2011-12 NHL Playoffs LD

You know what this hockey broadcast has shown me?

NBC is really fucking up with their future lineup. They're putting on a show that's about a monkey doctor. I don't mean a doctor for monkeys, I mean a monkey that is a doctor.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

The Devils' PA announcer had to announce to the crowd that the first team to score in the OT period would win the game. Pathetic.

 

[justinsayne]

C'mon Devils, lets make this OT a quicky.

It's good to be in the Stanley Cup finals. Who did the Devils beat to get there again?

As you well know, two can play at this game, IDR.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I agree. Lose, in the first minute to a goal by Mike Richards!

At what game? I've never heard of an arena doing that in my life. No joke.

The sad thing is they'll put more effort into trying to make that show a success than Community, Parks & Rec. & their hockey coverage combined.

 

[Lowdown]

Quick needs to stay sharp and the Kings need to close this out like they did in Phoenix.

Me neither. And I've been to a few Devils games that go into OT, and I can't recall them ever making that announcement. I may have tuned it out because... well, I know the most basic rules of hockey, but I think it may be a Stanley Cup Finals thing to add some drama. It's kind of like how they explain the rules to the Royal Rumble every year. Everyone knows how it works, it just builds the anticipation even more.

True that. I just thought it was hilarious.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

That's the first time I've ever heard the term "apoplectic" used at a hockey game.

 

[JGlass]

My brain exploded. And I'm pretty sure my roommates hate me.

From the 'apoplectic' use? LOL.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

KOPITAR!!!! YES!

 

[JGlass]

Fuck.

 

[justinsayne]

fuck.

 

[The Crock]

FUCK! How do you blow such a perfect pass? Damn it.

 

[JGlass]

We outplayed them for the entire OT and we get fucked on one mistake. Shit.

Oh well, we lost the first game of the Flyers and Rangers series too. We'll rebound.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

What a ridiculous way to lose a hockey game in the Finals. Kopitar in COMPLETELY alone on a breakaway at the BLUE LINE!? Seriously?

Devils' defense — shoot yourselves.

 

[Lowdown]

HELL YEAH! Still perfect on the road. 3 more to go.

 

[justinsayne]

Kopitar in COMPLETELY alone on a breakaway at the BLUE LINE!? Seriously?

Literally my thoughts on the situation.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Literally my thoughts on the situation.

I love it, because I hate the Devils, obviously, but seriously... a breakaway... at your own blue line? What is this — mite hockey?

I need to watch that play again to see who the D was on that play, but seriously, if I'm DoBoer, I rip that mother fucker a new asshole for leaving my lane to play the wall in OT at my own blue line.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Just watched — Bryce Salvador was the defenseman who left that play open.

He's getting ripped by various beat writers and hockey talking heads on Twitter now.

@mirtle:

Jebus... what a breakdown and Kopitar scores on a breakaway. (Only one of the game?)

@DaveMaloneyMSG:

Where in the world was Bryce Salvador going? I mean it was only Kopitar that was left wide open in the middle of the ice! #nhlplayoffs

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Kings are now 9-0 in away games. Incredible.

 

[Lowdown]

I know. And one more for an NHL record from what I just read. So much for being rusty. If they can get Game 2 on Saturday, they might just shellshock Jersey to where they might not be able to bounce back.
