Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
Stanley Cup playoffs begin tonight. For all of you out there here in Green Wave land who follow teams in the NHL, I dare say I have travelled further to see first round games of your favorite team. Yea, I'm in Da Burgh to add my voice to the many in PPG Paints arena for games 1 & 2 of round 1 of this years playoffs. Anyone else following your team in peson or are you just watching from your living room, man cave, or the nearest hockey friendly bar.

Go preds. Not the best season but playoffs are playoffs. Would like to see a first round upset if nothing else.

Flyers better start packing.

Re: Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
Lucky you are in Chicago because those would be fighting words for those die-hards here who would like to have had Norm Green drawn and quartered for abandoning Minnesota, aka the State of Hockey! With Boudreau as coach, everyone here is worried the Wild won't get past the Blues let alone the Blackhawks.windywave wrote:Shouldn't you be cheering for the north stars? oh wait they abandoned their lame ass fan base.MNAlum wrote:Let's go Wild!!!

Side note, with professional coaches named Boudreau and Thibodeau, you'd think we lived in Nola or Lafayette not Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Okay this was posted on one of the Penguins message boards in a "juju" thread, but not by me. But I would seriously wonder about anyone who would have a problem with this post in ANY "juju" thread, by anyone. And "juju" comes in many forms, and I particularly approve of these forms. So therefore..."Let's go Pens."

Re: Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
I'm thinking that if the Caps don't get it done this year, they never will, at least with the lineup they have this year. They have a lot of UFAs coming up this summer and they have virtually no room in ther salary cap to resign them. Window is closing for them.
Okay, time to mosey on over to the arena to see game 1 of the Jackets/Pens series.

Re: Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
Pens won last night 3-1, and in the other 2 EC games it was the Rangers over Habs and Bruins over Sens. In the WC both games went into OT with the Blues over Wild and Sharks over Oilers. No blowouts for sure. Just a case of one team squeaking out a win over the other. The remainder of games 1 upcoming tonight.

Re: Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
Big road win for the Bruins in Ottawa last night. Missing 2 top four d men, starting a kid in the top pair that had played zero nhl games and was in the ncaa under a month ago. Also missing second line center. When you have to start Riley Nash as a top 6 forward, should come as no surprise when you garner zero shots in the second period. ZERO shots in an entire period... And they still won.

Re: Because it's the Cup...2017!!!
Hawks played meh but the officiating was garbage . . . .missed a delay of game that would have given the Hawks 5-3 for 1:50+

I'll take the win on the road any day. Nice job by the Preds defense to hang tough. Will need more of that from Rinne to advance.
