von Rantala Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Yeah we miss Koivu in that game big time, it was worst game after playoff break in my mind, but still we take one point Quote
von Rantala Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Oh you meant that world championship from every year. I thought you meant the new tournament starting in 2016. Yeah well, no one really follows that world championship here lol. Our best players aren't there and the goalies are usually crap. Can i ask how important Canada/USA jersey is to players, i ask because in Finland is huge honor to wear Finnish national jersey called Leijona jersey, usually players who drop out of playoffs in NHL come to world Championship every year and they always say how big honor that is to wear Leijona jersey, they not look if it olympic (what ofcourse its bigger in players eyes) or world Championship tournament, usually players reject invitation to Leijona jersey when they contract is end in NHL to avoid injuries or if they have injuries already. But usually all finnish players come to National games, its no matter if it is friendly match or Olympic because its so big honor to wear finnish national jersey, most common commend is when reporter ask why you came to finnish national games this time is that "Its so huge honor to wear this Leijone jersey, or it like i can give something back to my home country" so i want ask how important Canada jersey is to Canadien players because in my eyes (from your reply)they only want keep that in big tournaments, and not because they love it so much, its easy to come big tournaments and skip minor tournaments or friendly games and that loyalty and real love is show in my mind just in those minor games, because everyone want to play in big tournaments and then that home country jersey is not reason to come tournament reason is that it played every four year (i mean olympic) or because tournament is so valued in players eyes. Im just interesting know because i always think that Canada fans and players love Canada jersey more than they home city NHL team, but in your reply its look like i have been wrong, and they only love Canada when its big tournament, i saw a lot Canada fans in World Champions tournaments too, so i know that some ppls love World Championship tournaments too in Canada.

von Rantala Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Wild coming interesting end of regular season when we play against Nashville in Thursday (second last game), and Nashville can come against us in first round, and last game is against St. Louis blues who probably come to against us in Playoffs first round, hehe so it will be interesting to see if we really play against blues in first round and what is importance of that last game for that serie. I dont remember when it had happenet last time that regular season last game is played agains coming playoff opponent. I hope that we dont see St. Louis in first round, because in my mind Blues is best team in NHL after Wild now(in this season) but if they come we can win them, because they goalies can be weak point, even that they are good, goalie baddle can decide winner of that serie.

Krayzie Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Wild, you are welcome for our goalie... Although it takes more then a goalie to help a team, Mike Smith just doesn't have his game this year for the Coyotes. Quote
von Rantala Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Daam third lose straight, we keep play poor hockey, we stop play our Wild hockey and stop move our legs, we should have win Winnipeg and earn playoff spot, but no, we played awfull hockey in first and second period, and this time good third period didn't enough when they goalie was hot, as every year Wild keep losing they last regular season games. If we continue play like we had played in last two game, we will drop out of playoffs, because now we play against Chicago, Nashville and St. Louis and we need three point to earn playoff spot, im very dissappointent on our boys, they wasnt even try to win game against Winnipeg, you cant even imagine how mad and dissapointent i am now, all was in our own hands and we try our best to mess that. Yeo should change line ups for next game, he havent done anything on those loses, he keep line ups same even that we should change those, maybe put Koivu in first line, with Parise and Pomminville, or move Parise to Koivu line with Zucker (if he can come back from injury) and Granlund with Pomminville and Vanek. Yeo have to do something to get boys back in track. Quote
++Sl@yer Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Flames vs Kings on Thursday...I will be there! should be a great game. Do you live in Calgary? Quote
von Rantala Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Yeah we made it, we won Chicago in road and it was 11 road win straight, that mean that we are in playoffs, we still have two games left, one against Nashville and one against St. Louis Blues. Im so happy now, it was hard game to us, but we was better against Chicago, we had two to three great opportunity what Crawford take before our goal by Granlund. Thanks boys http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=761931&navid=nhl:topheads Friend coming to visit in Weekend and im back in the site monday, (will be active tomorrow), but i see Wild games in sunday after i drove my friend home, in sunday i will know too who take those last playoff spots, i cant visit in NHL site so i dont see scores of Wild games, but will Check how Kings Calgary game end, if Calgary win that game, then they are in playoffs, if Winnipeg won they game against Colorado they are in, Los Angeles have to win both they games and Winnipeg and Calgary both have to lose both of they games to drop out, I dont know what happened in Kings vs Edmonton game, but LAK should have win that game, maybe they go in that game with wrong attidute and think that there is coming easy win when they last time beat them 8-2. But in NHL there is no easy teams play against when you are in must win situation, thats why earlie season success is very important too, now that Kings can go to playoffs they need a lot luck and help from others. Look like this time they leave they finish too late, but you cant count them out yet. I will post my playoff predictions in monday, i will update my NHL teams too in final time and give them final ratings and i will send my trophy list with finalist and winner, but that coming in the next week maybe Wednesday or Thursday, depent when Wild have games.

meow Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 yes Please, make sure Calgary wins against LA and sends them to golf! I want the Jets and the Flames in! Quote
LA_Kings_Fan Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Please, make sure Calgary wins against LA and sends them to golf! I want the Jets and the Flames in! Nooooooooooooooooo Kings just HAD to go and make it so hard on themselves with losing in Vancouver and freakin Edmonton last night. They had over a 70% chance of finishing at least third or even maybe second in the West had they won those 2 games. With the losses it dropped all the way to 21.6% just to make the playoffs, with a 6.5% chance of playing Anaheim as the 8 seed and a 14.5% chance of still playing Vancouver as the #3 Western seed. WE GOT TO BEAT CALGARY and SAN JOSE ... WE WILL ... WE MUST ... so it has been said, so it has been written, SO SHALL IT BE DONE ! GKG ! There are still multiple scenarios in which Los Angeles can clinch a playoff berth. The clearest path requires Kings fans to cheer on the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night (in addition, of course, to the Kings). The most likely playoff scenarios in which Los Angeles can clinch require the Kings to win both of their remaining games, on the road against Calgary and at home against San Jose, though there is still a very remote chance they could get in with one point on Thursday night (more on that in a moment). There are three teams vying for two spots. They are: Winnipeg (96 points) Thursday: at Colorado Saturday: vs Calgary Calgary (95 points) Thursday: vs Los Angeles Saturday: at Winnipeg Los Angeles (93 points) Thursday: at Calgary Saturday: vs San Jose Winnipeg can claim either wild card berth, Calgary can claim the #2 or #3 Pacific Division seeds or either wild card berth, and Los Angeles can claim the #3 Pacific Division seed or a wild card berth. The Kings would hold the tiebreaker against the Jets should the teams finish tied in points but would not hold the tiebreaker against the Flames. Should Colorado defeat Winnipeg in regulation and Los Angeles defeat Calgary in regulation, the Kings will make the playoffs if they beat San Jose, regardless of the outcome of the Flames-Jets game on Saturday. That’s a pretty significant “if,” considering Colorado is 10 points behind Winnipeg and has already been eliminated. But, as we saw in tonight’s Edmonton win, no result is a given. Another clinching scenario includes the Kings beating Calgary in regulation and San Jose, and the Jets beating the Flames in any fashion on Saturday afternoon. However, should Winnipeg beat Colorado on Thursday, they’ll already have clinched a playoff spot and would have little to play for, with Calgary needing a win at Winnipeg to get in. That’s not the most appealing scenario for Kings fans. Should Los Angeles lose in overtime or a shootout in Calgary, they’d need to beat San Jose and hope that Winnipeg loses to both Colorado and Calgary in regulation. There are other clinching scenarios involving three-point games, but we’ll cross those bridges once we get past Thursday night. Interestingly, both the Winnipeg-Colorado and Los Angeles-Calgary games begin at 6:00 p.m. PT on Thursday, and both the Los Angeles-San Jose and Calgary-Winnipeg games begin at 12:00 p.m. PT on Saturday. The easiest way for the Kings to enhance their chances? Win in Calgary in regulation on Thursday. Quote

But the funniest scenario is LA wins against Calgary but loses to San Jose on Saturday and miss the playoffs! Cause San Jose will do everything they can to ruin your season xD Quote
++Sl@yer Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 yes lol, I live in Forest Lawn/Dover area. Have fun at the game, I'll be watching. Quote
von Rantala Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 If St. Louis play against Chicago in first round it will be almost impossible to quess who will win that serie, in my mind Chicago and St. Louis have best defender groups in NHL, Chicago first pair (Keith-Seabrook) is better than St. Louis first, but St. Louis second pair is better than Chicago second pair. St. Louis have better third pair too. In my mind St. Louis have better offencive group also, Chicago have better First line than St. Louis, but Blues second and third lines are better than Chicagos, fourth is tie. But in Goalie situation go to Chicago, they have better goalie than Blues have, plus Chicago have more experience to win hard games, so defencive group to St. Louis, offencive group to St. Louis, Goalies to Chicago and experience to Chicago, Coatches tie. It will be hardest to quess winner of those two. But i think Nashville play against Chicago in first round. I think team who had strong end of regular season will be stonger in playoffs, in last couple seasons Conference finalist and Stanley winner team has played strong end of regular season, let see if it true in this year too, Nashville played poor end of regular season so they should be drop out in first round if it true. Let see. Quote
