That was one of the worst powerplays I've seen in these playoffs.

Five Game 7s for Tortorella, all five have ended 2-1.

If we seriously get a Phoenix/New Jersey Stanley Cup Final, I might just start believing in that 2012 nonsense.

Great game, great series.

Thanks to the Caps for being part of the best two series in the playoffs so far.

Yes! So happy my second favorite team made it to the Conference Finals! Almost as good as the Sharks making it! Lundqvist really deserves it.

Also wanted to add that I feel bad for Ovi. He did everything in his power to propel the team to victory but they came up just a few goals short.

I would give best series so far to Pittsburgh/Philly, in terms of excitement. Obviously, it wasnt good, clean hockey, but that was the only series that I watched every game (besides my Rangers)

1st round picks: 2-6. Solid.

2nd round picks:

Blues over Kings in 7
Predators over Coyotes in 5
Capitals over Rangers in 7
Flyers over Devils in 5

You know, sometimes I even amaze myself.

2nd round picks: 0-4
Overall: 2-10

Kings over Coyotes in 6
Devils over Rangers in 6

I'm left with no real rooting interest. I was starting to adopt the Caps as my team for this year, and now they're out. I guess I'll go with...the Kings?

Kings over Coyotes in 5
Rangers over Devils in 7

to set up the NY-LA cross-coast rivalry. Maybe that would be the best thing for the sport in the US? But no real notable stars (to the non-hockey fan), so maybe not...

Looking back at the first page predictions, only like 3 or 4 guys had a team making the Cup Finals that's still alive.

Re: The Official 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

With as much as Quick has carried this team it's hard to get upset with him, but that should never go in. I don't even know how to react to that.

Derek Morris for Conn Smythe.

Red line goal!

Anyone else notice every time they pan to Coyotes Coach Tippett.. there's a chick in the seats directly behind him with an amazing rack?
