they have a tough series coming up, nashville is playing really well. but then you have to in order to beat the red wings.

arizonadave 04-24-2012 07:56 PM

Mike Smith is playing well for the Yotes. All the overtime might take its toll,though.

slotdirt 04-24-2012 09:11 PM

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 04-25-2012 08:36 AM

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 04-25-2012 10:07 AM

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 04-25-2012 10:18 AM

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 04-25-2012 08:06 PM

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.

hoovesupsideyourhead 04-25-2012 08:22 PM

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

i am very happy with how things have turned out all things considered. fire a coach and hire another, injuries throughout the season-especially to nick and green-really didn't help. and now late with the goalie situation. holtby has been simply amazing in this series. the caps ought to be proud of how they've done.
but it'll still be a bitter pill to swallow if they don't advance with all the high hopes at the seasons' start.

i want the panthers to win and the sens, as i don't like the devils and i hate the rangers.
would be interesting if the top four seeds all go out first round, but i'd be surprised. i have a feeling nj pulls out the game 7 vs fla. rangers-who knows?

but please, please don't mush the caps.

Danzig 04-25-2012 08:33 PM

bah, announcers.:rolleyes: on the faceoff:


'peverly is gong to try to win this'.

you think so, doc?! really??

hoovesupsideyourhead 04-25-2012 08:40 PM

caps look tired..:mad:

MaTH716 04-25-2012 08:49 PM

Here you go Dani. PP with 9 mins left.

MaTH716 04-25-2012 08:52 PM

What a block by Seidenberg.

Danzig 04-25-2012 08:58 PM

yeah, my husband is laughing at me. my nerves!!

Danzig 04-25-2012 09:00 PM

you know, that's the third or fourth time one of our guys has gotten pushed after the whistle. but nothing done. the one on chimera earlier was a ridiculous non-call.
but, whatever, refs are refs and an easy target....for good reason.

Danzig 04-25-2012 09:01 PM

ha...and now we get a penalty?!?! effing unreal. and no raised arm til the crowd reacts. bulleffingshit.

MaTH716 04-25-2012 09:02 PM

Horrible call

Danzig 04-25-2012 09:05 PM

Danzig 04-25-2012 09:06 PM

MaTH716 04-25-2012 09:07 PM

Alright Dani (and whoever else wants to play), who's gonna be the hero?
Give me one Cap and one Bruin.

I'll take Semin for the Caps and Chris Kelly for the B's
