NHL playoffs

[ad4mz41]

Anyone else watch Hockey? I want San Jose to win. Wat are your favorite teams that you want to win?

[Vagabond]

I'm a wings fan but they win all the time. I'd love to see a team like Tampa Bay, San Jose, or Ottawa win.

[Mut]

i'm not a big hockey fan. but i went to a king's game one time cuz my friend had luxury suite seats. it was cool as hell. went into over time and penguins won...i saw jagr (sp?). it was definitely cool.

[sangai]

yeah red wings. that is the greatest team ever.

[itachi_]

Red wings will win, non other can win, Shanahan, Hull, Yzerman, Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Holmstrom They will win stanley cup.

Edit: Three sweds that is doing a great job.

[AkimichiChouji]

Yzerman has done nothing for them, they should have started Cujo a long time ago i think Detroit will be upset...Go Nashville...Toronto is good if they got more aggressive, but come on!! I like Tampa to go far same with any Canadian Team!

[hiddenpookie]

go red wings hell yeah! my cuz is from grand rapids so i go over there and watch a red wings game.whenever i can.

[ad4mz41]

Here are the list of teams that I want to win
Detroit<Nashville Detroits too good it's always better to see the underdogs win.
St. Louis<San Jose San Jose completely sucked last year but they improved alot this year.
Vancouver&Calgary I don't really care about these two teams.
Colorado<Dallas Damn Colorado has alot of good players, not surprising if they make it to the finals.

And I don't know anything about the Eastern teams.

[bwabes]

Everyone here's all west cost. I'm from Philly, so naturally the Flyers with destroy Tampa and the rest of the east. Then they'll take out whoever's in the Stanley Cup with them.

[itachi_]

Eastern Conferance is boring, it's fact man.

[bwabes]

You're thinking of basketball.

[AkimichiChouji]

How is the eastern side boring?

2 Boston vs 7 Montreal
-They have hated each other for like 80 years of hockey now
4 Toronto vs 5 Ottawa
-THey have met like 4 out of the last 6 years in the playoffs first round
they really hate each other (look at Tucker)

[MeKa]

VANCOUVER ALL THE WAY!!!!

Vancouvers my team, and they're goin to the cup, oh ya... I like Ottawa too, as far as east coast teams go...

GO VANCOUVER!!!!

[Tofu #2]

sorry guys, but this is Calgary's year.

HELL YA! GO CANUCKS GO! VANCOUVER OWNS YOU ALL!

[ad4mz41]

YEAH San Jose beat St. Louis. The first team to be moving on to the second round. go SHARKS

[Tofu #2]

HELL YA! GO CANUCKS GO! VANCOUVER OWNS YOU ALL![/quote]

ouch...looks like calgary owned vancouver tonight...well half-owned, it was a close game.

[sangai]

redwings are gonna win it. they have one so many and have always hada great team.

can't wait to see the the final games.

[itachi_]

Pacific Division is BS

Those teams shouldn't be in the NHL, simply becasue it's desert and like 80 degrees+ all year...

Hockey should be played where it get's kinda winter, snow etc...

[Lego]

me and swimming_bird in the main channel are huge Av's fans.

Go avalanche

[MeKa]

Vancouver has to win this next one, if they dont make it to the 2nd round at least, Im gonna rage...

On another note, the Western Division is looked upon, at having more high skilled teams than the East...

Sure the East has Ottawa, Toronto, New Jersey, Boston... but think about it, Colorado, Dallas, Detroit, Vancouver, hell theres even apossibility of throwing San Jose in there, or St. Louis during a regular season...

Now if I were to pick who would win on a regular day between any 4 of the east teams vs any 4 of the west teams, Im pretty sure one of the western teams would win....

[bwabes]

Um, you forgot the Flyers, who are handing the Devils their heads in the first round. Basically, the divisions are about equal. You can throw lots of ideological crap into your arguments, but there's not facts there.

[sangai]

i would go for the coyotes becuase they are my hometeam. but since i have always been a redwings fan i will remain one.

the new coyotes areana is badass.

[njdevs95]

Devils are my team but unless they can come back against philly like they did in 2000 it looks like their season is about over, kind of expected it without stevens in there though and they didn't really add anyone to fill in for stevens in a physical role. I kind of think that toronto has a real shot this year from the east as does philly. Out west I'm expecting it to be between colorado and detroit.

[ad4mz41]

Looks like Colorado, Detroit, Tampa Bay, and Philly eliminated their opponents, all of them 4 games to 1(except Detroit).

[LaiLiuHa]

Go Flames Go!

3rd OT , the tension!

[ad4mz41]

Haha Calgary lost to Vancouver, triple OT 5-4.

[Lego]

wewt go red wings and avs

[sangai]

wait you can't be and av's fan and a wings fan there enemies.

[bwabes]

That was some game. Too bad for Flames fans. Ah well.

[itachi_]

Yay!! Red wings advanced to second round!

[Enki]

I'd like for Toronto to win, but no matter how well they do in the regular season they always seem to f*** things up in the playoffs. I've been rooting for Toronto since 93 and i'm getting kinda sick of them not even making it to the finals. I'd say Calgary, Vancouver, New Jersey and Colorado all have a pretty good chance of taking the cup this year, so it's pretty hard to guess atm.

Edit: oops, just realized New Jersey are eliminated....lol

Flyers will fuck it up though

[bwabes]

You do realize that New Jersey got its ass kicked by Philly, right?

[Enki]

lol....you beat me to it

[bwabes]

Don't badmouth the Flyers, man. They've got a legitimate shot to win it all. They're solid all around, and when they're on a streak no one can stop them.

[ad4mz41]

If Vancouver beats Calgary in the next game Vancouver will play San Jose and Colorado will play the Red Wings, but if the Flames wins then Avs are gonna play against the Sharks and the Falmes are gonna play against the Red Wings.

[Enki]

Yeah, but they have a really bad history like the leafs. They seem to get beat out in the 1st or 2nd round alot. But yeah, maybe you're right.

[ad4mz41]

Every year can be different.

[LaiLiuHa]

ahhh that game last nite was truly the heartbreaker!

i stayed up all nite for nothing!

but go flames go!

[ad4mz41]

You've got to admit though, it was a pretty interesting game. Coming back from a 4-0 deficit and lasting till OT3 is pretty good.

[LaiLiuHa]

yah i agreei/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif

[bwabes]

Ya gotta be pulling for the Flames though. I mean, for a hockey town of that caliber to have a drought like this...

[AkimichiChouji]

Damn right...i lived there for 11 years
only playoff game ive ever been to
was back in 94?
Jarome Iginla's first ever game in the nhl
scores his first ever nhl goal/playoff goal

Calgary vs Chicago
Belfour in net
4-3 triple overtime
Daze scored the goal in game 7

[Kagari]

GO MUTHA-FUCKIN LEAFS GO! GO LEAFS GO! GO LEAFS GO! GO LEAFS GO! GO LEAFS GO!

[bwabes]

Shame that the Leafs lost, no? Too bad. Looks like Ottawa's going to advance, given their momentum. Shame, that.

Also, don't caps and curse words loose their effectiveness when you use them all the time?

[MeKa]

Ya, thats right, Canucks are back, and the Flames are gonna get taken to school....

They WILL advance.

[AkimichiChouji]

He said one swear, and Ottawa winning? They have the same chance as a snowballs chance in hell. Toronto will ruin them in game 7 its going to be an all out bloody war

[itachi_]

Detroit will win Western conferance and Philadelphia will win eastern

Detroit will win 4-3 in games.

<u>DETROIT RED WINGS</u> stanley cup champions 2004!

Hell no its the year for canadian teams!

[Kagari]

GO LEAFS GO! I'll swear if I damn well want too, ottawa boy! GO LEAFS GO!


The leafs gave the sens a pity win...it's like fishing. When you catch a fish, you give them a little slack so they lower their guard....then you hook em, reel in and FEAST.

[bwabes]

We'll see, it's going to be close...and the Flames win!!!

[Vagabond]

nvm i was wrong about the leafs


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
the flames won i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[LaiLiuHa]

GOT WOOT? I SURE DO!!!

I started to get worried when Canucks tied it at the end, but man FLAMES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hakeem_21]

Im a Colorado Avanlanche fan,am i the only here? Anyway its our year,we gonna crush

[AkimichiChouji]

Predictions for second round?


Tampa vs Montreal?
..its a toughie but i say Tampa in 7

Philly vs Toronto/Ottawa
Definatly a 7 game series

San Jose vs Colorado
San Jose in 6

Detroit vs Calgary
Calgary in 7

[Kagari]

Hrm....I disagree Chouji.


Habs in 6

Toronto in 7

Colorado in 5

Calgary in 7

[AkimichiChouji]

I think for the TB and Hab series its like, young guys vs young guys and who is going to have the most stamina in the end.

Khabibulin is playing great for tampa, but theodore just got off a shut out and is hot right now and has the momentum going into Thursday? i think that is when the second round starts, where as Tampa has not been playing for a while.

I can't wait for the game tonite tho...GO LEAFS

[itachi_]

LOL, How can you think that Calgary will win against Detroit, you suck.

Detroit or Colorado will win Stanley-cup, most likely Detroit.

[AkimichiChouji]

hello no...Detroit...old people....yzerman hasnt done anything for them yet and shanahan has only got fluky goals so far only one doing anything is ztterberg

Calgary will do great...kipprosoff and iginla are hot conroy wins pretty much every face off and oliwa is going to piss the hell out of them all!

[LaiLiuHa]

i agree!

just look at how the wings choked last yeari/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[AkimichiChouji]

Exactly....Calgary is so hyped now first playoff series win since 89 back when they won lord stanleys cup!!! Could it finally go to them?


I Don't know...if Toronto pulls it off tonite...its gunna be a great second round! Toronto wants vengence from last years playoffs

[Kagari]

ooo, philly vs. toronto is gonna be sweet!

I love how Itatchi flames.

"LOL how can you think calgary will win you suck"

As Chouji Said, Calgary has a better chance of advancing than detroit does. Iyatchi, you clearly don't watch Hockey, or don't pay attention to it. Don't worry, you're sweidsh...maybe we'll forgive you.

But colorado will not win the cup, and neither will detroit.

Neither team has solid goaltending, and they aren't getting production from any of their top offensive talents...Save for Joe Sakic and Robert Lang. those guys kick SO much ass.

[bwabes]

Well, I finally agree with you on something, Kagari :- ). Although you may be a little premature by already pairing Philly against Toronto (they still have to play the game). If it is Toronto, though, it'll be a down-to-the-wire series.

Also, I don't think Colorado or Detroit really has the potential to win the cup this year.

I'll be looking forward to that game tonight...

[ad4mz41]

Sharks vs Colorado, damn Colorado is going to be so hard to defeat. Sharks are probably going to lose to them. I bet when Selanne gets on the ice in the HP Pavilion everyone is going to BOO him. I think this match will last 6 games.

[AkimichiChouji]

HAH TORONTO WON EAT IT ALL OF YOU!! MWUAHAHAHAHA

PH34R the Canadian teams!

[Kagari]

TORONTO: 4 OTTAWA: 1 final

bwabes, there was never any doubt my leafs would be moving on i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif But you're right, it will be down-to the wire...I said toronto in 6, but it will most likely go to 7 games. The key is getting some offense going.

Philly isn't as fast as Ottawa, so offensive chances will be pretty even...and if it's a goaltender vs. goaltender matchup, which it most likely will be....I don't think Esche OR burke has what it takes.


EDDIE! EDDIE! EDDIE!

[kira_blade]

Go Leafs! Toronto vs. Philedelphia tomorrow night ... 7:30 PM EST ... Hehehe ...

[AkimichiChouji]

Yup Toronto is going to have phone against philly

Philly has Roenik (just punch him in the jaw)
rechi is good all around
gagne is fast
esche wtf? when did he get hot? i think the leafs will turn him stone cold

Nolan and Sundin will be back before you know it
And well you know how Nolan felt after last years series against them

Hes pissed and wants to play i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Heres hoping for a game 4 arrival before a game 6 arrival for him


GO LEAFS

[bwabes]

You guys talk the talk, but we'll see...

[AkimichiChouji]

Its not talk...its called skill, and they have lots of it
Down with Detroit i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif


Toronto vs Philly tonite...ALL OUT WAR

[bwabes]

And Philly wins 3-1!!! Go Flyers, go Flyers...

EDIT: By the way, in my last post, I was talking about the Leafs fans, not the Detroit - Calgary thing.

[AkimichiChouji]

Calgary 2-1 in OT oooooh ya baby!!!
Be afraid Detroit!

crappy about Toronto, they were just testing how philly would play...
no worries at all!

[bwabes]

Teams don't test other teams, chief. They play to win. And the Leafs lost.

[ad4mz41]

Sharks beat Colorado 5-2!!!! Woot! Man Colorado were playing dirty and the refs weren't calling anything. They are a bunch of poor sports. All that stuff was happening at the end with all those cheap shots when the game was over, just plain dirty. Patrick Marleau with his second hat trick of the playoffs! And good job Calgary! We underdogs need to stick together.

[Kagari]

Leafs in 5.

[itachi_]

Damn, Red Wings lost... but, it was the first game, they'll win the next game... I just love to see Shanahan, Hull, Yzerman play, veterans who knows how to play, I hate those teams such as Nashville, Columbus with these kids 18-20.... geez

[AkimichiChouji]

Hah, but in 18-20 years they will be the same age as those oldies and be the same way don't you think?
I believe the balance of hockey is changing, and the younger, the faster usually means the better you are....AS you can clearly see Gelinas man handled 3 detroit players in their own end and made a one handed pass with the stick right on to Nilson's stick and top corner...

They can't handle that!

Calgary will win!



Leafs in 6-7 i dunno
id hope 5 i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Tofu #2]

hey what happened to colorado's golie? Roy. Did he retire or soemthing?

[ad4mz41]

Yeah he retired and now Aebischer (sp?) took over for him. He wasn't doing too good yesterday, and on top of that he took one cheap shot at Dimitrakos with his stick. "In the final 10:20 of the contest, Colorado amassed 54 minutes in penalties." Hahaha crazy.

[bwabes]

Flyers in 6.

[Kagari]

Untill they lose another, Leafs In 5.


Khabibulin is on FIIRE! Eddie will catch up to him, though...just watch, Habs will break down the Bulin Wall, but the eagle will never cease soaring!

[ad4mz41]

Yeaaa Sharks 4-1 against Colorado. Now 2-0 in series. Has anyone checked out Tampa Bay's goalie yet I heard he was on fire, he has four shutouts so far.

[itachi_]

YEAH, Detroit beat Calgary, 5-2 !

[njdevs95]

Yeah I've been a fan of Khabibulin since he was in washington, good to see him doing well now.

[bwabes]

YES!!!!!! Flyers win!!!! Now they're up 2-0! Toronto's got no hope!

EDIT: What a game, though. Both goalies had some ridiculous saves.

[AkimichiChouji]

Still have confidence in my leafs
Calgary in 7 still confident
San jose still confident
Montreal vs TB ive felt bad ever since the coach of the russian team never game him the bronze medal that year, what an ice whore.... so ya Khabby is hot and playing awesome

possible canadian conference finals?

I Hope So i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[bwabes]

I don't know if any of the Canadian teams will advance. The only one I think has a shot is Calgary. But the fact is, Toronto played their best and still got beaten. It was a good game, but they just can't stand up to the Flyers.

[AkimichiChouji]

Just wait for Nolan!

[animeniac]

All i have to say is detroit sux and the Canadian teams are gonna pwn. Btw san jose is cool too

[AkimichiChouji]

Hopefully san jose is 3-0 tonite!

[Kagari]

Leafs in 6.

[ad4mz41]

3-0 for SAN JOSE!!! Unbelievable, Colorado has some of the greatest players right now. Nabokov was clearly the player for todays game, with a shutout against alot of great chances for Colorado. YEAAH Now they gotta win the next one and its gonna be a sweep, hopefully. Go Calgary! Kiprusoff is pretty good, he use to be the backup goalie for San Jose. Damn we shouldn't have let him go.

[AkimichiChouji]

Ya go San Jose

i want San Jose vs Calgary because last time these 2 met San Jose won in 7 games

[itachi_]

Detroit will win, remember my bet now, you'll see that i'm right...

[Kagari]

LOL. @ itatchi.


Detroit will win, eh? Im sure Joseph will stand on his head...just like he stood on teh bench all year. Where's your cup now, curtis?

[AkimichiChouji]

"whoops" *slips and falls on puck* guess im out for the rest of the year *sigh* "oh woah is me"

-Curtis Joseph

[joker-kun]

T DOT WON 4-1!

[KakashiSensei]

OOHH YEAH BABY finally...PWNED

[ad4mz41]

NOOO Colorado in overtime beat San Jose 0-1. Series is now 3-1. I really watnt them to beat Colorado next game.

[AkimichiChouji]

damn colorado damn them all to hell go leafs go flames!

[AkimichiChouji]

HAHA...

My predictions are awesome so far


i believe i said TB in 6...they won in 4 (sigh)
Toronto in 7 still like i said before
Sanjose in 6 as i said before
and Calgary in 6-7 i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Do it tonite calgary!!

[ad4mz41]

Damn Sakic, he scored all of their three goals in the past two games. They can't let the next game go into OT again, they have got to win it tommorow. I hope some of the players that were scoring alot in the regular season (e.g. Ekman, Cheechoo, McCauley) start scoring more in the playoffs. My prediction for next game, 03-01 SJ WINS!!!

It really sucks for Detroit too, losing their captain. Quite an emotional and physical breakdown.

[AkimichiChouji]

WEll yzerman has been one of my fav players of all time so it hurts to see that...


But Calgary will finish it tonite i hope!

[Everon]

Heh, my roommates a flyer's fan. I used to be bruins, before they sucked royaly.... :/

[bwabes]

Geeze, what a game! My hat goes off to the Flames. I'm starting to worry about them in the finals, though...they're too hot.

[ad4mz41]

Wowee Calgary beat Detroit. Now SJ has got to beat Colorado and reunite with their old goalie and old coach and teach them a lesson! Haha I'm just kidding, but I really hope the next matchups will be SJ and Calgary, two underdog teams no one thought would make it.

[bwabes]

YES!!!! FLYERS WIN!!! Roenick is the man!

6 games, just like I said. Toronto had a nice spurt at the end, but they're no match for the Flyers. We're going all the way!!!

[ad4mz41]

WOO SHARKS WIN 03-01. GOOOOO SHARKS! They are going to meet up with Calgary on Sunday, good luck!

[bwabes]

The conference finals are going to be killer. My picks up front:

Flyers in 7
Calgary in 7

[AkimichiChouji]

I say Tampa in 6
Calgary in 6

[ad4mz41]

I think that it will be:

Lighting in 6
Sharks in 7

[ad4mz41]

I heard about this but i didn't see it until today, yeah i'm slow in everything: Damn that hit on Kapanen was huge! see it here (http://poststuff.entensity.net/050704/media.php?media=hit.wmv). Gotta give him credit though for trying to make it back to the bench instead of letting the ref blow a call or something.

[bwabes]

Yeah, that was a clutch play, too, cause it opened up the ice for Roenick to make the winning goal.

[ad4mz41]

Daaam! What a great first round game. I dont care if SJ lost ( I do a little) but that game was cool. Fast paced. We gonna get you next time Calgary muahaha!

[GLS]

This year, I know 1 thing for sure: Philadelphia will choke! The writings on the wall, boys.

I already know who is gonna win next years Stanley Cup: nobody!

[bwabes]

Um, winning 6-2, and really 6-0 and then not trying? The Flyers are great at home, and now they have home ice advantage. In 7, like I said.

[ad4mz41]

Well you gotta expect alot from Philly. They are the only team left with an above avg payroll. The rest of the teams have avg if not less.
Damn Sharks, they ain't playing as good as they use to. Calgary is beating us to it.i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif. If we don't win I hope this series will go at least six games.
AND one more thing is for sure... I love Tampa Bay's stadium! They must have the best stadium ever. It's a pretty new stadium and they got hot cheerleaders.

[AkimichiChouji]

Well i still think Philly will get too over confident...and lose to Tampa...
Calgary in 6 tampa in 7 still thats what i predict!

[ad4mz41]

Man i'm sad now.i/expressions/brokenheart.gifi/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif Good luck Calgary in the finals.

[AkimichiChouji]

Well like i predicted Tampa in 7 and Calgary in 6


Great finals !!! can't wait!

[ad4mz41]

I want Tampa Bay to win because:
-Calgary eliminated San Jose
-Lecavalier and St. Louis are a great pair.
-They never won the Stanley Cup ever.
-Andreychuk deserves it.
-I bet my friends that Tampa Bay would win.

But I wouldn't mind if Calgary won either because:
-They represent the west.
-Jarome and Conroy are cool and work well together (also along with Gelinas)
-Kipper is the Sharks old backup goalie and we support him.
-I like their stadium.
Calgary girls also go wild! There was a site with tons of them flashing their boobs off.

[Lego]

The main reason i want tampa to win (im a av's fan with swimming_Bird in #animeone) , is mainly due to them being in tampa, and me living on the east coast of florida.

[MOJOJOJO]

Anyone who wants the link can PM me and i'll send it to you.

[Mgslee]

Go Flames Go!!!

I'm from Calgary so yeah...

As for links just use google for Calgary Girls Gone Wild or something like that. I think linking to those type of pictures is against the ToS

17th ave (Red Mile) is the best place to go after a game... tonnes of people all crazy with Flames Fever.
2 more wins! Flames in 6!

[AkimichiChouji]

Calgary all the way i lived there for 11 years in the NE

Calgary will win!

[ad4mz41]

uh oh, game 7! do or die....
