The 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

Well, I'm sure the NHL is still happy to have a Pens-Rangers match-up.

Habs-Flyers will be a dandy, however.

I hope Washington signs Huet this summer


"Dandy", eh? You're starting to sound like a certain Bob Cole!

It should be incredible, and incredibly rough!...Jagr vs his old team will also be something to watch. I'm betting on a huge series for him.

"Dandy", eh? You're starting to sound like a certain Bob Cole!

He's a local hero around these parts! You know it's a great game when Bob's voice intensifies by five octaves, and he starts saying "Oh, baby!" when someone scores.

Just because he's been around since 1896 doesn't mean he isn't cool.

Bullshit non-call by the refs on the interference with Huet

It's not a penalty to knock an opposing player into his own goalie. It was a smart play by the Flyer who did it (name escapes me). What the hell were the refs supposed to call?

Anyways, I'm glad Philly won. Washington was way overhyped before this series, and I like the way the Flyers play. I'd be rooting for them if they were playing any of the other teams (besides MTL).

Looks like the Calgary- San Jose game is done now too. While I preferred to see Calgary win, San Jose was my pick to come out of the West, so at least I know I was right.

 

[DaveC]

Montreal 4 - Boston 1
Pittsburgh 4 - Ottawa 0
Washington 3 - Philadelphia 4
New Jersey 2 - NY Rangers 4

Detroit 4 - Nashville 3
San Jose 4 - Calgary 1
Minnesota 2 - Colorado 4
Anaheim 4 - Dallas 2

7 for 8, pretty damn good if you ask me. And I even nailed the number of games on three of the series. Maybe I ought to put down some coin on the second round.

 

[RavenBlue]

Did SJ win? Shite.

 

[Thora]

Yup. Final score was 5-3.

 

[CTU2fan]

FLYERS WIN!!! Funny I've been killing Lupul all series and he comes through, I love it.

We should have some fun around here...me vs. a whole mess of Habs fans No matter how this turns out I want the winner to win the whole thing. Pens Rangers

So how about that Jeremy Roenick? I always loved him with the Hawks and I was thrilled when he signed with the Flyers; pity that didn't go all that well. I'd love to see San Jose come out of the West if the Flyers aren't able to win the thing. Also speaking of JR he was on the wrong end of one of the best pieces of trash talk in NHL history:

The only one I got exactly right was SJ and Calgary.

Wings-Avs tomorrow night

And Detroit escapes super late start times for one more round...

 

[BoMac]

Wings-Avs tomorrow night

I hope this series matches at least half the intensity of their playoff series from 1996-2004.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

If the end result is that of the 1997 series, bring it on.

 

[senrab]

My soon to be wrong predictions for Round 2:

Montreal in 7
Pittsburgh 6

San Jose 6
Detroit 5

 

[RavenBlue]

Round Two!

 

[CTU2fan]

My soon to be wrong predictions for Round 2:

Montreal in 7
Pittsburgh 6

San Jose 6
Detroit 5

I'll play!

Flyers in 6 [/homerpicking]
Ranges in 6

Sharks in 5
Wings in 6

So ESPN did some sort of Fan Satisfaction survey for major NA teams based on several factors including ticket prices, team performance, etc and out of 122 teams the Leafs came in at 121

Only the NY Knicks were worse

Go Team!

 

[CTU2fan]

In other words the Leafs can't even win at losing...but the Knicks can so Isiah Thomas has that going for him.

this makes me and at the same time...

The Metro paper here reports the Sens were the top Canadian team on that survey

they were, I believe they were 37 or something...

They were? That sounds like a blatant case of plagiation. I'm not sure how, or what, but that must be the only reason for them ranking so high!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

What's plagiation?
