Not quoting you to respond to anything you said, but man, NYR fanbase has some awesome playoff avatars at HF this year. Fuckin' love the Giorgio TsoukaTortorella photoshops. The SOPO shit the Pens fans came up with is just... ugh.

The SOPO shit doesn't even make sense lol.

[Ace-o-fire]

lol at how mad.

I said nothing about SJ getting out of the first round (though I believe, Blues have cooled off lately and SJ looks healthy and ready for the second season), just that the preds are gonna stomp detroit this time.

Stomped out? Highly fucking unlikely.

Listen Nashville has a good team, hell I’ll even say the best team we have seen in my music city ever. But you know what a lot of what we are hearing is HYPE. With Rinne’s top tier season he had as a goalie it started the HYPE machine; with the dealings they made at the trade deadline it helped fuel the HYPE machine, and when Radulov came back it kicked the HYPE machine in to full gear. But you know what, are they really that good? It came down to the last 2 games of the regular season for them to take over the Wings spot at 4th.

But the problem I see with Nashville is number 1. Pekka-fucking-Rinne(2.39 GAA and .923 Sv%). While he’s an elite goaltender the mother fucker has played in 73 fucking games this season. He’s faced more shots than any other goalie this season. When is this mother fucker do for a slump, a slip up, a lapse in skill? Soon, very fucking soon, because even the best can suffer from being overworked and it looks like his time is due.

But let’s look at Jimmy Howard(2.13 GAA and .920 Sv%). I’ll say this is really his first true year at being the number 1 in Detroit and he has responded well. He has only played in 57 games. A 16 game difference, damn near over a month of games. While most of these had to deal with injuries, Groin and Fingers being the main cause. His second break from a groin was nothing more than a precaution. His skill didn’t go unrecognized either this year since he took a trip to the All-Star game.
So, Rinne vs Howard may be a draw at the end of the day since both have been spectacular this season.

Look at the advantages of the Predators, their special teams. Their power play this year is no fucking joke. 21.6 % ya’ll have got to be fucking kidding me. We are fucked, no fucking way we can fight against that. But wait… isn’t this Detroit we are talking about. The Red Wings and the Predators are two of the least penalized teams in the whole league. So that takes away both the Predators power play which will be rare and hardly seen during this series (unless there are some phantom calls) and the Red Wings, Nothing to talk about, Penalty kill at 81.8%. So let’s toss that right out the window also.

What about this deep team I keep hearing about in Nashville Ace? Well, what about it? Offensively the Red Wings have more players with at least 10 goals, and more players with at least 20 goals. They have 3 players to Nashville’s 0 with more than 60 points (Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Filppula), and have more players who have reached at least 20 points.

Lets even take a look at playoff history; we all know the past is the past but just for shits and giggles. Since the millennium Detroit was won not one, but TWO Stanley cups, not only that but reached the finals another time. But let us look at the 07-08 team. Not much different, in fact over 10 players on the team that year are on the team this year. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom, Cleary, Hudler, Holmstrom, Franzen, Filppula, Stuart, Helm, Kronwall. They where all on the team then and healed an important role in winning. and they still fucking hold that roll.

But we all know history is that, history.

To save you from a wall of text (Should have done this sooner) I’ll say this, while this certainly will be a tough matchup for Detroit, in fact I’ll say maybe the toughest they will face all post season. But are we going to get stomped? No fucking way so pull your fucking head out of your god damn ass and stop making bullshit fucking statements.

“I got this locked down like tight a little girls tuna, this is totally locked down tight like a girl’s privet parts that is small… Locker room talk baby!”

TL ; DR aurik doesn't know shit.

speaking of new avatars, testing testing one two tchree

I would have sex with you avatar despite the Hawks allegiance; well done sir

[Anton]

Lol Edmonton. Their team is getting almost too good for the cap era - maybe next year they won't be league bottom.

Lol Columbus. After such a horrible season, they failed the Fail for Nail. Back to trying to fleece a franchise for Rick Nash.

And Toronto went nowhere. Though we didn't move up, we didn't move down either - the odds for both weren't high in any case - and 5th overall gives us a reasonable shot at a quality prospect like Galchenyuk.

Fine. Cool. Great. Let's start the playoffs already!

I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR TOMORROW

I am going to try my hardest to fuck a female Red Wings fan in my "don't tread on me" Preds cape post-game tomorrow. Standards are going out the window for this endeavor; if it has a vagina and is sub-200lbs and wearing red, it is on my radar.

laughin my ass off at the wall of tears ace keeps postin

..and that he's still mad about losing to SJ in years past. New year, time to get over it.

[Deader2818]

If I were a wings fan, 2008, 2002, 98, 97 would make me not really give a shit about losing to the Sharks in the playoffs the last 2 years.

I'm not, I’m pissed off that your ass calls me out.

Listen, if you’re going to talk shit about the wings at least pay attention during the god damn regular season and don’t make random accusations. It's obvious that you don’t know anything about hockey.

And you know what

SHOW ME THAT THEY WILL BE STOMPED!

that's right you cant because your nothing more then a casual fucking hockey fan. Go back to sucking baseball's dick.

[NynJa]

I'm not used to having an exposed chin...feels weird.

What ever SUCCESSFUL HOMOSEXUAL-AMERICAN, you cant prove your damn point. This is why you are worthless.

So salty, lmao.

No shit, lol.

As a SJ fan, I'm kinda resigned to the fact they won't win this year and pretty soon Thornton will die of old age and they'll have to blow up the team and rebuild.

[Izzy]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[bluefan]

LOL!

I can't help but laugh and feel sorry for the true BJs fans.

The guy in the background with his arms up with the shot of the guy with the red shirt...that was me when Chevy picked Scheifele. Yes I know he has a camera.
