So I know there are at least a few hockey fans here, and since playoffs are coming soon-ish I figured we could use a thread instead of continuing to pseudo-spam the Confessions, hah.

So the Hawks are playing the Blues right now.
The Hawks have no chance of making it to the playoffs, basically. It's not like I'm surprised. I'm getting used to it.

yeah see the hawks are funny like that.
they beat the caps 5-0 but they can't win any of the games that they have to.
it's irritating, but i guess it's always been like that.

^ My old camp counselor went to play pro hockey in sweden.
haha that's all I know about it. Is the game any different, do you know?

And the score is still 0-0. Nothing really special has happened so far.

I know there are a few minor differences, but I'm not sure exactly what the differences are. And the rink is slightly bigger in Europe, if I remember correctly.

Wow Wow
DUUUUDE, I KNOOOOW.
you have no idea how happy that made me.
srsly. i know he's so fucking amazing.
but aaaaaaaah, it's so sweet that a man from the little Finland can be something so great.

i was so scared that he wouldn't play anymore.
Finnish ice-hockey cant be the same without Selänne, Koivu and the other great guys.

the hawks won yesterday, 4-3. it was a pretty intense game.
the good news: mathematically, their chances at making the playoffs aren't yet shot!
the bad news: it's not gonna happen.

K DUDES IT'S PLAYOFF TIME.
or it has been for a couple days. but whatever.
so what are your picks?

mine:

detroit vs. nashville- i'd love to say nashville but realistically they don't stand much of a chance.
pens vs. sens- penguins dude.
flyers vs. caps- capitols.
rangers vs. devils- devils.
avs vs. wild- this is probably the toughest series, in my eyes. i'm rooting for avs.
boston vs. montreal- boston. no one likes the canadiens.
dallas vs. anaheim- i hate dallas, so therefore anaheim.
sharks vs. flames- i'm thinkin sharks.

i'm probably missing someone but whatever.

ultimately, i'd love for the finals to be penguins vs. avalanche.
penguins because for years they were the only team below the hawks, and they've managed to pick it up. they deserve something.
avalanche because i don't care on the west. none of my teams got in. this is my cute lacrosse coach's team and i think it'd be entertaining if they came close.


pens for the cup, dude.
