Be careful what you wish for, Evan. Jose One-or-fewer against the Rangers.
Evan
Touche Manny! Though and I may bite my tongue here as well but we’ve remarkably few instances this year of making opposing mediocre goalies look like the second coming of Ken Dryden (perhaps just Mike Smith, but he’s playing pretty darn well right now).
We normally have at least 6 a year.
Manny
It’s true. God forbid whoever we play has to start a rookie! That would be a recipe for disaster.
Doodie Machetto
Carp, how would you sum up the personality of the team at practice and in the locker room?

Completely Agree. Two words to be terrified of: Braden Holtby

Good afternoon, Carp! Hope the live chat went well.

can you be more specific about whether Kreider is going to be here in the playoffs? What do u mean by no?
Eddie eddie Eddie
I hope we play the Fla marlins first rd. Buffalo and the craps are at least capable of an upset. However, if Fla wins the division. I think NJ beats them in rd 1 which means we likely that the devils in rd 2. Then either bruins/Pitt/filthy for the right to play for the cup. My money is on a Stl – NYR final – we win in 6
oleosmirf
no way does St. Louis get to the cup. Not enough offense…
You don’t need the best offense to win the Cup Blues definitely have a shot.
Too bad Kreider isn’t here right now. This would be a perfect time to give him a look. Rest a player or two in his place.
Eddie eddie Eddie
Oleo Defense wins championships. This is true in any sport.
oleosmirf
e3
not in hockey. You can count on one hand how many teams win the cup without a dynamic offensive player. I don’t watch enough of their games to know whether its the system or the players, but I don’t expect Elliot or Halak to do what Thomas did
Don’t be fooled by what the Bruins did last year. That was a statistical anomoly…
It was me who went 8-for-8 in the first round predictions contest last year. But Doodie’s 7-for-8 was much better, apparently…
Manny
Don’t be a europansy about losing, LW. Take it like a Man (an American man).
Eddie eddie Eddie
Oleo – respectfully, I disagree. The blues could be looking at 110 Pts. this season. They could come out of the west for sure. Hockey playoffs are about tight checking, good special teams, tough D, and winning face offs. Offense may be pretty but ask the capitals how far an elite O can take you. The wings are an example of not needing a world class net minder, but their back checking and D are/were world class.
Eddie eddie Eddie
If I have said it once, I have said it 10 times. I hope Det and Stl meet up in the post season for the obvious reasons.
Eddie eddie Eddie
LW sorry, but try going 100% in the first rd not just 8-8.
Stall18
Did anyone notice that NONE of NYC’s Daily Newspapers (Post Daily News or Newsday) had a picture of the Rangers on the back cover today? It was a picture of the Knicks losing again. First overall in the Conference, first place, just a small banner on each that they won. It really shows how hockey is # 4 in this town. I remember a few years ago when Rosi scored in OT in the playoffs and the lead sports story on the local TV channels that evening was the Yankees won a game in April.
oleosmirf
e3
what they have done in the regular season is very impressive, however, playoff hockey is a completely different style of play than regular season. You can’t rely on hustle and grinding. You have to be able to score against the best teams in the league and I don’t see how they can go and beat Vancouver or Nashville.
St. Louis struggles to score and offensively challenged teams don’t do well in the playoffs. Obviously you have to be solid defensively, but offense is the one thing that a team must have…
Blogmama
Good evening all! Stall, I was thinking the exact thing today. Unbelievable.
Any news on Hank’s arm?
eddie eddie eddie
oleo – the blues flat out destroyed us,,,,they arent high flying, agreed, but they play a very physical game and can wear down any team they play in a series,,,,Van. was a better team last year imo. Nashville is a good team and i wasnt surprised at all last year. I wouldnt call them an offensive juggernaut tho…they play great with a lead, granted, but not as well when behind….
Devils won all those cups with what 50-goal scorers, exactly? Philly reached final two years ago with what dynamic offense?
oleosmirf
e3
you cannot look at how teams did vs. each other in the regular season. Its a completely different game. Usually in the regular season, the team that plays harder or with the most effort wins.
Playoff hockey is different because both teams almost always show up with maximum effort so that advantage is gone. Games are usually lower scoring as the defensive game is much tighter. That is why offense is so important b/c the top players find a way to score regardless of how great the defense and goaltending is.
oleosmirf
Carp
I’m not talking about 50 goal scorers, i mean the 30-35+ guys. In 00-01 the Devils had 3 of em and Mogilny and Elias both had 40.
The Blues rely on low 20 goal scorers which just wont cut it in the playoffs as you can’t win 2-1 every night.
Oleo, you don’t have to win 2-1 every night. Just 4 out of 7.
JimboWoodside
Stall, it is what it is – this is nothing new, and I don’t ever expect it to change. New York sports writers and media types either dislike or simply ignore hockey stories, unless they can exploit the violence aspect of the game.
You can take the very obvious attitude of someone like Mike Francesa, who boasts about his ignorance of hockey, and just basically assume that most NY sports media types (with a few exceptions) feel the same way.
To them, hockey isn’t an “American” game, nor is it fashionable like soccer sometimes becomes when the World Cup comes along every 4 years. This despite the fact that more and more Americans are now in professional hockey. To these enlightened sports gurus, the game is full of Canadians and Europeans, and is a “niche sport” that deserves little coverage. Some suspect that it is even racist, despite the league’s efforts to make the sport more “inclusive”.
If you want to see hockey stories on the back page of newspapers, I think you’ll need to move to Canada, or maybe Minnesota or some other northern-tier state.
Halak took the Habs to the conference final a few seasons ago, and the Habs were not that great a team. I think they were 8th place. Blues are much better defensively. They’re not highly offensive. They only have one 20+ goal scorer, 50 point guy, which is Backes. Oshie is not far behind him with 19 goals, 40+ points. They have a good team. They can definitely go all the way if Halak plays the way he did the last time he was in the playoffs.
I finally found the B&J’s flavor “Schweddy Balls”! I’ve been looking all over for it since it’s recall. It’s the “Avery” of B&J’s.
oleosmirf
Orr
that’s the thing though. Unless Halak/Elliot plays like Roy in his prime, I don’t see how they score enough to win 16 playoff games.
They are going to be a dominant team down the road though once they sign an impact player (I think Parise is perfect for them) and once Tarasenko comes to North America…
Eddie eddie Eddie
Orr said BJ
Eddie eddie Eddie
Oleo – again, I respectfully disagree. If you at teams over the last 30 years that won the cup, you will not find a one of them that didn’t play excellent defensive hockey. Name your game, but good pitching beats good hitting is not just s cliche.
Yeah, I agree, they’ll definitely be one of the top teams.
One player they have, who’s supposed to be one of their top goal scorers, is Chris Stewart. He’s having a Dublowsky type season. Last two seasons he’s had 20+ goals. Only 15 this year.

eddie- “the blues flat out destroyed us”
The Blues were on 5 days rest, Rangers were playing their 5th game in 8 days after traveling. Yeah, they took it to us good but they also caught the Rangers in a pretty favorable spot.
Still, it was only 2-1 after 2 periods, then a fluke goal that deflects off of Girardi’s shoulder and over Hanks. Add EN goal. 4-1.
The game winning goal in that Blues/NYR game was a flukey goal, wasn’t it? Girardi did something, but I can’t remember exactly what.

DDE – while the score was 2-1 at one point, I thought the rangers were horribly flat, clearly out hit, out hustled and outplayed. Excuses can be made, granted, but that was one terrible game.

Pimp – nothing beats high fructose corn syrup. It’s delicious, healthy, and an important addition to any good nutritional plan.
Bolts/Habs coming up in a few minutes. Price is out for the season with a concussion, so Budaj is probably in net. Great chance for Stamkos to get to 60.

the things id do to get Datsyuk to the NYR…
Would you give Hartnell a sponge bath?
a bunch of NHL “stars” could learn a thing or two from Datsyuk on how to be a professional and a star at the same time

Its Costas Tonight, with the great Bob Costas. Did u see those action shots of him, deep in thought? A true professional right there…
bob costas in under 4 ft. tall, dyes his hair, and has had several face lifts…..aside from that, what’s not to like?

IF you are out there I have a question since I was at the spa for the live chat….
If you could add any one of these guys (I understand some would require a trade and parise is a potential UFA) for a “reasonable” price, who would it be, why, and in what order would you rank them?
Iginla, parise, nash, ryan, or someone else?
TYIA
I would go with Christensen. He’s going to break out next year.
Go Bucks!
My order: – Parise – Ryan – Nash – Iginla
Anybody want to see a picture of a pig in a tuxedo?

Parise, because they can get him without giving up anything, wicky. And he’s better than Nash.
Jewpacabra! Love it!
carp

Eddie etc.
I sure that we will handily beat the Florida Marlins, after all what baseball team can stand up to a hockey team, on or off the ice hmmm? Besides I hear that Reyes is not so good on skates.
