    wtf! a non-white girl who likes hockey! you are indeed a rare breed.

    Anyway, although i do enjoy hockey i haven't really been following it too much...mainly due to the fact that i dont have a tv at my place here.

    My pick for the cup are the red wings. They'll crush everyone else.

    Edit:

    i wish for once, the leafs would stop sucking ass and win the damn cup.

    yeah. I know I heard that a lot. I got into hockey since I live in Québec (#1 hockey fan in my opinon) and because of my guy friends. I wish Senateur (they were amazing this season) would win the cup this year.

    Anaheim. I think Selänne is already so old that he can't possibly stay on ice for many more years, so a Stanley Cup victory now wouldn't be bad.

    Not living in North America I can't really and honestly cheer any particular team, and so any team with somebody from Finland playing in it is fine for me.

    Buffalo? Buffalo! Buffalo has a team in the playoffs?!
    Christ the Bills have been such a disappointment the last few years, but at least our hockey team is doing something right!

    I'm seriously not a fan of hockey at all. I go to some of my university's games, and those are fun, but I'm not much into the sport at all. But if a team from Buffalo is in it then I have to root for them (although there's no way for me to watch any of the games here in Italy...)

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Yes, he's a very cool player as well. I wouldn't mind if his team won. He's a bit younger than Selänne, though, so unless something happens, he has more time left, likely.

    Me, I'm happy that the Canucks are not in the Stanley Cup. Since I live in Vancouver, I'm constantly bombarded with my friends talking about the team whenever they get the chance. I don't mind watching hockey, but it gets REALLY annoying how I hear my friends recapping last night's game over and over again.

    Talking about the Flames, I was so pissed when they lost in finals against the Lightening from Tampa Bay 2 years ago before the lock out.
    I hate lock outs, it was so boring last year.
    Currently watching the game Canadiens VS Hurricanes.
    score:5-4 for Canadiens. Less than 1:30 minutes left, anything can happen
    Go habs go!

    Edit: After entering the second OT, Ryder scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy!!!!

    *Update*

    Survivors:

    1- Ottawa
    2- Carolina
    3- New Jersey
    4- Buffalo
    5-Edmonton
    6- Anaheim
    7- Colorado
    8-San José

    Round 2:

    San José VS Edmonton
    Ottawa VS Buffalo
    Anaheim VS Colorado
    Carolina VS New Jersey

    So, yeah Canadiens lost... I dont mind as long as Saku Koivu gets better from his eye injury since game 3. There is always next year.

    Another update.
    Conference Finals:
    Anaheim VS Edmonton (First game start on Friday)
    and
    Carolina VS Buffalo (First game start on Saturday)

    I think that the Finals will be Edmonton VS Carolina.

    LETS GO BUFFALO

    seriously that city needs something to celebrate, and if the Bills cant get them a championship itd be awesome to see the Sabres get it.

    So i see you guys want Buffalo to be in the finals... Well, I want Carolina so that the Canadiens didnt get eliminated for nothing.

    It will be the first time for Anaheim, Buffalo and Carolina if they win this year to get the Stanley Cup. But the 6th time for Edmonton, if they win.

    Oilers deserve it more....cuz you know, they're a canadian team and canada = hockey. Its only fair.

    Lol. I agree with you. But it would have been more fair if it was the Canadiens, even though they wont the cup 24 times. I mean, its like the only french team, and Québecois are the best at hockey and a big huge fan at hockey. They only talk about hockey.

    But lets see who wins the cup this year.

  19. #19
    Update!

    Sorry for Buffalo and Anaheim fans..... Sorry masa

    FINALS:


    EDMONTON VS CAROLINA

    Games starting on June 5th.

    I say that Edmonton is going to win since its a team from Canada.

    Go Edmonton!!!!!
