hjalmarsson's pass on the kane goal was unbelievable

There was a lot of great passing last night. It was a really fun game to watch.

 

Also should have had two more super easy goals last night besides the 4 they scored. Toews missed the carom right at the net and then he pegged the goal post on the open netter.

There was also the pass to Saad with a wide open net in front of him that he didn't see coming.

That doesn't surprise me at all, his foot turn completely backwards.

 

I will give him credit, despite that he still tried to knock the puck away.

I think I read that if the Ducks win Sunday the WCF could start Tuesday in Anaheim.

Also of note:

 

@frank_seravalli: With Hawks win, #Flyers' conditional 2016 pick moved from 4th round to 3rd. It can go to 2nd if Hawks advance to SCF & Timonen plays 1/2 gms

whatever, this team isn't about developing prospects right now

Hawks vs Ducks.

 

May this go as it would in nature.

They still have to wait for the Habs-Lightning series to end though.

Right. That was a "if everything ends as soon as it can" scenario. Obviously that can't happen now.

 

Now they have to wait for Caps-Rangers game 7 as well. So Thursday would be the earliest they could play if TB won tomorrow. If Montreal wins tomorrow the series would probably start on Friday

I'm rooting for friday, so I can enjoy a late night game, and then an afternoon game 2 on Sunday.

More rest time the better, particularly for the blue liners. 72 and the Swedes are going to be playing a ton of minutes.

Yeah, I have been rough on Rosey all year, but that was fought to watch and I feel badly for him.

The injury to Perry last night looked gross. I'm blown away that he came back in that game. I thought he was done for the year/ever.

[Brian707]

I too thought Perry was done for the year. I can't stand him but that seemed to be a dirty hit by Calgary.

 

So a Thursday or Friday series start? I wonder if they have any events going on at the Honda Center this weekend that could change that.

They do have a concert on Saturday, but that wouldn't effect game 1. It would either be Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Sunday.

Cool. It all depends if Tampa-MTL goes 7. I did see if the ECF is Washington-Tampa, the Lightning's area is booked for Frozen Thurs-Sun, so not sure how they are gonna work that.

If that's the case, if they wanted to keep the series at relatively equal points, they could do Friday-Sunday-Wednesday for the Hawks-Ducks and Monday-Tuesday-Thursday for Lightning-Capitals (similar to how Games 1-2 for Hawks Kings in 2013 were played on Saturday and Sunday because of the Rolling Stones). Or I guess its possible they wait until Saturday or Sunday to start the WCF, although that would be 10-11 days off for the Hawks.

Pending unrestricted free agent Peter Regin has signed a one-year deal with Jokerit in the KHL.

 

I completely forgot he was even still in the organization.

i actually made a post about how we likely wouldn't see him next round, but i quickly deleted it.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I thought the hit on Perry looked incidental, but brutal. It had to hurt.

[cubbyvirus00]

Any intelligent thoughts on the Ducks? I dont know much about them other then they're big up front and Perry is annoying.

[Brian707]

Ducks. Deep down the middle. I think their D core isn't their strong suit. Bruce Beudreau never got to the 3rd round before. Q will outclass him by a mile as the series goes on. Ducks GD in regular season was only +11. I think Hawks in 5.

[Brian707]

Oh and Ryan Kessler. I can't stand him but he is no dummy. When he wanted out of Vancouver his two choices were #1 Hawks and #2 Ducks. He wants a Cup but he will have to wait at least another year.
