2014 NHL PLAYOFFS (Round 2)

Now it's time to watch the Stars.

Hopefully Seguin and Benn show up at puck drop tonight and not two periods later.

Corey Perry is a bitch. Surprised he didn't get a 2nd penalty just now. He's the one that started swinging even though Daley was on top.

This game is starting to pick up.

I love it.

Hopefully Corey Perry gets fugged up.

Watched the first bit of Stars/Ducks.  Was a huge fan of the physicality.

The only thing better than NHL playoffs is the NFL payoffs. Playoff hockey is great and it looks like the league is gonna let 'em play hard this year.

 

Pulling for the Ducks and I like Boston in the east.

 

St. Louis Blues up 2-0 at the end of the 1st period. Porter got the first of the game on a ridiculous angle on net... Chicago is 1-9 on the power play and they had 3 in the first period today and couldn't get anything going.

The Blues are putting it on Chicago.

The Blues are putting it on Chicago.

 

Not anymore..... tied at 2. The Blues stopped playing D late in the second period and now into the 3rd as the Hawks score early in the 3rd.

Blues in OT 4-3.

 

The hit Seabrook laid on Blakes will definitely result in a suspension and will seriously hurt the Hawks chances. Their second best defenseman likely suspended for 2-3 games could likely see the Hawks done in the first round.

 

Was a bad hit- boarding, charging, whatever you want to call it, it was a head shot with the shoulder.

It's going to be weird seeing the Hawks out in the first round.

Couldn't agree more. Yes it's in my blood (I'm Canadian), but I truly love the NHL Playoffs and believe it blows the NBA/MLB out of the water. It does more than make up for the lack of football. Every game/series is a battle of wills, full of momentum swings. 

 

If only the U.S. enjoyed the NHL half as much as Canadians... Which is a big reason why I appreciate American hockey fans considering the coverage/image it gets. 

 

Today's game between the Blues/Hawks was phenomenal and that series is living up to its hype. Pitt/CBJ already 2-1 and seems like it will be quite entertaining.

Not over yet, but yes that would be very surprising. I say it goes to at least 6 games. Can't see Chicago losing in less than 5 to a less experienced team. However, St Louis is showing every sign that it is a playoff-ready team. 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'll tell you who is playing out of his mind, Kevin Shattenkirk.

Shattenkirk has 1 goal, 3 assists, 4 points, and a +3 rating in these past two games and he's also going up against the line of Sharp, Handzus, and Hossa. Those three combined have a big fat 0 points!!!

Blues were my pick to win the Cup before the playoffs. Of course they're playoff ready.

CBJ GOT THEMSELVES A PLAYOFF WIN!!!
