Western Conference Quarterfinals Gamethread

[Dropkick Izzy]

Not sure why the announcers are giving out handies.  That pass needed more pace and the shot was right in Kuemper's chest. 

 

[cshea]

Drew Doughty ties it on the PP. 

 

[durandal1707]

What an awful call. Guy skated into Couture's elbow.

 

[mabrowndog]

Thornton once again proving to be no obstacle.
 
Two tie games.

 

[mabrowndog]

What an awful call. Guy skated into Couture's elbow.

 
Agreed. And he clearly embellished the head jerk well after the meager incidental contact.

 

[cshea]

McLellan appears to have made the correct goalie choice. Niemi has been fantastic. 

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Holy shit what a save by Quick
 
yeah no way that was in

 

[mabrowndog]

What a save by Quick. 

 

[cshea]

Holy crap, what a save by Quick. 

 

[The Napkin]

holy Quick

 

[durandal1707]

Quick, wow.

 

[kenneycb]

What a...Quick...glove.

 

[The Napkin]

wow. thta's close...

 

[PedroSpecialK]

LOL love the zoom into the back left corner of the net

 

[The Napkin]

not all the way over

 

[kenneycb]

Where are the NFL announcers to describe what indisputable video evidence is?

 

[mabrowndog]

LOL Sharks. Way to hold it in --- NOT.

 

[kenneycb]

GJGE by Irwin on that PP. Think I counted three shots blocked.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow, they are really calling that?

 

[cshea]

Come on, put the whistles away. 

 

[BoSoxFink]

Goalies have been great in this one

 

[kenneycb]

Thought Pavelski had 5 hole there.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

This just in: Jon Quick still drives a truck

 

[mabrowndog]

Stastny. Avs lead.

 

[sachmoney]

Paul Stastny scores big goal after big goal after big goal.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What the fuck are the refs doing?

 

[kenneycb]

Thornton has had about four turnovers on the last two PPs.

 

[cshea]

The Sharks failing to capitalize on the 3 straight power plays may come back to haunt them. 

 

[PedroSpecialK]

NIEDERREITER! 

 

[mabrowndog]

Kopitar. Holy crap.

 

[cshea]

And there it is, Kopitar.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Easy peasy Kopitar.

 

[BoSoxFink]

I fucking love Anze Kopitar. He and Toews are my favorite players in the league.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Lots of shit going down

 

[cshea]

Torts apparently out in Vancouver, according to TSN. 

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Torts apparently out in Vancouver, according to TSN. 

 
Farhan Lalji has it as well

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sharks crowd all of a sudden sound like they're in church. 

 

[sachmoney]

I would really like overtime from one of these games.

 

[Manzivino]

I've been sticking with the Avs-Wild game, have they shown the '04 Red Sox graphic on NBCSN yet? The best part of any team forcing a Game 7 after being down 3-0.

 

[mabrowndog]

Shit, missed the tying goal for MIN by Niederreiter.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Wowww Johnson

 

[cshea]

What a miserable job by Scandella-Brodin. 

 

[BoSoxFink]

Kuemper never saw it

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Clean too!  What a thread job by Parenteau!

 

[mabrowndog]

That was some sweet puck movement.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

...McGinn goes over to the other side of the faceoff circle on the ensuing drop at center ice before the puck is dropped to engage one of the Minnesota D.
 
That's OK now?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I've been sticking with the Avs-Wild game, have they shown the '04 Red Sox graphic on NBCSN yet? The best part of any team forcing a Game 7 after being down 3-0.

I saw the graphic of the 3 times it's been done in the NHL, but not the Sox.  But I've been flipping.

 

[Manzivino]

After a ridiculous save on Parenteau, too. And I'm still not sure how the initial rebound didn't go in.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Bryz!!!

 

[cshea]

Enter Ilya Bryzgalov. The plot thickens.
