i kinda hope det plays vancouver, and chi and sjs kill each other, and detroit plays a worn down chicago and hopefully somehow wins against boston or the pens...

looking at it from this standpoint it seems impossible for any team to win... but guess those guys are good whoever wins

i want det to win again but i just dont see it happening really lol..

So you picked a team that has no young talent, that has an inconsistent goaltender who exhausted himself over the regular season, that has Mike Keenan as a headcoach who only plays 4 defensemen, that hadn't scored a powerplay goal in over a month leading into the playoffs, that has had serious chemistry issues since the trade deadline, and blew a commanding lead in their division over the last month ?

You fully deserved to lose that $50 because you **** at watching hockey ...

with the way the ducks played against jose, i think it will be a good series with the motor city...

wings will take it all, anyone wanna put 25$-50$ on the ducks vs wings?

Or maybe you just don't really pay that much attention to Calgary to know about (most of) that.

I can't wait to crush the Ducks.

The Wings will eat Hiller alive. Hiller spends more time on his knees than Supa's mom.

Caps are still in it, lets see ovechkin own that little ***** *** crosby

 

[Ken448 10+ year member]

I hope the penguins make it to the finals again and get crushed AGAIN. I dont care who does it. I'm sooooo danm tired of Crosby this, Crosby that.. And Malkin.. Id PAY to see him on one knee at center ice sobbing again!

 

[newusername 10+ year member]

I have a feeling the Pens will crush the Caps. Did anyone watch the game last night? Ovechkin and Green were horrible!

Flames deserved to lose, and I think Canucks vs Blackhawks will be a good series. Canucks will do a better job controlling Chicago's scorers than Calgary did.

Wings offense and forecheck is dominating. You can score some goals on them, though, so we'll see if Hiller can make enough stops to keep the Ducks in the series. He's hot, but inexperienced and going against a truly elite team, not a bunch of fakers like the Sharks.

bruins over hurricanes in 4...any objections?

 

[Proximity 10+ year member]

^ I thought the hurricanes would get swept by the Devils.

I'll say Bruins in 6.

Yea baby. Going to be a great match up as I like both players equally although Alex probably has the upper hand being psycho (in a good way) and all.

As I've said from the beginning, gotta love the Hawks. Hopefully they can set to pace tonight in game one.

And I don't really care who wins and who doesn't or calling the series. I just like to see the sport flourish and these guys skate their ***** off. Where else in professional sports do you see this type of team-work, guts and athleticism in a championship series? Nowhere? Exactly.
