riiiight.. ticky tack calls, typical, never mind..

2011-12 Playoffs (6 games) average 5.3 minor penalties a game

2010-11 Playoffs (7 games) average 4.4 minor penalties a game

2009-10 Playoffs (13 games) average 4.3 minor penalties a game

2008-09 Playoffs (24 games) average 4.0 minor penalties a game

2007-08 Playoffs (20 Games) average 6.1 minor penalties a game

2006-07 Playoffs (5 games) average 6.8 minor penalties a game

2012-13 Playoff PP Chances (7 Games) 3.5 PP's a game

2011-12 Playoff PP Chances (6 Games) 4.8 PP's a game

2010-11 Playoff PP Chances (7 Games) 5.0 PP's a game

2009-10 Playoff PP Chances (13 Games) 4.3 PP's a game

2008-09 Playoff PP Chances (24 Games) 4.0 PP's a game

2007-08 Playoff PP Chances (20 Games) 4.6 PP's a game

2006-07 Playoff PP Chances (5 Games) 5.6 PP's a game

pretty even across the board....

phantom call eh? got beat along the boards, reaches out with two hands, grabs shoulder, thats a penalty. should they call that in the playoffs? debatable.. but dont act like there was no penalty call there. maybe if the Caps worked hard in game 7, they would have earned some PP time.

anyway, onto the games.

should be a fun Bruins/Rangers series.

should be a fun Bruins/Rangers series.

That 1st period was sleep inducing. Hopefully the action picks up.

Pretty worthless first.

People expecting an exciting series? You have Rangers who play the pack it in, block shots style hockey and defensive minded Bruins. Both very similar style teams so honestly each game will be like 2-1 or 1-0.

And Hortyyy! Or Chara I'm listening to radio for now.

Tough break for Henrik. Looked like he knocked it in.

That's why everyone hates goalies leaving the net. Rask almost gave up an easy one.

What a way to draw a penalty boyle. Grab the stick, pull it into my armpit, and clamp my elbow down on it and go to the ice.

Re: The Official 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Wow. McDonagh scores and ties it at 1 with 1.3 seconds left.

Re: The Official 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Well this game finally got me to look away from my video games. Only took until the third period. Normally I like defensive battles, but not the uninspired sloppy hockey that was going on the first half of the game.

This year is really Stepan's year.

Re: The Official 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Im glad that last shot didn't go in. It would have been such a long delay and who knows if any review would have been definitive.

Re: The Official 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

Wow I've watched Carter play a little more than a season for the Kings and his release on his shot is still amazing.

Is it just me or are the Rangers and Bruins pretty much carbon copies of each other? Bruins may have a tad more talent but Lundqvist is a tad better than Rask.
And looking at the LA/San Jose score makes me shake my head at what a difference maker Quick is.
