blueschica Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Congrats, Rangers Islanders! The Pens streak of 16 consecutive playoff appearances have ended. It would have been nice to see them there, but they were in control of their own fate and didn't rise to the occasion. They managed to lose a league leading 9 games where they'd held the lead in the third period. I have a feeling we won't be seeing Ron Hextall as GM much longer. 1

That's an end to an impressive streak, 16 consecutive seasons going to the playoffs. It's a record for any professional league in North America, who of thought hockey would be the one? Glad it was but it was sad to see their faces on the bench. Had to hit hard. 1

blackhawkrush Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 Things are looking good tonight. I'll never eat a duck again if the game in Anaheim goes at least to overtime.

Ok, I heard several announcers this week touting the Pens having the longest back to back streak among North American teams of getting to the playoffs. I believe they meant to say currently the longest streak. Technically the Bruins have the record at 29, Hawks at 28 then 7 other teams before the Pens. It still is an accomplishment, just not the best overall. Edited April 14, 2023 by Rhyta 2

edhunter Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 Sloppy win for the Bruins tonight. A team with better scores would've beat them.

Rhyta Posted April 18, 2023 Posted April 18, 2023 Two overtime games last night, was having fun switching channels back and forth to see. Good on the Kings, give Edmonton all the trouble you can. Stars were underwhelming (can't believe I am saying this about either team ) two power play chances in OT and they still lost? Avs and Kraken tonight One way Our Way

Rhyta Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) Crazy night in the playoffs, all the road teams won the first game. So much for home ice advantage. Edited April 19, 2023 by Rhyta 2
