Kings will live and die on the play of Quick

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

I think they'll live and die on their ability to actually score goals. Quick is shaky but offensive inconsistency is a big problem.

They looked pretty good tonight but I'm still not sold on the Kings pulling the upset.

If they can actually start getting all that talent to consistently put the puck in the net then it's another story.

I hope tonight's Chicago-Phoenix game is a little more exciting than the Detroit-Nashville game last night. I'm fully prepared to be thoroughly disappointed.(if I'm not already asleep)

Game one tonight.

So Darren Helm is out for the playoffs.

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

I've never seen something like that before.

He needs to get the rest of the series off, star D-man or not, if not the whole playoffs.

Is there a penalty for attempted murder?

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

so, will he get just 1 game, or a $2500 fine?

I'll take "none of the above".

The comical part was hearing John Shannon on Sportsnet last night say something to the tone of "Oh, they won't suspend a player of that calibre at this point in the season." And unfortunately he's probably right.

He's lucky that's all he's out for.

I didn't even see what happened to him.

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

I didn't even see what happened to him.

He went to hit Radulov, and Radulov's skate flew up and cut Helm's right wrist. Scary moment and the worst thing was that it was his first game back after another injury. We couldn't catch a break last night.

If they really wanted to lay the hammer down on stuff like that, they'd suspend Weber for the series or fine him something crazy like:



But my guess is he gets nothing or a petty fine compared to his salary.

Yeah, Zetterberg is walking and doesn't have a broken nose or face or anything. So using the genius logic that the NHL always uses in these situations, I'm fully expecting a slap on the wrist. You have to break someone's neck or face with a play like that to get a real punishment.
