When we face Columbus in the ECF, we'll have home ice. :couch

Has such a thing happened since Ducks vs Oilers 2006?

Pretty lame and chickenshit move by the league, considering he was also suspended in the playoffs last year.

 

[cmon3]

They need to start suspending guys for the chickenshit stuff that happens that leads up to the bigger things. The spearing and slashing and crosschecking that goes uncalled until someone retaliates excessively.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Yep. Letting guys get steamed, and then policing their own games is exactly whats wrong with this post season. The NHL should be ashamed for the mockery of the game thats on display.

Goodnight Tampa.

And Forslund’s voice is gone.

 

[Punzil]

Looks like the Blue Jackets are going to the second round... Bruins or Leafs.

 

[perfectstormhits]

Ok, who predicted the Hurricanes would win more playoff games this year than Tampa Bay?

Tampa is on the two-year U. Va. path to a championship.

Jarmo Kekaleinen is lookin’ like a genius right about now.

Well of course Tampa would be the first team eliminated. This is why the NHL playoffs are the best.

 

[Punzil]

Islanders are next, sweeping the Penguins.

 

[perfectstormhits]

Down goes Pittsburgh.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

The Canes have won more playoff games this year than Tampa and Pittsburgh combined. That's hilarious.

Islanders are next, sweeping the Penguins.

Did Lewis Black call that game?

Two straight years of a complete no show from Stamkos and Kucherov in the playoffs, I remember last year how both of those “superstars” were completely invisible and here we are again.

The Bolts are the Sharks of the East. Great regular seasons. First class organization. Can’t get it done in the playoffs. The Sharks still haven’t figured it out.

If Carolina can't pull it out against Washington, I am rooting for a Finals of Vegas and Columbus. Would be hilarious to watch the battle of Ottawa trade deadline centers.

Tampa has had a lot more success in the playoffs than San Jose. In 3 of the previous 4 years, they’ve at least made the conference finals. The one year they didn’t, they missed the playoffs with 94 points. San Jose has a lot of 1st and 2nd round losses with 1 SCF appearance.
