the Flyers hat is a nice touch

 

[senrab]

that's the one thing I don't like about that picture

At least the Sabres have made it to a Cup final recently.

It is so hard to win the Cup.

Then you see some bunch of Lightning or Hurricanes or Ducks win the cup and it's so frustrating. I always wondered what it was like for Nordiques fans when the Avalanche won, but then I got to find out. A strange feeling really...I 100% wanted Carolina to lose to Edmonton but there was a tiny part of me that felt good because my team finally won. I think I could have embraced it more if ownership hadn't done all they could to rewrite history with the 'Canes as a new/expansion franchise.

I see places like Buffalo, Toronto, Philadelphia, Minnesota etc that embrace hockey and their teams, you'd like to see them rewarded. Well hopefully this year it's Philly's turn

We've got kind of a love-hate relationship going on in Toronto

Um, no.

Just noticed that the pic comes from here: http://www.leafs-suck.com What a collection!

You know, if the Leafs ever do win the Cup again, the 'die-hards' are going to seriously injure those who made fun of them along the way.

It is so hard to win the Cup.

For some reason, I'm imagining Arnold Schwarzenegger saying that.

It truly is difficult...maybe the hardest trophy in sports to win.

Omfg, that Peter Pan guy...

Have any of you ever been to his site?

for tomorrow night.

 

[DaveC]

I missed the entire second round.

Friggin' Army.

We got TV hooked up last night though, so I'll be watching from now on. Sorry, Habs fans.

So the Leafs fired Maurice, hopefully it's a step in the right direction (although Peddie is really the problem, isn't he?)

What do you think Elevated_U2fan?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I actually liked Maurice... especially those couple of times where he lost it on the bench and yelled at all the players

It wasn't really his fault, I don't think he was given much to work with.

You're right about Peddie though... I hate that guy.

 

[senrab]

As much as I like to rag on the Leafs and their fans (when they invade our arena ), I really feel badly for you guys, elevated_u2_fan.

You'll be rooting for the Wings, right?

 

[BoMac]

The playoffs resume tonight!

Dave, since you're a Phillies and Eagles fan, will you be rooting for the Flyers?

 

[GibsonGirl]

They forgot the best one!

I'll be rooting for Pittsburgh, naturally.

 

[DaveC]

Dave, since you're a Phillies and Eagles fan, will you be rooting for the Flyers?

Yeah, but not because of the Phils-Eagles thing, more so because I like watching the Flyers team more than any that are left in the playoffs. They've got an exciting style and a fast young team that knows how to score goals. And God knows the city of Philadelphia could use a championship parade (even more so than Toronto, at least they had the early 90s Blue Jays).

Tonight is the first hockey game I've been able to see live since April 26th. Too bad I have to watch it while cleaning rifle bolts.

 

[CTU2fan]

So me and Dave are rooting for the same club? Wow, an Interference first

Timonen being out really hurts, the Flyers will need all the quality D they can muster in this series. I'm confident Biron will come up huge though...need to steal a game in Pitt this weekend.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, I feel good about thiis series right out of the gate.

 

[CTU2fan]

Hmm, ya I bet the severe beating administered by the Wings last night has you feeling good.

 

[CTU2fan]

I know I'm a couple days late but how could I let the 20 year anniversary of this gem go by...

I tried to find a picture of Kovalev hurting his hand and running into Souray from the 2004 playoffs against Boston but I'm assuming all pictures were destroyed
