'08-'09 NHL Playoffs

[clifffclaven]

The Canes won? Bastards are Vs couldn't show the game and NHL Network (useless this time of year) didn't have it and given there was nothing on Tv to watch I went up for the night. Wow... it was 3-2 NJ with 20 minutes left was it not? Well at leas the Flyer's won't look HORRIBLE this year I would prefer the Caps beat Pittsburgh, but that series will come down not to goal scoring, but D. And I give the Penguins an edge in Defense, though.

yeah you had to have center ice to see it or live in nj/car. It was 3-2 nj with 1:25 left in the 3rd. car scored twice in 52 seconds. wow.

[Strangletooth]

what a meltdown in New Jersey..wow..just wow

That was a great ending man, who'd a thunk it? I watched the Rangers/Caps and turned on the Devils just in time to see the show. WOW, is all I can say...

Always a weak goal of some sort it seems... That last goal should have been a "somewhat" routine stop for Brody, wtf?

Congat's to those who move on...

[Spivonious]

Caps-Pens, eh? I'm giving this one to Washington in 6, unless Fleury has another stand-on-his-head game. That might be enough to shake the Caps.

So the other series is Carolina/Boston? Bruins in 5.

For the west I say Detroit in 4, Vancouver in 7.

Go 'Hawks!!! Vancouver will be a tough series for them for sure. Would love to see them in the Conf. Finals with Detroit.

the better team won last night. if the Rangers didn't wait until game 7 to get it together, they just may have stolen a series. this routine of theirs is really starting to tear away at the fabric of things in my house. they along with the Jets always suck you into hoping, even when you know they're gonna gag.
i saw as much of the devil game as i could as much of it was offset from the "manger" game, and did watch the ending. it sounded like brent sutter was gonna shoot himself after .

Bruins in 5
Caps in 6
Wings in 7
Hawks-Canucks- pick 'em

I thought it was only Philly teams that got your hopes up and then crushed them.

[clifffclaven]

I believe they said on nhl network last night that was the first 3-1 ranger collapse in franchise history... sorry, atomic. I was actually rooting for the rangers.

[atomic charvel guy]

if you look back a page or two i was expecting the collapse when they were up 3-1.
it's called "Jet Ream", it's a condition instilled in the fan early on from progressive short comings-lol
I knew you were pulling for me Clifford, I could feel the love.

No fukkin' games tonite.
I figure it this way, the only thing standing in the way of Los Wingos des Reddos
is that opening day bonehead Joe Elliot move putting the Stanley Cup upside down
during the pre-game, other than that they're playing a hot Ducks team.
Hawks-Canucks - i give the edge to Luongo goalie wise, but they've been resting a while, who knows. hawks are gonna be a good team for a long time man, they're all kids. That's the toughest series to pick of the 4 by far.
Bruins should take care of business, but the hurricanes are a different team now, could be close, could be a boston blowout.
I think the caps are gonna win, but i'm only going off their regular season success over the Pens. 3-0-1, then again they were 3-0-1 against the Dangers and look what almost happened there. Pens had a rest and not too long of one, just the right amount. Looking forward to watching that series.

interesting schedule here- Pens-Caps will have back to back games on the 8th and 9th. Gotta be about the dollars for the networks. to quote joe Pesci in casino
"it's always about the dollars"

Game 7, Eastern Conference Finals, 2004 Playoffs, Flyers vs Tampa

Flyers had come back to win Game 6 in OT in Philly. Next day they are playing in Tampa Bay. WTF? I hate that, and I feel it ultimately costs the team on that was at home the prior day the game, though it shouldn't be as bad with the distance being what it is, but is still very lame and turns good playoff hockey into a flip of the coin.

I would rate ducks-wings 60/40 wings... although the ducks are playing great and are waaay better than their 8th seed.. remember they wouldve been playing the wings in the first round had st louis lost their last game of the season.

Hawks-nucks? The fan part of me says hawks in 4 Reality is... luongo is hot, nucks in 4-5, luongo chokes, hawks in 5.

bruins-canes? who knows. i thought it would be a new jersey sweep.

[atomic charvel guy]

if the wings can overcome "The Leppard Curse" then they are indeed "Hockey Town"

"Hav-Lat will travel"-lol

[Shawn Lutz]

Round 2 will be interesting and some good hockey. I'm pulling for the Wings to prevail but hey, its the playoffs and anything and everything can happen. The Ducks are playing some rpetty good hockey, beat a good team in the Sharks but the Sharks can't elevate their game during the playoffs when it matters, Detroit can.

All series will be pretty intense and physical. He who has the most bodies standing moves on to the conference finals. There will be some banging and injuries...
