The collective bile and tears of 15 teams' worth of playoff posters would make up the last two feet. Obviously.

Martytoof posted:Budaj isn't a dumpster fire so I'm hoping the Habs can keep it competitive, but we'll see. I'm just really pessimistic right now. The team itself is going to be playing worse in front of Budaj to begin with though. Losing a key player like that really bums a team out, especially this close to the finals. They will be swept, so now my hope is that Budaj can minimize the damage. At least I still have the Hawks. for now

That poo poo is already below sea level, only water at the surface is going to flood it a la Sandy. I meant that the water doesn't have to get up to 8 feet high to flood the subways. Hell, I'm pretty sure most of the tunnels have pumps that are constantly trying to keep out water that's always flowing in.

I'd say how much luckier could the Rangers get but even if they prevail here they are still going to run into one of the two most vicious meatgrinders the West has to offer.

This series isn't over at all so I'm not going to act like they got this in the bag, but if we're going off hypotheticals I think I'd want the Rangers to face Chicago. I think they matchup better than against the Kings...Kings are big enough and skilled enough that it gives the Rangers some trouble whenever they play, Chicago isn't as big and plays a style closer to the Rangers plus the Rangers beat them twice this year (and that means exactly nothing but still). Also gently caress LA I don't want them to win another cup so I'd rather Chicago win two in a row than LA win it, if the West absolutely HAS to win the cup. I think if Montreal went to the Finals I'd probably cheer for them though But in the end man you just hope you can get to the finals because at least you have a chance to win the cup. Can't win the cup if you get knocked out in the first 3 rounds.

I actually like the rangers, and like seeing teams that haven't own it in awhile, so I'm appropriately disposed to cheer for the rangers. it's just that, this MSL hate flows too strong.

darkwolf220 posted:hate Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate the Rangers since I began to post. There are 387.44 million miles of composite nanofibers in wafer thin layers that fill my hockey stick. If the word "hate" was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for the Rangers at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.

Well it was a good playoff run. Sucks that we have to protect our goalie so hard in order to have any chance of winning these. Don't know what else we realistically could have done differently to avoid what happened last year. Really wasn't expecting it to go like this against the Rangers or for their to be any possibility of bad blood with this team, but then that's what I get for starting to get confident for a moment or two after the Boston series. Habs have owned and pretty well shut this team out for a while now at home, maybe it's just some form of karma or them getting a break here.

Just heard the Price injury news. I'm sorry, HAS.  This brings back memories of 2006 where Roloson got injured in the Cup Finals and  Albino Squirrel posted:
Considering that Chris Johnston @reporterchris May 18 Beyond Dustin Tokarski, the #habs are also carrying Mike Condon with their Black Aces. Devan Dubnyk has gone home to be with his family. I'd say there's almost no chance at this point.

So Krieder is going to win the Conn Smythe now, right? The Rangers are my east team, and after the Avs were eliminated I began rooting for them. That said, I'll happily cheer for the Habs if Flanders starts. I've a soft spot for that lug.

Well that sucks. Maybe I'm just being stupid, but why don't teams just get better backup goalies? Or is it more they don't get as much experience playing actual games and that's why they always seem worse?

Budaj is perfectly fine as a serviceable backup that takes spot games during the season. It's the fact that the dropoff from Price to him is significant and there are many games in these playoffs that were it not for Price weathering a flurry of chances, the Habs would not have won that game. I do not feel that Budaj would have had success in those situations.

It's one game cmon people. Rangers won game 1 against Philly and Pittsburgh too and still took 7 games to get there, and remember that Emery was in net for Philly! I'd be totally unsurprised if the Habs win tonight and their goalie looks good e: everyone seems to be saying that Tokarski is gonna get the start so he's either going to be cool and collected and own the poo poo out of the Rangers or he's going to be nervous and shaky and own the poo poo out of the Rangers

Is there a reason why Tokarski isn't getting discussed much? He is really drat good.

They have a pretty likable team if you ignore Kreider at the moment (though he's a pretty likable guy when he's not crashing into goalies) who doesn't look at Rick Nash and think "drat that's a happy lookin' chubby dude"

Not the Toxx thread, but if the Habs win the series I'll make some sort of suitable arts dedicated to Budaj or whoever helped the Habs in net most during the series, because I'll have been so overwhelmingly wrong against all reason.Levitate posted:They have a pretty likable team if you ignore Kreider at the moment (though he's a pretty likable guy when he's not crashing into goalies) I still don't really have anything against him. I think Gallagher did basically the same thing vs Buffalo (?) and I was all "well that's just a thing that's gonna happen, sorry" so it would be pretty two-faced of me to say anything different now. Does it suck? Of course. I'm not going to be too mad at Kreider though.. I even got a mild laugh out of his "wish I'd put it in the net" comment. Maybe I'm trying to be too level headed about this. Should I be madder? I don't know. I've had all the emotion sucked out of me with this development so it's kind of  from here on out. But this isn't really livejournal or whatever so I'm not gonna go on about it. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 20:54 on May 19, 2014 |

Not to mention most big dollar goalie contracts have been laughed at for the past several years. Even if they were fine backing each other up, you're not going to ice much of a competitive team if you're paying 2 goalies $5M+ each against the cap.
