Re: The 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs
I'm rooting for Tampa since Callahan and Boyle are two of my favorites and Richards is my absolute least favorite. So, congrats Chicago.

Knowing the Rangers 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th D in terms of TOI had leg injuries (a break, a chipped bone and 2 knee sprains) against a quick as hell Tampa team makes me feel a little better about the result.

Luck is severely underrated in the NHL playoffs, IMO.

I think more terrifying was his assertion that he "probably" would have missed the finals, had they made it. Hopefully that wasn't serious.BSF21 wrote:Might rest easier knowing this too

It is always interesting to learn who all was severely injured after a team gets eliminated. Wars of attrition.

Re: The 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Its pretty funny that if you take the old Flyers top 4 D, 3 are in the SCF now and the 4th is both still a Flyer and a league employee. Great franchise.
I've been more or less avoiding this topic out of fear of reading that. I get nervous enough watching guys coming back from concussions play their first few games; this should be just awful.howard wrote:Holy shit.

I've got the NHL network on in the office this afternoon. They're running through media day stuff. Kathryn Tappen keeps talking about how gorgeous and hot it is today in Tampa, as the network shows B roll clips of the area.
It's been gray and rainy here all day.

Chicago is so clutch, they've stolen so many games this postseason, all the way back to Game 1 against Nashville.

Re: The 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Bishop looks to be less than 100%, but he was the better goalie tonight.
We've discussed Chicago's lack of depth on defense, and now Johnny Oduya might be injured. That would be a big loss.
Funny that Toews, Kane and Stamkos have all been kept off the scoresheet in the first three games. Tampa looks to have better depth all around.

Re: The 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Big win for the Hawks and the worst single play I think I've ever seen by a goaltender. Bishop came out to damn near the blue line.

A deadspin commentator dropped a "Leeroy Jennkkinnns" meme on the point at which he hits his defender. I am still laughing.BSF21 wrote:Big win for the Hawks and the worst single play I think I've ever seen by a goaltender. Bishop came out to damn near the blue line.

Having a bunch of 2-1 games makes it a bit easier to understand not see big guns scoring. No one is scoring!
Disagree that Bolts have better depth. Hawks 3rd and 4th lines are doing just fine. On blue line, yes, up front Tampa is not better.

Rangers would have swept either of these two garbage pails. The hockey world is lucky Zucc got hurt and the Rangers gave up more goals than they scored against Tampa.

I've been consistently surprised by Chicago over the course of the playoffs. Keith is a stud.

A sign of the times, Toews raises the Stanley Cup and there's hardly any noise in the crowd. Everyone is taking pictures with their phone.
