NHL 2024 playoffs

[ocnbrze]

so seeing as there are no Hockey forums here or even just a general sports forum, i am posting a hockey thread here in the NFL forums. mods move this to wherever you guys like,

anybody here watching the playoffs?

i am a HUGE Kings fan. been a diehard since Gretzky came to play here in L.A.. i am glad that we came back from losing 7-4 to the Edmonton Oilers in game 1 to win game 2 5-4 in OT. i know my boys can score, but our D and goalie needs to step up better. we have played the Oilers in the 1st round the past 2 years and lost to them each time. i hope 3rd time is the charm as they say. i can't wait for them to play tomorrow, friday. it should be a fun game to watch.

who is your team? how are they doing?

I'm a hockey fan, but the Blackhawks are rebuilding and are not in the playoffs

@ocnbrze & @AugieTN I moved the NHL thread into the MLB forum that has all sports except the NFL.
Just another thing that is hosed and is beyond a mod to fix. The NFL has just the NFL so I thought it best to keep it that way.

Out of all the sports I follow, the NHL is not one. It's certainly more exciting than golf

I'm such a big hockey fan!
Unfortunately my Detroit Red Wings missed the playoffs again, so I'm not much into it this year.
Still watching but my heart is not into it...

There are places Hockey doesn't work. I had a relative who lived in an Atlanta suburb. I went to an Atlanta Flames Hockey game and there were very few fans. I was stunned, like nobody is home. That's why they left Atlanta and became the Calgary Flames.

Could one of the Admins change the name to MLB & NHL?

It needs to be changed to an all inclusive heading like "Sports". All of the different sports... basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, you name it are under MLB right now. Only the NFL was pulled out of the pile and made a stand alone forum during the reorganization of the forums. In a perfect world, each sport would have their own forum. Considering the treads that already exist under MLB, it would be a quite a project to make that happen. Rob is aware of the problem but it has not been a priority to correct.

Let's go Leafs! Only team I follow still standing.

 

[ocnbrze]

kings just lost 6-1 to the oilers. no defense. they allowed 3 goals in the 1st period.......what an atrocious game that was from the kings.......terrible!!!!!!!

 

[ocnbrze]

well they lost 1-0 to the oilers in game 4. i can't complain about defense or goaltending, both were great. the kings only allowed 13 shots on goal....so that is a step in the right direction. next game is on wednesday so they get a few days to recup. it's all or nothing in game 5 in Edmonton.

 

[Clementine_3]

What a game 7! Unfortunately, the Leafs ended up losing in OT.

 

[Dannydet]

Yeah, I was rooting for the leafs too!

 

[ocnbrze]

Yeah my kings are out as well..... again!!!!! to the same team the past 3 years!!!! I really dislike the oilers.

 

[Dannydet]

Florida wins their first Stanley Cup!

 

[Clementine_3]

They played the better game but I reeeaaaalllly wanted the cup to go back to Canada. Maybe next year (depending on how my teams do of course!).

 

[Dannydet]

Yeah, I was torn between a Canadian team to win it again, or the underdog Florida, who hasn't won it yet.

 

[ocnbrze]

Well I'm glad Florida won. I hate the oilers so I'm equally glad they lost.

Plus I will never root for a Canadian team. I'm too American to do that.....lol
