JohnJ Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Pens I hate it for ya! #71 you're still my favorite player behind my best of the `Canes Aaron Ward. Like to see Marchand get his b^tt kicked! Tampa to the Finals again?? Gotta keep it east of the Mississippi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 @schu Your guys are exhilarating to watch after what I've seen from my team recently. (not counting individual effort) Seems like they could get to the series in mid June. If the caps get through I'll pull for the west without hesitation this year.

JohnJ Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Anyone else watch what just happened for the first 15 minutes of the third period? Scheifele. Fleury. That "old" goalie is playing a lot better than he used to. Jets poured it on and could not get through! These two teams want it bad and are willing to work for it. Tough luck for the eastern teams if they don't man up, and soon. Best game yet of the conference round yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Not looking good for the Jets. They really needed the win last night. Vegas in the finals is now becoming a likelihood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but only four games in...... you know what could happen!! Haven't watched a period of hockey like that in a long while. Have to admit, I haven't watched every game my team has played since I don't know when. From 2001 through about 2010 I watched nearly every game they played 80+ yearly, and that broke my heart the last few years. Recently about half of them and it still hurt, so the thought of the `Canes being run "differently" gives me some hope. We need personal accountability mandated on our youngins, along with a captain, none of that mamby-pamby co-captain bs (HA-Ha Flames). If Captain Kirk could turn those guys around in three games flat, maybe Rod can too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Well whomever wins from the East I hope Vegas wins the cup. They are very deserving. To think a first year expansion team doing this.....amazing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 A great story for sure. Hope the "Misfits"can pull it off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 And most everybody on that team was deemed expendable to even be taken by the expansion team. They're all having the last laugh, they went 51-31 this season, now get to play for the Stanley Cup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the beauty of it is that the knights were savvy enough or maybe even lucky enough to put together the right mix to get such a winning team. Congrats in the other tourney (IIHF worlds) to the US for beating Canada for the bronze...and also for Sweden for taking the gold. It's good to see Klingberg experience a winning team that hopefully will translate back to the Stars next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 A shame to see Winnipeg bumped but they had a good run all the same. Looks like Tampa vs Knights for the Cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 @YK Thom Winnipeg looked so good Wednesday night I was shocked that they lost that game. Scheifele is worth his contract whatever it is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finals are going to be great this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I would love to see Cinderella go all the way. I have always been a fan of Deryk Engelland and I was pissed that the Flames let him go. Even though I hated the Pens and him when he played there, I have such fond memories of him and Colton Orr of my Leafs going at it. The Calgary Flames fans were all cheering when he was taken by Vegas, they didn't need him. He was too old, too slow...and nobody needs a fighter any more....right. Well, he has really stepped up his game. For the first time in his career his coach has faith in him, playing....not just fighting and filling in for the tired and injured in their top six. I absolutely hated Gerard Gallant when he played for the Wings but he has really come into his own as a coach. The guys like playing for him and he lets them play. When his players take the odd stupid penalty Gallant doesn't play the "I'll show you" and bench them the rest of the game. Vegas is so exciting to watch, if it ends up with either of the Eastern teams that final will be fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Will be a good final and as you say a good story. Should the Knights win, it will make history. If Tampa (my future homeland), wins I will also be pleased. We have some seriously good hockey coming up this week. Sit back, open a pint, turn it up and enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
