Western Conference Quarterfinals Gamethread

[Greg29fan]

The ref was mighty patient with the whistle there.  They usually blow it dead and the goalie gets the benefit of the doubt.

 

[kenneycb]

And down goes Dallas.

 

[Boston Brawler]

That was quick.

Ref made the right call. The puck was never covered.
 
Goodbye Dallas.

Now the Ducks can hope the Sharks and Kings beat each other up a bit more.  Either way, they don't have to leave California.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Three points in six games for Seguin, and only one goal. Soft on D, as well. One of these years, he's going to need to stop "just missing" in the playoffs. He had like 40-50 shot attempts.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Seguin has more time to get hammered now

 

[Ed Hillel]

When the series ends, the shots are only beginning. Go get those Texas MILFs, Tyler!
 
Those chicks next to Tony Romo are a good place to start.
 
Edit - Haha, I thought Romo was Paul Rudd.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Better question: why is that brunette totally eye-fucking Tony Romo? Are standards that low in Texas?

 

[Red Right Ankle]

I ain't saying she's a gold digger but...

Well, the guy behind Romo is eye-fucking him, too. Do the math.

 

[cshea]

Sounds like Alex Stalock will be in net for the Sharks tonight. Panic button firmly pressed?

[cshea]

Duchene returns for the Avs tonight.

 

[mascho]

Wild with an early PP, and then a goal, less than a minute in.

 

[mascho]

And the first of what I expect will be a bunch of post-whistle scrums.  

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Soft goal given up by Varlamov.  2-0 Wild

 

[cshea]

Big swing. Wild had 1:07 of 2-man advantage time, and as the first penalty expires, the Avs clear it to Stastny coming out of the box and he buries the breakaway. 2-1 Wild. 

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Huge turnaround in Minny as the Wild fail to score in a shortened 5 on 3 (the 2nd penalty was the worst rule in sports), and the Avs spring Statsny for a breakaway goal coming out of the box.

 

[Spaulding Smails]

Suter couldn't have picked a worse time to heel a one-timer.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

This is going to be a fun game

 

[The Napkin]

Kings up 1 about 6 minutes in. How's that goalie change working out for you, Sharks?

 

[cshea]

Justin Williams, 1-0 LA. Great pass from Doughty. 

 

[TFP]

Tie game in Minnesota as well. 

 

[cshea]

Clifford and Desjardins go at it. Don't see that too often in playoff hockey. San Jose trying everything in the books to change momentum. 

 

[TFP]

Jesus MacKinnon is fast.

 

[cshea]

Stalock is keeping this within reach for the Sharks. All Kings so far. 

 

[Zososoxfan]

Kings sharks has been riveting the last 5 mins or so

 

[sachmoney]

Knee aside, Thornton has been very strong so far. Trying to will his team to victory. Stalock has been the star thus far though.

 

[cshea]

Of course both games are going to go to intermission at the same time. 

 

[The Napkin]

Kings up 1 about 6 minutes in. How's that goalie change working out for you, Sharks?

 I guess pretty good all things considered

 

[sachmoney]

Of course both games are going to go to intermission at the same time. 

The scheduling today has been awful. 

 

[cshea]

San Jose getting a 5-on-3 for 1:38 here. 
 
Edit: They kill it. Doughty, Kopitar and obviously Quick were huge. 

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

And they didn't do anything with it

 

[Ed Hillel]

There really are no better playoffs in pro sports. The unpredictability in these 7-game series year after year is remarkable.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

LA doing some great killing after taking lazy stick penalties.

 

[The Napkin]

all that work on the pkill and then that. that's gonna hurt.

 

[cshea]

The corpse of Marty Havlat ties things up. 

 

[Fred in Lynn]

LA doing some great killing after taking lazy stick penalties.

I'll stop posting now.

 

[The Napkin]

Wild take the lead with 6 and change left. Good times.

 

[TFP]

Parise puts Minny up 3-2 with a phenomenal tip.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Beautiful tip by Parise

 

[TFP]

What's over/under on Roy pulling the goalie? I say 2:30 left.

 

[cshea]

Over

 

[The Napkin]

offensive draw? now

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

2.44

 

[TFP]

Boom there it is.

 

[The Napkin]

ha. and here he comes.

 

[The Napkin]

wow, that was a good look. can't miss wide there.
