haha, did you mean me?
I am pissed at the Bruins. Do you guys know that with how
things worked out, if we had beat you in regulation last week
you would have missed the playoffs?
The fact that the Bruins allowed the Habs into the playoffs, and
actually engineered the matchup themselves scares the shit out of me.
I had a poll on my radio show a week ago asking did people want the Bruins
to play the Habs or did the thought scare them. The results were unanimous,
everyone wanted the matchup and nobody was scared of the Habs. Except me.
I know the Bruins are the better team right now, and we have played you guys
well. But just the thought of having to watch the Bruins playing in Montreal
in the playoffs again makes me sick to my stomach. I am going to be a mess for
the next week plus.
I am also GOING to Game One! A late Christmas present from a friend!!!
Seeing as how it's an exact reversal of last year, I can ask you:
is it easier as a fan to come into this series as the top seed or
the bottom? I felt more relaxed last year as the bottom seed, with
no pressure, only hope. Expectations are harder to take.
On the western side of things, I'm glad the blues won today so that the wings got columbus in the first round instead of the ducks, who have been on quite the tear. wings have been pretty nagl as of late, especially today. shit. are there even any hockey fans on here from the west? do i have to wait till the wings make it to the finals to talk shit with you dudes?
Nah, dude - Cove says just above that after the Canadiens get eliminatedshit. are there even any hockey fans on here from the west? do i have to wait till the wings make it to the finals to talk shit with you dudes?
he'll be rooting for the Wings, too. So at least you'll have a fellow fan
after the first round
I been lurking but keeping up with the thread. Work has me on the busi-ness tip.
I can't wait for playoffs to start. Didn't think Montreal was going to make it the way they were falling off, but now a Boston - Montreal series round one! Especially after their last get together.
Pittsburgh - Philadelphia is also gonna be one hell of a series.
In the west, I'm looking forward to the St. Louis - Chicago series. I think that one will be one of the more interesting ones with Chicago making the playoffs for the first time in a LONG time and St. Louis coming from last place to make it in.
...and as always...go Red Wings!
i like how the ducks have been playing
but the sharks have too much performance pressure to let that one go
columbu redwings should have some great highlights but we know what will ultimately happen
i predict the wings vs sharks and pitt vs boston in conference finals
the west is defintely more interesting this year
but the NHL has been so unpredictable these past years you can barely call anything an upset anymore

won my hockey pool yesterday thanks to the bruins NOT shutting out the isles.
weren't the panthers stupid for not letting go of boumeester for something, rather than trying to make the playoffs and now have nothing to show for it?
i'm interested in how Ovechkin reacts against Avery. that will be really interesting, also im sure he's hungry for the playoffs since the early exit last year.
detroit's goalies are dismal, i dont see them going far.

Chiming in from Chicago: So nice to see the Hawks make the playoffs. They have a promising club but their stars are still too wet behind the ears to go far, though it's encouraging somewhat that their first-round opponent is the Flames instead of the Canucks.
word. flames look pretty good since their acquisition of yolk-o-nen. but i would rather see the hawks win. chicago soul > calgary soul
Haven't seen enough of the Flames to make a call. But the Hawks swept the season series against Calgary and struggled against the Canucks, so maybe it's just a better matchup for them, for whatever reason.
