Check nhl.com for the complete schedule (although I will admit that I really hate that site because it's ugly and a total pain in the ass to navigate).

If this is your first NHL playoffs when you seriously follow, fucking strap-in. In no other sport is "the second season" more true than in the NHL.

In response to Reply # 5


  

          

I suspect NBC is carrying more games than did ABC, throughout the playoffs and the finals. OLN should cover a lot of the rest although ESPN didnt get every first round game. In 04, I barely saw any of the Leafs-Sens series, probably some with the Canadian deal, I dunno.

Buffalo in 7. Less if Philly gets the injury bug.

Sens over the Devils in 7

>Western Conference

>1. Detroit vs. 8. Edmonton
Detroit in 5

Calgary in 5. I don't think this'll be as close as I've heard some people say.
>4. Nashville vs. 5. San Jose
San Jose in 7

Detroit over San Jose in 5, Calgary over Dallas in 6
Wings over the Flames in 6

Wings over the Sens in 6

In response to Reply # 14


  

          

It seems pretty clear that Emery will be in net so if they dont have Redden and Chara @ 100%, that is trouble. I just dont think anyone is playing as well as the Devils right now, I mean whatcha see is whatcha get with the EGG line improving AGAIN this year, the glue guys like Madden and Brylin and Marty shoring up any losses on defense with a whole other level of play during their push for the Atlantic crown.

Unless they just run out of gas- which seems unlikely- it is going to take a lot to knock them out in a 7-game series.

Detroit is a little more solid, I think they can be outworked by a team like Calgary though and Dallas is also capable of doing them in. I dont get to see Anaheim enough but occasionally, they could probably surprise anyone.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I know I've been passing on most of these NHL posts during the season, but that's because I hate Ron Wilson with a passion burning deep inside my soul. That said, I can't NOT support Cheechoo, Hannan, Marleau, Nabby, Thornton, and Thornton come play-off time. (Plus this cute female friend of mine keeps taking me to the bar to watch the games, buying me drinks and fries and shit. Hells yes I'm a hockey fan again.)

That said, I see you people picking Detroit over SJ. NO! They're old, man. Chelios is like 73, Lidstrom is a glass-man, Shanny is a career Shark-killer but I don't care, it's going to be sad to watch Yzerman go out in defeat, but that's how it's gotta be, that Zetterberg kid is good but not a proven play-off guy yet, and that Holmstrom kid is too dirty for his own good. Fuck Detroit. These teams got some history, and I'm going to be calling back to the Spirit of '93-'94 -- Sergei Makarov, Johan Garpenlov, Igor Larionov, Sandis Ozolinsh, Jamie Baker, Arturs Irbe, Jayson Moore (yes I just said Jayson Moore), Jeff Norton, Rob Goodreau, Pat Falloon, Ray fucking Whitney bitches, Mike Rathje, Shawn Cronin FUCKERS, fucking KEVIN CONSTANTINE -- we're going to ROLL on that bitch-ass Detroit squad just like we did then, and I'm gonna shout and holler just like I did then, too.

...or maybe we'll lose, whatever, either way...

SAN JOSE!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!

If they can establish their great physical game, they'll overpower Nashville.

I wasn't even aware that Carle got called up. This kid got some serious game, very good on both ends of the ice. He won the Hobey this past season.

>Lidstrom is a glass-man

>Shanny is a career Shark-killer but I don't care
... that he is faster this year and has 40 goals and 81 points

>it's going to be sad to watch Yzerman go out in defeat
... but it won't happen. FYI, leading up to the playoffs, he's had 14 points in 12 games

>that Zetterberg kid is good but not a proven play-off guy yet
... but will be this year. Zetterberg = Future selke winner.

>and that Holmstrom kid is too dirty for his own good
... uhhh, he does what he's allowed to do. It's the goalies and D-men playing dirty with crosschecks and trips.

Regardless, unless I misread your post... we play Edmonton in the first round, not SJ.

Go Wings.

i dont see any better PK combo out there.

i would take zetterberg over datsyuk, too, but datsyuk could go his whole career without a positive comment about his play in his own zone, let alone an award.

Are a pretty nasty PK duo in their own right. Either way, you're not gonna find two sets much better than them.

I'm just saying that I predict that SJ and DET will be facing each other in the second round, and I'm getting some pre-emptive shit-talking out of the way.

And Chelios is still like 73, and that's old.

Plus, SJ v. NAS is boring, but SJ v. DET has some history, upon which I can talk some trash. Just saying the name Todd Elik got you shook all over again, see?

In response to Reply # 41


  

          

i am saying that if they had Roloson, Samsonov and the D they picked up, they could have been in much better shape. they were winning games with CHUMPS in net all year long and blowing a lot of close ones, if they have even an above average goalie all year they could EASILY have crept up to the middle seeds IMO and set up a better run.

Once they got Roloson I picked them as a possible dark horse but then I saw them a couple of times, I dunno, they still look a year away to me.

Datsyuk not playing because of a Charley Horse??? Don Cherry must be in his glory.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

And as the only Ranger fan I've ever communicated with that I like, I'm sorry. The Devils are playing really fucking good right now. Still, the X factors are Jagr and Lundqvist. As they go, so goes your team. Jags can take over a series if he wants it. And Lundqvist is capable of standing on his head. I really think this should be a decent series, but the Rags can't make many mistakes.

If God doesn't totally hate Bruins fans (whihc I'm not so sure about), the Habs will go out like the punk cunts they are.

Realistically, I like either the Sens or the Devils out of the East, and Detroit or San Jose out of the West.

He's like Darcy Tucker with fewer balls. One of the few guys who I would cheer if they blew out a knee or got hit with a shot in the throat or got Malarchuk'd and had someone skate over their throat.

If I didn't have college hockey this year, I may have never watched a Bruins game again.

As it is...the success of my alma mater made me far less bitter about hockey than I would have been, and thus I can chill after watching a Bs-less postseason, hope we get Kessel, Staal or Backstroem, and try to root for them again next year.

But if next year's the same, fuck that...I'll be finding another squad for real.

THE FLYING P IS IN THIS MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!!!!

This is an interesting series. Buffalo obviously has the advantage on speed. But their goaltender has been suspect over the post-Olympic schedule and they are subject to getting knocked around. If the Flyers can play their game (hard hitting and good d, with good production from the top two lines (Jeff Carter, bitches)), they should win in 5 or 6, and never really be in danger.

I have a feeling that Esche is gonna show his ass in this series. He's real hard to figure as far as emotions and how he's gonna play, but he seems to elevate in the play offs. I'm hoping, at least.

(Of course they had to finish so my two favorite NHL players would face each other in the first round. Its 05-06, I'm a Bruins fan and trying to maximize the teams I can root for, thus Drury vs. Meyer. Bruins fans deserve Kessel for our pain and suffering.)

Esche is finally healthy, I think, but Niitty gives me a little more confidence. Miller fell apart (relatively speaking) for a stretch but had a couple of really strong games top finish the year.

People keep talking about our history with Muffalo in the playoffs; it's just that, HISTORY. Totally different teams squaring off here. I think with a mostly healthy team (Foppa, Handzus staying in the lineup) we can beat these guys.

At least I got the city right for the match-up. Seriously, though, who's on Nashville now? That short passing center I always like finally retired, right? I forget dude's name, but he was nice in Nashville.

Oh, I just looked at their roster on nhl.com -- THANK GOD Steve Sullivan is injured, that guys lives to play the Sharks. I've never understood how players do that, consistently kill one team, but he's a completely different player when he sees the color teal.

Otherwise, Kariya is a punk, his style of play doesn't hang in the playoffs, I don't know if Vokoun is ready for the pressure, Greg Johnson is old as dirt, Martin Erat has a hella dumb name, Yanic Perreault has been a career disappointment (minus the face-off circle), and their blue-liners look like they won't be able to contain Marleau and Michalek, much less Thornton and Cheechoo.

And Predators is actually a dumber mascot than Thrashers. I think that's all I need to say about that.

I thought he took that Stevens shot like a champ, I will never forget the look on his face when he regained consciousness; it was like he came back from the dead. He was also pretty clutch for Team Canada playing with a one-legged Mario.

I actually just found out my DirectTV in LA now carries OLN (channel 608) which makes me very happy. Does TSN stand for Toronto Sports Network? And if a game is only being broadcast on TSN, rather than NBC or OLN, does that mean I can't watch it in the U.S.?

Someone fill me in, I want to figure out how I can watch as many of these games as possible.

Yeah, it sucks dick, only ONE game tonight? Luckily they are carrying the Flyers locally. I asked if Center Ice was doing anything with the playoffs and the Comcast dumbasses had no ide.

TSN stands for "The Sports Network," I believe; they have SportsCentre and stuff like that. I dont think DirectTV has it but you see it on the guide then you probably get the game.

The NHL should just nut up and BUY A TV STATION. That is the key in local, I see no reason why they couldnt make it work for a whole league. Keep with the center ice but also have another network that does two national games every night they are on the schedule.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 56


  

          

way they called them in the regular season he'd see to it that they wouldn't be reffing any further as the playoffs go along?

And before anyone gets all emo and hits the reply button, this is just something I heard in passing on ESPN, I know they usually "let them play" during the playoffs.

200. "the diving has been gross."
In response to Reply # 64


  

          

tons of flops and arms closing on sticks. i've only seen TWO diving minors, there should be at least that many in every game IMO.

another thing that was not playoff hockey was the way Edmonton defended Peca shorthanded last night. he blew by three wings who just eased back expecting a dump-in when he skated in and got a decent chance against them.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Mark Smith, 4th line grinder, energy, hustle guy, opens the Sharks post-season scoring. Mark Smith is EXACTLY the type of player that ultimately decides post-season series, and he's decided that the Sharks should have the lead.

In response to Reply # 58


  

          

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we won't be giving up 4 PP goals in every game. Well, unless we continue to play the PK like that. That was fucking an embarrassment to organized hockey the world over. I mean, it was fucking bad.

Even strength, the Preds really didn't generate any scoring chances besides what SJ handed to them (clearing the zone was an issue all game), but SJ had plenty. They helped the goalie look good by really failing to capitalize on some of their chances.

And Nils Ekman may have gotten a goal, but it's official, I HATE THAT DUDE'S FUCKING GUTS. Shooting OVER the fucking net repeatedly (why you going high in the playoffs, Nils, against a giant of a goal-tender?), blowing passes, failing to capitalize on easy chances. I haven't hated a Shark this bad since Brian Marchment, but at least Mush had some redeeming qualities. This Ekman guy fucking BLOOOOOOOWS.

Grahame was playing well too...but you just can't give up back to back PPs against a team with firepower like Ottawa.

And then a shorthanded goal...shit.

With the exception of the 5 on 3 in the 1st period, the Lightning have squandered power play after power play.

65. "There are several things that I liked..."
In response to Reply # 63


  

          

- We outplayed and out-hustled them for the majority of the game, which was a huge concern for me prior to game 1.

- Legace made some outstanding saves. The 2 goals were on the PP, one was just a beautiful play, and the other he was screened on.

- GARBAGE GOALS! The Maltby goal to send it to overtime was the type of goal we were NOT getting the last 2 playoff series. That is a good sign.

- Furthermore, 2 out of 3 goals were EVEN STRENGTH.

- We did this without Datsyuk.

- Yzerman lookes 18 again and it is a legitimate threat.

- Chelios is turning into the warrior he can be a la his Blackhawk days.

- HITS: Edmonton 17, Detroit... 29!!!

I could go on and on. But this was a great win and the next game will let us know if we are truly a contender this year.

Go Wings.

and barely won.

Take that either way. Could be a good sign, could be a bad one. The PK was on and off, it will have to be if they have face Nashville or San Jose even though those are both teams that they should beat.

A lot of shots were being taken but not getting to the net; they were really letting them rip (I dont have the numbers but I bet almost as many shots were blocked/went wide as hit the net, which was like 55 or something). Franzen and some other guys were really loose out there, that could hurt you against a counterpunching team like Calgary.

Like I said, Edmonton made all the right moves over the course of a season but they are a year away. That was true of Nashville in 04 and the Wings got away with a less-than-dominant performance.

Laraque is a beast.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

The way I look at it is that in years past, we LOST the close games and OT games. Not only that, we came from behind. Edmonton played a trap game, and we adjusted accordingly. Thank you Babcock.

>A lot of shots were being taken but not getting to the net;
>they were really letting them rip (I dont have the numbers but

It ended up being up over 100 potential shots. Something like 57 shots + 35ish blocked shots + however many "just wide" shots.


>Franzen and some other
>guys were really loose out there, that could hurt you against
>a counterpunching team like Calgary.

I thought Franzen played pretty good. It was our grinders that really stepped up this game and gave us what we needed...

GARBAGE GOALS!

To me, that is the greatest possible positive thing from this game. We lost to Anaheim and Calgary because we could not catch any breaks, bounces, or garbage goals when needed. Always trying to make the fancy play and beat the goalie and never adjusting the types of shots.


>Laraque is a beast.

Yes, yes he is.

This series is far from over IMO. If Edmonton goes down 0-2, the series is a sweep. Otherwise, 7 games. Oh yeah, and Detroit is better on the road... wahoo!

Go Wings.

Yeah, but the 1-4 was doing the job for stretches and Edmonton had a couple of good chances in OT before they ran out of gas, better than the redirect from the boards that won the game for damn sure. It was a pretty lukewarm performance for both teams IMO, they could both be encouraged by some things but as far as Edmonton winning the series and Detroit going DEEP, both teams would need to play better.



>It ended up being up over 100 potential shots. Something like

Yeah, that is about what I figured and that is quite a few. I think that is one thing Edmonton can feel good about, Roloson is getting down like he did in Minnesota when they were on their run in 2003. He wont stop that many shots every night though, obviously, so they have to be concerned there.

Yeah, they played very well, he had some nice energy shifts especially late in the game when some other guys were dragging. This game wasnt as physical as some of the others where guys were walking into walls trying to clear pucks down the stretch.

I just think that if you shoot it that liberally against the Stars or Flames that it wont be as effective. A shot ON GOAL is not a bad play, but a shot certainly can be.

Eh, it was a little more than that. I mean there was definitely a paucity of breaks ... it was the most heartbreaking SWEEP I've ever seen. Calgary I thought outplayed the Wings, they were showing their ass as an aging team at that point and obviously made a number of changes as a result.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 82


          

Took him with my first pick. Jersey's powerplay without him: 15% with him: 22%

That's easy math. Lundqvist didn't have much of a chance on most of the goals though. Discipline is obviously the key to these playoffs, especially with pp's like the devils, sens & wings.



peace

That should have been a penalty but it was an arrogant play by Foppa to cut in front of his own net like that.

In response to Reply # 87


  

          

Esche was gangsta - he really seems to bring it for the playoffs.

The good news is, in my mind, this Sabres team is beatable. They threw an incredible effort at us and just snuck by us in overtime. That is not to say that they are not a balanced, talented team. But they can be beaten. A few things we have to do better:

1) Defense. I actually wasn't too disappointed with Hatcher and Rathje down the stretch. They are limited by speed, but as the game went on they played good positional hockey and helped slow the pace of the game. Frederick Meyer the 4 also played well, imo, with the exception of one mistake in OT. He's really been a revelation for this team. My problem last night with Rico and Joni. Rico looked like he was playing with a 100 pound sack of potatoes on his back towards the end of the game. He still plays a pretty solid game, but he tires and the quality of his play goes down hill markedly. Hitch HAS to watch his shifts. Joni, on the other hand, has to elevate his play. He's so aggravating because he's so goddamn talented and can do things that no other D-man on the team can do. But his decision making is still suspect at times. One thing that caught my eye is towards the end of the game he started dumping the puck, rather than carrying it in. A little thing, for sure, but with big consequences as the Flyers had had success all game controlling the puck across the blue line. He can't have brain farts like that if he is going to be successful.

Another thing they will have to do is not let the Sabres get set up in the zone -- guys will have to be more aggressive without neglecting positional play. The Sabres can make things happen with speed, but to me their speed is more dangerous in the zone rather than on the rush. The way to beat that is to challenge them before they can move.

2) The DUC line. It remains to be seen if Umberger gets back (though all indications are that he will). These guys looked a little lost before they got their game together -- though that was shattered by losing RJ. Carter is fucking deadly with that wrist shot - he has to pepper Miller anytime he's down there. Dimitrakos looked good to me last night, but he needs those guys to step it up.

3) Bury chances. This is standard playoff talk, but it was especially apropos last night as the Flyers had multiple chances to seal the deal in OT and put more pressure on the Sabres, but couldn't do it. They MUST MUST MUST take advantage where they can.

This is still a very winnable series. The Flyers need to win game 2, however, for me to get a little more comfortable.

Yeah, this has been an ongoing debate, this one dude I know claims he never stole a game in 2004 and is a pretty weak goalie for the playoffs. I could see a strong argument for Niitty but I dont think either of those things are true at all. I think he shut a lot of people up yesterday, that wasnt just strong positioning and poise, that was a really spectacular effort.

I didnt really get to see the end of the game (DVR cut off) but yeah, I think we should see quicker shifts from the D early. In the first period we were making quick changes right at the beginning. It's hard to get them in against an uptempo team though.


>Another thing they will have to do is not let the Sabres get

Hitch has to make a decision, try and forecheck real aggressively and take away the red line or ease back with the trap and force a bunch of dump-ins. I think the latter will be more effective, he has already said he wants to draw their forwards into the corners and dump-ins create a physical battle in the corner right away. It might be hard to outskate them but our D and centers have good lateral mobility and it's a hell of lot better than letting them carry it or pass it into the zone.

95. "That Buffalo team is good, but y'all still got a shot"
In response to Reply # 90


  

          

I'm picking Philly as my team in the East on the back of Mike Rathje alone, but...

Esche was HUGE. You guys didn't even really deserve to be in OT yesterday except for Esche making some huge plays. It was the first game on the road and that crowd was incredible, so it's not the end of the world that you got a little outplayed, but you still got outplayed.

Forsberg started doing his thing after the bad start. Gagne was in a lot of good places and looking like a threat, but he was really struggling with the finishing. The last touch kept letting him down. Kapanen is a hell of a player, and I think he's really critical for you guys, on both offense and defense. Rathje is such a damn vet, he's so fucking money at this time of the season. Yeah, he's slow, but who cares? You never have to be concerned when he's on the ice, ever. He just doesn't really produce any offense, but that's not that big of a deal.

The Buffalo team is good, though. Mike Grier was showing his worth. This is exactly the type of situation where he really shines. What I said about Rathje can be said about Numminen, only a little more offense. Afinogenov is going to be a factor in at least one game. Their goalie, at least last night, didn't have to make the plays that Esche did, though, and that might end up being the difference in the series.

And then after that hit? I'm definitely going to be checking for this match-up, because it's gonna get SERIOUS.

98. "the kapanen-handzus-nedved line is as good as most..."
In response to Reply # 95


  

          

teams' top line IMO, I think they should get as many shifts as the Forsberg line if not more early in games to let Foppa, Gagne and Knuble conserve their energy a little. It would be nice to have Johnsson, not only is he probably out best all-around D but we miss his minutes more than anything.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

100. "Nedved is such a frustrating player..."
In response to Reply # 98


  

          

He's got all the talents to be a perennial 40 goal scorer, but there's just something missing. I think it's his hockey IQ at this point, positioning, play-making, all that stuff -- he lacks that stuff. Plus his desire is obviously not always there. His hands are as good as anyone in the league, but he just doesn't put it all together for some reason.

Kind of reminds of Viktor Kozlov -- so much talent, which comes through and shines at times, but ultimately a disappointment compared to his potential.

Plus, I don't see what you see in Handzus. He's a nice player, n doubt, but not *that* exceptional.

103. "Nedved/Zus"
In response to Reply # 100


  

          

Yeah, Nedved is kind of a dumbass, I dont think he is as talented as say, Kovalev, but he is that level of underachiever relative to talent. He has been good for us though.

Handzus is the most underrated fuck in the business and he wouldnt be if more people saw what Flyers fans (and I guess Slovaks) do. The guy is a player for EVERY situation- ES, PK, PP- and he makes his linemates better at both ends of the ice (shit, look how much better Nedved has looked since he came over, someone here said "he had a heart transplant". He is big, he's smart and he plays through injuries. The only thing he lacks is speed/skating ability; he is like a defenseman the way he relies on his reach and lateral mobility to make plays on defense and his smarts and skills on offense.

I just could not be more pleased with Handzus, he is a guy who if you had 10 or 12 of them on your roster, you'd be in business. I bet anything that if we were ever dumb enough to let him walk, he'd go to Jersey and make their second line dynamite.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Who the hell do they think I am? I thought this thing was a nooner, not 10 am. You telling me I shouldn't be out drinking on a Saturday night just so I can see some hockey? Or think to set my DVR at 10 in the morning?

Whatever -- SJ up 3-0 on 3 PP goals, exact reversal of the last game. Good thing, because we really needed to split these road games. I didn't think we'd play the whole series as bad as the first one (which we nearly won).

99. "Sharks will take that series over"
In response to Reply # 96


  

          

They are hot, Nashville is going to run out of steam. If the Sharks can manage to win the PIM battle, they will win, these two teams are both strong on the PP but at even strength I think the Sharks are better.

Nice play by Marleau to Cheechoo, I swear they should just put them on a line together but I guess that would not leave much of a second line.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

... in that first game more than Nashville did anything to deserve a win. Toskala was obviously nervous to start, the PK was disgraceful, and there were so many stupid decisions made in the defensive zone, and Nashville still *barely* got that win. If the Sharks went up against a team that was as disjointed as they were that day, I'd want at least a 2 goal victory.

Hopefully they can take the next two at home and then they'll be cruising.

102. "that series will not go 7 games; sj in six, I think"
In response to Reply # 101


  

          

I dont think the Sharks are solid enough to win four in a row but Nashville is close to bad enough to lose that many. All year long they played an open game and relied on Vokoun to bail them out of almost every difficult situation. Well, he isnt there and they arent facing the bottom of a weak-ass division, they are facing playoff teams.

I like Nashville but they are a couple of players away. Sillinger and Witt are rentals, so they might be 3 or 4 players away. If they had Vokoun, I'd give them a decent chance of beating San Jose but still not great; the momentum is on SJ's side with Toskala winning his last 7 or 8 and the offense developing such chemistry.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

They played like a team that belongs in a game with the Presidents Cup winner; excellent game. Who'd have thought that an EDMONTON team would have success with the TRAP?

They moved up their forecheck opportunistically, forced dump-ins, took away the middle of the zone, were excellent on draws and got outstanding play from Pronger, Peca, Roloson and Bergeron. Stoll had a hard luck game at both ends of the ice, at least he got the empty-netter.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

120. "that trap is absolutely ridiculous to penetrate"
In response to Reply # 97


  

          

a lotta cats round here are complainin about it, but if its legal and sucessful whats the problem?? I hate it but i dont think its not fair. the only thing i havent liked so far is the calls are not consistent like they were in the regular season.

Also...one problem i have with the nhl playoffs

the regular season doesnt matter at all for this one reason, an 8 seed can beat a 1 seed and make it to the stanley cup finals. that is all but impossible in the nba (98 Knicks aside) its a lot more likely in the nhl cuz the rules just change. it is like two differnt games and i dont think that will help the sport grow like they would like.

122. "The complaints are about how boring it is..."
In response to Reply # 120


  

          

and I absolutely agree.

Plain and simple, it's just boring to watch from either side.

A lot of people from around here are complaining... but so are Edmonton fans. A lot of Oilers fans on LetsGoWings and HFBoards are apologizing for their team!

They say McTavish is out of their next season most likely unless he can pull off an upset, hence the change of style against us.

Oilers fans want their aggressive forechecking and physical game, just as much as Detroit fans want the Trap gone.

Go Wings.

127. "Team speed is not one of our strengths"
In response to Reply # 126


  

          

We are faster than years past for sure, but Edmonton is 100000 times faster, which is why they are using the trap.

The only usually effective tactic against the trap is dump and chase. The problem with that is that they are faster than us and will reach the puck faster 9 outta 10 times.

I would be apologizing too if the Wings were using the trap constantly. Yeah, it's great to win... but it's better to win and be proud of how you did it.

If the only way I could win a trip to Hawaii was to slap, kick, and spit on every one of my friends moms... I would be ecstatic to go to Hawaii, but I don't think anyone or myself would be very proud of how I did it.

Yeah, bizarre example... I'm up way too early.

GO WINGS!

Go Wings.

132. "did u just compare spittin in faces to the oiler trap??? LOL"
In response to Reply # 127


  

          

i get your point but if they win they won fair and square according to the "NEW" NHL. I see you're point about the oilers gettin to the puck first when we dump and chase but i believe that is because he are obstructed on the way. as for our overall speed, i was referring to the fact that we CAN actually gain the zone w/o dumping and chasing prior to the playoffs which was not the case in years past. BUT bc of the trap we are not even capable of doing so. We'll see how tonights game goes and I am going to watch very closely to see how we can not get to the puck wether it be us stopping or us gettin held or somethin.

Anyway...gonna be a late night for us tonight But GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early posting is like drunk posting.

I just really hate the TRAP! But it's effective and could be the reason Edmonton advances.

This is the make or break game tonight. If we don't figure out the trap tonight... goodbye Wings!

On another note, if we do... we may be facing Colorado next, crazy.

the trap cant put goals in the net for the oilers so just wait till after this game before u go endin the series early.

Colorado doesnt have as much thunder as it did but still amazing that Dallas (many experts favorite) is about to go down.

Based on your ealry posting i cant wait to see a drunk one!!!

With Hasek still out, the Lightning can definitely advance..

As long as they play well defensively, Tampa should win this series.
Granted, that's a big if, but still...

Good to see St.Louis get untracked.


There's no reason we can't come back to Ottawa up 3-1. But our goaltending is liable to falter at any given moment, so who knows.

WW1: The kid looked a bit lost in the first period. More than made up for it in the 2nd.

The PP was working though the Avs failed capitalize on the 5-3.

The PK was awesome. Overall, their defense was good, limiting Dallas to 18 shots.

WW2:I expect the Stars to make some adjustments but I don't see the Avs letting up on D. Block more shots, boys and pepper Turco on the other end. I'm sick and tired of hearing how good of a regular season goaltender this guy is.

If you got OLN you'd watch the Rangers get ass raped by the Devils again.

This is the 1st year in a looooong time that I've missed the playoffs (not including the lockout). Even if I did have a TV down here I wouldn't get CBC or TSN. Plus I'd have to pay quite a bit to get OLN probably.

In response to Reply # 109


  

          

Don't let it worry you TOO much, though. I can distinctly remember TWO series where SJ had a 3-2 series lead as the bottom seed (once against DET, once against STL), went home for game 6 with supposedly the best chance to wrap the series up, then proceeded to lay an egg to the tune of 5+ goal losses (I mean like 7-1, 6-0, ugly stuff), only to bounce back and win game 7 on the road.

Anyway, the point being -- sometimes it's a good thing when your team sleeps through a game, because they tend to be pretty focused on the rebound.

That was a bitchass performance. The Flying P should be ashamed of themselves for that.

I don't really know what they can do to improve at this point - it's good they're coming home, I guess. Hopefully the Wachovia will be bumping and they can get some momentum. They have to score first.

One more concerning thing -- despite the poor play by the Flyers and the fact that they probably would've gotten bitchslapped anyway, the refs sucked again last night. The game misconduct on Gauthier was a joke and the refs seemed to get involved in everything. Bullshit.

115. "Let me say for the record that I don't like going with Esche over"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Nitty......going in I was pissed about it, although Esche was huge in the second half of Saturday's game. He literally was the biggest reason they were able to even get to overtime.

But what the hell is going on tonight? I haven't even left work yet and they're down 5-0?!?

Nittymaki is better than Esche, straight up. I don't care that Esche is the vet, he's not a vet with a Cup on his resume and he's not an automatic playoff start when you got a guy like Nitty on your squad. Him getting punked in that must-have Jersey game last week was what I thought would be the final sign to Hitch that Esche shouldn't start. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

If anything, I like the inexperience at goalie for us. Get a guy who doesn't even realize how big the games are and let his skill and youthfull arrogance take over. It worked for us with Ronny Hextall in '87, Brian Boucher in '00 (underrated how well he played outside of the game 5 ECF), and even to some degree Esche in '03.

Finally, I don't want to come across as negative, especially since I've watched less hockey this year than I ever have due to my location and the NHL becoming a minor league sport in the US......but I'm seeing a lot of the same problems early in this playoff chase with the Flyers: goalie problems, Desjardins making asinine game-costing turnovers in his own zone and someone in orange and black skating through a zone with their head down before getting knocked into another time warp.

By the way, getting 'Umbergered' is my newest catchphrase to signify getting knocked the fuck out, getting blacked out drunk and so on. I've already dropped it on some Flyers fans in casual conversation and none needed an explanation thus far. That kid was out of his body before he even hit the ice.

Esche is only slightly worse, he put in work in game 1 and did a good job in 2004 as well as for team usa in the world cup. Niitty is the more talented goalie and I would have preferred to see him but I think the way our skaters played we'd be down 2-0 with either guy in net; hell we might be down 2-0 with Patrick Roy in net.

>But what the hell is going on tonight? I haven't even left
>work yet and they're down 5-0?!?

Yeah, I was in class (recording the game, of course) and I get a message "unfuckingacceptable" ... another "Hextall circa 1998" and on and on. No scores, just this pessimistic commentary. I got home in time to see the Sabres notch their eighth goal and all was explained.

I dont like the way Hitchcock has played his lines, either, mixing shit up too much. What happened to that second line of Kapanen, Nedved and Handzus? Why does he think the fastest skater on the ice and his two best defensive forwards need to spend time with Brashear when he is a total liability in this series? I think Hitchcock is a first rate coach but some shit doesnt add up. With the D pairs, he hands are pretty much tied. I could see Pitkanen playing with Gauthier maybe. I dunno, it would be nice to get a 25-minute D out there in Johnsson. If we had Johnsson, we could carry 7 D. Fuck it, he is only rolling three lines for the most part in this series. Tampa carried 7 in their Cup run and mixed up their lines a lot, I would LOVE to see us do that in this series but we dont have another respectable blue liner.

Always a crap shoot but Niitty is poised, look @ his performance in the Olympics.

How Desjardins did not get bought out before the season is beyond me. He was good in the beginning of the year, then injured (what a surprise!) then pretty much what you see now when he returned. I thought he and Brashear should have been gone considering their salaries with the cap now.

The Flyers are going to have to part ways with a bunch of guys. I think Esche will be gone next year, Nedved is a rental probably (I think he is an RFA), Brashear is a UFA (may be re-signed for peanuts), Desjardins is out as a UFA and Therien is out as a UFA. Of course Primeau's status is still sort of uncertain although I guess he has been doing some hitting lately.

Johnsson is going to get a small raise, Gagne is going to get a huge one.

That's four to six guys going out and two guys going up in price. Now people see why we couldnt pop a huge wad on Bulin or make some crazy deal to rent Luongo or whatever.

>By the way, getting 'Umbergered' is my newest catchphrase to

Yeah, it's popular here, too, mostly for getting knocked out but I will try and get the movement moving on getting blackout trashed, too.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I can't disagree there, this team is getting completely outplayed. But a .500 save percentage isn't much help. And truthfully, as good as he played in Game 1 I still wasn't that impressed. In terms of volume of shots, that's an amazing number of stops. But not that many of them felt like tough saves and the Sabres missed the net or hit outside of the post on what would have been sure goals. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating......but I'm also not gonna say that Esche was incredible that evening either.

He made some pretty tough ones, I mean sure Buffalo missed some good chances but that is just a testament to them skating all over the Flyers. Not only did they have dozens of odd-man rushes (I mean literally 40 or 50), but they could have had more than they did. They could pass or carry the puck into the offensive zone most of the time and they won a bunch of dump-ins, too. The Flyer defense could just not control them in either of the first two games. Yesterday we managed to hustle down some pucks in corners but the neutral zone was still getting ruts cut into it from the Sabres getting up ice in a hurry. Chico played well again, 28 stops with about a third of those coming against the powerplay.

That was another huge issue in the first couple of games, when you get outworked, you draw penalties and put Buffalo's two strong PP units on the ice. It didnt kill the Flyers, I think Buffalo was only 3-for-21, but still, that is a lot of even strength time to lose and pressure to put on the goaltender. There were some bullshit calls, but most of them were legit.


>I haven't seen the Flyers enough to comment on who should be
>playing with each other in this series.....but adjustments
>obviously need to be made.

Nedved was back to the dumbshit I knew and hated for years yesterday. They have been playing a forward on the point for power plays, at least that gets the D a little rest. Meyer is a midget and Handzus is falling apart physically, other than the first line they are the only guys I see hustling. Forsberg showed that he is the real captain yesterday, he was charged up from the get-go. He took a timely penalty in the first period (certainly could have backfired with a 0-1 deficit, but turned out great), he got into a little skirmish and scored two goals down low.

>Desjardins refuses to go away. I could see him on the team
>next year.

He'd have to play for the minimum or close to it, he made about $2M this year and is a UFA now.

>Why is Therien here anyway? He's the poster child for
>Clarkie's recycling of mediocre players.

He was here for an eternity but he'll be gone again with Gauthier and Meyer getting contracts. Hopefully Johnsson's injury doesnt bode well for his negociations so he signs and Clarke has money for another D. Someone who can actually put the puck in the net on the second line would be nice but I bet we see some cheesy veteran center come in to play with Carter and Umberger (though I think Carter could be a 35-goal guy next year).

I dunno, I havent abandoned this year. I still think Carolina will pull it out so we will probably face Ottawa who I think can be beaten.


And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Failing to score on a 5 on 3, and THEN giving up the shorty with :05 seconds left in the quarter = one of the most embarrassing sequences I've EVER seen.

THAT, my friends, was an UMBERGER'ING of the Rangers season. Have a nice summer, Jagr and Co.

Damn, the historical problems for 2 seeds continue with both of them going down 2-0. That was what it's all about last night, first for Dallas to rally from a 3-goal deficit to take the lead and then for your boys to have a defenseman score on a shorthanded rush to send it to OT.

I still think this series is winnable for Dallas but I wouldnt mind seeing them upset one bit. What do you think about playing Detroit or Calgary in the second round?

In response to Reply # 131


  

          

I was only hoping for a split but they came away with more. If last night's game was an indication of things to come, I expect the Avs to take the next two games at home. They've been able to overcome scoring flurries by the Stars, locking down and making plays down the stretch.

I'm surprised that people haven't called out Turco for his lackluster play in the postseason. It would take a huge effort from him to tie up the series.

I really don't care who they face in the next round. Either way, it won't be easy. Win big or go home.

155. "Patrick Marleau = THE CAPTAIN OF THE SJ SHARKS"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

That was fucking TEXTBOOK captain play from Patrick Marleau. Come home, feed off the crowd, and be the BEST PLAYER in the entire contest. Thinking about Cheechoo and Thornton, I'd forgotten what an incredible player this guy is. There is not a single other player on the roster who deserves the slightest consideration for the C, which is a great feeling as a fan. It used to be Owen Nolan, the unquestionable on-ice leader, but Marleau obviously took notes like he was supposed to and he's everything you want from your team's leader.

Plus: Toskala personally erased at least two goals by my count, which is EXACTLY what a playoff goalie needs to do. If your goalie is not personally erasing at least a few goals a series, you can forget about really advancing in the playoffs. Also, 4-1 doesn't even really indicate the flow of play; SJ was absolutely dominating this game from beginning to end, with only a few moments of defensive-minded hesitance.

All in all, a beautiful home win, everything I could realistically hope and expect. Thornton and Cheechoo STILL have yet to figure prominently in a game, so as long as Marleau and Smith and Niiminen and Eerhoff are doing their thing, I'll be feeling good about the team.

LET'S GO SJ SHARKS!!!

In response to Reply # 155


  

          

No doubt about it -- if SJ isn't #1, it's still guaranteed top 3. GUARANTEED TOP 3 best home fans in the NHL.

Also, the CGY and TOR fans will actually boo their team when they're fucking up, whereas that's only a recent and half-assed phenomena in SJ. We actually had a string of 100 straight sell-outs during some of the absolute darkest years of the franchise (Al Simms, anyone?) and the fans are damn quick to reward good play. San Jose is a major league city (10th largest in the entire US) that has only ONE major league team, and the locals fucking SUPPORT it.

With Calgary probably being the first choice, and Montreal being the second. I would have mentioned the Montreal stadium, but the fans their are stingy as fuck. They KNOW the game and they ONLY cheer when their team is doing right. If the team is fucking up, they LET THEM KNOW.

In response to Reply # 179


  

          

And the fans are nuts. Most players say it is the biggest home ice advantage in the league, at least in what I have read.

European soccer is pretty cool, I guess, I am not a soccer fan but I've been to a few stadiums (Stockholm, Eindhoven, Amsterdam) and caught a couple of games (Barca, Madrid). I got to see some stars do their thing both times (Beckham to Ronaldo, Ronaldinho a goal and a helper) but I cant say I was overly impressed. The fans were pretty spirited although there was a lot of rich Eurotrash near the pitch (50 euro for second row seats, top that, NFL!)

Dammit. I hope Koivu is ok. Did the ref just not see it? Or is it just not called because it's an accidental high stick?

We gotta focus on Game 4 now and not lose our composure.

I think I will hold onto my money and go to game 6, assuming there is one.

You know Carlos, had you gotten tickets for Friday's game, you could've gotten painted orange in the parking lot -- the Flyers are sponsoring face painters as well as the orange crush t-shirts.

Whatever though. At least you'll get to watch the game with beer. I'll be listening to it on WIP as I try to finish my last paper of my law school career while simultaneously studying for two exams. Though, it's not like I'm gonna be valedvictorian of my law school class...maybe I should drink while studying...hmmm.

He hasn't done that in this series at all. Every time they've given him the lead, he's done nothing but squander it.

The Avs got a good cycle going early in OT and kept it going while changing on the fly. Outnumbered? Nah. They got outworked on the boards.

In response to Reply # 168


  

          

Didn't Dallas lead the league in shoot-out wins, cuz they went and recruited a line of guys to earn those extra 2 points in the case of ties? Well, now it's showing that they didn't deserve that 2nd place seeding at all, because their standing is bullshit and inflated.

It's not just the goalie, they look like one of the worst teams I've watched in this years playoffs (minus the Rangers, I guess). Admittedly, I still can't figure how the Avalanche came in 7th, but I think pretty much every team in the WC would be giving Dallas the business right now.

I think they did. That Jokinen kid, I hate that muhfucka, was 5-5 on shootouts at one point. I don't like the shootout but then again, I don't like ties either.

Still, Turco was great in the regular season. He's always been great in the regular season. He's had to stand on his head a few times in the regular season because of their weak defense. They addressed that at the deadline acquiring Niinimaa, and Mitchell but they haven't been able to stop Sakic's line. Guerin and Arnott haven't played well. They haven't established their physical play at all in this series.

The thing is, Dallas could've won any of those three games. Game 1, they blew a two-goal lead. Game 2, they were leading 4-3 late in the game and Turco gives up a shortie. Game 3, again, they take the lead and Turco fails to hold on. Morrow's penalty didn't help the cause in preserving the lead. They haven't looked good at all and Turco has been a big part of that.

As far as, the Avs finishing 7th, they played in a tough Northwest division. Top to bottom, it was the toughest division in the league. It's not an excuse, the Avs had a mediocre season and their seeding proves it.

172. "I think it says a lot about the Stars' overrated defense"
In response to Reply # 168


  

          

Their best defensive players are two forwards and Zubov who has played *better* on D but still is more known for his supersmooth puckhandling than anything. Their PK has sucked in this series, I dont know if that's been a problem all year. I dont see Turco giving up the leads as much as his team although he has not bailed them out either, which you might expect from a guy with a check that size.

He does a lot of things well, I mean he is a solid puckhandler, he positions himself well and he sees the play. But I dont see him as a guy that will put you on his back and carry you to the finals, that is why I thought Dallas was going out in the second round, now it looks like much sooner.

It will be interesting to see the Avs against Calgary (assuming they can hang on against Anaheim). All this shotblocking they have been doing is impressive but Calgary has been doing their damage down low; Phaneuf is their deep threat and he hasnt been doing shit.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

174. "Their defense has been weak all season."
In response to Reply # 172
Thu Apr-27-06 11:10 AM by Silologistix

  

          

Like I said in post #170, they've had to get guys like Niinimaa and Mitchell but those guys ain't helping them in this series. Their defensive core is nowhere near like that of Hatcher, Matvichuck and Sydor; they used to wipe the front of the net clean for Belfour and Turco.

Turco has bailed them out all season. You and I both agree that he hasn't done that in this series at all.

It doesn't excuse his teammates from the blame though especially guys like Guerin and Arnott. Those two guys haven't done squat.

175. "Just been a bad showing"
In response to Reply # 174


  

          

Bad as you said they could have won each of the three games; I think they probably should have won the last two but Colorado has been willing to take chances on the rush and they have been totally unprepared in some big spots.

Hopefully Edmonton can pull it off and we see a crazy-ass re-seed with Calgary playing Edmonton and Colorado squaring off against San Jose. Those would both be great series IMO. Cant complain about Wings-Avs and Flames-Sharks either though.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

190. "Edmonton lacked the puck control they had in game 3"
In response to Reply # 189


  

          

total lack of discipline, too.

legace was pretty wobbly back there, nice game from the Detroit defense. they had more glide in their stride out there. Pronger played like 40 minutes (or so it seemed) and Edmonton was just get blown by with their penalty killers climbing over the boards all night.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Fri Apr-28-06 12:27 AM by ConcreteCharlie

  

          

between game 3 and 4; Edmonton was outskating and outworking Detroit, now the tables turned. I think they rode Peca and Pronger a little too much; they have played great and tonight was no exception but no one else got into a rhythm. The guys who normally stir up the offense at even strength are not PK guys (Samsonov, Hemsky not since midseason) so they really did not get much ice time. Smyth played well but he couldnt really get set up for a solid deflection where they managed to hit the net, too. He is better as a setup man where he can dish it and go to the net, which also means they need their offensive-minded forwards out there. Good game from Detroit but I dont think they have swung the series, they have looked too vulnerable thus far to think it's not going the distance.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

202. "RE: i dont think they think they have all the momentum"
In response to Reply # 194


  

          

I dont think either team has the momentum right now. Coming out of game 3, I'd say Edmonton had it but they squandered it yesterday by taking a bunch of dumbass penalties.

Outshooting is not that big of a deal, you outshot them huge in game 1 but look how close the game was. Lots of shitty chances and bad angle shots in that game. I dont know what the shot numbers were from the two losses but if they favored Detroit it did not help. I bet in game 3 Edmonton had the advantage in puck possession, they made a lot out of every trip into the zone by scrapping and making nice passes.

Like I said before the series started, these teams are pretty evenly matched despite the seeding. Edmonton has something going on IMO, they could be a team to be reckoned with next year considering that they have some money to spend and some good young players. Samsonov and Roloson will probably stay and they could afford to add a D at least.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

195. "PATRICK MARLEAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Hells yes! The captain of the Sharks comes through AGAIN.

Fun fact they showed in the Sharks broadcast tonight, here, I'll see if you guys can guess it ... who has the most post-season goals since the 2004 playoffs?

That's RIGHT! It's Patrick Marleau, who's currently tied with Jarome Iginla, Richards, St. Louis and maybe one other guy with 14 goals, only he did it in about 5 or 6 LESS games than anybody else with 14. Basically, he has been THE most prolific post-season goal-scorer since 2004. That's our fucking CAPTAIN y'all.

Also, I'm not going to bother to look at the post #, but I opened the Sharks game commentary up with a post about Mark Smith, and that bad boy netted his 3rd goal of the post-season tonight. Mark Smith, 4th line center, all-purpose, PK, energy guy has 3 goals in 4 games. The team damn BETTER be up 3-1 when they're getting that effort from their 4th liner. Oh yeah, he also got a NICE cheap shot in on Paul Kariya as time was expiring. Paul went bitching to the ref about it, because he got popped a good cheap one to the back of the head by Mark Smith, and I just fucking laughed. Welcome to the playoffs, you fucking softie. Mark Smith knows what time of the year it is.

Oh yeah, check the replay for the 5th goal, Marleau's 3rd if you can. You have to see the whole thing, it's one of the most beautiful pieces of hockey action I've seen in some time. It begins with McLaren POPPIING a guy trying to take the puck in the zone, upon which Berniere picks it up and starts trucking blue-line to blue-line. Patrick, the Captain, then gets ON HIS FUCKING HORSE and BURNS whoever thought they could keep pace with him in the space of the neutral zone. He starts about 2 strides behind and finishes 2 strides ahead by the time he catches the pass from Berniere to slide the puck in the net. God it was gorgeous -- big hit to full-length goal-scoring rush. If I was at the game, I would have been losing my damn mind. It was incredible.

So anyway, the second season has begun and the signs are positive.

197. "Tortorella didn't just *throw* Grahame under the bus..."
In response to Reply # 0


          

He fucking dropkicked him into the front wheels:

tsn.ca swipe

- "Three goals on four shots. I'm getting tired of the 25 per cent rule. It's deflating."

- "A save would be nice."

Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella's rip job on goaltender John Grahame after the Lightning lost to Ottawa in Game 4 Thursday was so raw, so mean-spirited, that the other Tampa bay players might be thinking, "Whoa, I might be the next guy who gets thrown under the bus."

Tortorella and Tampa Bay general manager Jay Feaster actually think this can be a rallying cry for the rest team. Yes, they've thrown Grahame under the team bus, but they've also noted that the Lightning think they have been close to the Senators in terms of generating scoring chances, but they are not close on the scoreboard - and therefore trail in the series.

Yes, they are blaming their goaltender. Well, maybe some of the players in the dressing room are also blaming the goaltender.

I wondered if Feaster might be a little bit put out that Tortorella went a little bit over the top. In fact, his reaction was quite the opposite. Feaster thought that Tortorella was actually more compassionate on Thursday than he was back in December, when he really gave it to Grahame.

Feaster noted that passion came through when Tortorella said, "Well, Johnny's trying really hard."

One that that is certainly clear - Grahame is done with the Lightning. The last question of Tortorella's post-game news conference was if Sean Burke would start in Game 5.

"Your damn right he is," Tortorella responded.

Not only is Burke getting the next start, Grahame is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year and won't be back.



Ouch.

It would be nice to have the Bulin Wall right now, huh? Why splurge on a replacable player with no size when you NEED a goalie? Fuck those faggots, there isnt a franchise I hate more right now. At least New Jersey's system is effective and respectable. Every year TB lucks out with injuries and the one year they finally get their personnel right, they fuck it up. They could have kept both Bulin and Stillman and they'd be a much better team right now. Tortorella looks some cat on the cast of "Thirty Something," doesnt he?

have been going so far in this series. I seriously doubt that the Canes will lose at home again. Also, I'm pretty sure that the Canes have a winning record In Raleigh and in Montreal this season.

(and Habs is a fucking stupid name for a team named the Montreal Canadians, I don't get it)

The only thing that is shaky is how they are going to work their goaltending; will they use a combo like they did with Irbe and Weekes two centuries ago when anyone last heard from them or stick with Ward?

I think a platoon is preferable but Martin Carebear has looked like shit so far. He can turn it around though, he stood on his head on several occasions this year for them and Switzerland a couple of times even (a real accomplishment, who were those guys???)

224. "Wikipedia.org, son"
In response to Reply # 213


  

          

In 1924, Madison Square Garden owner Tex Rickard was falsely told by someone that the "H" in the logo of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team stood for "habitant", a French word that in those days was used to denote the farmers of Quebec. Rickard was told that the French players on the team came from the farms and that they were therefore "habitants" or "habs".

The logo actually denotes "Le Club de Hockey Canadien".

And forget the regular season, CAROLINA'S GOING DOWN IN THE 5TH AND 6TH! BRRRAP!

Dallas getting bounced early I have mixed feelings about (even though they are also overrated) but these guys can get the hell on; I cant think of a less likable team out there. Something just rubs me the wrong way about all of these guys except Zetterberg. I honestly think that there are five better teams in the league; it was nice to play in that division this year with suck-ass teams being in the majority.

In response to Reply # 214


  

          

I didn't see the game, but I saw the score sheet -- a goal and two assists. That's some serious play. All I remember from Chris Pronger is the SJ fans and the Sharks with some aggressive play getting in his head when it was STL (1) v. SJ (8), the Sharks going on for the upset. That was maybe his best year in the league, but the Sharks and their fans took him apart that post-season.

He's got so much talent, I can never completely figure out why he doesn't dominate like this all the time. You know, that Shanny for Pronger deal, a veritable disaster when it first happened, looks kind of even at this point (even if St. Louis doesn't have him anymore). If my team needed a defenseman, I wouldn't blink about sending Shanny for Pronger.

In response to Reply # 220


  

          

He has been HUGE in every game for them, playing in the highs 20s in minutes. The other night he was on the ice for 28 minutes and at least half of it was killing penalties. That dude has been the truth this year, if he wasnt stuck up in Edmonton he would get way more pub for the Norris. Today three assists just solidified it. I mean Marleau and Foppa have both been great but if I had to pick one skater that has controlled a series it would be Pronger.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 221


  

          

Detroit came in the President's winners, and the first-time in the playoffs ever Sharks, coming off the season where they set the NHL record for losses (71, which is a LOT), proceed to dump the Wings in 7, the final one coming in Detroit. God it was beautiful.

That was Osgood's first playoffs, too. Has he really fallen that far that he is a back-up at this stage? That's surprising to me.

Also, all these points totals are inflated nowadays, with the guaranteed 1 point for OT and bigger shot at winning with the 4v4. It's just not possible to compare records from this era to previous ones. Every standings list after the 4v4 should have an * next to it.

Not only is Osgood a backup, he isnt even a very good one. Legace has the worst talent-to-stats ratio in the business IMO and they wouldnt dream of putting Ozzie in for the playoffs unless the wheels fell off. He even played poorly in their win in game 4 IMO, if Edmonton stays out of the penalty box even a little bit they win that game by throwing a few more pucks at him.

Osgood wont be back next year. They need to make a lot of decisions. Obviously they will pay Lidstrom but Shanahan, Stevie Y, Chelios and both goalies are also UFAs; I guess Stevie Y is retiring, I dunno about Chelly.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In response to Reply # 228


  

          

hopefully Straka and Rucinsky dont get big heads and demand a bunch of money; they are both FAs. They need to keep those guys, get rid of their garbage rentals from Anaheim and get some depth on this team. I think they need a number one D and a number two center for sure, then fill in what they can with the money they might have left.

they just folded at the end, had to play at too high of a level and depend too heavily on one guy for too long.

I missed Game 4. Lookin' at the boxscore, the Stars had 39 shots, more takeaways, and dominated the faceoff circle. I expected them to make an adjustment after Game 3.

That shit ain't gonna happen today. I hope. I don't see them going 0-12 in the PP again.

Come on, boys. Wrap this up.

The Sabrays looked good up and down today -- and we looked like we didn't want to be there. We gave Chico absolutely no help, Desjardins looked like ass, and we couldn't test Miller at all. The Sabres played aggessive hockey and it paid off for them.

That Connolly goal was a disgrace...you learn in mites that you don't just skate backwards in the zone when a guys skating in like that -- you put a body on him. Disgusting.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Guaranteed the only teams we won't see is DAL or DET, but we could see any other in the WC. I'm a little disappointed we won't see DET next round, as I was ready to pop some shit and I really think SJ could take those soft little fuckers.

I'll admit the team I least want to see is CGY, maybe just because I hate rooting against Darryl Sutter and Jarome Iginla. Aside from that, though, it would be a good way to start building a rivalry, with a tough 7 game series in the last WCF. If this series went deep, I bet some bad blood would start circulating with some of the guys, and that always makes for the best hockey.

Playing ANA would be lame as shit. I hate the Ducks, and if we lost the series I'd wanna commit hari kari on the spot.

I don't like COL, they've eliminated us too many times for me to like that match-up. Theodore is bad and Sakic and Hejduk are always scary. Rob Blake is amazing and they're just a tough squad. I wouldn't look at them as 7 seeds for one second.

If we got EDM, the least likely, I'd feel probably best of all. 8 seeds usually blow their load after a first round upset, and the Sharks are way too confident and together right now for a team to sneak up on them.

Anyway, Marleau, Smith, and Vesa are the stars of the first round. Mark Smith has actually stolen Nils Ekman spot on the Thornton line (thank god, and he deserves it). I don't know if Ekman got 5 minutes of ice-time in the last game, that dude sucks. I've been sleeping on the team and I didn't realize what a beast Vesa is (his style is erratic at first glance, but impressive over time). Plus, McLaren is playing some of the best hockey I've ever seen him play. I think he's really a big-game player, which is dope. So anyway, the Sharks look good in the 2nd round no matter who we face.

Delayed offsides and he goes and checks the dude. That's just not something you pull.

I'm pretty impressed at how little the Calgary physicality and intimidation seems to be working on the Ducks. Beauchemin vs. Iginla would seem to be a mismatch, but Beauchemin had to let up for a sec to get Iggy back on his feet after he trucked him.

Game 7's gonna be completely insane. That'll be a fun one.

I think Iginla's gonna score at least one, and kinda carry the Flames to the next round. I wouldn't be surprised if Niedermayer does the same though.

We're out. Can't really complain. The loss of Koivu and the emergence of Cam Ward sealed our fate. At least we put up a fight. Each loss was pretty close.

But I have to say, Cam Ward's IMPRESSIVE. And a humble dude at that. During a post-game interview (game 4) he said he was honored to make his playoffs debut in Montreal, and the atmosphere here gave him goosebumps. Lockers in the lockerrooms be shaking before the games and during intermissions due to the crowd's cheering over here. In Carolina, the crowd doesnt even know when to cheer and when to boo, they don't know how the game is played. Disgusting. They have a hard time selling out the arena in the postseason: serious L right there.

It's Brodeur VS Ward now, haha!

In response to Reply # 266


          

of a broken stick. Seriously. In game 3 Bonk gave his stick to Sourray while killing a penalty, the puck went back to the point and Staal slapped in the o.t. winner. Simple as that (almost?) Tough goal to go out on though as both goalies were playing incredibly well. A deflection off Rivet's stick from 58 feet, Huet deserved better.

The Caines are still overrated, with or without Eric "3 metre platform" Cole.

Sens vs Habs would've been nuts. Ah well. *waves bye-bye to the Sabres & Caines*

peace

In response to Reply # 264


  

          

it was a fast team versus a slow team. if we matched up against new jersey i think we still would have lost but kept them in front of us and made it more of a series despite them being a better team.

a big thing was that the second line was non-existent, kapanen and handzus moved off of it for most of the series bc of injuries mostly and nedved is the biggest fucking retard on earth. i swear i would body him if i saw him; he took more penalties in the offensive zone than anyone in the entire goddamn playoffs and handled the puck like a greasy slinky.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

In the west, seeds 5-8 move on. Out east, seeds 1-4 move on.

East
1. Ottawa vs. 4. Buffalo
2. Carolina vs. 3. NJ

West
5. San Jose vs. 8. Edmonton
6. Anaheim vs. 7. Colorado

I'm looking forward to the 2 series in the west.

>West
>5. San Jose vs. 8. Edmonton

Plus, SJ has some history with Pronger. We hate that dude. We'll see exactly what kind of fans are coming to the games nowadays, because if it's the same ones from a few years ago they're going to be booing loud as fuck EVERY time Pronger touches the puck, and cheering loud as hell EVERY time someone hits him in the slightest. Back when he was with STL, he would get noticeably rattled in SJ following his Norris / Hart year, but who knows if he hasn't toughened up since then.

Otherwise, with Marleau being the best player on the ice, that means there's two solid lines for EDM to contend with, and they won't just be able to throw Pronger at Cheechoo and Thornton and call it a game. Plus, Vesa doesn't as shaky as Legace.

I don't really know who their forwards are, but considering how we handled Kariya in the last round, I'm not sweating about it too much. Frankly I'm MUCH happier about this match-up than a SJ v. CGY one. This is the first time the two teams have ever met in the post-season, though, so that's a little disappointing.

In response to Reply # 272


  

          

a *gasp* "Sutter Team" *waits for the beams of light and harp sounds to stop*

That was pretty impressive last night, they just completely controlled shit. That late hit in Game 6 seemed to fuel the Ducks, while the Flames just looked bad. They really ned to get a top-line center in there for Iggy. As good as he is, he's not the kind of player who can take over offensively on his own. You get a good set up man playing with Iggy, and the Flames may actually see the red light flashing above someone other than Mikka.

But Sutter's kind of an asshole (and he seems to despise college hockey), so fuck him, good to see them lose.

Next round, I'm looking for Buffalo over Ottawa, Carolina over the Devils, San Jose over Edmonton and Anaheim over Colorado.

San Jose vs. Buffalo Stanley Cup matchup (at least those are the results I'm hoping for).

I'll talk my shit one series at a time.

The Sharks ARE hot, though. Patrick was a different player last series, and a lot of role guys stepped up JUST like they needed to. So I think they'll be okay in this series with EDM, but then again, they did just knock-off DET in 6. I'm hoping we don't see much OT, because that shit is nerve-wracking, and there's NO reason we shouldn't be able to finish games in regulation.

I will say that I got Jersey in the East, though.

That's right, you've heard it here first: SJ = The People's Team.

Ain't no right-minded person in the world is going to cheer for Chris Pronger over Jonathan Cheechoo. None. Pronger is a goon and a villain, and Cheech is the hero from the heart-land, playing for Cree pride, living the dream, and doing it all with what appear to be the fundamentals of a college hockey third-liner.

Now y ou've heard this here first, too: Cheechoo for President. He can come out in favor of invading Japan and he'd still get my vote.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Francis is still a Penguin in my mind, how do they get off retiring his number? And how they gonna retire when he only played 6 years for that franchise?

And yeah, diving is a BIG BIG BIG problem. They need a LOT more 2 minute diving minors.

In response to Reply # 304


  

          

They showed his number and then a little bar on the bottom that said "Carolina Hurricanes -- 1998-2004" so I just thought they hung it up because he was the new franchise's first captain.

Still, as far as I'm concerned, his best years were CLEARLY in Pittsburgh. Hartford/Carolina has no business hanging ANYBODY's number up in the rafters at this point.

but the real stupid shit is that Hartford retired his number and they don't even have a team anymore. They just had a big ass serimony and raised his jersey into the rafters of an area that has no team.

I didn't need an OT game tonight. I didn't need it at all. And they've hit TWO critical posts, one missing a 3-1 lead, and one missing the 3-2 lead with about 2:30 to play.

Also, the officiating is wretched. They need to go back to one ref, and they need to let players fight more, and they need to call dives, and they need more consistency. It's bad.

309. "Bettman better FIRE these officials, that is unless..."
In response to Reply # 308


  

          

they don't CHOKE TO DEATH on their whistles anyway, because they swallowed them shits HARD. It's official, the officiating revolution has DIED in the second round. I counted THREE, EASY, OBVIOUS, NO-BRAINER calls that, according to league BULLSHIT is supposed to be called. If these officials aren't straight-up FIRED, I'm going to just keep on calling Gary Bettman the piece of shit that he is. Gary Bettman is very potentially the worst thing that has ever happened to the NHL, and we need a NEW commish NEXT SEASON.

Damn man, this is reminding me why I stopped watching the game before. Mad stick work, hella screening and interference, lots of chippy play because fighting is so discouraged that nobody can stick up for themselves, horrendous, inconsistent officiating. It's bad man, it's bad.

lots of sens fans wanting to see chara go after his horrible playoff performance. but there is tons of crazy talk right after the series loss, so who nows what anyone really wants.

In response to Reply # 314


  

          

But everything's all fucked up now since that goon Chara choked in the playoffs. I figured Ottawa couldn't let a guy as huge and talented as Chara walk, and now I wonder if Redden's the guy they'll fight to hold on to. They definitely can't keep both. If the Leafs don't sign the odd man out, Ferguson should start cleaning out his office.

322. "Dear Sharks fans"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I have been tacitly cheering for the Sharks in these playoffs because I like their Canadian content (Marleau, the Thorntons, former Leaf favourity Alyn McCauley, Cheechoo, Hannan, etc). Obviously I am not cheering for the Sharks since their fans booed my country's national anthem. But my feelings aside, how retarded is it to boo the national anthem of basically every offensive star on your team before the game? Did it not cross anyone's mind that some of the guys on the ice might not dig you booing O Canada?

And I thought we were cool with northern California.

No need for it, and it was completely idiotic.

But it's not like Canadian fans have never done it to the US national anthem, so Canucks should save the self-righteousness.

In response to Reply # 326


  

          

Whole lot of different elements were involved in that (Quebec is as anti-American as anywhere in the U.S., it was around the time of the Iraq invasion, etc). Both sides were clearly in the wrong for it though. This, on the other hand, was just kinda out of nowhere. I'm not really indignant about it, I just see it as the douchebaggery it is. However, I think it's a ridiculous thing to do when your team is predominantly Canadian.

329. "Dear Canadians -- SJ is full of yahoos"
In response to Reply # 322


  

          

Actually, if you look at a map, it's pretty much the lowest point of Northern California, meaning that it's not really that much like the popular image of what Northern California is. Yeah, we got right wing yahoos all up in the spot, and I think it was in retaliation to the EDM booing.

Also, goddamn the fucking Sharks giving me heart attacks over the weekend. I had forgotten how much I love good hockey, and I've also forgotten how mad I get when a good Sharks team loses. I'm thinking I like the team better when they're just underdogs, so I can take pride in the victories and lose little sleep over the losses.

Either way, I'm pissed at this SJ team right now. Pissed.

I don't know why Clement would take part in such a lackluster hockey coverage. Why would you even lump yourself with an idiot like Ed Olczyk and a knucklehead like Keith Jones? Brian Engblom, I can deal with but as a team, they're just horrible.

The biggest tragedy has to be Neil Smith and John Davidson finding their way into the announcer's box. Those two should be nowhere near a hockey arena.

2. Carolina vs. 8. Edmonton

Nothing will be surprising here but I got Edmonton in 6.
