The 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

[iloveedge]

Well, that was a good game!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Hold on, hold on....I missed the opening. Are you telling me they came out to Streets tonight? They did that years ago and then in 2005 switched to a loop of Coldplay's "Fix You".

They went back to Streets and I missed it?!

Actually, oops, they did come out to Fix You but played Streets just prior to that. Sorry

I was in the next room just before but I swear I heard the crowd singing along to 40 but my boyfriend who I spoke with later said he didn't hear that. Was I dreaming?? could be possible as I heard A Sort of Homecoming the last couple times, they love their U2

Great game tonight Especially the first minutes of the game, what a crowd

 

[RavenBlue]

The Habs are in it to win it for sure. Great game to watch.

Playing Streets near the start and Vertigo during the goals..

Good song choices lads

There's rumours in town of Ottawa trying to exchange Spezza for Luongo in the summer...

Wishful thinking, never going to happen. It would take a lot for the Canucks to give up Luongo, certainly more than Jason Spezza (who's been vastly overrated for years). The best goalie in the league does not go for a #3 forward.

Glad the Habs won tonight.

Go Caps and Pens tonight!!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Grrr, I'm currently on a train from Ottawa to Toronto and I thought I'd be able to watch the game on NHL.com but either they're not showing playoff games or it's due to my location. I wanted to watch the Caps/Philly and Sens/Pens game

 

[BoMac]

I hate to say it, but you're missing two great games! Unfortunately, Ottawa just erased a 3-0 deficit to tie the game with 10 minutes to go in the third.

And Washington was leading 2-1, Philly scored 3 goals in a row to make it 4-2 and now the Capitals have tied it up at 4 with less than 10 minutes to go in the third. I'm getting caught up in all the Caps hoopla! It's quite exciting to watch, and if the Habs would get knocked off, I'll be pulling for them!

 

[BoMac]

And it's Ovechkin!!! Wow!

What a game! 5-4 Caps with four minutes to go!

 

[senrab]

Caps are something else.

 

[RavenBlue]

Caps rock

Too bad for the Sens.

At least they can say they've scored a couple goals this playoff season anyway

 

[senrab]

 

[BoMac]

That's a great shot! If the Habs weren't in the playoffs and poised to make a long run, I'd be totally rooting for Ovie and the Caps!

Rock the Red! (except against the Canadiens )

 

[Lemon Meringue]

It looks like someone around here has to say it.












GO WILD!!!!!

 

[DaveC]

That's a great shot!

It would be if uber-douche Glenn Healy wasn't hanging around stone-faced in the background.

 

[iloveedge]

Streets played again

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Reminds me of a few years at the Olympics when the Canadian team came out to that (or was it the World Cup of Hockey)...

Boston had a great first period but Habs are a winnin'!

 

[Thora]

Man, that last shot that went off the post was incredible. I thought it was in!

OT should be interesting!

 

[pat132]

Man, that last shot that went off the post was incredible. I thought it was in!

Yeah, I thought the same because of the green light

The referees really sucked tonight

 

[pat132]

OMFG, Kovalev scored!!!

 

[iloveedge]

OMG!! Amazing!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

That gave me a attack!

Don Cherry is so pissed they didn't call the high-sticking by the Habs player (Streit?) on Boston's Reich.

 

[senrab]

Don Cherry is unabashedly biased with Toronto and Boston.

 

[zonelistener]

GO WILD!!!!!

I've been waiting for you to come around Anita! Did you attend the first two games?

 

[CTU2fan]

Flyers looking good through 2

Though I said that on Friday

 

[Lemon Meringue]

I've been waiting for you to come around Anita! Did you attend the first two games?

I was only at the first one when the Wild lost. I'll be there if things go to se7en games.

 

[senrab]

Damn Bruins

 

[CTU2fan]

Great game by the Flames last night.

Bizarre, I tune in and all these thoughts occurred to me in succession (I don't see a ton of Western Conference/Calgary games...

3-0, what the hell? Holy crap, is that Jeremy Roenick??? Holy shit it's CuJo!

 

[BoMac]

I saw this today and it just blew my mind:

[RavenBlue]

Feckin' Sens. Great first period and then a steady downfall after that. Can that series promptly end so I can focus my energy on the Flames and Canadiens. Merci.
