Official NHL Western Conference Playoff Thread

Yes. On Wednesday.

That's what I thought. The folks at Sportacular seem unwilling to update any results on their iPhone app. As of this morning their NHL Playoff tree still shows Vancouver being up 3 games to none over the Hawks.

Kings and Sharks tied at 3, 7 minutes left in game 6.

Kings eliminated...Kopitar's injury hurt them alot

 

[Uman85]

It sure did. Thought they would at least force a game 7 after watching most of last night's game. Sharks played very well in OT. They wanted it more. Killed off a huge 5-minute PP. Props to San Jose.

Canucks should have a pretty easy time with the Preds.

Disagree.

 

[Gekko82]

Disagree.

why?

 

[ClydeLee]

why?

Preds can hold down the Canucks defensively and keep those games close well enough to get opportunities on the mental midget goalie out there.

I'm not sure I'd call Lu a mental midget. He did pretty damn well last night in a Game 7 and he's gotten over the obstacle in the Blackhawks. I think he and the Canucks can breathe easy now.

 

[ClydeLee]

Maybe he is over it now past the Hawks. The man couldn't even answer a question to reporters without being coached up. Even when he did, he couldn't express any confidence in himself.

Preds-Nucks start at 8 pm CT tomorrow.

Wow, quick start.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

Let's go Nashville.

Predators in 7.

San Jose in 6.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Henrik really backing up his mouth..

Almost 9 games without a goal in the playoffs.

 

[Captain Iago]

Been a fantastic one in Vancouver. Going to Double OT.

Here's a feed.

Go Preds! BTW, did anyone see the look on Luongo's face when Nashville tied it? Classic LOLungo. Haha

Oh ya. Hilarious how the goal came from beyond the goal line. What a whiff.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Preds win!!!!!!!!!!

RIGHT ON Predators!

 

[Tyler Juranovich]

I don't know if any of you guys watched the whole game but Rinne was absolutely fantastic. He made a save in the 1st OT that amazed everyone. (A diving save to stop a puck that would've gone in an empty net.)

This series is going exactly how I thought it would. Very two defensive teams. Low scoring.

 

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

I stand by saying Rinne is who I'd take if I could have any goalie in the league.

The guy is great and he's been BRILLIANT in this Vancouver series so far.

I also like that they have a clone of him in Lindback as their backup. That Nashville front office knows what they're doing.
