I Now Have One Foot Firmly Placed On The Ottawa Band Wagon

[Michael Griffiths]

My other foot has now joined the ride. Go Sens!!!

NJ in 4

Ottawa are perrenial playoff chokers

like the Blues

Ottawa should have won 5-2, but Brodeur kept his team in it. Wow, Ottawa means business this year, and if the last few games are any indication, nothing's going to stop them! They're on fire. What a team, what a team.

Ottawa - bringing the cup home...

 

[Michael Griffiths]

In my excitement, I forgot to ask - who else saw that OT goal? Are you kidding me??? Ottawa made NJ look like a farm club! What a passing play. I think all 5 Ottawa players touched the puck! It was such a great play that I felt embarrassed for the Devils. Talk about making them look like pilons, Brodeur included.

I love seeing a team force a trap playing team like NJ to play real hockey for a change. NJ couldn't play that style and get away with it tonight! Ah, thanks Sens for showing us what hockey was like 8 years ago.

LET'S GO SENS!!!

They just mentioned Bono's birthday on NHL Tonight.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

You said it baby!!! Can't you just feel the excitement?

 

[Michael Griffiths]

They just mentioned Bono's birthday on NHL Tonight.

What? really?! What did they say exactly and how was it brought up?

 

[Michael Griffiths]

A lesson on putting Brodeur on his back...

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Haha!


I so can... I think with the entire country behind them, Ottawa has the momentum to make this happen.


It was the end of the show, and they were mentioning May 10th being a special day, and the guy (not Barry Melrose) goes, "May 10th, special day... Bono's birthday," He mentions someone else's (and I think it was either one of Barry's kids or wife's b-day too, cause he said, "Oh I thought you'd mention Melissa's first!"), then goes on about Bobby Orr's "Superman Goal" anniversary.

(not Barry Melrose) goes, "May 10th, special day... Bono's birthday,"...

I'm surprised it wasn't Barry. I always thought he wanted to be a rock star!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Can I just say that, just once, I would LOVE to see than man without a pound of hair gel in his hair?! It's like, "jaysus".



But yeah, I cannot wait until Tuesday. Best part of this series, NO LATE GAMES!!!!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

I know - Barry looks like a Leisure Suite Larry type, doesn't he? I bet he's got gold madalions and the whole bit! I heard that when he used to coach the Kings, he and Bruce McNaul used to clean Gretzky's pool for him when he was out of town.

No late games! What do you mean? The Canucks started well before sundown at 7:30 every evening, sometimes even 7:00! I know, life is rough when you're not living on the West coast

I bet he loves that Bob Seger song, "Hollywood Nights", too...


*imagines Barry getting giggy with it

I saw that too. I thought it was hilarious.

Never thought anyone would bring that game up... good stuff Mikey. I always made Larry "ruin" his suit. Come on, I was only 8 years old...

Chiz and LMPA...did you happen to see the ESPN special last night (I think it was on the duece, right before the game) about the Detroit Red Wings? AWESOME show! Very good insight to behind the scenes for an NHL team. Loved the trading deadline stuff.

Did *you* see the game last night Chiz? The score was not indicatitive of the game itself (though I know you don't look at anything else besides that so it's really a mute point in any conversation with you). But if you saw the game, you would have noticed specifically 3 things:

1. 75% of the game was played in the NJ end of the ice.

2. Brodeur was stellar as usual.

3. Lalime was average at best, and that's even a stretch.

But I expected NJ to win game 2. They had 2 days to think about how to counter the mighty Ottawa attack, and that coupled with the fact that Ottawa were slightly off at times really did them in. Expect a split in NJ as well. Ottawa will win game 5 and 6 to stave off a 7th game. The series could go 7 games, but Ottawa has too much talent and experience of losing to blow such an opportunity in my mind. Should be a great series!

That Red Wings special has been airing for a few weeks now. I wish it would be released on dvd!

 

[Chizip]

i think "the season" puts a curse on the teams they cover. all of the seasons i have seen, the teams they were covering did really bad. im surprised teams would allow them to do those documentaries, as i would think it would only serve to be a distraction. but, it is interesting to see nonetheless.

 

[Chizip]

for the series michael new jersey has played 133% better than ottawa. with them playing this well i think it will only go 5.

Of course I catch the last episode.

Yeah, that would be awesome as a DVD - especially because you know they additional footage.

 

[Chizip]
