2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Dexman PE PMP]

It's comes up every year when these southern teams make the playoffs, mostly because the arena's struggle with maintaining a good ice surface on which to play. Dallas was HORRIBLE for years.

Gotta have a market though. Not all northern states could support a team. They could move to Canada, but if the dollar makes a comeback, the talent would want out of those teams.

As for horrible ice, I remember Boston having some bad ice during the 90 cup playoff against Edmonton (I think it was 90?). The Ga'den (Insert Boston accent) was foggy from the people versus the condensing units.

The hockey season is too long. The playoffs should be in March.

I gotta disagree Buff

yeah. they should condense the season like baseball.

How bout them Caps. Pushing the #1 seed to the brink.

The kings have been great too. Got rid of both the canucks and the blues...quite embarassing going 0-4....

Kings are gonna take it

Yup, and deservedly so. For games 1 and 2, it surprised me a bit. The Devils looked like they were smothering the Kings for 90% of the game, but the Kings did a better job of capitalizing (despite atrocious PP performance.) That wrap around shot to end game 2 was a hell of a shot though. Glad they're sinking NJ after the Rangers debacle.

holy cow the Kings are on Fire!!! Watched parts of the game last night. With their entire playoff awesomeness they deserve to win the cup!!!

 

[cdcengineer]

It's really amazing this run they've been on. As a Patrick Roy fan I have to root against Marty Brodeur and the Kings are really the best team this post season.

Why is this thread active? Hockey has been over for a while now.

There's a 'queen' or two out there probably taking it as well, not that there's anything wrong with that.
