Lynch Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 man, my Bruins finally make it into the playoffs and we get Montreal.lost every game to them this year, well, we got 1 point from an SO loss. we got nothing to lose, so let's go get'em boys ! B's in 7I would kinda like it if the B's beat the Habs. I work with WAY too many gloating Habs fans right now, and I have always kinda liked the Bruins, especially back in the Neely/Bourque days.

So Long Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 See, I'm not gonna say I'm skeptical of the NHL...but the Bruins losing to the Habs every game this year and then beating them in the playoffs would make a better Sports Illustrated DVD...and a lot of money would be made if the underdogs won. also, Halycon...are the Canuck's golf clubs in use yet...or too soon? (sorry, I had to) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I work with WAY too many gloating Habs fans right now, and I have always kinda liked the Bruins, especially back in the Neely/Bourque days.Man that's exactly my reason for wanting the Avs to lose. also, Halycon...are the Canuck's golf clubs in use yet...or too soon? (sorry, I had to)Too soon man, too soon Nah, I earned that, didn't I? But as you can see my avatar has clearly changed to a different "C". The great thing about where I live, is Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver are all pretty much the same distance away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread yet! This years playoffs are pretty unpredictable I figure but I'm going with Pittsburgh and Montreal in the east and San Jose and Detroit in the west. Both the two top seeds but I think they really are the best teams. Montreal vs. San Jose in the final. San Jose for the cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wings are too beat up and I don't believe in their goal tending. In the west I think Colorado, San Jose, Anaheim or even Calgary* could come out... the Red Wings... I dunno.*There seems to be two Calgary's, the totally awesome Calgary and the not-so awesome Calgary, if they can stay their awesome selves then I think they'll be a powerful force.

bobbob1313 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 What is the lowest seeding to make a SC final? Didn't an 8 make it a few years back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 What is the lowest seeding to make a SC final? Didn't an 8 make it a few years back?Edmonton was an 8th in 06 and did it.Aren't you forgetting someone???Nope, not forgetting no one. Just kidding. The Wild too. I think we can safely say that the only team that won't make the finals in the west is the Hamilton I mean Seattle oops I meant Winnipeg wait-- I actually meant to say Nashville Predators. What a great first day of the play offs for teams I like... 9 minutes left in the 3rd and Calgary leads San Jose 3-1. The evil Avs have beat the even more evil Wild. And Malkin + Crosby + Hossa + those other guys beat Ottawa (no surprise). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, the Wild lost, but it was a great game. Good hitting, great goaltending, and then the heartbreaker by Sakic in OT. It's shaping up to be a good series. A little surprised at Ottawa. That team is like an ECHL team without Alfredsson in the line-up. Not really showing alot of character, those Sens.

bobfrombob Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 A little surprised at Ottawa. That team is like an ECHL team without Alfredsson in the line-up. Not really showing alot of character, those Sens.This team has been playing that way since at least December. With Alfredsson in the lineup (and Fischer as well), the way they have played in 08 might have taken the Penguins to 6 - at best. Without them, they'll be lucky to win a game. This team would have been much better off missing the playoffs. Then there would be no doubt that they need a serious heart transplant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Bruins v. MON was always the set-up when we played either pond hockey or street/driveway hockey. I'll be rooting for the Bs but really, I don't think it'll be very close. Montreal is a much better team. The Avs game last night was exciting with the OT win and I'll root for COl but I don't think they stand much of a chance against MIN the rest of the series, either. Team to beat seems to be San Jose for the whole shebang, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobfrombob Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Team to beat seems to be San Jose for the whole shebang, eh?There are 4 or 5 teams in the west that can beat anybody in the east (ie Pittsburgh or Montreal). I think SJ is the team but they'll have to get by Calgary and the others.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be rooting for the Bs but really, I don't think it'll be very close. Montreal is a much better team. Same here. My cousins, all of our friends and I would be the Bruins, and the little brothers of everyone would be the Canadiens...granted, we were all under the age of 11.

TCP Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wow! What a way for the Canadiens to start their playoff run. 2-0 within the first few minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 yeah, yeah, we got back into it, but not enough fire power. game 2 is a must. Please no sweep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitty Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 This kinda sums up my feelings for this evening: I'm ecstatic to see Caps hockey in mid-April again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Great Bruins win tonight. I was at the Garden, it was incredible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You guys were pretty load, gave the Canadien fans a run for their money. Thomas was really good, if this series goes to 6 games it'll be because of him for sure.What about Calgary, getting scored on three times in the opening minutes and then coming back and winning the game? That was inspiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeglos Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 loving the playoffs so far, particularly following SJ vs CAL, OV's exploits and the Habs quite funny to think Carey Price (Habs goalie) was 4 years old when they last won the division Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Carey Price is actually from a town very close to my home town. He's a legend round these parts.Did anyone see that shit Avery pulled the other night? That pisses me off a lot. Ruins the integrity of the game. Anyways... The Canucks owner fired Dave Nonis (the GM) today. Ugh, this could be bad. I know we didn't make the playoffs this year but he's done us a lot of good, we have one of the best defensive cores in the league (that sadly didn't all get to play together this year due to injuries), got the best goalie in the league for next to something, and we have a lot of depth in prospects. Plus, in 06-07 we had more wins then in any previous season. This season wasn't our best but Nonis deserved on more year. Owners worry me... a lot. But who knows, this could be a real good thing. There will be a press conference tomorrow morning and rumours have it that my hero Trevor Linden will be there and he'll be "wearing a suit" next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 what was the deal this year with Luongo. He said it was his toughest year in hockey.Did he not get along with the coach ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
