2010-2011 NHL Season Thread

Also tied with the Habs for 6th now. Sup bro.

8-1-1 in the last ten.

So Theo Fleury went on the radio and said that the Canucks won't make it passed the first round because they've been coasting for awhile now and their first opponent is going to be hardened from playing playoff hockey for a month just trying to get in the playoffs.

And his statement is probably accurate. Granted it doesnt always happen, as theres always the possibility the 8th seeder will just be too worn down to match the energy Van will have, finishing 1st and coasting for a month isnt a good thing. Theres a reason that half of the playoffs is entirely about who gets hot at the right time.

I kinda feel bad for Toronto, they're playing pretty good now (15-6-5 in feb+march till now), but because they choked the first 2/3rd of the season, they might not make it to the playoffs.

As much as I'd love us to grab the #6 seed, I'm not sure I can stand to watch 7 games of Bruins-Rangers hockey. Would be the most boring first round ever.

Fluery gave credit to the twins and Kesler. What Fluery said isn't 100% inaccurate, it's just the way that he said it. Luongo is the key, and based on his play this season hard not to think Fluery is incorrect with his prediction.

Unless you have an eye on Luongo, many don't know that he's played less games and there is much less stress on him. When he's not playing, he knows his backup is capable of winning. No longer with the C, he can focus on stopping the puck.

Fluery was once a great player, sad that he's turned into a douche even after his BS in Europe.

I'm a diehard ranger fan, but I have to agree with you on this one. I'd almost rather we play Tampa in the first round so we can lose bad. At least stamkos would score a ton of goals and bring some excitement to the series.

Making it harder for the Sabres not to have to play Philly

wat.

I.E You imply the Rangers would lose. They can beat any team in the East as they have shown.

Mike Green has played less games this season than the past 4. Coincidence? I think not.

If we get a little less Mike Green and a lot more Real American Hero John Carlson, everyone wins.

Kings season may have just ended.

Edit: Kopitar down

Dustin Brown may be hurt now too. Holy cow lol

Too bad we started so awfully. Phaneuf took a blade in the leg (which I'm guessing had a far more drastic effect on his play this season than he let on), Armstrong broke both his feet (He doesn't do much... and yet we're overwhelmingly on the + in W/L when he's in), Giguere blew his groin out every 2 months.

Lesson 1 for the Maple Marlies: If you throw the early season, you leave March purely up to someone else.

But that's okay. Leafs fans have no need for logic or reason. Reimer is 8-0-1 in his last 9 road starts - He is Ron Wilson's winning formula (stop fucking with the lines ron). The fact is a loss tonight and a buffalo win does not equal a playoff berth

[Flarega]

D Brown is alright.

[Anton]

Real American Hero

Either that or:

Marco's first with the Caps! Nice follow-up there.

[Anton]

Okay here we go leafs. 2 min of posession battling, then Reimer makes the first good save

-Grabovski with a slot attempt 5h, saved. Phaneuf with a block

-Buffalo scores. Then Carolina scores....

Then Detroit scores

Edit: Forgot, we don't win on Saturday

Well, with Kopitar out now, the Playoffs are going to be very slim to make and even then, we will prob go out in 4-5 games without a true #1 center.

Losing Kopitar is just way to costly for us.
