aricandover Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I hate the Flyers almost as much as I hate the Ravens. grr, angry. the Pens seemed very lax tonight, hardly trying anything. it would've been nice for them to win this series at home, but a win Saturday will feel just as good. I don't want to see this go to seven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Congrats to the Bs. I would be very happy to see an O6 final: Wings and Bruins. Hopefully the Campbell Conference final will also be O6: Blackhawks and Wings. Maybe the Rangers can stick around long enough to make the Prince of Wales conference final O6 as well.I know I'm being a homer but don't count out the Canucks in the Western Conference. I've never believed in a Nucks team like this before. Anyone have favorite hockey writers/blogs they'd like to promote? I usually peruse the detnews.com and the freep.com, but for general news, I always turn to thehockeynews.com And for the record, I can't stand John Buccigross from ESPN.Not a blog, but hfboards.com is a really good resource. It's pretty civil for a hockey board. Course it's nowhere near as awesome as Via Chicago. This place is the bomb. For breaking news tsn.ca is the place I go. It's Canada's ESPN so it's 99.5% hockey. I can tell you where not to go: Eklund. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Dammit, when do the Wings start up again. I'm already going through withdrawal. Caps/Rangers is going to go to 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's already felt like a life time and I'll still have to wait another week How do you feel about your Wings potentially going up against the mighty Ducks?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wings crash the net enough to be too worried about a hot goaltender. Holmstrom and Franzen like to park in front of the goal. It's hard to keep the pucks out with those two blocking your view... Osgood always makes things interesting though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Long Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm pulling for the Ducks. Jumbo Joe is once again pulling a Thornton come playoff time. Sure, game 5 showed he can be productive, but I'm still not impressed. The Rangers are falling apart faster than expected. The Caps will win game 7. As for the Devils, I've got a feeling the Hurricanes may just pull the upset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always hear his name thrown in when discussing top 5 goalies, but he's never won a big game/series. He's completely a non-factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always hear his name thrown in when discussing top 5 goalies, but he's never won a big game/series. He's completely a non-factor.he was pretty solid in 03-04 when they lost in the WC finals to Calgary - 3 shutouts and GAA under 2. stole a couple of big games earlier in his career as I recall. but yeah - in recent years, he's been just ok in the playoffs. Can't think of a time in the last 3+ seasons where I'd say he single-handedly won a playoff game for the sharks. speaking of which - predictions for tonight? I think we'll know within the first 5 mins. If SJ comes out hitting like they did in games 3 & 5, then I think they have a good shot at it. But if they come out timid and trying to be too precise with their game, Anaheim will wear them down and take it. One thing's for sure, the Ducks are going to pull out all the stops tonight - there's no way they want to return to SJ for game 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well, the Rangers will succeed or fail pretty much solely based on Lundqvist's awesomeness. If he can come up with another SICK game, then we're off to battle the Bruins in another N.Y.-Boston antagonism fest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Out of all the under performing Sharks, I've been most unimpressed with Nabokov. The Sharks have out shot the Ducks but he's being out goaltended by a young goalie from Europe. I don't know why Thornton gets all the blame and Marleau gets none, Marleau is the captain after all. Predictions:Hawks will win.Devils will win.Capitals will winDucks will win. Got an e-mail from NHL.com today saying they have free customization on all jerseys today only... if anyone is interested.

trevor Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 So, the Nucks vs the Hawks. Should be a plenty entertaining series, if their final game during their regular season matchup is any indication. Plus, you've two got goalies who are very hot right now, and a couple squads whose special teams play was a huge factor during the first round. Both squads are pretty healthy too. Gonna be a gritty, high-energy series, but as long as Vancouver can find some measure of discipline and stay out of the box, I think they've got a great shot. Not to mention home ice advantage... Canucks in 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Suck it, Keenan!Indeed. I would very much like to see a Hawks/Wings conference final. I'm pretty sure it would be the first time they've met in the playoffs since 95, which was also a conference final. I would also like to extend the invitation to suck it to Claude Lemieux. But I'm most happy that JR's name will never be on the Cup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
