Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Stanley Cup playoffs start

I was at the Oilers game last night. Pretty crazy game! Let's go Oil!

I'm a Die-hard Chicago fan. Saw my first game in 1947. A little disappointed in them this year, because they stunk up the first round, but I like their style of play. Speed, skill and heads-up Hockey and not the St. Louis Goon hockey style. Glad to see the Pred's knock off St. Louis. Go Nashville!

I like watching Nashville. I'd like to go to a game there.

The Caps should be out tonight.

St Louis is a big team but that doesn't make them a goon team.

Hitchcock was a goon Coach. He encouraged his players to hit, hit, hit. As a result his good players like Shattenkirk sat in the penalty box while the opposing team was scoring goals. History has shown, The Montreal Dynasty as one example that Stanley Cup winners are composed of skilled, and well-coached player, not goons, like the Blues have had for the last few seasons. All the great players did not have to try to put their opponent's head into the boards to win games. Hopefully Yeo will change that.

Sam, you're a lucky man. That was a classic.

They beat the Sharks, so I hope they take care of the Quackers too! (I sorta hate the Ducks, just sorta, only a little that is. well, maybe more than a little )

Oh, if people think they are a fluke, they're not taking into account the coaching staff. McLellan and his folks took the Sharks to quite a few playoffs. He kinda' knows what he's doing.

PS, you folks are lucky to have Drew Remenda back up there too. I miss him.

Valsdad,

I got to go to Game 2 vs the Sharks too. The only game where Kassian has heard his name chanted I'm sure. It's been great to break the drought with a deep playoff run.

If you guys want Drew Remenda back I'm sure there are a few thousand Oilers fans that would ship him back to you. His commentary on how good all the other teams are and how bad the Oilers are playing wears thin for the Oilers faithful around here.

Comon' CAPS!!

Fight back!! Skate hard!!

Bring it back to DC!!!

I hoping the Pens got it all out of their system. Game 7 here we come.

Ouch !!! that one hurt

Ouch heck. Maybe for you Pens fans.

For those of us who's teams are out of the running, it just means more hockey to watch.

And we all know how exciting a game 7 is (usually? hopefully?)

You and BYC are going to have heart issues if the game lives up to expectations!

Now, if only the Rangers can win game six we fans get 3 game sevens out of the second round. Hurray Hurray, let's go Rangers!

Geno

I haven't been to a playoff game since 1996 or so in SJ. And that was a 6 hr drive to get to. Again, I'm jealous!

Drew has been badmouthing your team? This year even? That doesn't really seem like him. He used to give credit where credit was due and vice versa. He was never afraid to question management decisions, especially from above the coaching level. I watched an awful lot of Sharks games and was happy to hear him calling it the way he saw it instead of just toeing the party line. As I understand it, that's kinda why you folks have him up there. Wilson didn't want him around any more. I've heard a lot worse commentators, that's for sure.

I wish your team the best. I think it would be great for the youngsters on that team to get to the final, even win it. It would give them the added incentive to keep playing their best to try to get back, even with a relatively "weak" team, for the rest of their careers. And good for hockey in general to have a Canuck team. If Ottawa wins, to have two Canadian teams in there would just be too much!

Geno

Ottawa thru!!!!

Now, it's a two game seven type of day today. That's kinda special. What more can a hockey fan ask for!

Geno

I'm either going to be in a real good mood or a really pissed off mood. Go Pens !!

This is what it's all about men!!!!

GO CAPS!!!!

Caps are missing way too many scoring opportunities. Shots on goal have to be 3-1 Caps.

Pens up 1-0 mid 2nd period
