[bono_man2002]

Wow, its still going! I just skipped through the Canucks game after they went 3-1 down

 

[bono_212]

Kill me.

 

[bono_man2002]

Its all over now

I wasn't in the room when we scored because I was getting too hyped and had to pace a bit.

This team, I swear. Last three 3OTs have been us.

 

[BoMac]

Is there anything better than playoff overtime hockey?

 

[bono_212]

It is hell and should be banned.


(I love it.)

 

[PhilsFan]

I've had some fun watching playoff overtime hockey in my day.

What are playoffs?

What are playoffs?

Glad you asked.

The playoffs, postseason, or finals of a sports league are a competition played after the regular season by the top competitors to determine the league champion or a similar accolade. Depending on the league, the playoffs may be either a single game, a series of games, or a tournament, and may use a single-elimination system or one of several other different playoff formats. Playoff, in regard to international fixtures, is to qualify or progress to the next round of a competition or tournament.

In team sports in the U.S. and Canada, the vast distances and consequent burdens on cross-country travel have led to regional divisions of teams. Generally, during the regular season, teams play more games in their division than outside it, but the league's best teams might not play against each other in the regular season. Therefore, in the postseason a playoff series is organized. Any group-winning team is eligible to participate, and as playoffs became more popular they were expanded to include second- or even lower-placed teams – the term "wild card" refers to these teams.

In England and Scotland playoffs are used in football to decide promotion for lower finishing teams, rather than to decide a champion in the way they are used in North America. In the Championship (the second tier of English football) teams finishing 3rd to 6th after the regular season compete to decide the final promotion spot to the Premier League.

Saturday.

 

[DaveC]

The playoffs are destroying my productivity at work, I'm up till almost 1 am every night

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

looks like things are looking up in Edmonton... still, fuck those guys

 

[MrPryck2U]

If the Islanders lose tomorrow's game against the Caps (which will be their last at the Nassau Coliseum as we know it) fans are invited to rip out their seats and take them home. Fuck Steiner Sports!

The dump that jumps just may like on

 

[Thora]

I like the way this guy thinks. It's likely a long shot, but we were down 3-1 in '94...

Sorry about your team, Thora

Hopefully the Habs will get their act together tonight.

[Thora]

Eh, it's okay. I wasn't too surprised at the Canucks blowing a 3 goal lead. They tend to do that. I'm just glad we didn't lose the series 4-1.

As I say every year, maybe next year.

Go Habs!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I would say Tampa has Montreal's number.

 

[PhilsFan]

What an ending.

 

[phanan]

I would say Tampa has Montreal's number.

Works for me.

 

[bono_212]

Well, that was an extremely enjoyable series.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Yeah...

Considering most likely the Western final comes down to Blackhawks vs Ducks, why don't they just skip the final altogether and give the winner of that series the cup?

 

[LemonMelon]

If we can get past the Ducks (no simple feat, they're on fire), I really want to face the Caps. Even if we lose, at least my home state finally gets a championship.

 

[DaveC]

Even if we lose, at least my home state finally gets a championship.

Your home state of the District of Columbia?

 

[bono_212]

I've given up trying to give him crap about saying D. C. is in Maryland. He won't change.

 

[LemonMelon]

Only the metro area fans get to call the Caps their home state's team?

The Redskins are considered "Washington, DC" but they're ultimately a Maryland team based in Landover. The whole area gets labeled the DMV so it doesn't have to be discussed to death.

You grew up in the Department of Motor Vehicles?

Which one is your Mom?
