The 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

Oi Vey



Come on Habs, I don't root for you often. But seeing as yous the last Canadian team in the playoffs, I am. So smarten the hell up.

Wonder if Fleury can get another shutout for Pittsburgh tomorrow?

(Someone needs to ask why I think this is the case.)

OK I'll bite That's a fast line anyway, the other winger (whose name I can't spell) has some wheels too.

Biron was phenomenal last night, and if he can keep that up there's no limit to where the Flyers can go...I'm loving it.

Wednesday night should be wild, I can't wait.

Exactly, I want that Original Six Final against BoMac

Although that would be nice I'm starting to think a Pittsburgh-Dallas final might be in the cards *sigh*

I stand by my prediction

As long as Dallas doesn't win with another flukey goal...

No shutout, but he played pretty well, from what I hear. Amazing that the Pens are undefeated in the playoffs, and now can sweep the Rangers in four. Are they the second coming of the Edmonton Oilers, a dynasty in the making...or will they flop when faced with adversity? Playoff drama.

 

[RavenBlue]

There seems to be something special about the Pens. I would love to see them go all the way, but they've got to be careful and keep their egos in check. Or else they may wind up like the Habs.

 

[BoMac]

I certainly hope the Pens don't go all the way. Sidney Crosby will undoubtedly become a bigger douche than he already is.

Damn right.

 

[BoMac]

The toe in the crease rule was a silly one indeed, but how that goal was counted, I'll never know.

 

[CTU2fan]

Hardy har

Good thing we're getting some drama with Flyers/Habs as the other series look like they might be sweeps...at the very least, at 3-0, they're not in doubt.

I think everyone was still too busy crying in their beer over Gretzky's retirement to even give a damn over a silly little rule.

 

[CTU2fan]

I know I was still burning Carolina Hurricanes paraphernalia and sticking pins in my Gary Bettman voodoo doll...but you hate to see a series end on something like that.

Absolutely - I've already decided I'll cheer for any team in the West over Pittsburgh.
Even Detroit

And yet I used to love the Pens when Mario played for them

I went through at least five voodoo dolls in my hockey loving prime.

 

[BoMac]

It's Halak tonight!!!

 

[angelordevil]

It's Halak tonight!!!

You beat me to it! You're not watching The Score by any chance?

Ultimately, I think this could inspire Price when he does return. I think Halak will be steady tonight, but I'm betting the focus will be on the good start the Canadiens get off to. I think they tasted a momentum shift at the end of the last game...something that will carry through to game 4.

Speaking of ...Sean Avery is out for the season with lacerated spleen.

I think everyone was still too busy crying in their beer over Gretzky's retirement to even give a damn over a silly little rule.

I'm still crying.

I saw this the other day. Still trying to figure it out.

 

[BoMac]

No, I got a call from a friend.

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Ultimately, I think this could inspire Price when he does return.

Hope so but I felt he played best when he was the no.1 and not alternating with Huet.

Avery's gone - another reason to cheer for the Rangers!!

 

[pat132]

Grrr, Habs have plenty of chances to score and they always miss or shoot on Biron

Really bad luck because they're playing much better than the Flyers

 

[GibsonGirl]

Why can't we score?!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

this is the most frustrating hockey game ever!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

What the...

 

[GibsonGirl]

this is the most frustrating hockey game ever!

Tell me about it.

Edit: I don't even think I can watch this anymore.

 

[pat132]

Fuck that, I'm gonna be honest: Habs will lose the series.

 

[angelordevil]

I'm betting the focus will be on the good start the Canadiens get off to.

I seriously suck at predictions.

 

[GibsonGirl]

HOLY

 

[angelordevil]

COW.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Of course, we now take a penalty at the worst possible time.

This game is giving me grey hairs.
