More hockey stuff

[gekkogecko]

For those of you not paying close attention.

You, of course, should be.

Canadiens & Flyers tied...Penguins, Red Wings, & Stars all have 2 games.

I know Sugarsprinkles is happy about this: I suspect that Neige isn't as happy.

Personally, I'd like to see the Rangers come back and trash the Penguins. Not sure it's going to happen, but I'd perfer that series to come otu that way. Then have the Canadiens & Rangers play for that conference championship. And for the other, I'd like to see the Red Wings & Stars in it. And of those choices, the Canadiens & Red Wings play for the cup.

I can hope.

I think a weekend of Australian football (AFL and NFL) got in the way.

I'm glad for those made glad by this news.

[GreenChef]

We will defeat the Flyers
out played them in game two
afraid my friend mr Price just had a Bad Bad game
he could easily have stopped all those goals, especially the first two
Not worried about two games coming up in Philly
I expect a win tonight

I admit playing the Rangers would be exiting
But I would prefer to play the Penguins for the conference

GOHABSGO !!!

[GreenChef]

Ouch !

[GreenChef]

#@$^#@$

Bloody Hell
Playing well,
they seem to have only one problem
Getting the puck in the net !?
Too many weak shots
#@!&'n Begin getting a dumb penalty after we tie up the game
We could easily beat them 3 times in a row
but I don't think it will happen after what I have seen so far
Saturday we will Win
Sunday... the only hurdle
they can do it...

[Rhiannon]

GOOO FLYERS WOOO
another win done

[IowaMan]

I don't get to see much of the playoffs but from the highlights I've seen and stories I've read, I'm thinking the Wings may just end up having a shot at the Cup. :wish:


Hopefully they wouldn't end up playing Pittsburgh but those guys seem to be on fire right now.

[GreenChef]

Well Rhiannon

We no longer pose a huge threat
but the Flyers will lose tomorrow
oh and the good news
if/when we do, only tow more to go after that... !!!

[PantyFanatic]

...Hopefully they wouldn't end up playing Pittsburgh but those guys seem to be on fire right now.
They will play them after the march over the Flyers leaving Penguin footprints to match the ones on the Rangers ass. :hockey:

[GreenChef]

Ouch
talk about an upset...
Not sure how many of you saw the series
but we coulda, woulda, shoulda beat them
But the Habs played like garbage in the playoffs, and lady luck was smiling, not for us...
(and don't get me started about Ref's and Idiots taking penalties at the wrong time)
I guess them young 'uns need a little more experience in the fire
I think we would have stood a better chance against the Penguins, and Wings?
That is if The Habs had been playing hockey

[gekkogecko]

Yeah, I get back from Baltane, and find the Penguins and Flyers both won. Sucks raw moose cock.

[Rhiannon]

GO FLYERS..
Yes i am in philly area

I will say if sir stanley comes home to philly the city will go f*cking nuts

[GreenChef]

I've been to Philly

Love the city
I was there in 2000 for about 11 days, CMWC race
Also a few years later for another race... NACCC
Had a blast

[IowaMan]

Oh man, this one just absolutely had me rolling in my chair.

They should have dubbed the speech and at least made the German match the supposed English translation.

[GreenChef]

Good one IM

[gekkogecko]

And now, the Red Wings and the Penguins are each on the verge of playing for the Cup. Woah.

[1nutworld]

So much for the sweep. I didn't expect to get one anyway, Dallas is much better than they have played this series, but they have to win 3 in a row to take the Wings out.

I think Pittsburgh takes out Philly tonight and they await the Wings for the Cup finals.

We shall see.....it's sure been a good playoffs so far!

[gekkogecko]

Nah, no sweep, but yeah, I'm thinking Detroit takes out Dallas in the next game. And yeah, you're probably right, Pittsburgh takes the series from Philadelphia tonight.

[1nutworld]

I think that the NHL, got the finals it "wanted" the youth of the Pens vs. the age and experience of the Red Wings, even though the Wings really aren't as old as many people seem to think.

I think ultimately that the Wings prevail, but it will be a series of close games, ending with the Wings hoisting Lord Stanley's cup after game 6.

Sorry Sid, better luck next year.

[gekkogecko]

Go, Detroit! (at this point, far better than Pittsburgh taking the Cup).

[1nutworld]

Strictly speaking from a NHL "wish list" standpoint, I'm sure that Gary Bettman is hoping that Sid the Kid gets to lift the cup over his head after game 7, and the NHL media machine (2 hampsters on a wheel, and a mouse with an old ink quill) would quickly get to work sending various images of Sid with the cup, sent out via Pony express to all 14 people in the US who still care about hockey. CBC will handle things for the Canadians who will be estatic that Sid lead the Pens to victory.

[1nutworld]

Wings take game 2 by a 3-0 score. Pittsburgh has now gone 135 minutes and 57 seconds without scoring a goal.

Things got chippy at the end of the game with Pittsburgh getting physical and playing the body going after Wings goalie Chris Osgood as well as winger Johan Franzen.

While I understand why, and I would probably, "coach them up" the same way, I don't see how the Penguins think that roughing up the goalie and a player coming back from concussion-like symptoms would be the guys wearing the bullseye. Take Zetteberg or Datsyuk out of their games by going after them, they have done more damage to the Pens than Franzen. If you target Ozzie or Franzen the wings will just beat you on the power play.

Hockey Central guys were saying that was what the Pens need to do, to get try and gain some momentum, and while I understand that theory, it just appears that the Penguins are losing composure, and against a veteran team like the Wings, I don't see how that would work.

Anyone got any thoughts?

[1nutworld]

I've got to take a minute to give the Penguins some credit, this team has the look of a potential champion, given their core group of players.

While I don't understand some of the actions on the ice, I'm sure that some of it is just due to frustration of being dominated by the Wings thus-far.

The Penguins have not played badly this series, but the Wings have just played better.

With Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury , Jordan Staal , Marian Hossa , Max Talbot and company the Pens have a very bright future. The comparisons between this team and the early 80's Oilers teams seem to be pretty accurate.

My guess is that Crosby will hoist the Cup sooner rather than later, just not THIS year. Enjoy the ride Pens and NHL fans, its going to be a beauty.

[gekkogecko]

And hopefully, tonight's the night that Detroit ends it all.

[PantyFanatic]

Congrats
WINGS


:(









(talk about pulling one out of your ass, that 3rd point set the standard. :banghead: )


:rofl:

[gekkogecko]

Despite giving up a late power play, pulled-goalie goal, the Detroit Red Wings won the game 3-2, and get the Stanley Cup for thsi year.

What a wild ride. I know SugarSprinkles is happy.

[PantyFanatic]

^^^ Yep Yep Yep! :d

[1nutworld]

Congrats to the Penguins as well as the Wings for an entertaining Stanley Cup Finals.

Detroit own's Stanley right now, and for the next 360+ days, but Sid the kid will get his hands on it really soon!
