2011-2012 NHL playoff thread.

Nashville better be good this year because half their roster are unrestricted free agents this offseason.

He is not in playoff form.

Of course not, but listening to him for over 10 years on Ranger telecasts telling stories, and butchering names, I feel like I did, don't you?

One that comes to mind right away is future Ranger coach, Michel Bergerson. He was a tough cookie.

As good as Lundquist is, I'll take Rinne any day of the week.

[slotdirt]

Rinne was beyond outstanding in the Wings series (though they played some freaking dynamite defense as well). Rinne is also huge, which I think works in his favor considering how agile he is. How many 6' 4" goalies are there these days?

[MaTH716]

Lunqvist, Rinne and Quick the final 3 for the Vezina.

Every time I have tuned into the series, it seems like the Devils are absolutely dominating them. I have no idea how the Devs blew a 2-0 lead last night, let alone how it's going to a game 7.

[slotdirt]

I feel like the Devils have been blowing multiple goal leads in virtually every game of that series so far.

That's a bad one by Holtby. They need to get though the theses last 4 minutes of the 2nd without giving up another one.

yeah, all my yelling at the t.v. was to no avail...it got thru anyway.
i tell you, this has been one hell of a series. i know that people say the caps 'choke' but neither team has done that here. been a nail biter from game one.

[Danzig]

oh wow was the close from thomas!! yikes.

Unless they blow a lead late it's impossible to say that the Caps choked. They were a 7 seed coming in after playing very poorly the majority of the season. The fact that they are in game 7 vs the defending champs with their 3rd string goalie is pretty miraculous. Caps fans have to be pleased with the performance regardless of the outcome here.

so who are we rooting for in these game 7s ..me panthers..rangers caps..that may ultra mush them all
