NHL Playoffs thread - Pick the Winners

I didn't say there weren't.
Are you trying to say more people here like you then the reverse?
And yes, I realize that this isn't real life. Regardless, you act like an ass here, and people dislike you because of it.
If you actually are nice in real life, then you should either act the same here. Or stop whining when people dislike you here. You actually seem to take joy in it, which always makes me wonder about your mental health.

I generally act the same here as I do in real life. I'm sure those here that know me in real life would confirm that.

Never said that either. You said 'universally despised'. I contest that. Had you said, "most folks here hate you for a reason", I'd not blink an eye at that. Yeah, I know they hate me for a reason. Why should I be surprised at that?

Regardless, you act like an ass here, and people dislike you because of it.

Really? So I go around saying that people are 'universally despised' because I don't happen to like them? Hell, a bunch of folks that have taken up the mantle of hate towards me are people that I personally have no animosity towards.

If you actually are nice in real life, then you should either act the same here. Or stop whining when people dislike you here. You actually seem to take joy in it, which always makes me wonder about your mental health.

Last I checked I am certified sane.

I generally act the same here as I do in real life. I'm sure those here that know me in real life would confirm that.

That surprises me. I had hoped you were a better person in real life than you have treated me in the past. I find that doing nice things for certain people isn't appreciated and that it makes me enemies. It's a learning experience that's for sure!

Ok, most people dislike you because you're an Ass. Happy.

You have earned my dislike.

Now back to the thread.

Go Hawks. Looking forward to tonight's game.

[Ben Kenobi]

You have earned my dislike.

You have earned mine, yet I do not dislike you as a person.

[Demonbinder]

OT!!! Glad the Hawks were able to come back after two two goal deficits. Now get the win in OT!!

[Sparrowhawk]

I sure hope the Illinoisian's are all still awake and watching this game....it has the potential to be one of those where you talk about the winning goal and the fact that you were up and watching it into the wee hours of the morning 20 years or more from now (especially being in the finals).

My two favourite "longest games" would have to be the NY Islanders/Washington Capitals in the late 80's and the Edmonton Oilers / Boston Bruins game in 1990 that ended with Petr Klima's goal

[Ming]

Finally... what a great game.

GO HAWKS!

[Demonbinder]

One for the ages! Go Hawks!

[-Jrabbit]

Hawks win! 3OT, over 112 minutes, 117 shots on goal and probably almost as many blocked... This is going to be an epic series. Wow.

[Demonbinder]

132 -- Shots attempted by the Blackhawks. They scored on four, saw Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask stop 59 more, missed the net on 23 and had 40 blocked by the Bruins' defense. Boston attempted 85 shots, 54 of which were on net.

I couldn't find if that's a record or not. 217 total shots attempted and 117 on net.

My daughter was in a text group with a lot of her friends from Boston. (who were pretty obnoxious earlier in the evening) They started to drop off as the game got later and later. They will wake up to some revenge texts this morning.

i hate overtime games
they aren't exciting
win in regulation
or 5 mins into overtime
thats fun

triple?
i didn't stay up for that nonsense

and with satelite, i was battling the thunderstorms all night

literally
i was outside in a suit of armor and a sword trying to cut the rain

[Ben Kenobi]

i didn't stay up for that nonsense

Then don't. Hockey is amazing for just this. You won't see this in any other sport.

Not even the most number of saves. That would be Roberto Luongo vs Dallas that went to 4 overtimes.

[Asher]

Too bad he blew his load during that series. He's been spent ever since.
