On another note, the Stars gave the Coyotes life yet again with their loss to Columbus. Both Dallas and Phoenix seem content to yack up the final wild card spot to the other team. This weekend could get interesting. If the Coyotes can miraculously win out, they're in.

Back for play-offs! had a vacation from the forum as all the whining was mighty irritating

although this thread has always been great, even with Mean machine's King bashing!

even so, i am pulling for the yotes over the stars.

concur with NuuX on Kings vs. Sharks. Kings looking good post olymipics and sharks, well, they are the sharks in play-off time.

Thanks! Though my team is a fucking joke right now. 6 game losing streak when they're in a playoff push? Fucking pathetic. This team has no heart right now and doesn't deserve to make the playoffs. They're infuriating to watch. They're getting what they deserve. Not a single win in April. I'm hoping several of the guys who don't wanna contribute are gone this summer. We don't need fucking passengers collecting a pay check. And a big fuck you to the Rangers for injuring Mike Smith, right when we were in a playoff push. Greiss has been a solid backup but he is no Smitty

Serves me right for getting full season tickets for two years.

Fun night at the Coyotes game last night, even though they lost again. I can't remember the last time we saw a win. At least the games are far less stressful when there's nothing to play for.

Bruins won the President's Trophy. Pretty cool although aside from Chicago, recent winners haven't had much success. They play Detroit in round 1. That was the toughest draw out of the three possible opponents for them. Hopefully the B's can win it all. I'd love to see Iginla have his Ray Bourque moment.

Sad night being a long time Oiler fan last night. Ryan Smyth's final NHL game :(

That would be cool. Guess I'll have to take down my Beantown Voodoo dolls

Off to see the swansong game vs. the flames tonight. Free tickets but I probably would've passed on them if not for Pat Quinn being honored pre-game. Hopefully we can send the guys and management off into the off-season with some good vibes to make some positive changes behind the scenes and resolve the dressing room and on-ice issues.

Fucking hate not have any home playoffs to look forward to

Congrats to The Mean Machine for winning regular season. It seems after a very good midseason and high overall standings Rob found himself in a slump. Here's to even more exciting play-offs.

22 - Capitals, Rangers
21 - Bruins
17 - Flyers, Penguins
16 - Blachkawks, Red Wings, Sharks
15 - Blues, Ducks, Maple Leafs
13 - Canadiens, Kings
10 - Blue Jackets
9 - Avalanche, Canucks
8 - Devils, Islanders, Senators, Stars
7 - Hurricanes, Lightning, Wild
5 - Coyotes, Jets, Sabres
3 - Oilers, Panthers

Damn, kind of brutal to be there for Daniel Sedin's injury

. I hope he recovers fully soon. Very scary

He's getting his cup when he signs with the Coyotes with his BFF Shane Doan. Those two hoisting a cup together would be fantastic!

Much closer than Calgary. Didn't you get eliminated from the playoffs like in February or something?

Glad to hear he should be okay. That looked pretty scary.

Fun weekend in Glendale. It's a shame that there was nothing to play for but pride but the games were still enjoyable. It was nice to not have to really stress out over the results for once.

Man, I hope so. First round matchup should be really tough. Detroit played Boston well all season and it looks like they match up well with them. Playoffs are a different beast, so we shall see. Hopefully the Bruins can play like they did in March. I'm still a little worried about the defense and PK but Boston certainly has the horses to win it all.

I believe so, but haven't seen anything yet. I can't remember if we need to create a new group or if the one from the regular season rolls over into the playoffs.

Never mind. My bad. It rolls over into the bracket challenge I think.

I'm getting ready for yet another mad dash at the end of the playoffs, handing out random small heart attacks like last year.

by **athun** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 4:25 pm

dammit, already locked out of first pick. oh well. in my Kings centric world, i did not even think of play-offs starting until tomorrow.

congrats to Kate on reg season victory. hopefully that makes yotes crumble slightly less horrible.

Thanks. I'm still shaking my head at that 7 game losing streak in the middle of a playoff push. What the hell? I wonder if things would've been different if Smitty hadn't been injured. Oh well. On to next year.
