Rangers looking to better their result from last year. Isles back in the playoff. Devils at home this time (and sadly, Ryanne Clowe may never suit up again according to reports). Around the league, Kane is back, and the Bruins GM is not.
Should be a great playoffs.

Metro and Central matchups look particularly awesome this year.

I have two questions for those who use the NBC Sports App  
Mike in Long Beach : 4/17/2015 11:05 am : link
for games.

Question 1 is in regards to the Rangers tonight: I have a friend, die hard fan, who will be in Florida for a wedding tomorrow. He lives in New York City and obviously his cable info is based her, but the location of his phone will be in Florida. Will he be able to watch the Rangers on the NBC App or will he be subject to blackout restrictions due to his cable information being based in NY?

Question 2 is in regards to the Islanders: Getting wayyy ahead of myself here, but I have a wedding that would potentially happen during an Islanders ECF game. If that were to happen, I would be in New York City, but at that juncture, are all games national? My point being: would I be subject to blackout restrictions if I used the app in NYC at that point in the postseason?
by "tonight" with the Rangers

LOL.. Holtby is "sick" or something is wrong with him and the Caps had to recall Grubauer.

Can't make it up.
Holtby will play, according to Twitter.

Kings fans said that Hextall kept Lombardi grounded with his logical thought process and that he's missed.

I don't know what he's like as a GM obviously, but I find that hilarious.
Yes and no.  
Andy in Halifax : 4/17/2015 11:38 am : link
After the baseball chop, jumping up and down as if to say "are you serious?? How did you call that" was a bit much.

But in a the middle of a heated rivalry, it may have been a desperate attempt to avoid a penalty (they were already shorthanded). Not sure he's gaining any favors with teh refs though as he had a similar reaction earlier when he high sticked a Senator in the face. Not sure how that penalty was over turned, btw.

Regardless, sucks that Stone is injured but I think the refs got that one right. Brett can tell me to fuck off all day, but no way is that a minor penalty and I think 5 and a game was enough based on the action.

Losing Stone is a serious blow to Ottawa's chances. Our advantage in forward depth is gone and we already had the second best goaltender in the series.
....  
BrettNYG10 : 4/17/2015 11:40 am : link
Andy, I really hate the game misconduct. My issue is with the rule more so than the call (now that I read up on it and re-watched). 5 seemed appropriate.

Still, fuck off.
Did not hear McGuire was watching the broadcast through MSG  
The 12th Man : 4/17/2015 11:41 am : link
Can only imagine what he was saying. Downie could have had another penalty in the 3rd with about 8 minutes to go.

Islanders getting no credit, personally that makes me happy. Let them use whatever excuse they want for why they lost, I hope they are using the same ones for the Capitals again tonight.

I was surprised the Flyers fired Berube knowing how well they played down the stretch.

I said the same Wed night, I think 5 is an appropriate penalty, but it seems that's not an option. The rule should be adjusted
Both GMs

Bergevin and Murray apparently issued a warning by the league and told the league would be keeping an eye on the series (no shock there).

As Rangers fan, didnt care who won that NYI-WAS series, but needed it to go 6-7 games so the Caps size and heavy game could wear NYI down a bit.

Amazing, isn't it?

We can't say much because we had an entire series of Tokarski in the ECF and Emery played most of the 1st rd last year but we also didn't face about 30 backups in the regular season.

I don't have much preference as far as who actually wins the series but I want it to go as long as possible and if the Caps fall into an 0-2 hole going back to LI, their chances of pushing it to even 6 games is going to be slim.
yup  
MetsAreBack : 4/17/2015 7:04 pm : link
Thats what I said earlier re: winner and series length

on Emery - mason did play 4 of those games and emery actually played pretty well for them in game 2. game 1 not even Carey price was going to beat us.... we were making it rain with quality scoring chances that night. only game we may have caught a break was game 3

and tokarski shockingly played well in the ECF. can't think of a game we won because he was in net.

but anyway it's not about having something to complain about - who cares if someone has the high ground. all teams need some luck to advance - just annoys me the islanders are getting some right now.
lmao could Grabeur be any worse?

awful fucking music in between play and it turns out that Ovechkin wants euro trash EDM music whenever he's on the ice. Dude plays on one side of the blue line and he's dictating music. Better yet, the trash bag franchise puts up with it. Garbage city.

Nashville/Chicago is really exciting hockey. I still find the Western games to be more exciting than the East overall.

I wonder if Crawford's benched.
This crap about the West better than East  
MetsAreBack : 4/18/2015 10:10 am : link
isn't true anymore. Especially if we get MTL-TBL and NYR-NYI semifinals over here.

A TBL-NYR ECF would be every bit the skill displayed in last year's CHI-LA series.

The worst two teams in the entire tournament are Vancouver and Calgary, so I feel like i'm only watching 3 playoff series out West.... Anaheim's road to the final 4 couldn't be easier.

I expect Caps-Isles to get even more intense and thrilling as the series moves on. And Wings-TBL could be a lot of fun too (I still expect TBL to roll in 6 games tops). Not surprised the clock struck midnight on Hamburglar and the Sens, but both of those games were close at least.
Not better.  
BrettNYG10 : 4/18/2015 10:11 am : link
More exciting.

The East definitely surpassed the West this year.
And I dont know much about Darling...  
MetsAreBack : 4/18/2015 10:12 am : link
but Q has quite the decision to make. Let's not forget Crawford was not particularly stellar last postseason either.
Well, so far the best individual game  
MetsAreBack : 4/18/2015 10:13 am : link
was G1 Chicago at Nashville.... but its early yet. Washington-NYI is going to produce a classic moment at some point, no doubt. Series is shaping up to go 6 minimum, and probably 7. Isles do need Hamonic back though.

BrettNYG10 : 4/18/2015 10:19 am : link
If Holtby's out for the series, the Islanders will win. Grubauer was terrible.
