NHL playoffs 2016

What is the significance of this “C” y’all be talkin’ bout? Is that for “Team Captain” or something like that?

So are you trying to say…

OR…

Yeah, Captain.

Is it just an “honorific” or does the C give you extra privileges, like for slugging ref’s and that kind of thing?

You get to boss around the other players and get dibs on banging the hockey groupies.

Seems for the 4th year IN A ROW, the Ducks blow a 3-2 game lead and lose #7 at home. I think they will give the Sharks a run for their chokenado reputation.

First time I’ve seen Dallas play this year. Those guys are fast… REAL fast. I still think the Blues can take them, but they are going to need to get a lot more physical. You can’t give a team almost 50 SOG and expect to win. The Blues will also need to up their transition game or Dallas is going to be getting a lot of 2 on 1 and 3 on 2 opportunities.

Watching the Sharks Preds now. Should be a blood bath.

BIG win in Dallas today. Looked great, then grim, then in the end a statement win. Also, I was on my couch yelling for that penalty to be called. If a pick like that is going to give a scoring chance and in this case to win the game in 95% of cases it’ll be called. GOOD call be the referee.

Yeah, was looking grim there for awhile. They ramped up the physical play in this game… out hit Dallas 2 to 1. That’s the key. Gotta slow those guys down.

Sharks looking good. Jones is playing out of his head.

Game 4 going to OT in St Louie.

BOOT. THROAT!!!

This now applies to both the Sharks and Blues. The great CBC Hockey Night in Canada analyst Harry Neale (Who coached the Canucks to a Cup Final vs the Islanders) said you want to get to the final having played no more than 15, 16 games at most if at all possible.

And so I don’t sound like a broken record on Harry Neale quotes he also said beware the veteran team that underachieved during the regular season. Looking at you Penguins, on both counts.

Not exactly the ending I was hoping for in either game. Soooooo close to having that throat pinned to the floor and now it’s back to square one.

I think if Dallas wins Saturday they will win the series in 6. I think if the Blues win Saturday they will win the series in 7. No rhyme or reason to that train of thought that’s just the feeling I have.

I still believe the Sharks will best the Predators.

I wasn’t going to bring up either OT game last night…

Now THAT was the effort I have (and I’m sure many many Blues fans) have ben waiting for in a critical series-shifting win. I didn’t know how they’d handle the OT loss the other night w a chance to go up 3-1. Handled it like bosses. One more step this round.

I smell a dive…

Nah.

I just now noticed the Pens are up on the Caps 3-1. Damn, that’s a shocker.

Sharks looking good. I don’t think they’re going to blow it this time. Jones is focused and Pavelski is on fire. Moving Marleau to the 2nd line made a big difference too. I can’t see the Preds overcoming a 3-2 deficit 2 Series in a row.

Sigh. Adios Isles. I used to love those guys back in the Potvin, Bossy, Trottier days. Something about a hockey team in Tampa just never seemed right to me. Never thought I’d see the day I would actually have to root for the Penguins. Maybe the Caps can still pull it off.
