Devilsfan118 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Pretty fascinating how Oates was our PP coach last year and half the forum wanted his head, while this year the Caps have the nr 1 ranked PP in the league. I'd argue the caps have a much more offensively gifted roster than the Devils do (did). That probably helps. And re: being hypocritical about Parise...hell fvcking yeah, of course I am. There's no room for logic in some aspects of fanhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Dose Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm guessing Abdelkader gets suspended at least long enough to potentially not see the ice again these playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Its official: Verizon Center is the official House of Horrors for the Blue Shirts. And watching the playoffs in general its amazing seeing the speed of teams against the Rangers (and even against the Devils for that matter). Outside of Hagland and maybe Nash the Caps are skating circles around the Rangers. Even in the other series of all teams Boston is now skating free. What do these teams have in common? Offensively gifted D-men who can skate and know how and when to pick their spots to jump into the play. Another thing I'm sensing out of the Capitals is Oates has really gotten his guys to mature. Green isn't a head-case, Ovie is leading and has turned around his defensive game. Yeah watching other games and especially playoffs makes it pretty obvious why the devils were not that great. Teams execute so fast, our d really killed us offensively. They always wait an extra second to make a play. They are not a big threat at all from the blueline and they dont rush the puck with speed. Cant wait to get some new guys in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 St Louis vs La is can't miss TV. I'm dragging today because I staid up to watch the end of that one last night. Much like the Philly vs Pitt series was an awesome 1st round matchup to watch last year as someone who isn't a fan of either team, this is the one I'm working my schedule around to make sure i can watch. Regardless of the Game 1 gaffee, Jon Quick is unbelievable. With his athleticism, he's one of the few goalies I don't think would miss a beat if they ever got the height of the goalie pads back to where they were in the 90's. Hopefully we can ride him to a gold next winter. (Side note:) Canada has to be worried that they're going to be lining up whoever their flavor of the week goalie is against the three best goalies in the world who could all single handedly knock them out of the tournament in Quick (USA), Lundqvist (Sweden) and Rinne (Finland).

Green isn't a head-case, Ovie is leading and has turned around his defensive game. That's always been their weak point since they started playing the way they do now, fast teams. They play a structured d, but if you're fast enough, you make it hard to stick to the plan, people will come out of position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucifersDog Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am semi watching the Isles game and doing laundry it was 4-2 Pittsburgh and now I am back and it is 4-4 The Isles have offered exciting hockey this season, good management. I want Boston to win but will add the Isles to the list. Who would have thought the Isles over the the Devils? Good job Lou? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Such garbage. Penguins got owned in the 3rd and OT, and manage to somehow draw a penalty (Off Crosby's back of course) and then steal one on the PP. Although they did hit the post twice in the 3rd, so who knows. Damn Penguins. Edited May 5, 2013 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 That's a bad job by the refs. You want to take Strait off for a hold, that's fine. Good call. But it was pretty clear to me that Crosby more than embellished. He dove. And the Isles got hosed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Islander fans will say they got jobbed, but that was a legit penalty. Can't do that in overtime. But they've exposed Pittsburgh. If the isles don't take them out, whoever they play next round will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Crosby just never ceasing to amaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Crosby went down awfully easy. I hate that penalty though. Any time the inside guy gets position, all he has to do is lean into the defending player, and then fall down. Guaranteed PP for your team. It's just stupid. The call and the dive should be called in most scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onddeck Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 this will be the first game i've watched from start to end with Parise as a Wild. I know I'm months behind everyone else here, but uhhhh wow its weird seeing him in that jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
