NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
Here we are.
LA vs Chicago starts Saturday afternoon
Boston vs Pittsburgh starts Saturday night
Not only the last 4 champions, also the 4 teams that were on Iginla's list that he handed to the Flames. He must have known something.
Who you got?
And if the NHL can't get good ratings for these series and the final in America they never will. This has everything (best player in the world, defending champs, president trophy winners and Zdeno Chara). It will be wild!

I would generally think this favors the Hawks because they are pretty deep this year, but the way they were dragging around the ice tonight, all bets are off.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

The schedule is goofballs. Though I like the 8PM starts for the ECF.Steve of phpBB wrote:And LA vs Chicago continues Sunday evening. That's a brutal start.degenerasian wrote:Here we are.

If Detroit had won the WCF would have started Friday night in LA. The Rolling Stones are at the United Center on Friday night.rass wrote:The schedule is goofballs.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
I'm rooting for the Penguins because most of the Bruins fans on my Facebook feed are fucking terrible human beings. Plus, I love that town.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
Do I root for the Blackhawks because of the Playoff Pool or the Kings because I like them a slightly bit more? Only team I don't like is Boston, but the Penguins are my favorites so it wouldn't matter who they play anyway.
ETA - Seems like a pretty decent game so far.

It had to happen, both Torres and Cooke being suspended in the same playoffs.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
This series is getting really good. Bergeron and Malkin just got into a fight. Chara punched Crosby in the face (Crosby is no longer wearing the jaw-shield) and now Crosby is trash-talking Chara inviting him to fight!
End of 2nd period. 1-0 Boston.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
As much as I admire Sid's grit, it didn't go too well for the last captain from QMJHL's Rimouski Oceanic that tried that with Chara in a playoff game (Lecavalier).
Malkin taking down Bergeron in a scrap? Those two? Didn't see that coming.
Chicago has to do something about that ice. It was horrible again today; Stones or no Stones, terrible ice affects the game enormously. If this is the NHL's showcase, they simply must do better than that.

CBS Sports wrote:It all started with a scrum right in front of Crawford where the Kings' Kyle Clifford took down Michal Rozsival and then Colin Fraser gave a push to Jonathan Toews. Seeing that, Rozsival jumped back in and took on Fraser while Toews and Clifford got tangled up.
In a reversal of roles, Crawford took it upon himself to save his captain, grabbing Clifford around the head and pulling him away from Toews. That involvement is likely what drew Bernier from his crease but alas, no goalie fight ensued.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
I, for one, am shocked at the Bruins" domination, so far, of the Penguins. Didn't see that coming, at all!
The Kings are beat up and injuries are taking a toll. Both of their previous two series' were long and physical. Can't help but think that the Sharks would have had a much better chance against Chicago.

And it's not one issue. Pittsburgh is simply getting out-played at every single facet of the game.
If it does turn out to be original-six Boston -v- Chicago, we're all in for a heck of a treat.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
They've looked like garbage since the third period on Saturday. WTF do I know, but I think Bylsma pulled Vokoun too early last night. If there was any flicker at all, that fourth goal killed it, and now he has to spend the next two days dealing with goalie questions in addition to trying to do something about the rest of the team. On the plus side, I got to go to bed early last night.Scottie wrote:So are the Penguins.sancarlos wrote:I, for one, am shocked at the Bruins" domination, so far, of the Penguins.

West Final, Game Three:
26 guys in this game have Stanley Cup rings. Both teams playing brilliant situational hockey. This is a tremendous game. What a difference decent ice makes, eh? After that abnormally terrible ice in Chicago, that surface in LA looks fantastic. Commentators typically don't mention it but the line-changing has been utterly brilliant this evening.

Re: NHL Playoffs - The Final 4 - The Last 4 World Champions
Right up until LA inexplicably changed everybody with puck in neutral ice and Hawks in possession. Luckily for Kings, Hawks called for offsides to lose a great scoring chance.Scottie wrote:West Final, Game Three:

Boston's 4th line (which started the game) is controlling play better than Pittsburgh's 1st line.

This isn't an excuse or anything but . . . damn, that ice is terrible.
Imagine the outcry if NFL playoffs were played on a chewed up field.
Fucking hell, that's horrific ice.
When Los Angeles has the best ice in the final four, something is seriously out of joint.

The Pens have finally tilted the ice a bit (the PPs helped), but Boston still seems to get a decent chance every other time they get possession. Goal #2 is going to be a back breaker.
