OOTS 11/12 playoff edition

[Per]

Nice goal for the Devils by Larsson, who had been a healthy scratch for the first six playoff games.
Guess this means he may get to play next game as well?

Everytime I see Kopitar score, I die a little bit inside.

Better than being dead.

[Fred]

Watching the Ranger more these days makes me admire Ryan Callahan. What a horse this guy is. I'd have to say similar to Kesler but a bit better

So LA is up 3-0 in games. Where are all the pundits now talking about how bad the Canucks are? Perhaps LA is just that good??

They are certainly on a roll....sustainable, we will see I guess.

In recent typical Canucks fashion -- lose to a team in the playoffs and that team will eventually go on to win the Cup.

So it's a safe bet to bet your life savings on LA going all the way to win Lord Stanley this year.

Giant killers, first us, then St. Louis. hard for them to comeback from 3-0 as we know... wow, this post-season is anyones guess, but some did pick LA as dark horse favourites to win this year...would love to see Caps-Kings final...I'd watch that, I wouldn't watch a Rags-Preds final

[Larry Goodenough]

LA didn't win last night's game, Elliott lost it, badly.

However, don't be fooled by LA's 8th seed. They lost some points early with their poor start. They also had the 5th best puck possession numbers in the whole league.

They became a different team at the deadline when they traded Johnson, who was a liability defensively and forced his coaches to deploy him against the opponents bottom six for the past few seasons and bolstered their scoring problems in getting Carter in return. A perfect trade, getting better defensively and offensively in one day. A trade that changed a team that was losing alot of one goal games into a team that wins alot of one goal games.

A Kings-Flyers final would be damn entertaining.

Richards/Carter vs. the new Philly

[Puck]

Actually the Devil's are looking pretty entertaining, too. Who would have guessed that? Damn good night from Kovulchuk.

Not to mention Parise.

But he's too small.

Just imagine that effort level, vision and talent to complement our second line with a healthy Kesler.

Good for nothing commie is probably still awake partying and celebrating his goal.

Meh, I find the Flyers game...well, boring....Caps are much more explosive...

[herb]

I'm finding the Devils to be a surprisingly exciting team to watch. If there's a team I'm pulling for, it's them. Brodeur is a favourite of mine, and I can't help but root for Kovalchuk. I am also starting to <3 Parise...he would be a perfect addition to any team. Between he and Suter I don't know who is going to get the bigger contract offers this off season, but it's probably going to be close!

[donlever]

I keep having this awful dream.

Suter and Parise are American.

The Wings have 20 million in cap space available...
