2014-2015 Hockey Season

[@realAzhyaAryola]

Woohoo!



Alex Ovechkin, the Great 8, gets another Rocket Richard trophy!



"Ovechkin scored 53 goals to capture his third consecutive and fifth overall Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy, adding to the ones he earned in 2007-08, 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2013-14. Ovechkin became the sixth player in NHL history to record six 50-goal seasons, joining Mike Bossy (9), Wayne Gretzky (9), Marcel Dionne (6), Guy Lafleur (6) and Mario Lemieux (6). He also led the League and set a career high/franchise record with 25 power-play goals, while his 11 game-winning goals paced the NHL and matched a personal best. Ovechkin, who finished 2014-15 ahead of Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (43) and New York Rangers forward Rick Nash (42), scored 41 of his 53 goals in the final 55 games of season (0.75 GPG). He posted his 473rd and 474th career goals on April 2 to surpass Peter Bondra (472) as the leading goal-scorer in Capitals history."

The nice looking gals in the crowd are good.

Good for Ovi, a true hall of fame'r!



So, five Canadian teams are in with four of them playing against each other. That guarantees at least two Canadian teams making it the second round.



The LA Kings are only the fifth team in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup then miss the playoffs.



It's nice to see Winnipeg back. Those fans are going to be pumped up, having not seen any playoff action since 1996.



This is Calgary and Vancouver's first postseason meeting since 2004. The Flames are 4-2 overall. Calgary has gone all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals twice after defeating Vancouver, as also has the Canucks after both of its series wins. Should be good!



The New York Islanders and Washington Capitals haven't met up since 1994, with the Islanders winning five out of six in their series overall. Three of the top six NHL scorers are playing in this one!

Calgary and Montreal won their opening games of the first playoff round..



It's too bad that two Canadian teams must be eliminated after the first round.

[Romero]

Alright, I'm finally not too mad about the game now. My response is as late as a Flames game winning goal!



That was a great game. I still can't believe how intense it gets in the playoffs. It's got to be the toughest of all the sports.



I hope you all enjoy the games tonight!

I will Romero..



Winnipeg Jets lost their series opener 4-2 to Anaheim.

[Romero]

Oh, so they did! I last saw Winnipeg up 2-1.

I am watching the Caps game again. It was so good.

Calgary lost 4-1 to Vancouver and Montreal took a 2-0 series lead against Ottawa.

These playoffs are exciting, Fash and Ro. Last night, Backstrom rips it through Halak although he had 4 Islanders D-men around him and tied the game. Later, Chimera seals it with a goal which put the Islanders behind 4-3 with a win for the Caps. So, it is now 1 win each. I always say...we've got to have H-U-N-G-E-R!!!  ac_drinks Woohoo!

[Romero]

Way to go, Caps! I've got Kuznetsov in my office hockey pool. I wanted Ovi and Backstrom but they were gone before I had the chance. Good luck in Brooklyn!

I've rarely seen anything like that since the movie Slapshot. It's on to beautiful Calgary, home of some of the greatest fans and people in the world!

The NHL has fined Calgary coach, Bob Hartley, $ 50,000.00 U.S.D, for the incident late in the third period.

[Romero]

I did not hear about that.



Yes, it appears the NHL believes Hartley sent out tough guys late to stir up trouble.
