im soooo excited for playoffs!!!!!

Rd 2 Matchups as I see them

East
Mtl vs NJ
Pit vs Was

West
Det vs Ana
SJ vs Col

Looking at the teams and matchups I don't see any blaring upsets. We might still be shocked but the only upset I see is Colorado knocking off Minny and that's not really and upset due to the Avalanche play down the stretch.

i dont know why, but i see SJ as being ripe for an upset. i just get the feeling that they will fall apart in the post season.

If they do fall apart... I don't see it being against the flames at all. The flames don't deserve to be in the playoffs imo. They might pull the upset but the addition of Brian Campbell and Patty Marleau manning up during the final stretch tells me the Sharks are going to blast the Flames like the Wings did last year.

LETS GO CALGARY BABY!

IGGY IGGY IGGY!!!

I'm leaving my Av.

In hopes that Boston can make a series out of it vs Mtl.

i kinda hope they make it to the finals. it would be worth listening to axe in the meantime so i can gloat when the wings smash them then.

You're not going to need to. Their playoffs ended when they drew any team in the East.

GO DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 hours 15 minutes.

I will be at the gym when the first game starts but I'll get inside this thread like I get inside Kronkobi's mammy when I get home.

end of the first and the pens are up 2-0. stupid ottowa.

>.<

Devils lose 4-1.
Pens win 3-0.

shit. 4-0 for Pens

Colorado wins 3-2 in OT
Calgary wins 3-2 in Regulation (fuck)

Colorado wins 3-2 in OT
Calgary wins 3-2 in Regulation (fuck)

both of these scores please me greatly.

The 3-2 Nashville over Detroit score won't please you though

it wont happen. ill actually be surprised if nashville wins one game in that series. the few games they did win over the wings were close, and when they lost, they lost big. i dont like their odds in a series at all. home town loyalty aside, i wouldnt put money on them to win the series.

I'm calling it right now.

Nahville 4 -3 over the deadwings.

1 game to none Rangers.

1 game to none Rangers.

You're only about 23 hours late.

1 game to none Canadiens.

i think the shock of watching his bruins get bitch slapped the way they did caused some mental failure on his behalf.

You're only about 23 hours late.

I wasn't around then, so there for nI said it when I got here so, :tease:

After game 1 it's clear the Bruins could use Bergeron. The Canadians better not cheap shot him. GO Bs!

GO B's but I don't think their chances are too good.

fucking devils.

ok. fucking refs.

Devils score. 1:17 left. Call a penalty on the Devs with 1:00 left. Puck gets cleared, Madden gets hooked like a motherfucker... no call... Devils dump the puck in... get called for icing... EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SHORTHANDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck. FUCK!!!!!!!!!

ive got no complaints so far. things are going exactly the way i want them to in the west. san jose and anneheim seem to be on a crash course with each other after first round wars. colorado and detroit look to be careening headlong at one another in a series i hope reignites that rivalry. everything looks good to me.

Anaheim got dick slapped yesterday. I think they will lose to Dallas.

San Jose had a stumble in Game 1. They will handle Calgary and be done in 5.

i see the ducks and sharks winning their respective series in 6 or 7, and the kicking the shit out of each other for 6 or 7 as well. calgary will make a series out of it. i have faith in iginla.


and i feel dirty for saying that. sooooo dirty.

I just haven't been impressed by the Ducks at all. They got their little boost when Neids came back and then when Selanne came back they got another one but they've worn them out.

I have no faith in Calgary. After watching them get belted 7-2 or whatever by the Nucks when a playoff spot was on the line.... they are by far the most overrated team in the league. I hope SJ ends it quick.

I'm a little late again but :gives:

2 games to 0 Rangers.

Boston will tie the series 1-1 with the habs today.


WAR BOSTON BRUINS

Boston will tie the series 1-1 with the habs today.

did you watch the same game one i did? oh, wait, you didnt. maybe youd see how silly that statement is if you had.

id like to take a second to drop the playoff hostility and give my regards to darren mccarty. guys had a rough patch in life lately and it makes me happy as hell to see him back on the ice, and scoring playoff goals again.

WAR MAC!!!

I'm a little late again but :gives:

2 games to 0 Rangers.

Sorry... but 1 game Ranger... 1 game Refs... 0 games Devils

the wings are going to nashville with a 2-0 lead.

they'll be coming home series tied 2-2

even if they never win a road game thru the playoffs, they can still take it all.

not that i can see nashville beating them back to back anywhere.

I feel for ya Axe. Now you know how I feel

old, sore, and a little confused?

God damn fuckin refs, how can ya call a bullshit penalty like that at the beginning of overtime.

God damn fuckin refs, how can ya call a bullshit penalty like that at the beginning of overtime.

Well... the penalty was borderline but could still be a penalty... I'd be more upset over the 3 missed hooking calls with 45 seconds left in the 3rd...

The refs fucked Boston tonight Axe. I hope you've learned your lesson.

In OT that penalty shoulda never got called, that was a pussy ass call for the habs if ya ask me.

a penalty is a penalty no matter what period it is... the funny thing is that wouldn't have been called in the regular season OT... it was borderline... he tripped him... but he went down a little too easy for me

I feel old, sore and confused????

hell get it.

i hope. hes old, sometimes i have to spell it out for him.

i was clarifying to newton. hes new to our little game. gotta let the outsiders in on the joke sometimes. otherwise i look like a bit of a dick. wouldnt want to tarnish my sterling image now, would we?

yup, sure we would

bastid.

lmao

i agree... but he still tripped him... i've been agreeing with you the whole time that it shouldn't have been called... but it was a penalty if you get technical... time of game doesn't make it not a penalty...

you shouldn't even be mad at that... be mad that they let MTL hook the shit out of Boston the entire 3rd period.. no calls...

also. who the fuck made this schedule. 3 games Mon, 5 Tuesday, 3 Thur... etc...

Instead of having 2 games (TSN/CBC) then 2 games (TSN/CBC) all of these fucking games overlap and they have up to 5 games going at the same time.

Fuckwit NHL fucks.

what do you expect from a commissioner that got his job because he was friends with another commissioner? specially when you take into account how shitty a job that guy was doing in the first place. the NHL has done noting but fall apart since betman came along. just like his fucktard buddy david stern is doing with the NBA. trying to target it at people that dont care about it, and making the sport and its fans suffer because of it.

Bettman sucks. I can only hope for a Bon Cop/Bad Cop situation to happen I guess.

5-2 Dallas. Anaheim is getting exposed baby.

wow. didnt see that coming. i figured for sure the ducks would make a series out of it.

I didn't. I think the Ducks were great last year but teams caught up with them. They lost some talent. Their lower d-men stopped producing... and they only made the playoffs because Neids and Selanne came back and gave them boosts when they really needed it.

That being said. They are still pretty stacked with talent. I can see them making a series out of it... but Dallas will most likely wrap this up in 4.

im sure i could look it up, but im lazy and dont wanna think.

Detroit/Colorado
Dallas/SJ

SJ and Colorado guarantee a Det/Col series

good. thats what i was hoping.

i dont much care what happens after colorado to be honest. i just wanna see that rivalry get reignited.

You aren;t going to care...Colorado is going to beat D-town... then what will you do?

I don't mope anymore when the Bruins lose in the playoffs, after 38 years of being a fan I'm used to it. BUT when the STEELERS lose in the playoffs I mope around for like EVER.

Philly looks impressive today winning 2-0

BOSTON WINS IN OT!!!!!!
DEVILS WIN IN OT!!!!!!!

San Jose is giving Calgary a fucking right now. 3-0 10:00 in

I had to open my fucking mouth... fucking

No shit. I've been a Sharks fan since they became an expansion team in the 90's. After years of getting shut down in the playoffs by the Red Wings and sometimes the Maple Leafs, I was hoping this would be our year. :angry2:

I can see you have no clue what you are talking about. for 1 the Sharks could not have been shut down at any point by the Maple Leafs in the playoffs, why you ask. Because they are in different Conf., so that would mean that they would have been shut down by the Maple Leafs in the Finals, but wait, that can't be either, why you say, because San Jose hasn't been to a Stanley Cup Final.. that is all.

BOSTON WINS IN OT!!!!!!
DEVILS WIN IN OT!!!!!!!

just 3 more wins to go for both teams, and 4 more losses for the Wings.

just 3 more wins to go for both teams, and 4 more losses for the Wings.

ponder this statement for a moment and tell me what seems more likely. the wings dropping 4 to a team that hasnt beaten them in consecutive games yet this season, or boston losing 2 more to a team that they have beaten once since september of '07.

are they not giving you your meds at the retirement home?

Wow this post makes you look stupid or young. I'm not sure which. I'm not going to look up proof, I'm just going to tell you. The leafs were in the west for years and moved east for the same reason people complain about the Red Wings being in the west... it's retarded.
