2013 Playoffs - Round 2 Discussion
Posted: Wed May 22, 2013 11:59 am
Well... thought I might as well start a round 2 discussion even though we're half way through.
Some intriguing story lines developing in round 2.
Sharks tie it up with two dominating performances against the Kings with Jumbo Joe and Logan Couture leading the way. Joe Thornton's performance in particular gives me hope that the Sedins will recapture their magic of past and once again lead our Nucks to the promised land. I, and everyone else, thought Joe was on the decline of his career. These playoffs say otherwise. I am also very impressed with how Dan Boyle is playing. One of the best and steadiest defensemen of the NHL I think. This is a pretty good series as both teams are playing good playoff hockey.
Wings up on the Hawks 2-1. I haven't really paid all that much attention to this series except for hearing about it on Team 1040. Ahh.. the Detroit Red Wings. The ultimate model team of consistent high performance. Gotta think the Hawks will wake up sooner or later... hopefully later.
Boston up on the Rags 3-0. Stick a fork in the Rags, they are through! Could this be the last hurrah for Torts? I think everyone's pretty sick of his schtick. Maybe we could swap coaches? AV for Torts straight up? Ultimate sadness is how bad Brad Richards is. A 60 million dollar 4th line player. . Boston seems poised to win a 2nd cup. All of their top line players are contributing with Bergeron leading the pack. 3 Rooks on their blue line playing above average hockey (Torey Krug??!?!). 4th line winning the last game. They have to be the early favorites right now.
Pens up on Sens 2-1. Go Sens. The last game was pretty awesome. Alfy tying it up in the last minute short handed and Greening (who?) winning it in 2OT. Team of destiny? Maybe if they win game 4.
