2011-2012 NHL Playoff Thread: MOOSE NOOSE ON THE LOOSE

[Bregor]

But it goes back to booing if he fucks up the CBA talks.

Fair enough, also applies to future botched sale of 'Yotes.

[Cail]

lockout killed hockey for me for a few years. these playoffs (and this thread) have got me back into it. another lockout would be devastating..

I'll drink to that.

Apparently NBC was muting the crowd a bit. If that's true I take it back.

I was looking for the Bob Miller/Jim Fox postgame show on the Fox sports channels... Both are broadcasting the Angels v Dodgers game.... BOTH OF THEM. Screw you baseball for this one day!

If that is true, fuck NBC.

[Palin]

If that is true, fuck NBC.

Agreed. And they cut away from Sutter/Lombardi's turn with the Cup and the eventual team photo. Bleh.

If anyone finds the CBC footage of the end of the game at some point in the next few days, please post.

Congratulations Scuderi and the Kings!

Now, taking a page from Jornna's book, I'll unleash my predictions for 2012-2013:

Pittsburgh finishes 30th in the league, Philadelphia wins the Stanley Cup. Penguins don't even break 100 goals over the regular season while giving up the most in the history of the NHL by the All-Star Game.

This. LOL. Even Hal Gil congrats'ed Scuderi on twitter with a #ThePiece hash tag.

Also fuck NBC, they did mute the crowd. He got freaking boo'ed, you could hear it muffled out. Thats ok though, cause Jonathan Quick dropped a loud, audible, clear as day F-bomb mid-interview with Pierre McGuire. Someone came up behind him and said something congragulatory while patting him on the back and Quick turned away from Pierre and shouted "Fucking A, YEAHHHHH!!!!" before turning back and continuing the interview.

Hahahahaahaha Quicks daughter is the cutest thing ever. Anyone else watching this on NHLN?

[Sepukku]

I think I puked a little watching Brown raise the Cup.

Also most akwkward celebration ever? Brown doesn't know how to hold it, Gagne almost drops it, Lewis runs into a photoguy..

The LA fans in the building tonite were a bit of a joke. Pretty obvious most of the lower bowl was rich ass fucks who haven't watched a game of hockey in their life. The amount of cheering those last 5 minutes was absolutely embarrassing. Halfhearted cheers for the Stanley Cup. No booing of Bettman. So many bandwaggoners. I'd honestly have rather seen it won on the road. That was pathetic.

You have no doubtless way of knowing whether Lundqvist knows how to hold the Cup properly or not, so you shall not criticize. I will toast to all sentiments combining New Jersey and some variant of "fuck off" however.

ya haha

Watching Sutter and Quick in the media room for post game. Quick's daughter running in the background and foreground with a Kings flag. So darn "Dawwww" but lulzy too.

[CrosisX]

Absolute domination by the kings tonight. NJ stood no chance.

This off season is going to be a pretty good one compared to past years.

CBA issues;
Oilers might trade 1st overall.
Nash trade rumors circling again.
Suter/Weber/Parise sweepstakes.
Martin/Staal both could be leaving Pittsburgh in a blockbuster or mini-blockbusters.

Just hopefully no suicides or plane crashes; thats NOT the eventful type of summer we want this year.

Did his daughter almost choke and die on live TV?

Totally agree. I hope the CBA gets done quick. Last thing the NHL needs right now is another lockout.

Now is a time to capitalize with a major market winning yet again.

Heres your new sig. I demand it.

Kopitar and Brown both finished the playoffs with identical 8 G / 12 A / 20 Points / +16. Almost same shots, too: 59 to 56.

Pouring over random final playoff stats,

best +/- of non Devils/Kings players:

Roman Hamrlik of the Capitals (+8.) and Ruslan Fedotenko of the Rangers (+7) lol ?_?
