Some really impressive hockey to kick off the playoffs. The Wild's backup goalie Harding had a great night, but those 2 goals by Chicago were some of the prettiest goals you will see all playoffs.

The Blues really took it the defending champion Kings. They probably should have won it in regulation if not for a late goal to push it to overtime and then you have to love the hustle by Steen to steal the puck from the goalie to put the game away.

If you're a lonely hockey watcher (and who isn't if you watch hockey) check out 4chan.org's /sp/ board during games. They'll usually have live threads for pretty much any sporting event out there (it's also worldwide, so you'll sometimes see Canadians spout off on how superior they are... to fellow Canadians and Murricans alike).

Probably the best part about that arrangement a few seasons ago was seeing them come up with fun images making fun of notoriously bad Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo (compared to Boston's Tim Thomas). One particular game it was 7-0 Boston, so they were all like "Roberto 7uongo Tim Th0mas" followed up by Ro8erto Luongoooooooal!

They also alerted me to live feeds of the downtown Vancouver rioting, which were about 10 seconds ahead of our live TV broadcast. I'd shout over to NP "Something bad must have just happened, they're going crazy" and he'd be like "Nothing happened...oh. Boston just scored again."

Long post short, here's hoping a Canadian team (or two) is in the finals. They are the craziest of the crazy.

I watched the end of Montreal/Ottawa... 4chan was really trolling that poor Montreal goalie. Holy sh!t that was a slugfest of frustration near the end.

I also saw the being of Vancouver/San Jose. It made me realize that the Canucks' jersey looks like it has a shark on the front too (I suppose it's supposed to be a killer whale).

I can't believe Ro8erto 7uongooooooooooal still goalies for Vaughncouver. I know he didn't start for them last night, but I was certain I heard that the rioters made sure he never returned after the Stan Lee failure.

I watched the end of Rangers/Caps yesterday when it was apparent that WWE was going to suck. Was not disappointed in the end. Definitely came down to the wire, empty net and nearly tying the score.

Funny thing is I don't watch hockey the rest of the year. I imagine there isn't as much fighting and desperation to come away with a game as there is in the playoffs.

The Rangers won last night primarily because of Marc Staal's return...he's a real stabilizing force on their defensive corps.

You should give additional vcash to people who bet on the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is a great time of year and this thread has been great so far. Maybe give like 50 dollars in vcash a week for the people who watch the Stanley Cup Playoff games. For what it's worth, I really have enjoyed all the people who have posted on this thread. Hopefully most will watch along with me until the end.

Ah well, when it's play money it doesn't really count, right? :)

Sorry bout your Redwings, but isn't the city of Detroit itself a ringing endorsement to bet AGAINST anything associated with them? :P


Hockeytown has arguably the best owner in professional sports, Macedonian businessman Mike Ilitch, who has had a dynasty with the Wings and World Series Championships with the Tigers. A new Tiger Stadium recently and plans for a new arena in Detroit for his Wings.

He is absolutely beloved by that town, and rightly so.

Baby baj and I've been sick lately, so NP and I made it through about 5 minutes of OT before we had to turn it off and get to sleep. But we did see the game tying goal with less than a minute of regulation left and all of the crazy saves that the "Snes" goalie did before then that would have put the game outta reach, so kudos to him.

When Pitt Pen got the power play in the closing minutes, I thought it was all over. When Ott Snes didn't hank their goalie to be even with Pitt on the offensive side, I thought they were just waving the white flags along with their towel waving fans.

And then outta nowhere... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
