2016 Nhl Playoffs


Recommended Posts

I am a little tick. Pens are -140. I don't like laying so much juice on the road even though it is a must win and malkin guarantee a win

Burns' beard is incredible and I won't hear anything else on the subject.

That was beyond words amazing. What a night. So much to share with you guys, but too spent to do it right now. But here's one snapshot: when Sid carried the cup into the dressing room, he set it up in

Ya I found that a little hard to believe when I read it, to be honest with you.

I very thoroughly underestimated Tampa's forward group coming into this series. The speed and skill is unbelievable. Drouin scares the shit out of me every time he touches the puck. Kucherov too.

That's hilarious just because it is so simple. Firstly, that 8000 people obviously shouldn't touch ratings. And if it does...then just point out to the advertisers who actually care about ratings that there was also a 8000-person captive audience at a huge rally!

 

On one hand, I'd say there has to be more to it, because it can't be so ridiculous. On the other hand, I have a hard time imaginging what those "other" things could be that would actually make sense to not allow a team to do these group watch rallies, because they are awesome.

So my western conference bracket was perfect. Only had half of the first round of the east, but perfect the rest of the way.... NHL.com has me in 577th... or more impressively, in the 100th percentile. Plus I'm a lock to win my office pool for like $350 or so that I split with whatever charity they're supporting.

I don't have a clue who the favorite for the Conn Smythe would be right now, at least on the Pens side. That's a really good thing, too. All three lines scoring. It's so spread out.

 

Can't find any odds out there yet.

I think the whole hockey world will be cheering for the Sharks in the final (Sorry Zach)

 

I think there are a lot of people on the Kessel bandwagon too.

 

That said, I wouldn't be unhappy for very long if the Sharks won. Like maybe unhappy for the amount of time between the final buzzer and the Cup presentation.

 

Sharks have been my "western conference team" for a while. Maybe slightly surpassed by the Wild in recent years, but still up there. I would be quite thrilled to watch Thornton and Marleau hoist the Cup.

I was dealing blackjack and had a few guys at my table that looked vaguely familiar. They were all bearded, friendly, and one had a cut on his eyebrow. 2 of them played at my table for a while, and I paid attention to things they said, like how they played at this one casino in St Louis. I casually asked where they were from - they replied California. I said, "Ah - here for the game? Good luck, but not TOO much, of course..." They laughed, and kept playing. They later mentioned something about Minnesota, and showed disdain for the casino chips that had the Pens logo on them. As they colored up, I finally asked, "Just gotta ask - you guys are Sharks, right?" The one guy laughed, said yeah, so I wished them luck. Seemed cool enough, although they didn't tip. Apparently it was Martin Jones and I think the other guy was Nieto. It was tough to compare the mental image with the beard-less roster photo on my break.
