Nhl Payoff Time Once Again!!!

[cheech]

yep, it's that time of year again! Playoffs are about to start, and Atlanta's loss yesterday assured us a spot in the playoffs (us being Montreal)...

So, what's your team? Who are you rooting for? Is playoff time as exciting for you guys as it is for me?

[Gena575]

Go Blues!!! Oh wait...they are hopeless this year. So Go <anyone who is playing the Wings> :D

[cheech]

Hey penfan66 don't feel bad man. . .

that one game where you played Montreal, and Crosby completely tricked Theodore and made him look like he's never played hockey in his life, was a classic.

I never liked theodore, and I'm sure they'll keep that clip of crosby beating him for a very long time!!!

[Ems]

Stupid Lazy Canucks.... grrrrrrrrrrrr...

ALRIGHT SLAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a Whalers/Hurricanes fan since 1983.

We actually have a team that can bring back some pride to our once proud hockey team.

GO CANES!!!!!!

[cyberbeer65]

Go Red Wings!!!!

[Slappy*McFish]

Rock on, Scotto.

It looks like we'll be meeting on Friday night!!!

Scotto, What's the matter with you man??? I thought we'd be on the same side!!! ;)

[DeputyChiefJR]

Good riddance to the Whalers...pffft...hehe

[Debra Mark]

Flames, of course!!! ;)

[Lila]

Go Blues!!! Oh wait...they are hopeless this year. So Go <anyone who is playing the Wings> :D

AMEN!!!

[Slappy*McFish]

Good riddance to the Whalers...pffft...hehe
..and long live the Hurricanes. :D

[switchcats]

At this point, any Canadian team, except for the Sens... bbbtttthhhh!!! :p:

[pophead]

GO OILERS GO!!!!!
:clap:

[pbrack]

GO SENS GO!
I kinda wished the Leafs would've made the Playoffs, because we would've swept them! (It's also ironic Quinn is gone when Ferguson is probably the one to blame!)

I think this might be the year for the SENS!
Go Habs as well

[minnesotagal866]

You guys can be lucky that you are not Bruins fans. . . It has been one of the worst seasons of my life. Thorton and Samsonov gone, poor Glen Murray still can't believe it. The coach is so overmatched it's not funny. The owner is a, well I can't say it in a public forum. Tim Thomas had a 92+% save percentage and we still couldn't win. I now root for the Sharks! Cheechoo must get down on his knees every night thanking the Almighty for sending Jumbo Joe to him. I can't even discuss this rationally.

In your dreams!!! We would have kicked your butt!!

And Ferguson couldn't fire himself, now could he? So he got rid of the competition! That weasel is useless!

[cheech]

so far so good... 6-1 over the hurricanes game 1...

[Slappy*McFish]

:rolleyes:

[BettaBoy923]

Even thought the new york rangers have lost their first game in the series they are going to come back and kill the devils!!! Rangers deserve this stanley cup they havent been in the playoffs in 9 years they are well rested and raring to go.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

[Holly9937]

GO WINGS!!! My husband called me all loopy around 11 or 12 from the first game to tell me he would be late coming home b/c of double overtime :) :)

[Slappy*McFish]

6-5 double OT


:thud:

[cheech]

6-5 double OT


:thud:


Wow, what a game!!!!!! It must of hurt so much dude, cause both teams were playing so well. . . What a relief though, when Ryder put that one in during double overtime!!!

[ScottoMacD]

No worries Slappy.

There is a reason that the Canes had 52 wins and finished 1st in their divison and 2nd in the conference while the Habs had 42 and finished 7th.

This game has awoken the sleeping Giant. It may take 7 games (I say 6) but the Canes will win this series. They have way too much talent.

lol Oh c'mon!!!

[DeputyChiefJR]

Ow this is hurting...It's like we sent in Charlie Chaplin to challenge Mohammad Ali for the title (old Ali, not present day Ali)

[Lila]

My gosh! Game three, the Oilers just dominated the Wings and crushed them.

Game four, it was pretty even. Except the lousy officiating, which people in the booth (from both sides of the team) was saying was horrible.

Some of those calls were ridiculous! Even one of the penalties I saw on the Oilers was lame (I missed the whole first period).

But really, it was pathetic that the Wings had to be sure to not touch any of the Oilers, cept when it was a clean check.

And Pronger's check on Cleary was the absolute best. But that little guy got right back up and kept skating. I was impressed by both of them. Then again, I've always liked Pronger.

Lila

[cheech]

It seems like everyone's complaining about the officials.. . . And I agree with them. Quite a few bad calls have been made, and quite a few potential penalties have been missed.

Especially during such important games, it would really suck that a team loses due to bad officiating.


Hey, where did this Ward kid come out of for the Hurricanes? He stole the game from us!! If he consistantly plays the way he did on Wed. night, he'll surely be a highly respected goaler in the league!!!

[DeputyChiefJR]

We're gonna get swept by the Devils, why am I not suprised?

My husband said it would be a helluva series between these two. It certianly has been!

Today... Game four in Detroit.

[cheech]

Wow... this Ward kid is really something!!!

Carolina really got their game back .


I just hope Koivu's gonna eventually be able to play again... Oh yeah, and why exactly is Ribeiro still on the lineup?


Anyway, tomorrow's game will be pretty stressful to watch!!!

[cyberbeer65]

Welp!...The Red Wings get an early vacation :coffee:

[Lila]

I can't believe the third period! And congrats on the kicked in goal there, Oilers.

Hmmm... now who would I root for?

[impossible]

I'm a FLYERS fan,,,,but I think that the SENATORS are winning the cup this year.

[pophead]

here's one for rolo! :clap:
I only got to watch the 2nd half of the 3rd period, but I still enjoyed it!!!!
we had a nice flukish score there... :thud:

It was a good series, and the best team won. It's a good thing you guys decided to put Ward in nets, he was a HUGE addition to the team.


Congratz

[Slappy*McFish]

Thanks, Cheech. It was a tough series to watch.
Hard-hitting NJ should be quite a challenge, as well.

[ScottoMacD]

Canes in 6.

After Brodeur (which is allot) the Devils fall far off from that point.

If the goaltending stays solid we should be able to out hustle the Devils

[pbrack]

Is it just me, or is the "new" NHL boring to watch compared to the "old" NHL. Old school players must be laughing at the game now and how they call hooking, smiply if the stick touches another players mid section. I find it ridiculous!

Congrats to Edmonton, that was a fun series to watch, but it's kinda sad in a way that we may have watched Steve Yzerman's last game. He is truly one of the coolest hockey players!

[Jlui83]

And once again we'll be sitting at home!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto!!! chips and bEER!

[Slappy*McFish]

Rocked you like a Hurricane.

6-0

BTW, Happy birthday Brodeur.

[AgnesJG]

Go OIlers! I really wanted a battle of Alberta but since Calgary had to lose...
GO OILERS GO!!!!!! :dance2:

[tha cichlid man]

It's all about the ducks right here. GO DUCKS!

[NJ Devils Fan]

Ok, relax guys, the week off hurt and then losing this game was a joke and a half, but there will definitely be fight in the devils, remember, they were 19 points out of the division and won it, so anything is possible. And this was the same team a few years ago who came back from being down 3-1 to philly and won the series and then the cup. They have a huge road ahead of them and they put themselves there, but hey, don't think for a second its over. Maybe the canes should stop slamming into brodeur and attempting to injure him to win and just stick to playing the game.

[Slappy*McFish]

Ha ha! Go Canes!!!
What a game.

[shaunakadub]

Well, the B's didn't make it to the playoffs, and since Joe was traded to the Sharks, i'm rooting for them!

Otherwise, Boston all the way! heh.

[AgnesJG]

So the Oilers slayed the Sharks again, it was an awesome game! Can't wait 'til tomorrow, it should be a real good one. Hope they win so they can play the Ducks. Go Oilers Go!! :clap:

[cheech]

Yep, I think I'm goin forthe Oilers for the cup. Would be ice to see it come back to Canada!!

[pbrack]

It's been too long since the cup has come to Canada. I don't think I can take another year of not winning the cup.

[Jay-Stew]

Hey pbrack, I 'm a leafs fan, you should get used to it too!!!!!! :help:

[cheech]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ed/Edmonton_Oilers.gif/225px-Edmonton_Oilers.gif

keep the cup in Canada!!! ;)

[AgnesJG]

Oilers all the way!!! Oil are gonna slaughter the ducks , it'll be a good game. :dance:

[cheech]

What a game yesterday... Anaheim almost caught up in the end.. the oilers were finished by the end of the third. . .

[Slappy*McFish]

Buffalo handed our asses to us last night. What a game. :eek:
