Title: Official NHL Playoff Thread

Lets try to get this rolling again ;)

First major upset last night - those funny Ducks swept Detroit, even though I hate the Wings, that came as quite a shock :eek:

They are truly feeling the absence of Scotty Bowman & Hasek.

I am personally rooting for Either Toronto or Edmonton... gotta let the peeps who built the game win a cup now and then....

(though I didn\'t watch any games last night, so I don\'t know if they are out or not...)

In other hockey news... New Buffalo Sabres owner is considering going back to the old school jerseys!

At least those jerseys aren\'t as nasty as the old Canuck jerseys.  The only game besides the Detroit game that was worth noting was the Toronto - Philly game which went to 3 OT\'s.  Philly pulled it on a goal by Recchi.  Belfour was pretty damn good in stopping 67 or so shots.

*yawn*

Being the die hard Red Wings fan that I am, I think I speak for us all when I say that Curtis Joseph is trash.

**** you, Curtis Joseph, and the horse you rode in on.

See Yuz.

You know, he really didn\'t play all that poorly.  He\'s just the easy one to blame.  If you ask me, it was your offense that didn\'t pull its weight.

Then why are you posting in here?

Thats really trivial to post in a thread dedicated to hockey, when not being a fan of it yourself.

This year I am gonna stick with the season. I have been blowing off my Minnesotan hockey duties for a while. I must WATCH HOCKEY!!11

Im rooting for all of the teams. I want to get into the groove and really get some good games in.

Go MINNESOTA! (btw: havent they changed their name to the Minnesota Wilds?)

Alright... well, sens won, so, woohoo to that one way to go amn, sens rule.  Woot.  4-1 (1 empsy nettetr).

As for you chizz... I sure hope toronto doesn\'t win.. I\'m hopting for a 7 game loss so that they and philly can tirelthemselves out on each otehrs\'s simillar style\'s.  Hacky-shalshy-no-talent hocky is all the leafs and flyers put out these days.

*$@# proof reading/correcitng this, I\'m off to bed.

Yeah that neutral zone trap style makes the game boring.  The Devils are the biggest culprits.  

Anyway Hurricane, why post here?  I absolutely hate basketball and I didn\'t go post in that thread.  ;)

Spudz, it is the Minnesota Wild.  They are playing the Avalanche now and are down 3 games to 1 with game 5 being played on Saturday.  

As far as Detroit goes... the team as we know it now won\'t be back next year.  If Yzerman doesn\'t retire Federov will not be resigned.  With their early exit they have lost somewhere close to 70 million dollars.  It won\'t be a fire sale like what happened in Pittsburgh this year, but a lot of the imported talent will not be back.  I think the most valid example of that is the Luc Robitaille.

I am going tonight to the Lightning/Capitals game.  Only second game I\'ve gone to this year.  Should be fun.

Post by: videoholic on April 19, 2003, 04:56:13 AM
Lightning kicked major Capital Ass!!!

Woo dog...

I had 8th rwo seats right behind the net. IT was great because I was on the side where Lightning scored twice and the capitals scored.  

Awesome night. Just hope they can win on Sunday.   Although my bank account won\'t like it if they go too much further.

I wish I could even afford 1st round tickest :(

I\'m about 200 bucks in debt right now, and at least a week abouway from my next 2k paychequeues (2 incoms :)).  Oh well, I\'ll save/visa the cup finals and maybe one other round to see the sens in person.. other than that, it\'s bars for me.:rolleyes:

Ottawa will win the Stanley Cup. How? Because I\'m Canadian and I said so.

With detroit out, if the stars loose, there is litterally no excues for ottawa NOT wiining.  If they pay philly... well, tehy should skate cirles aroundh them, and Toronto (same thing, gotta overcome the jinx).  As fot eh others, with detroit (and mabye the stars) out, their main competition is gone, so all they have to do is play to \'potential\' and they\'ve got it in the bag.

Even if it costs me 500 bucks, I\'m going to a goddamn stanley cup game. :bounce:

Had to bring this back.  Did anyone else watch that Anaheim Dallas game?  Man, that\'s some fun stuff.  Five Overtimes, and Anaheim pulls out another amazing win.  Giguerre is God in goalie pads.

Once again seeing if anyone wants to talk about this stuff.  Ducks tie the finals at two games a piece, after being totally out played the first two games.  Man, I have loved watching the ducks this year :).  That, and I hate the Devils like no other team.  Go Ducks!

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!


I have 40 bucks on the devils winning...

The Devils won - good series, but Anaheim had a fluke year.  They were this years Carolina Hurricanes.  

Now about the Conn Smythe... sure Giguerre had a good post season, but Brodeur should have won it.  Seven shutouts in the playoffs with 3 coming against Anaheim.  Oh well, Seabass might be an Av next season so I can\'t complain too much.

Through out the entire playoffs, I think it has to go to Giguere.  He had a lower GAA and higher save percentage I believe, plus he was really the reason the ducks were there.  The devils had a lot more around Brodeur.

Post by: GigaShadow on June 10, 2003, 06:15:30 PM
Brodeur set the record for GAA and shutouts this playoff year... don\'t get me wrong Seabass was very good, I just think they had to give the poor old Ducks something for going that far...  Its not like the Ducks don\'t have an offense - ie. Kariya.  Oh well another year in the books, I wonder if will see as many big name free agent signings as last off season...
