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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
