The official NHL playoff thread
Hawks got blown out by the Preds.

I generally dislike Pittsburgh, Philly, Detroit and New York.

So, I guess I'll be rooting for Nashville this year!

The inconsistency of the officiating in regards to the off sides call is bloody appalling! NHL, make up your mind already and call it all the same!

But Bettman said, "The video replay through the coach’s challenge on offside has worked exactly as we hoped it would." Roll Eyes

Also "We take player safety very seriously. In a meaningful double-digit percentage number concussions are down this season."

and "We don't tell the officials to change the standard for the playoffs... We expect the officials to call the rulebook."

That was a stupid move (penalty) by Neal. One of the reasons the Pens got rid of him.

So...a goal called back on an offside; that needs to change, challenge the call when it occurs or forget it.

Then a phantom crosscheck in front of the net for a penalty, and a legitimate penalty on Neal.

Nice power play NHL. Bullshit officiating. Let them play the goddamn game.

So the Pens have managed to get 3 goals deflected off of defenders in 3 different series. May the hockey gods continue to smile on them!

Although I'm worried about this 3-goal lead curse may rear its head again!!

Pens got badly outplayed in the 2nd period, no shots on goal.

Pens do not deserve to win this game. I can't recall when I've seen any Penguins team play this badly.

No, they had to reach up much further than that.

They didn't deserve the win, at all, well over half the game without a shot on goal. AT least they did well on the shots they did take. Roll Eyes

This series may actually finish me off.

That was one of the worst games I've seen the Pens play in the post-season. Really??!?!? Zero shots for almost 40 minutes? Ridiculous.

The 3 goal curse almost struck again. They need to quit at a 2 point lead if they don't want to play the rest of the game. Sully needs to get it in their heads that a big lead almost always gets them in trouble.

Looks like they figured out Rinne though.
It's gonna be a good series.
