bbomser Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 As a Ranger Fan, I couldn't be happier this morning. I will say that this was the best series of the playoffs so far. I can only hope that NYR-TBL and CHI-ANA are as good. To any neutral observing NHL Fans, you can't ask for anything better than Game 7 OT Hockey. (Quote originally from dandaman on Facebook) New York Rangers in 5. Chicago Blackhawks in 6. Your predictions?
bbomser Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 You know what's better than one Conference Final Game 7? TWO Game 7's! First time since 2000 that both conference finals took 7. While I whiffed on the series lengths, I'm still sticking with my original prediction. Hoping it sets up a fun SCF as I'm a Rangers fan and the fiancée is a Hawks fan. Rangers and Blackhawks
Genx24 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I don't care who wins tomorrow, if the Rangers don't win tonight hockey will cease to exist for me. That being said, I'd certainly prefer the Ducks. EDIT: welp, my worst fear was realized. Rangers season is over.
Philrad71 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I know there are a lot of Rangers fans on here, but I personally am happy to see Tampa Bay make the Finals. I would prefer them playing Anaheim as that is another team that doesn't make it all that often. Hoping for the Bolts to take it in 6 games!
Athletekim Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 As a Devils fan, I am happy that the Rangers didn't make it of course! I say that the Finals will go to game 7 with the Bolts taking home the cup.
bbomser Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 A friend of mine really summed it up recently with the following quote. "With the Tampa Bay Lightning advancing to the Stanley Cup Final, most Floridians are wondering "When did we get a hockey team?". I don't want to see the look on their face when they realize there are two!
Genx24 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Never let it be said that hockey players aren't the toughest SOB's in sports. Ryan McDonagh of the Rangers was playing with a broken foot, and there are reports that Marc Staal, also of NYR, was skating with a broken ankle. If I broke my foot/ankle I wouldn't get out of bed, and these guys were still going to work night in and out. That's dedication.
coasterkid124 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Just thought I would bump this thread now that the season started again. I know we're just a few games in, but many teams are surprising me this year. Any thoughts on the new changes? (Challenges, 3 on 3, etc)
Lightning Rod Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) My team the Minnesota Wild are off to a good start 2-0 beat St Louis. I think they will be a tough team to beat this season. Edited October 11, 2015 by Lightning Rod
coasterkid124 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Big Red Wings fan here. Larkin is going to be a real good player. Nobody that young ever makes the team. The present and the future seem to be bright. I live in Buffalo, so the Sabres are also a team that I like. Even though they are 0-2 so far, they are playing a lot better then last year. Defense has improved, they just need to find a way to get more pucks in the net.
RaceBoarder Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 3 on 3 is the exact opposite of The Glow Puck... The best decision the NHL has made in several years... It's fire wagon hockey and kicks arse...

Defense has improved, they just need to find a way to get more pucks in the net. Great to have another Sabres fan on here! So far, Eichel is looking like the real deal and it was nice to see O'Reilly chip in the other night for the teams first win. You are correct in that the defense looks better, but with the injury to Lehner in the home opener, is anyone starting to wonder if Murray did the right thing by signing him (injury prone)? I have my doubts already, but the season is still early. The goaltending situation is certainly a concern...even when Lehner is healthy he hasn't looked all that good.
coasterkid124 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I was never a big fan of Lehner. He's 24 now, which is still young, but I haven't seen enough to make me believe he will be a solid starter. He looks more to me like a James Reimer, who's been stuck in backup limbo for years now. I think I would even prefer Enroth or Neuvirth, who is crushing it in Philly right now.
bluestreak Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 So since nobody has posted in here in over a year... how about them Blue Jackets?
coasterkid124 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I'm happy for them, honestly. But teams go up, and they go down. They have some big moves to make before this deadline if they expect to be major contenders in the playoffs. They're also gonna get hit hard in the expansion draft if they don't move some parts.
bluestreak Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 ^ I'm a huge jackets fan and I can tell you that most of us couldn't care less about what happens after this year. All we care about is getting to the playoffs and making a run at the cup this year.
coasterkid124 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 The way you put that makes it seem like you only want them to do good this season. Considering how long it's taken for them to get to this point, wouldn't you want to see them do good for a few years? This is the first year that I've ever seen the Red Wings be a bottom feeder team so this feeling is new to me.
bluestreak Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 ^ Don't get me wrong I'd love this team to become a dynasty but I think right now the focus is winning this year. PS: 13 in a row now.
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Who would of thought the Ottawa Senators would be the first team from the east to reach the Eastern Conf Finals. I really thought it would be Pens or Caps. Seriously would you really believe me if I told this at the beginning of the season. Now I really hope we get a Ottawa vs Edmonton Stanley Cup Final. At least that would put an end to Canada's Stanley Cup drought. Also hats off to Nashville for reaching the Western Conf Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Coasterdude54 Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 I'm hoping for the best, but then again I'm a Caps fan.
