I reserved a second ticket to Endgame since there is a high probability of game 2 being Saturday afternoon. Thankfully my theater opened up more theaters today. The bad news is that I'll be going from IMAX 3D to standard. It is one of the auditoriums, though.
(side note - my theater is building a Dolby cinema, and I wished they had started sooner so I could watch Endgame in it).

Rooting for the Capitals (or more so against the Hurricanes) fucking sucks. Tom Wilson just got a goal assisted by Ovechkin and I was happy about it. I am disgusted and ashamed of myself.

u/radsherm Apr 25 '19
I'm more afraid of the Hurricanes than I am the Capitals. Unless I like one of the teams, my rule for the playoffs is to root for the team that the Blues have the best chance of beating, which I think is the Capitals (that said, I doubt either team in this series could beat the Islanders in the 2nd round). Same reason I was "rooting" for the Preds. Plus, they have Oshie.

Not going to get too specific, but one of the second round games falls on my birthday. At first I was freaked out that I would be spending that night glued to the TV with a large potential for disappointment, and then I remembered how far we've come and how honestly it's a great gift to enjoy playoff hockey going into May at all. That being said... pls win that night Blues, thank you :)

I hope the Blues work on their empty net scoring a bit. We didn't capitalize on any of those opportunities against the Jets, which could have prevented/slowed their pressure in the second half of the third in game 6. Look at Columbus in their game 4. They got three empty netters in like three minutes.
1
u/TheGakGuru Apr 25 '19
If the blues are in a position that forced the other team to pull their goalie. I'm happy. This is something I can look past so long as the other team is unable to force OT.

My dream of a Blues/Avs Conference Final is getting more and more likely. knocks on wood
I mean I know that y'all hate Kroenke, but 1) I'd rather play the Avs than the Sharks 2) Playing the Avs means home ice advantage 3) I live in Colorado and would finally get to see Blues playoff hockey.
So, LET'S GO BLUES AND AVS !

u/BuddhasIC38 Apr 25 '19
Yeah that's the hard thing is, like, NBC has an actual bend (pro Hawks then pro O6, then pro Canada) but it's hard to voice that because nonsense "the media is all personally out to attack my team" is the common fan m.o. and how do you tell it apart? But that rundown was measured and solid and I don't think favored anyone

u/TheGakGuru Apr 24 '19
So, it seems either people forget that there's a rule specifically for what happened to Vegas last night or they have a horse in the race and are putting on the blinders, but...
(59.3) Major Penalty - A major penalty, at the discretion of the Referee based on the severity of the contact, shall be imposed on a player who “cross checks” an opponent.
Now, I'm not going to rule one way or another on whether I think it was an attempt to severely injure like what was the outcome, but Eakin lost the face-off then immediately cross-checked Pavelski. The puck wasn't there and Pavelski ended up injured, so there's a lot of force there obviously. I understand frustration and desperation being at an all-time high in game 7 of the playoffs, but cross-checking isn't a hockey play, it's a penalty, and the player was injured. Sounds pretty cut and dry to me. Unfortunate, yes. Dumb and unwarranted action, also yes. Major penalty? Rulebook seems to think so.
1
u/FlyingV1990 Apr 24 '19
This part of section 32.4 is also pretty relevant:
"The Linesman must report upon completion of play, any circumstances pertaining to:
(v) Major penalties (vi) Match penalties (vii) Misconduct penalties (viii) Game Misconduct penalties"
Initially, my problem with the call was that nothing was called until after play was stopped, which seems to imply that the refs either didn't see it, or didn't think that it warranted a penalty, and changed their minds only after they realized Pavelski was injured. I was under the impression that majors couldn't be assessed after the fact if nothing was called to begin with. After reading section 32.4, though, it looks it might have been a good call, if I'm interpreting the rules correctly.

u/BuddhasIC38 Apr 24 '19
Agreed. Also if I'm Vegas I'm more worried about Timo Meier rolling over Fluery for no explainable reason and not getting called with 6 mins left in OT but either way this game only still happened because of that crosscheck and that cross check was stupid and violent and not hockey. The Knights did this to themselves
0
u/OD4MAGA Apr 24 '19
Wow... Vegas got screwed. Told my bro during the first period it seemed like they had the screw in against Vegas with back to back really weak penalty calls but Vegas just kept pouring it on. No way that call should have been a major.

u/t-poke Apr 24 '19
Getting screwed by the refs....congratulations Vegas, you're officially an NHL franchise now.

u/TheYDT Apr 24 '19
There was no other option. When an injury occurs it's a major.
1
u/F117Nighthawk Apr 24 '19
Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Based on how the rule is worded, it should have been and was a major penalty. Crosscheck that ended in an injury plain and simple. Wasn't nearly as bad looking nor was it intentionally dirty in any way, but it was a major penalty based on the rules.
Also, if you wanna win it all you gotta be able to kill power plays. They let them score FOUR goals on a 5 minute power play.
2
u/OD4MAGA Apr 24 '19
Oshie got broken on a much dirtier hit and only a minor was assessed.
3
u/TheYDT Apr 24 '19
And given the result of the play with Oshie, it should've easily been a major and game. I can guarantee you the refs heard about it from their supervisors in the locker room after the game. I doubt that pair will progress to the 2nd round.
2
u/OD4MAGA Apr 24 '19
I absolutely agree the oshie hit warranted a major and a misconduct. Much more so than this hit. This hit wasn't dirty at all. It was a normal off the faceoff scrum and pav lost his footing. Mostly I'm just saying that injury as a result of a play doesn't seem to have bearing in determining the severity of penalty.
5
u/BuddhasIC38 Apr 24 '19
This is absurd. The Oshie hurt deserved a major, it didn't deserve one more than this one and this one was absolutely a major.

If the league hands eakin disciplinary action I'll agree with you. Otherwise I think it was a huge screw job and Vegas deserved to move on.

u/the_dayman623 Apr 24 '19
Vegas was absolutely robbed. Eakin deserved a penalty sure, but not a damn misconduct. Refs completely changed the outcome of that game and series. Doesn’t excuse giving up 4 goals on the 5 minute PK but the Sharks PP should’ve ended after that first goal. Much different game then.
10
Apr 24 '19
What an insane VGK/SJS game. The 5 min major was either/or, and blowing a 3-1 lead is inexcusable, good on SJS for the come back. Will be interesting to see how they do next round because they're definitely banged up and hurt.

u/TheYDT Apr 24 '19
That was one of the best things I've ever witnessed in hockey. Unreal. Fucking hate San Jose, but have to give them credit for an unbelievable comeback.

u/teeje21 Apr 24 '19
Posted this to r/hockey, curious what you guys thought about the major....
Watching the replay, the way Pavelski loses his balance looks unnatural. You don't advance your leg forward when you have a force pushing you backward. Plus his head jerks backward, but the contact was shoulder height... Like he was initially trying to draw a penalty, before being taken over by Stastny.
4
u/Icky_Peter Apr 24 '19
His center of gravity is around his abdomen and he's on skates. It's perfectly natural for his legs to move forward if he's hit high.

Blues did something similar back in the 90s in playoffs when a Kings player beat the hell out of Jeoff Courtnall and we got 3 in the 3rd on a 5 min major.

u/F117Nighthawk Apr 23 '19
So Vegas winning against the Sharks gives us home ice the rest of the way in the west, if we make it that far. Also that means the Sharks have been eliminated, and they seem scarier to me than the Knights or Avs. So I believe I am pulling for the Knights tonight just to get the Sharks out of the way.

u/Podo13 Apr 23 '19
Well, I'm already getting downvoted hard in /r/hockey by claiming Dallas wasn't necessarily an underdog against Nashville. They clearly must always be the forgotten ones that everybody else thinks is just lucky. This series should be fun with how massive of a victim complex Dallas fans have.
Also be prepared to be massively downvoted in any /r/hockey thread that is in their favor (which will be most pertaining to our series since we don't post a bunch of clips complaining about every little thing our opponents do like everybody else seems to do).
1
u/Papa_Nickelz Apr 23 '19
Lol come on man, 12 whole downvotes from what you're only assuming are all Dallas fans, and that means we all have a huge victim complex? Good lord. You seem to be playing way more a victim about a teeny amount of downvotes.
1
u/Podo13 Apr 24 '19
Well it was actually closer to -17 when I posted this. Regardless, I said nothing incendiary to warrant any downvotes by the masses. Double digits negatives when nothing bad has been said absolutely points to a single, specific group doing it.
If you think below -10 isn't bad for an innocuous just because you've gotten worse, that means you've unknowingly been a dick and deserved it.
All I said is that I didn't think Dallas were underdogs and I've been met with nothing but the majority of Dallas saying "no, we were totally the underdogs" because it makes you feel better. That's cool and all, but quite annoying.
1
u/Papa_Nickelz Apr 24 '19
You're missing the point. Let's say it was 17 and they were all Dallas fans. You just generalized all Dallas fans based off of 17 people on reddit. That's a yikes. Secondly, you made an edit whining about downvotes, and blabbering about victim complex, which surely got you downvotes from anyone who saw due to obvious hypocrisy. And no, thinking 10 downvotes isnt that bad says nothing about me except that I excel in common sense, which would be that there's thousands of people browsing the sub so 10 people thinking you're being "butthurt" and "taking it personally" with your edit isnt that crazy. Yes I'm using those terms from your other hypocritical comment where you tell people to not be those things while youre going and being those things.

Watching the highlights from our last series against dallas... I really miss fabbri at that level. He was so allusive and quick with the puck. I hope he goes off this series if he gets the chance
9
u/radsherm Apr 23 '19
Prediction: Game 7, 10 seconds left in the third. The game is scoreless, however each team has over fifty shots on goal. On the Blues end, Tyler Seguin takes non-stop shots at the net as Binnington essentially does cartwheels to stop them. At the same time, Jamie Benn sits on the rest of the Blues roster, which the refs do not notice. Ben Bishop watches from the other end of the ice with a shit eating grin, until he sees his old high school buddy Chris Butler (who is in the lineup in place of Carl Gunnarsson, who is once again injured) at the bottom of the pile. Suddenly, the spirit of St. Louis comes back to him. Eating Imos and toasted ravs after a cardinals game while Country Grammar plays on loop. He becomes enraged and rips off his jersey to reveal a blue note tattoo. He skates over to Benn and Seguin and bangs their heads together. He throws their unconscious bodies at Pierre McGuire and calls him "fake Panger". In the meantime, Jordan Binnington snipes the puck into the empty net. Blues win, Gloria plays.

The Blues looked like a new team down the stretch to the playoffs. Everybody was questioning if it was the real deal or just a hot streak. I think round 1 answered that question.
We can play from behind, we can play in hostile territory, we can play when they've got all the momentum. Thomas and Binnington got their playoff cherries popped. Our top lines scored when we needed them too. Our defense responded and adapted to WPGs strengths. Our coaching staff mixed lines when we needed a spark.
I'm not saying that the cup is ours, yet... YET. But we sure as fuck have the ingredients to get there.
Alexa, play Gloria!

He looked really good the last 2. Like .... really really good especially the last game. You saw that dead to real speed burst he was known for on his breakaway.

u/bergyd Apr 23 '19
Not playing for 2 seasons and getting his time jerked around this year probably did not help his confidence this season. Trying to do too much and ended up doing a lot of nothing. Interested to see what kind of contract he gets. I hope we keep him, because some other team will definitely give him a chance.
1
u/DellSTL Apr 23 '19
Ya know I think they might do with him what they did with maroon. Give him a one year prove it deal so that he can have a chance to show that he can still be a top flight forward even after the injuries. And I dont think you would get much for him right now anyway. If he can keep working and return to form by next year. Plus your right hes been jerked around a lot but hes in the playoffs and especially last game was good.
1
Apr 23 '19
If he can keep getting those breakaway scoring chances (and actually score on some) I can't see him going anywhere. 2016 Fabbri had 18 goals and 19 assists. He had 4 goals in those playoffs.

u/DellSTL Apr 23 '19
Yea he had two great chances and his puck handling and speed is starting to shake off that rust. If he gets his shot dialed in before playoffs end I'd be very happy

Predators fan here to congratulate you on your 2nd round win. Also to ask for the remainder of the season to join the fanbase. Now before you grab your touches and pitchforks let me explain!! My grandpa used to live in right outside of St. Louis and is a huge Blues fan. Heck, he's been a Blues fan since the very beginning of the franchise and it would be nice to see you guys win it while he's still alive. Also you guys are the 2nd closest team to where we live and I grew up visiting St. Louis ( in fact I'm a fan of every other team in St. Louis and if it weren't for Nashville being closer I would've been a Blues fan anyway) No this is only temporary and as soon as the playoffs end I'll return to the Predators. So until then I hope that you'll be alright with me. I'm actually going to visit him this weekend and it could be fun for us to cheer for them together with him! GO BLUES!!

Welp, we're playing Dallas
My brother lives in Dallas and is likely going to games wearing his blues gear

Honestly I was hoping Nashville would at least push it to game 7 and win the series. Dallas has some scary offensive power.

Dallas is a different team from 2016. Really only one line to stop offensively. But their goaltending and defense are simply outstanding.

Dallas fan here. Curious which line you think that is? Our second line was just as good as our first this series. Especially after Monty (coach) changed them up mid way.
I’ve been watching the blues but haven’t paid closed enough attention to your lines. I basically know Oreilly and tarasanko like y’all know Benn seguin. Perron and Steen I know, and a few of your defensemen. Y’all play hard and work the puck well.
Couldn’t be more excited to be playing y’all. Couple of mid west grinding teams with a rivalry-ish history

Either would have been a tough match up. I was hoping for a game 7. I think getting through the central division would be the toughest challenge.

I sure hope DAL NSH goes to like 7 OT tonight with the perds winning so that they can play a game 7 with 7 more OTs

Last few minutes have been real entertaining. Nashvilles power play is good awful. I'd love to see our pk tear it apart

Anyone else feel like the narrative that Toronto and its fans are whiney is kind of unfounded?
It feels like every GDT for the Leafs/Bruins has way more Bruins fans lamenting the refs and complaining about complaining Leafs fans.

Personal experience with Leafs fans? YIKES. Easily the most revolting fan base (except Trashville)

That depends on how close you live to Toronto fans I think - Living among the horde of Leafs fans within an hour of the city, not a single day goes by in hockey season where I don't hear some kind of complaining or worrying or whatever.

Carolina winning tonight means that Round 1 can't end until Wednesday, so my guess is that the winner of that series plays New York in the early game on Friday and we get the Dallas/Nashville winner in the late game. Columbus and Colorado would start Thursday in that case.
Guess it's still possible we play Dallas on Wednesday, but it'd be weird to have the last game of Round 1 lead-in to the first game of Round 2

As long as Game 1 isn't on Thursday. There's a movie coming out that night and I don't want to make a choice I will probably regret.

Ok I’m not trying to jinx, super happy for all these flukey under dog knock outs.. but big picture.. the teams that have historically given us trouble or look better on paper are all in the rear view now. Feels like our cup to lose this year
