I guess the NHL wants NY/LA in the finals. I guess I'd like to see Phoenix beat NY. Please no Devils.

 

[DopeyFish]

they've been chanting that all playoffs. lol at u

Sry I'm usually asleep by the end of the game

 

[opticalmace]

Woot, the final point of my playoff bracket. Total of 5. Bugger.

 

[ShaneB]

Great series, man. Holtlby is legit, you guys will be fine. Dump Semin this off season and build off of backstrom and Ovi.

Heh, well I'm not exactly a dedicated Caps fan, as I've stated before in the thread, I generally just pop in during the playoffs for some great hockey, and there are teams I'd like to see win.

But yeah, the Caps do have pieces to do good things in the future, so who knows.

Fuck the Devils, so I guess I'm on the Rangers bandwagon for the ECF.

As for the west, who the hell knows what will happen there.

 

[cube444]

Good series. The only positive we can see out of this is if GMGM is fired.

I am sorry but your owner is so bad that he will view this as a great season and bring your GM back for 10 more years. Plus who do they get as a GM if they fire him?

Anybody that knows what a 2C is will be better than him.

 

[talisayNon]

Johnny Malkin will lead the way

point man on our 2nd team power play baby wooo

You and I are alike now. Rangers, Diablo, yes it is complete.

 

[DopeyFish]

I guess I am cheering for the kings now

 

[richiek]

Welp, the Rangers never make it easy on themselves, but they did it. Now bring on the Devils!

 

[Filth]

You and I are alike now. Rangers, Diablo, yes it is complete.

I LOVE YOU.

 

[ShaneB]

You and I are alike now. Rangers, Diablo, yes it is complete.

Haha, I guess so.

But.. considering who is coming from the west, I'll be cheering for one of those teams in the final for their first Stanley Cup, yes, even if it is Phoenix

edit: well.. maybe. if it comes to that I just hope for an entertaining finals.

 

[Coldnoodle]

FUCK EVERYTHING!

GO DEVILS!

 

[cube444]

Anybody that knows what a 2C is will be better than him.

Haha! He will be back for 10 more seasons. I really like that Holby kid though and you guys should get rid of Semin, Shultz and Wideman.

 

[NYR]

Fuck this shit. Fuck it in the asshole. There is no conspiracy, such dumb fodder to bring it up. So lame.

The Kings deserve to be where they are at.

The Rangers deserve to be where they are at.

 

[sazabirules]

He has failed to get one for years.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I LOVE YOU.

[Killing_Joke]

FUCK YES! My mind is boggling how different the Rangers played today. If they continue to play like this i see no reason why they shouldn't go all the way.

It feels like destiny. 1. Beat a huge underdog 2. Beat a big playoff rivalry 3. Beat the Devils in the ECF.

BRING IT FUCKERS.

Yep, that's why the refs disallowed Boyle's goal. They really want NY to go to the finals.

 

[Slurmer]

Vokoun will probably go to Philly now

 

[~Kinggi~]

Devils will be tough. They gots some offense. Marty "could" be great, depending on the time of month i guess, i dont know im not 40

 

[NYR]

Just noticed how crazy it would be if the Kings and Rangers make it through:

Kings go through 1, 2 and 3 seeds.

Rangers go through 8, 7, and 6 seeds.

Kings having no trouble getting through. Rangers going to the limit. Polar opposites.

Well now you've done it. Devils win confirmed.

 

[apocalidiot]

King Henrik is

stoked

Sorry but you guys are out next round. Averaging 2.07 goals scored per game will catch up to them not to mention the 15 games they have already played and the tired defenseman because they barely play their 5th/6th guys.

 

[Marvie_3]

Chicago could use a GM that knows what a 2C is as well.

 

[Clydefrog]

I guess I am cheering for the kings now

 

[Future Foundation]

9.5m reasons per year not to. (Not including his endorsement deals)

Strangely enough not even the biggest contract in the NHL though...

Whose contract is the largest?

 

[Cagey]

Can't wait to slash the tires on that fucking bus the Rangers park in front of their goal every game. Talk about anti-hockey.

 

[MetatronM]

Chants might be even louder outside the Garden than in.

Marty chants already starting in the stairwells. HUGE We Want The Cup chants outside the main entrance.

Feels good, man.

 

[NYR]

Whose contract is the largest?

Well, it depends what you mean.

Highest paid player this year was Brad Richards.

Ovi has the largest contract value wise - 123 million dollar contract.

 

[Slurmer]

Honestly, brodeur is shakey as fuck. Generate some offense and don't let him beat your forecheck by flipping the puck out and NYR can roll. He didn't have to do anything against Philly because he kept beating them with his puck handling. Whenever they managed to get some shots, he was beaten with some weak goals.

 

[ShaneB]

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but a few days ago TSN did bring up an interesting coincidence that could happen.

A Darryl Sutter coached team, possibly beating the 1, 2 and 3 seeded team, could face a John Tortorella team, which includes Brad Richards.

Which happened in 2004 exactly.

Tampa was the 1 seed that year as well.

 

[DopeyFish]

Tampa was the 1 seed that year as well.

But Calgary wasn't the 8th seed.

A reminder of how the Devs-Rangers Series has gone and a little something to expect:

Bah, minor details!

 

[Ra\/en]

ewwww New York. .


Anyway, my predictions were better this time. I got 3/4. (darn it Nashville!)

NYR/NJD - As much as I'd like the devils to take this, I think it will be NY in 7. (The devils might take it if NY is burnt out from the last two series. )
PHX/LAK - LA in 6.

OK.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Rangers in seven
Kings in six

 

[Alucard]

Hoping for the Devils to win. There have been way too many Rangers "fans" popping up in this thread.

Kings in 5
Devils in 5

Shock and awe.

 

[zedge]

Anyone else watching the Portland, Edmonton WHL series? Some amazing hockey going on. Better than half the nhl series have been. Plus future Flame Sven Baertchi is tearing it up. Game 6 tonight.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Phoenix in 6, Devils in 6

Awe yeah baby.

 

[RC]

Whoever wins, we all lose.

Kings in 7
Rangers in 6

 

[blahness]

Phoenix in 6, Devils in 6

Awe yeah baby.

I like the way you think!

 

[Ra\/en]

yeah, i'm not really very excited about the different cup matchups.

I guess I would prefer LA/NJ. But really? who's going to watch that???

It's been a real good series. They do a good job with coverage for a local cable channel.
Sportsnet really should be covering all the CHL playoff games. Better entertainment than most of the NHL playoffs.

 

[~Kinggi~]

People say these teams arent fun to watch (i think devils and Rangers could be fun) but what excites me is the tense nature coming from great goaltending and defense. Not non-stop goals. I see that as just silly and sloppy from the team getting hammered. Or if both teams are scoring, i'd consider both teams to just be ridiculous. Good, tight hockey is what i like.

At least they'll have the Memorial Cup, that'll be fun to watch.
