Hockey Talk

So, I think we can all agree that yesterday was a damn good day in hockey (at least for those hockey fans I associate with, sorry for you Columbus fans…do Columbus fans even exist?)

@Brock that Blackhawks win, doe! That was a fucking great game. Literally one of the better playoff games I’ve seen, this St. Louis v. Chicago match-up is just BEAUTIFUL! And CRAWWWFORRRRD WAS BEAST! I don’t know how the hell he made some of the saves he did, but kudos to him. They better continue this ish. Now…enough about their good game because I hate the Hawks.

@HammerTime I was NOT expecting that game to go into overtime! I didn’t watch much of it but it was a damn good effort by the Wild, and sending what…46? shots at the net. Varlamov is fucking beast, your team just needs to keep sending that many pucks towards him and hope to beat him like they did last night. And keep the Avalanche from getting near their net, I think they allowed only 19 shots on goal…I hope they beat the Avs. I pray to the hockey gods that they do.

@MrXercules has to be fucking ecstatic. And I’m pretty freaking happy for you, even though I picked Anaheim over Dallas. Lehtonen with a shutout over the Ducks! That’s gotta be a huge confidence booster to him, was a good day for the Stars. But that Robidas injury…ouch.

Anyone watch that Pittsburgh v. Columbus game??? Was pretty amazing. Penguins had way more SOG, with like 21 against 10 late the 1st period. Jackets eventually went up 3-1 after a 2-0 lead in the first. Then Pittsburgh rallies back in the 3rd period and scored 3 goals on 3 shots in 2:10ish. I’m a happy camper. I’d be a happier camper if Detroit destroys Boston tonight.

Ohh one more thing @Brock Hjalmarsson needs to get away from the front of the net, one of these days he’s going to block a shot and it’s not going to be a simple “I’ll take a 2 min rest on the bench.”

Game 1: Sharks 6, Kings 3
Game 2: Sharks 7, Kings 2

I’m definitely a happy camper. My team senses blood in the water, time to finish the job in Los Angeles.

As for yesterday’s results, I hope Chicago can keep it up because I despise St. Louis, mainly because their success pushed the Sharks out of higher seeds, we swept our season series with them but the home rink advantage would have been nice.

Those Pens though…jeez lol

@SpicVanDyke I honestly was not expecting the Sharks to dominate that strongly and am quite upset because I picked the Kings over the Sharks. Clearly a shit move on my part, but congrats to your team.

Honestly I would have been on your side if I was not a Sharks fan because not only do the Kings match up well with our team but the Sharks aren’t the best when it comes to the postseason. But our mix of rookies and veteran players have been really showing up, assisting each other beautifully.

Biggest surprise is the less than stellar play from Johnathan Quick. He pretty much dominated us in the semi finals last year, making awesome saves. The Game 2 win, we had 40 SOG to the Kings 26 which is really huge. Regardless, the Kings can come back especially since they are at home now. Just need to steal a game in San Jose.

STOKED ABOUT THE STARS

That Nichushkin goal was beautiful.

It should be noted that in the last 13 games between Los Angeles vs San Jose in San Jose, the Sharks are 12-1.

In the last 11 games between LA and SJ in Los Angeles, the Kings are 10-1.

#CROW!

That was a phenomenal shutout performance. Such a great game, such a great series. And @KillerPonies69, blocking shots is what Hjalmarsson does! He ain’t stopping (unless its the puck – he’s stopping that)

Well then, I guess home advantage really does matter in this series.

KP’s Wings right now…

@MrXercules I swear to god if you talk shit I will bitch rage like you’ve never seen. Actually I’m trying to not give a fuck…but it’s really hard. It shouldn’t be right to be this attached to a sports team. WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH?!?! I might be angry, but I have absolutely no sympathy. You put shit in, you get shit out.

@SpicVanDyke That Sharks win. Goddamit they’re killing me. What the hell is going on with the Kings??? At least they took the game to OT.

@MrXercules I seriously want someone to take my blood pressure during a hockey game. I bet it would be outrageously high, like 160/40…

April 23rd, 2014

@KillerPonies69 I feel you, watching sports is the only time I ever get mad. Also I wonder how much the blood pressure would increase during OT…

April 23rd, 2014

And then the Sharks said to the Kings: “Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom” and proceeded to eat away at their hopes of advancing to the next round. :)

April 23rd, 2014

@Brock Not even OT, the shootout. I dread shootouts. I probably don’t breathe during the entire thing until it’s over. I remember one of the Wings games went to like a 10 round shootout or some ish. Was a bad night for me haha. But I think they won, can’t remember. Congrats to your Hawks!

@SpicVanDyke Yeah, my hopes of the Kings beating the Sharks has completely disappeared. Oh well.
