Hockey Season

Seasons Greetings!!

So , is your team still skating ? I am watching the greatest player on the planet who scored two really fast goals to start the 2nd period , to stun the Capitals fans. The Pens dismantled the Blue Jackets in 5. This series is always very competitive, and many commentators
Think the winner of this series will take the Cup. Fluery has been playing very well for the injured Murray , who got hurt before the first round.
Ahhhh , spring, flowers , warm weather, and the chase for the cup!!!

Habs fan first, then Toronto, then any Canadian team.

If all the Canuck teams get bounced, I look to support the Penns if they are still in it.

Alexander the Great rules!

Hope this is the year for the Caps. Now when Hawks are out of playoffs (what a shameful series!), I am enjoying the East cost battle.

I used to live in Edmonton, but I much prefer where I am now in BC. Still can't help cheering for the Oilers and Eskimos though.

Awesome, Enjoy the game !!

Great victory for the Blues!!
Oilers in control .

was at Rogers Place to watch the Oiler.. the early goal by Anaheim was a bummer.. silenced the fans right away. they battled back but Ducks got a go ahead goal right after the game was tied.

oh well, nobody expected the Oilers to sweep the series, I hope they bounce back like the way they did after losing by 7 goals to the Sharks

Nashville looks super !! St. Louis is in trouble !!
Washington has dug a deep whole for themselves. Washington is out shooting Pittsburgh and playing well, but needs better goaltending . Fluery has been standing on his head!!

Pittsburgh needs to spend more time in offense, forechecking. Being out shot by 20 shots each night is not good. But Kessel playing great , Sid doing everything!!
What a pretty goal by McDavid!
Devastating loss for the Rangers!! 6-5 in double OT. Two 2 goal leads for NY and could not put them away !! Lundqvist not playing well . Now down 0-2 going back to NY.

Go Ducks!

Really not much of a fan, but they are kind of the home team lol.

So , a cheap , disgusting , viscous hit to the head changes the trajectory of this series.
Here is the hit :

What say you ?
Notice Ovey's slash and trip that set this in motion.
Penguins score twice in the last minute or so with their goalie pulled . Wow!!
It's a rough and tough game , but I hate to see this shit !!!
I think niskenim knew exactly what he was doing ! He was clever looking away at the play while rattling the brain of the greatest player on the planet.

Oilers....Las Vegas Fav to win....heard it on the x so it must be true.

I lived in Vancouver for 12 yrs, never could cheer for Canucks.

Go Oil!!.....I worked on the new Ice district in Edmonton.....its something to see all that construction all at once.

Heres a pic from a 30 story building I took of the new arena....Rogers Place...just about a year ago.
You can see the ground work of the new 53 and 70 story towers starting beside it.

That seems so incredible given where it's located... it wasn't that long ago when 737's took off and landed a short distance from there. Do you have a more recent picture of the building?

Let's go Rangers....

stlrman · « **Reply #19 on:** 4 May 2017, 02:57 pm »

Great victory for the Rangers, in a must win game.
Pens eek out a victory. Fluerry is still playing at super high level. Now the Caps in a 3-1 hole.
The Edmonton series looks to be awesome from the highlights I'm catching.
