Who's watching what?

I've got the Kings/Blues game on.  I generally dismiss west coast hockey, but this game is awesome.  The Blues are trying to match the Kings in toughness.  So far, they've been pretty successful.

Unfortunately for them, Quick is a beast.

And you?

Watching same game.  Unreal how much pressure St.L has going.  Their 4th line is thumping everyone.  Quick, ho hum, is great.  

Waiting for my boy richards to thump someone.  

Hawks-Wild is 1-1 heading to the 3rd. Minny playing a near flawless road game. Backstrom was pulled during the warmups and Harding has been great in his place.

Im not as sold as many in regards to chicago.  I think they obviously are super talented.  But i dont think their goalie or 3-4th lines are all that great.

They'll miss Bolland that's for sure. He's meant for play-off hockey.

I have both games on in split screen, Quick & Harding...WOW are they showing some play-off goaltending. And now I'll have all 3 on in about 5 min. 

Bouncing back and forth between games. So far, the LA-STL game is the better one all around. Hitting, goaltending, chippiness.... It's got it all.

King Robyn just took a skate to the face.  I don't think the blade got him, but plenty of blood on the ice anyway.

The intensity of the two games has me hopeful/optimistic the B's will shake off the malaise they've been suffering from for the last 20-25 games.

Can you imagine the outrage in here with penalties if we were kings fans.

I was just thinking the same thing.  The BDC servers would melt.

Man i didnt realize how fast and big stl are.  

Reaves.  Skating clown that can hit.  7 of them.  Hes had a heck of a game.  

Watching this LA/STL game and remembering how intense playoff hockey is, I'm really comfortable if McQuaid plays and Hamilton sits. 

In response to shuperman's comment:

Can...and does!  No mercy-curl* in that guy's game.

 

*I've been trying come up with a name for that for years.  It just came to me.  TRADEMARKED.

If Quick plays like this in Sochi, the Gold is a real possibility!

I know its only 1-0.  But this is no soccer game.  Has LA had a chance yet.  St.L def best in the game.

Hes unreal.  This should be a blow out.  

For all the heat penner takes, the dude sure brings it in the playoffs.  Hes las best player outside quick 

I may say this often.  But i fuc kin love the playoffs!

Incredible corner pick by Williams.

Why the hell was Elliot on his knees?

Watching the Min/Chi game right now. Almost forgot how great playoff hockey is.

Worst game winner since Steve Smith's gaffe.

Steen deserved one.  Man la had all momentum and a 4 min pp.  unreal.  I hate when goalies handle the puck.
