Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
I feel better seeing that, counting our game, 5 of the matches so far have seen the visitor win. Not counting the Anaheim Winnipeg game which is tied 2-2 mid third. Misery loves company.
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Basically - especially for the Canucks there is no advantage in home ice.. Their road record was either the same or better than their home games.Hockey Widow wrote:I feel better seeing that, counting our game, 5 of the matches so far have seen the visitor win.

..and for a playoff-inexperienced team like the Flames, starting on the road is ideal.
Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
They have nothing to lose or proove. We have everything. If we don't make the second round we are basically the Maple Laughs West ('Hi' Dock! ) and draft 23rd and face years of mediocrity.Puck wrote:..and for a playoff-inexperienced team like the Flames, starting on the road is ideal.

Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Disagree about our years of mediocrity. We got too much in the pipeline right now and management seems to know what they are doing. Go back to October of last year and most of us would have been pleased and surprised by where we are right now.Arachnid wrote:They have nothing to lose or proove. We have everything.

It is hard to look at the bigger picture when feelings as so passionate about our team but I think we are looking good and will look a lot better next year. I am not talking about the President's trophy but a team that is built for the playoffs.

You are wearing rose coloured glasses...the prospects are just that...pipe dreams...
We are where we are because we have a great coach, not because of talent...we are old and crusty and we need to reboot #byebyeKB3andFarhan(again)

Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
I think Ottawa is just out of gas. Can't see them coming back down 2-0. They looked tired out there.
Same for Islanders, they looked tired the last half their game. Halak certainly has not been the Halak we saw first half the season. And what's up with Washington not starting Holtby? But they won.
Nashville just holding on in the third with Weber out with an injury. Chicago looking good, Kane looking healed, Sharp looks good too. But now Hawks take a stupid penalty. Preds need to capitalize.

Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Nashville has blown it open, 5-2, with five minutes left. Crawford back in tonight and I wonder if that's it for him come game three?
Edit: 6-2.

Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Gotta think Crawford is done for this series. Can't imagine the Hawks winning the cup on Darling's back.Hockey Widow wrote:Nashville has blown it open, 5-2, with five minutes left. Crawford back in tonight and I wonder if that's it for him come game three?

Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Crawford looking VERY average through 2 games.
I never thought he was a good goaltender, just playing behind an incredible team. Still, I took him in my pool because I figured Chicago would go deep and he'd get some wins. Fucking Crawford.

Off the charts.
I can't tell the difference, can you tell the difference....
Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Nice to see Chicago's goaltending implode after what they did to Lalongo all those years ago (Twice!).
Re: Round One 2015 Playoffs
Kesler imploding this game.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Ya he is running around trying to atone for the Winnipeg goal. But when he is playing like that he can steal a game.

He should have gotten a game or two
