2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs thread

The predators have been my pick to win since the first round. I hope they win mainly because I want to see Suban get hold of the cup.

A Sens Vs Preds final would mean I would be happy with the outcome of either. 

Basically fvck the penguins.

If the Pens win the Stanley Cup again it will be so anticlimactic and "meh."

Agreed. And unfortunately everything seems to be lining up for them. They're getting healthy at the right time, they're getting scoring from a bunch of different players (7 in the last game), and have the luxury of bringing a Stanley Cup winning goalie off the bench when their other Stanley Cup winning goalie has a bad game.

I'm still giving the Preds a punchers chance though if Rinne can steal a game or 2.

I'm definitely pulling for the Preds, Great city and the fans deserve it.

My sister in law moved to Nashville 2 years ago.  I've been to a lot of other NHL arenas and I think they have by far the best combination of arena, atmosphere, location in the league.  I can't imagine how wild it would have been down on Broadway last night.  

Unfortunately, I was in Nashville for games 1 and 2 vs the Blues (Played in St Louis) and then in St Louis two weeks ago during game 6 in Nashville.  I was SOOOO close to being all over that series.

How can the Sens come out in the 2nd and get outside 15+ to 3?

In an elimination game no less. 

Sens are looking like.. well, they're looking like what many expected them to against the Penguins.

Yet they now have a 1 goal lead! :D

Crosby is such a fvcking bitch

 

 

Just saw Mike Hoffman squirted Crosby with a water bottle from the bench. :lol:

They were really on a mission to get under his skin all game.

Anecdotal, but 2nd periods can be weird (long change).

Sens/Preds is a loss for ratings, but a win for hockey.

Are ratings ever good for hockey compared to the other 3 major sports? Was LA/NY in 2014 one of the highest rated SCFs? Just curious.

Losers over at HFboards bitch about the ratings as if they're some sort of reason the Sens and their fans should be ashamed they've made it this far in the playoffs.

2000 ECF against the Flyers could easily be added to this list.  Great game, Lindros drama, late 3rd period goal by Elias.

Absolutely, it should've been on the list over a couple of the other choices.

The ratings for hockey always suck nationally- I'm sure the Rags-Kings Final did decent numbers in NY and LA, but nationally I doubt it did much better than any other SCF.

The Preds seemed to have tapped into something nationally.  They might actually be a decent draw especially if they go up against the Pens.  With the huge country singers all getting on board, I'm sure they'll draw some casual interest from areas that they never gotten to tune in before.  I can't imagine Garth Brooks isn't going to do the anthem for game 3.

For a lot of people, hockey just doesn't take. I have friends that I've taken to games who LOVE baseball, football, basketball...and when they're at the hockey game, they seem like they're feeling it...but can take it or leave it when the game's over.  Some of them claim to be more into playoff hockey, but even then, just no real passion for watching.  Hell, I watched about 80% of the sh!tstorm that was the last third of the season...I can't help myself.
