QuoteIt's a LONG shot for my Blackhawks. But it should be a great series whoever they play.

Hawks are playing some inspired hockey right now. Fell behind in every game vs. Vancouver but still managed to win the series. Certainly not a recipe for success, but this team isn't fazed by anything. I think the playoff inexperience is working in their favor right now.

Taterbug - your avatar looks like he's rockin along to the tune in the clip!! Go Hawks!! :D

Tonight my heart is with the ducks and my brain is with the wings. But since I don't like the wings, i will make my official pick the ducks. I hope parros' stache is out in full force. The other game is a tougher one to choose, both teams have looked awesome at times, i'll go with the Bs.

I haven't seen Mark Roth on TV in a long time. Let's go ahead and say he probably only bowls the big tourneys and runs a limited schedule.

Im glad thats your pick. That means they wont win it [smiley=thumbup.gif]
That's a reach man.

I like the Flyers, who I knew was a VERY long shot to beat the Pens.

You have a deeper team and a better goalie...

I can't believe the Pens let the Caps take it to seven games...

let the Caps take it to 7 games?! We were down 0-2 and still won the series. Kind of hard to win 4 in a row ::)

How bout that sweep Mickey?! ;D :P

Yeah, they LET the Caps take it that far. The fact it made it that far is pathetic on the part of the Pens.

The Flyers weren't a long shot. In fact, I believe they were the favourite given that the Pens fought hard to get into the playoffs. However, the Flyers are always undone by crappy goaltending.

Anyone who thought the Flyers were favorites need to take off their orange and black blinders. Yeah, the Pens struggled early, but the good (or bad, depending on how your view it) is it is outrageously easy to make it to the playoffs in hockey. Plus they went on a torrid streak at the end of the season. That should have been all the proof needed.

This schtick isnt working

Leontheslut · May 14, 2009, 06:10 PM

The pens are a MUCH better team all around than Wash, to let them hang around so long is pathetic.

From their D, to the depth to their goalie the pens beat them in every respect. The one thing Wash had over the Pens was having the best player on the ice. But Ovie can't do it all himself.

capt. scotty · May 14, 2009, 06:34 PM

You might be the only person who thought he was the best player on the ice more than 1 out of 7 games.

Leontheslut · May 14, 2009, 06:35 PM

Hah, youre funny ;D

Either your blinders/disdain for Sid is so great that you dont even realize he's a better player, or youre just fishing.

Goalscoring: Ovie >> Sid
Checking: Ovie >>> Sid
Speed: Ovie > Sid (maybe)

Everything else: Sid >>> Ovie

Leontheslut · May 14, 2009, 07:59 PM

All I'm saying is Ovie seems to do a lot more with a lot less. Your team has two superstars and a bunch of other great players. He has nothing that good.

you forgot diving and whining :D

but checking??? really??

capt. scotty · May 14, 2009, 08:54 PM

you dont think Ovie checks more often and is more physical than Crosby?

Im pretty sure he had hands down the most hits from any player with say, over 30 points. He also seems to be regarded as playing more physical than any other star in a long time by many in the media.

What a game that Wings/Ducks game was. A sigh of disappointment occurred when Cleary put that one in.

This Bs/Canes game is almost as good. Im sure Jaimoe is glad his boy Lucic got the GTG ;D

capt. scotty · May 14, 2009, 11:26 PM

Wow.

Scott Walker, the guy who had the questionable "sucker punch" on the Bruins Ward a couple games ago, gets his first career playoff goal (or at least first against the Bruins) and it ends Bostons season.

That has got to make it hurt even more if you are a Bruins fan.

Great game though [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I'm sickened that he scored the winner since the bastard went to high school with my wife.
