And away we go NHL thread!!!!

the pens-canadians series has been by far the best to watch so far. for the most part the zebras have let them
play throughout the whole affair.

Well, it has been exciting but I can't say that it has been quite as exciting as the Montreal vs Washington series. The #1 offense (which was also getting great goaltending from Varlamov) going against a nearly unbeatable goalie and nobody expecting it was extremely entertaining. This series is great too but I can't say that it has me on the edge of my seat as much as the last one.

I finally have seen something that Crosby is better than Ovechkin at though...cheap shots after the whistle (it just so happened that last night it was after the game) and having superior boredom-laden post game interviews. He excels in those areas. If I were a Pittsburgh or Crosby fan I'd be ashamed.

i think the montreal fans have been the best in these playoffs as well.

Absolutely! My wishes are for a win of Boston and Montreal, so we will have a "like-the-good-ol'-days" serie. Montreal will win.

And on the other side, as Hellbat said, Vancouver wins it so we have a Stanley cup final between the Habs and the Canucks!

That would rock!

Halak will have to be the better man because the Pens will have about 7 or 8 power plays and a 5 on 3, you can bank on that.

Bettman is making Montreal play a man down the entire game...new rule

If that happens, all of Canada will simply implode

Grats to Chicago, they were the better team in the series. I'm pretty mad about Byfugly's slewfoot taking Edler out being he's Vancouvers top healthy D-Man but I don't think it made a difference. Luongo proves again that he can't control when to bring the a-game. Chicago's D was the difference, their top guys stayed healthy and are just way better at moving the puck under pressure.

Hopefully I won't have to watch video of Luongo crying this year.

and sadly for our pal Batty, British Columbia is now toast.

If I were pulling the strings for the Canadians, I'd stuff up Halak with so much extra padding that they'd have to wedge him into the goal tomorrow night.
getting pumped for that game right now.

Right now, I can picture Spiv leading a huge Flyer mob on a drunken hayride with banners, pitchforks and torches all through his town.

How'd you guess?

Seriously though, I am confident that the Flyers can beat Boston tonight and Friday.

Yeah you guys basically played that game with 4 D after edler got hurt, salo was 50% probably with a ruptured ball (OUCH). This series was weird, home team won only one game and you never knew which team would show up on either side, chicago gets blown out, then vancouver, then chicago, wtf? Didnt help you guys either that the sedins were pretty much non-exsitant in the last two games.

Roberto "No Show" Luongo.

I'm sick and tired of hearing how he's the hottest thing to the position since sliced bread. Canucks had an above average team yet got below average goaltending in series against the Blackhawks. The guy will never win anything.....

[Spivonious]

They showed a statistic during the Flyers game on Monday. They've dressed 7 goalies this season.

[atomic charvel guy]

Spiv, the Islanders 4th line were all goalies this year-lol
I can't figure out Luongo either, he has a losing overall record at home in the playoffs, weird. he's 7-10, but has
a winning record on the road.

i must say I'm tickled to pieces about tonights game.
