It's hockey time again
It's hockey time again
So, I'm cheering on the Flyers.... If I remember correctly, Lothar's probably doing the same for Colorado. Who do you guys think will make it to the final? So, yeah, pretty much this an excuse to say \"go Flyers!\"
Lothar is a Colorado fan? That makes me sick...really, really sick. I didn't think self righteous pricks liked hockey.
On a side note, this playoff series could be one of the better ones in a long time. I hate Detroit, but I wouldn't mind seeing Ottawa kill them. You imagine Shanahan trying to duke it with McGrattan? Simon vs McGrattan?
My predictions, Flames vs Senators. Good Candian hockey.

Well, I would love to say the Avalanche will do it, they just have too many question marks. Detroit can't handle the physical Flames for 5 games, let alone 7. Who else can beat the Flames? San Jose? Vancouver? Nah...Colorado could give them a run but will most likely lose to Nashville in the first round.
Simon + Phaneuf + McCarty + Marchment + Iginla = Lord Stanley's jock.

Hockey tournament play is ending, not beginning! Cornell just lost to Wisconson in the second round of the NCAA Division 1's, so the season is over for me. They barely missed making the Frozen Four.
Cornell lost 1-0 in three OT's, and Wisconson was seeded #1. It was the second-longest game in tournament history. The Cornell and Wisconson goalies made 59 and 40 saves, respectively. And I missed watching it because I suck.
Sorry, I'm losing interest in Pro sports. Why watch a bunch of guys get paid to play a game when you can watch a bunch of guys get paid to both play a game _and_ go to college?

I think it's safe to say that Detroit is in trouble. Obviously the old men can play the quick crappy regular season very well, but they can't handle the physical beatings in the playoffs. I think a Calgary / Colorado conference finals would be very, very good. Overall, good to see the refs letting the boys hit each other, they need to relax a little bit on the hooking but it's been good so far. Glad to see more Canadian teams in the playoffs, Canadian hockey (fighting) is much better than American (dump and run). Oh well, it's still early.
Re:
Monday night left me really pissed off. I mean, you play a double-overtime game one night in which Esche has an absolutely brilliant performance, and the next night, you get absolutely flattened. What the hell's going on here, guys? They'd better come out strong tonight if they have any hope of staying alive.snoopy wrote:Well, two games into the first round, it looks like the Flyers are going to go down in a flaming heap. I'm liking the Devils, though. They are on an elevin game winning streak- I wouldn't be surprised if they make it to the finals. I think maybe my pick is Devils Flames for the final.

Yeah, I feel like the Flyers are getting some bum calls. There was the penalty shot in game 4 the Buffalo, followed almost immediately by a very similar Buffalo penalty that was just called as a 2 min. minor. I didn't like the interference call today that turned into Buffalo's second goal- there isn't much a man can do when he's pushed into the goalie. At the same time, the Ref's are in a hard spot- if they don't make calls, they will get fired- and you can't call everything perfectly. What does piss me off is when the announcer's are weighted toward the other team. (in this case, Buffalo)

Jason Spezza had a goal taken away from him Saturday night vs Tamba Bay cause they called it goalie interference. They didn't call a penalty though. Funny thing is, if they would of reviewed it they would of seen he was trippied right after taking the shot which resulted in him sliding into the goalie.
