Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

That was a good game. I wanted the Caps to win but eh. They needed to produce on that power play and NY probably should have scored a shortie instead.

I was checking out BEHIND THE NET: Hockey Analysis and Statistics [new host] and their stats on Ovi; he's been a real bust this post-season, especially compared to previous ones.

I think LA's reputation as a defensive team is probably a little overblown; they had the lowest shooting % this year. Not that they aren't a good defensive team, but I think they have more offence than their GF show. They underperformed most of the year.

Yeah, OV had a subpar playoff for him, but the team player a much different style than previous years. LA's benefited from a Vezina finalist in their net, he's way underrated, if Quick was an east coast goalie he'd be getting tons of press.

They definitely underperformed, LA was picked approx. 10th overall in the league in a couple preseason rankings (TSN - 10 & ESPN - 9). Losing Simon Gagne might've contributed to that....
 



Tonight's game isn't over, but I have to say that it's been a long time since I've seen a sloppier 5 on 3 as sloppy as the one in the 3rd period tonight.

Gah!
 





New Jersey gave their fans quite a scare in game 5. I thought they were going to blow it when that third Rangers goal went in.

Game six is going to be a battle. :devil:
