NHL 2nd Round - In-Games

[Joe Public]

That's where the Pens miss Whitney.

Agreed.

 

[Capt. Slap]

C'mon Pens

 

[Capt. Slap]

Varlamov is a beast

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Varlamov will have his off game. Caps 7-2 to Under in his p.s. starts.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

OT in Carolina

 

[Capt. Slap]

You like Bruins in OT BC? Joe? Guaranteed? Matteson?

 

[BetCrimes1984]

no opinion, Slap. But odds are at least 1 road team will win one of these OT games, because both road teams scored 1st, and a greater number of 1st scoring teams win games that go to OT than non-1st scoring teams.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Ya I'll take Bruins if Pens win this before it starts in 8 minutes, thanks

 

[Gandolf]

Caps spend a lot of time in their own end trying to control the puck and look for a pass instead of having preset quick breakout plays. It's something you can get away with in the regular season but at the pace they play in the playoffs? Uh, no.

 

[guaranteeed]

I have the Bruins for the game so I do like them in OT, I havent watched much of the game though only during pens/caps intermissions

PENS GOAL!!!!!

 

[Capt. Slap]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Joe Public]

IT'S GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD.

Whooooohooooo.

 

[Capt. Slap]

DINK!

 

[Capt. Slap]

Feed was choppy all I heard was DINK! GOOOOOAAAALLLL!

 

[Joe Public]

Letang.

Yes.

 

[Gandolf]

Bank shot. Usually the way these things go in OT.

 

[Joe Public]

Thank you, Gambling Gods.

 

[Joe Public]

Now it gets crazy, Games Four and Five are back to backs home and home.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Great finish guys, congrats on you Penguins backers

 

[guaranteeed]

Wow Carolina has doubled Boston in Shots during the game, need the Bruins to squeak one out here

 

[Gandolf]

I'll take a shot at the Bruins in OT too.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Yup, lets go Bruins in OT

 

[Joe Public]

I'm just starting to breathe again.

Yow, that was nuts. The Pens deserved that game, though.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Cmonnnn Lujicccccccc

 

[guaranteeed]

Lucic needs to bury that

 

[Joe Public]

Oh, Cam Ward saving bacon.

 

[Joe Public]

Cam Ward and Luongo are just behind Hiller and Varlamov for me right now on my list of goalies I want on my team in these playoffs.

 

[Joe Public]

Goal. Carolina.

 

[guaranteeed]

fuck Bruins defense what are you doing there

 

[Joe Public]

Tough beat for the Bs after the overtime they'd been playing.

 

[Joe Public]

Value opens on the Bs for the series now.

 

[Capt. Slap]

Fuck that

 

[Joe Public]

It's so funny to have an A/B comparison with TSN's coverage immediately after Versus' coverage. It's just dramatically better.

 

[Joe Public]

That's not really Thomas' fault, but I think he's the weak link on that team.

 

[Gandolf]

Chara blew that one, doesn't happen often.

 

[Joe Public]

Ha, nice Obama sign.

 

[mogo]

Thank god the Pens won that game...... rayer

 

[guaranteeed]

It's so funny to have an A/B comparison with TSN's coverage immediately after Versus' coverage. It's just dramatically better.

Ya I think that one of the big reasons hockey isn't as big in the states has to do with the announcers.

When they show NFL games in canada they dont use crappier announcers they just keep the same ones. If Versus, or when they get it back next year or the year after ESPN, want to grow the game they would be better off just using the TSN feed.

 

[Gandolf]

Value opens on the Bs for the series now.

True, but Carolina has played as well as anyone the last 3 months. Cup experience, Ward in goal, looking like the Ducks of the East maybe.

 

[Joe Public]

If Versus, or when they get it back next year or the year after ESPN, want to grow the game they would be better off just using the TSN feed.

They would be dramatically better off. I fail to see why they just don't do that. Wouldn't it be cheaper? Is it an admission of failure?

 

[Joe Public]

True, but Carolina has played as well as anyone the last 3 months. Cup experience, Ward in goal, looking like the Ducks of the East maybe.

Good comparison on a number of levels, including on the other side of the ice. At times the Bruins, who have the better offensive talent just like the Wings, just look confused and out of sorts--just like the Wings.

 

[Santacapper]

:whip:

 

[Joe Public]

Chicago brought out an old-time anthem singer.

Nice. They're flipping out.

 

[Santacapper]

not gonna help

 

[Santacapper]

stupid bieksa

 

[Joe Public]

Yeah, bad penalty, PP 'Hawks.

 

[Santacapper]

no f'ing way would I ever block a shot like that...

 

[Santacapper]

very nice save by Luongo...

 

[Joe Public]

no f'ing way would I ever block a shot like that...

Which way, fully exposed ankle with the chance the thing could shoot up into your face, or flat on the ice where it gets to sort of pick a spot on your body?

 

[Santacapper]

mostly laying flat on the ice... but definitely both
