Pete DeBoer was fired earlier today.

Guess it makes sense. I think he's not all that bad of a coach, but his style versus Dale Tallon's style clearly don't match up.

 

[No spoken words]

I wish Charles Wang would fire himself.

Or sell.

Either works.

 

[BoMac]

Mike, don't you have enough money to buy the Islanders AND build the Litehouse project?

 

[No spoken words]

One or the other, not both.

It really is frustrating, but considering some of the other teams I root for, I cannot complain.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

If it's any consolation the Florida Panthers just set the record in NHL history for most consecutive seasons without making the playoffs.

It helps a little. Misery loves company.

My 1993 post, before, if you don't already know, represents the last season the Islanders won a playoff series.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Well I was 5 when the Panthers went to the Stanley Cup. So in essence, I've never experienced NHL playoffs for my home team.

The only thing I've ever known is bad. Yet they're still my favorite professional sports team.

Really? I thought it was meant to represent the last season a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup. I wonder who that team is? Hmmmm. And I wonder who they beat in the Conference Finals to get there?

 

[No spoken words]

I hate Dale Hunter so much. So much.

SO MUCH.

But, you guys were a juggernaut that post-season. So, even with a healthy Turgeon you were on your way to a meeting with the Kings.

I remember LeClair having some key goals in the playoffs, and we lost 2 OT games in a row to you and that was effectively that. And you had Roy.

Sigh.

That was so long ago.....Les Nordiques were still in Quebec.......wow.

Think how much it'll mean to you when the worm finally turns and such....

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Yeah, I've [and all of the small bit of diehard Panther fans] determined that even making the playoffs is almost like making the Stanley Cup finals for us. I will be so unbelievably happy.

And you bet I'll be at every playoff series if they somehow manage to pass the first round. But lets not get too far ahead of ourselves here first. lets get a team that qualifies first

 

[kramwest1]

Probably for the best:

[LuckyNumber7]

Word round town is that Ken Hitchcock is a candidate for the day old Panthers vacant position.

 

[phanan]

Ahhhh, Boston-Montreal in the playoffs.

It wouldn't be spring without this seemingly perennial meeting.

Indeed.

In the meantime, Jack Capuano has been officially named the Isles' coach for the 2011-12 season.

 

[BoMac]

Alright phanan, Hewson, and other Bruins fans. It's on. It's FUCKING ON.

May the best team win. Let's hope for a classic series, regardless of outcome.

 

[Thora]

Awesome game for the Canucks last night. The energy in the first period was INSANE! I lost interest for a while in the 2nd and 3rd when Chicago had a bit more jump, but the outcome was what I'd been hoping for. Now that the first game is out of the way, the nerves should be settled down. It's going to be a fabulous series.


Oh yeah, and go Habs!

 

[PhilsFan]

The Flyers begin tonight's playoffs as the most underwhelming two seed of all-time. PLAYOFF HOCKEY.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I can't believe I'm rooting for the Penguins... but when it comes to playoff hockey I'm so disaffected that the fact that the Lightning are on TV instead of the Marlins makes me want them eliminated ASAP.

 

[PhilsFan]

People talk of New York, Boston, and Philly fans when they talk about asshole fans. But there is no greater collection of asshole fans than Pittsburgh Penguins fans.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

It's only to beat the Lightning, don't worry

 

[PhilsFan]

Ha, I'm not concerned about your rooting interests or motivations. I'm simply stating why there's no situation where I would root for the Pens, even if I had to suffer through something like that.

I'm not the type to call up my Pens fan friends and gloat, but I will enjoy them getting knocked out.

That first period was intense. The overtime period between the Caps and the Rangers was good too. Saying I am excited about the Habs game tonight is an understatement. Go HABS!!!!!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

And congrats, Sharon, on the Vancouver win!

 

[phanan]

Alright phanan, Hewson, and other Bruins fans. It's on. It's FUCKING ON.

Round 1 to you.

Price was just too good tonight.

 

[PhilsFan]

God damn the Flyers' weak ass PP.

 

[CTU2fan]

Eh that and Ryan Miller had our number tonight. The Flyers were the better team tonight, if they keep it up they'll win in the end...I hope.

It doesn't help that 90% of them have only followed the sport for 4 years.

 

[PhilsFan]

Can I just say that I hate Dan Carcillo? I hate Dan Carcillo. I'm so sick of his shit.

.

A Habs fan, a Bruins fan, and a Flyers fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team more. The Flyers fan insists he is the most loyal. ''This is for the Flyers!" he yells, and jumps off the mountain. Not to be outdone, the Habs fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells 'This is for the Habs!!!' and pushes the Bruins fan off the mountain.
