2014-15 Boston Bruins Thread & NHL Playoffs (minus the Bruins)

NHL Draft.

I didn't realize this, but did you know that all 4 of the top 4 teams to pick in the draft, have 2 picks in the 1st round, each? In the latest article, by Adam Kimmelman, he sheds some light on the picks and how the teams got them. READ HERE .

I'm still bitter on that pick we gave up.

Whoever is drafted directly after the Leafs 4th and 24th picks are bound to be all stars, so congrats to those teams.

 

[mommasita]

oof, quite the different score tonight..
This is going to be a series for sure..

 

[kimmar067]

One game does not make a series

....true.....true....

The whole process is mind boggling to me... LOL.

Uhhhh...the Blackhawks are the epitome of a "speed team". The Ducks might be bigger, but you can't hit what you can't catch.

Well fortunately for the Ducks the net doesn't move. They sure hit that quite a bit in game one.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

Yeah, ok.

Whatever happened to the story about Tampa Bay only selling playoff tickets to Florida residents? I'm on their e-mail list since I bought tickets to several regular season games in the past, and I've been receiving e-mails inviting me to buy tickets since the playoffs began. Would they block my order if I attempted to purchase them, or aren't enough Florida residents interested in buying them?

YEs, apparently they are blocked after...

***BREAKING NEWS***

The Bruins have announced the Don Sweeney as the team's GM. This comes as a surprise to no one.

In other news, the Western Conf playoffs have kicked it up a notch. Going to 3 almost 4 OT's. This series is already bringing up the painful memories about how good the B's/'Hawks Finals was. Neither team willing to give an inch. And the way this series is going, injuries can become a factor, as they did in 2013.

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

Now *THAT* was a playoff game! That was one of the best games I think I have ever seen. Thank God for goal posts, Corey Crawford, and Marcus Kruger!!!

 

[piglet too]

Loved last night's game, man three OTs is tough. Absolutely loved the header that Shaw made, even if it didn't count.

 

[mommasita]

The header was incredible... Glad Chicago won

Goal posts, know about those.

 

[mandy200587]

Looks like babcock is going to Toronto. 8 year deal $50 mil is what dreger is posting.

Yah, Wow... Unreal.. All Shanahan

 

[mandy200587]

Yah, Wow... Unreal.. All Shanahan

Yeah...and there's an out supposedly after 5 years.

 

[mommasita]

Yeah...and there's an out supposedly after 5 years.

I will be surprised if he makes 2

 

[mandy200587]

I will be surprised if he makes 2

Me too. There were a few teams after him: St. Louis, San Jose, Detroit, buffalo

 

[Adelle Dazeem]

Was hoping he would come to San Jose, but for that money, I'm glad he didn't. Sharks need a goalie...
