GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) If Jonas Hiller was healthy, Anaheim would have won this series. The overrated Pekka Rinne was tagged for a ton of goals in this series, yet his team still won. Why did they win despite having s***ty goaltending and not many talented forwards...............? Oh, that's right. Ray f**king Emery sucks. Edited April 25, 2011 by GMRwings1983 1 evilmrt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah, but in my happyland, the Hawks' journey ends in about 29 more minutes of hockey. Would also work in the long shot scenario that the Sharks advance and the Hawks come back on the Canucks. Would be Sharks/Hawks and Wings/Preds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krystal 41 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Come on yo - his team just won their first playoff series in franchise history. That's gotta be exciting for any fan. I'd consider that right up there with other mutually exciting sports events in my fandom too. Glad the Ducks are gone My playoff pool with some friends is lookin' mighty fine! All three closed out series I've gotten right, and even tagged the perfect 4-1 for the Rangers/Caps series. 2 Vladifan and BigWillieStyle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Congratulations to the Preds. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Trotz, who always seems to put together solid, hardworking, blue-collar teams, despite not having many big name superstar players for the most part. Still, I don't want the Wings to face them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fifthandbroadway 4 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Congrats to the Preds for their first ever playoff series. Thanks, Hockeytown. Some Preds fans may not want to hear this, but it was Wings fans that helped fill our barn in the early days of the franchise. And, there were a lot of winged wheels in the arena when keeping the franchise in Nashville was touch and go. Personally, I've learned a lot of hockey from true, knowledgeable Wings fans. I appreciate that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 My condolences, Duck Guy, we've all been in your position and it's not fun. I hope to see Teemu back and I think the chances are good considering how he's played. (I said after the game to a friend "He probably wants to retire but knows he can't because he's still too good" lol) Very pleased with the result, Nashville overcame the adversity of that befuddling no-goal call on Hornqvist and overall in the series were able to generate more offense than was expected of their lineup. Loved Trotz's post game presser. Congrats to the Preds! Extremely well deserved by the organization, the players, and especially the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Sorry Ducks Guy We've all been there. You should be proud of what the Ducks managed to do with the cards they were dealt. Hopefully your goalie situation stabilizes and I'm sure your young guns are only going to get better. So what does this series mean for the Wings? It looks highly unlikely the Red Wings will play before Thursday. 2 first round games scheduled Mon, 2 on Tues and 3 possible for Wed. Who will the Wings play? There are four possible outcomes left for this round: 1. Van/SJ advance: We play SJ 2. Van/LAK advance: We play Nashville 3. SJ/Chi advance: We play Nashville 4. LAK/Chi adv: We play Chicago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, that's right. Ray f**king Emery sucks. Eloquent as always. Well done. And, of course, Rinne is overrated. And yes, the Ducks scored a ton of goals. You did think that was a ton, right?
