing each other in the finals...
Well. You know. ;)
Ohhh, I know ;)
And I wouldn't have it any other way, darlin'
:cool no way Jose
I just watched the highlights from last nights Boston/Tampa game.. such a fun series to watch.
And hooray, today the game is on at an hour I don't have to stay up late to watch it! :dance Let's see what we've learned..

Dasq which network do you have to watch the hockey games on? Do you get the CBC?
I have a subscription to the ESPN Center Ice online package, so I can watch games on demand :)
https://www.espnplayer.com/espnplayer/nhl
The feeds they use vary from game to game, depending on who's playing, but the quality is generally pretty good.
