The 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

A friend of mine says it's going to a game 7 - I told him I'll kill him if he's right.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

new york city ratings - weekend

phoenix mercury vs. l.a. sparks wnba season opener - 0.7 share

detroit vs. dallas, nhl stanley cup semi final - 0.4 share

yes that's right... the a stanley cup semifinal game lost in the ratings to a WNBA game... in the biggest market in america.

garry bettman just threw up in his mouth.

Well in Detroit people love hockey.

I think...

 

[DaveC]

Go Penguins.

 

[BoMac]

Pittsburgh-Detroit will be a delight to watch....hopefully. *crosses fingers*

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Go Detroit, I guess

 

[CTU2fan]

Go Wings. I'm looking forward to Detroit dropping the hammer on the young Pens.

Did anyone see where Chris Simon has signed on to play in Russia next year? Yeah, that'll go real well. Simon is probably the last guy I'd picture playing in Europe...

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Geez, a little more excitement for the Wings, eh?

I'm looking forward to this series... First finals since 2002!

 

[Thora]

Hmm. I probably won't have time to watch any of this round either, but I guess I'm going for the Penguins.

I missed everything this weekend...Pittsburgh game, Detroit game, Russia vs. Canada....damn sister's college graduation! j/k

 

[angelordevil]

This should be some series. I feel like I'm a traitor against my own people for not supporting our very own Dan Cleary, but I've got to go with the Pens. Their rapid rise, and the fact that they nearly folded a few years ago would make a victory very sweet.

I'm ducking from the octopi.

 

[RavenBlue]

Well, I won't be able to watch it.. but I'm rooting for the Pens.

Pens in Seven

That'd be my guess.

I'm thinking Detroit in seven, though I'm going for the Pens. Should be the series of a lifetime.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

My mom is going to the game tonight. I'm disowning her.

 

[senrab]

I'm home in Western NY this weekend and managed to get CBC on the antenna (my mom doesn't have cable).....coming in pretty scratchy!

 

[BoMac]

Here we go!!! Let the games begin!!! Let's hope its not a letdown, and will be a classic!!

 

[senrab]

Go Eastern Conference

 

[senrab]

LOL Don's voice cracked about 3 times

 

[senrab]

Not good for the Pens - Fleury fell down coming out onto the ice

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

 

[RavenBlue]

Just caught up with the updates on HNIC.com

Come on Pens. Smarten the feck up!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

They can continue to dumb it down, it's ok. Crosby is young, he'll have plenty more chances to get to the big dance.

I am still holding my breath, as anything can happen and no one has won jack shit yet.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Poor Pens are running out of time.

 

[RavenBlue]

*slaps forehead*

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm just going to stay out of this and keep quiet for the time being.

 

[speedracer]

Apparently when your team is down by one goal with 2 minutes left and has the puck deep in the offensive zone, the correct move is to wait until the other team regains possession of the puck, carries it into your own zone and bleeds the clock down to about :30 before you pull the goalie.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I really didn't want to have to use this smiley in this thread, but here goes...

 

[CTU2fan]

So that's the kind of crap goal Pitt needs to win a game in these Finals? Screw 'em. Wings in five.

Yeah, I'm not all for in-depth analysis so I'll just say this:

Kick the shit out of those Pens and hand their asses to them on a silver platter, boys.

Actually, that's the kind of crap goal Chris Osgood usually gives up once every couple years in the playoffs.
