Re: No Hockey Fans This Post Season???

Wow! Somebody is listening! Torres gets 25 game suspension. I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything less than 10 and glad the NHL took this seriously. Shanahan is off my $&#% list for now.

And the Caps made Boston's day even worse by beating the Bruins 4-3 to take the lead in the series.

Washington Capitals defense is like a Dept. of Defense.  Bruins ability to come back impressive but when the clock is zeroed it is too late...

Sorry dknight, it's gotta be tough when your used to going so deep in the playoffs.
I may have my own sour grapes soon, but in my heart, I still think the Hawks can come back in their series.

Go Hawks!!! Toews comes up with HUGE goal in OT. Smith was stopping everything, but not that one...a beauty in the top left corner that hit the bottom of the pipe to force a game 6.

Re: No Hockey Fans This Post Season???

It seems like home advantage counts for little in these playoffs - or is that a wrong impression?

Flyers did the business today, but the Caps didn't...more tension, more suspense....

Re: No Hockey Fans This Post Season???

At one point not too long ago, the home teams had a record of 8-18. That was 3 or 4 days ago. Not sure where it stands now, but no advantage for home ice that I've seen yet!

Odd isn't it Bill?!  However, I would not rule out home ice advantage next match at the Boston Garden.

Believe it! Canucks eliminated by the L.A. Kings.  Watch or for them, I suppose...or not!

Good Luck Rangers and Blackhawks...

ps-yes I like the Bruins...and the Flyers......Holtby has been great in net despite Caps down now

Home Ice advantage isn't as big of a deal as home field is in football. In football games the crowd can make quite a difference by raising a racket when the opposing offense is on the field. In hockey possession changes too rapidly and screaming your lungs off really isn't going to put the opposing goal keeper off his game. In hockey arenas it's really kind of quiet unless someone scores or there is a bit hit on the ice, or one of the refs makes a call that the crowd doesn't like.

that was very awesome, I'll continue to watch them and hope for the best. guess I should also pull for the Predators now, but know they probably don't have a chance in hell of getting to the finals. Would they be getting St Louis next by chance?

nevermind, I found it - thanks to the LA win at Vancouver, Preds will get the winner of Phoenix vs Chicago. neither sounds too tasty to me.

Nashville has a REALLY good team. There's been lots of talk about parity this year in the NHL. I believe it and, especially with thee teams remaining, think any one of these teams could win it all. I will continue to cheer for Chicago and if they play to their talent level I think they have as good of a chance as anyone, but I could easily see Nashville v Blues to see who represents the West.
