nah vancouver has better players all over and can deal with a goalie bed shitting. plus theyre used to them lolz. they just seem to have three methods of play every time i see them: they all play great and dominate, skates play great and the goalie gets cloutier-itis, or the goalie plays good but the team absloutely collapses.
it is kind of weird they havent won one in the past 2-3 years. just a lot of bad luck running into hot teams or just having bad games at bad times
as far as montreal i agree. i think they can honestly go either way. I really like price and the defense, and the forwards support them well. I could also see them not scoring and flubbing out like that

4 out of the last 5 times Vancouver got knocked out, it was by the eventual champions, so at least they're not just losing to bad teams...
|
well i don't see how my habs can pass round one playing like they are. this season is meaningless if we suck shit like that at the end and during playoffs.
ffs

Don't worry. Not like the Leafs have been much better of late either. It will still be a close first round!

I could also see them not scoring and flubbing out like that no they cant. Watching them string together pretty weak victories -- didnt watch the Hawks game -- over the last couple of weeks and losing when Scneider has a night off is just par for the course for them.Fortunately the bottom 3 in the West are all going to be pretty weak teams so Canucks should manage to limp into the second round in 6 games. Unless Schneider is off.

ffs Yeah but Habs vs Leaf in series will worth it. It will be awesome and I think we (Habs) have a good chance to win it.
Go Habs Go !!

Meh well see. I think, if healthy (theyve not been but they should come playoffs mostly right?) they should be able to overcome goaltending duds. unfortunately ive seen them maybe once this year?? stupid lockout. theyve not been on the nbcs late night game often

The Sens are going to play Erik Karlsson tonight, and he will have reservered his tendon and ruined his career by the second intermission.
|
I'd love to see the Sens versus the Caps in the first round. Make it happen!

Columbus/Detroit right down to the wire, which is too bad as Detroit and the Wild both hold tie breakers against them. Unless the Wild lose the next two and Columbus wins the next two.
|
Sorry Jets fans :'(
On the bright side, you can hop on the Leafs bandwagon and cheer for us!
|
Damn, and I was really hoping for a Coyotes/Jets SCF!
|
as to what I was saying re canucks, today's game is another glowing example. Luongo plays adequately but not perfectly and they get clowned by Anaheim. The Sedins arent the offensive dynamos they used to be so the Canuck PP cant take advantage and 5-5 they only have one really scary line. The other 3 are, and are played by AV, as grinders. And that doesnt really work that well when the other team is much bigger than you and is at least as fast.

Too good you mean? :D And hoping for some more late season chokage from Minnesota so Detroit can get 7 seed because no one wants to play Chicago.

I think its too bad because Bobrovsky is the peoples' champion. Betrayed by Philly, claiming redemption on a team that is kind of like that planet of garbage from Transforms the Movie (the good one, not the Michael Bay crap). I am a Red Wings fan so watching them lose in 4-5 to Anaheim or Chicago isnt that great. And quite frankly maybe missing the playoffs is what Holland needs to get out of the dumb habit of signing people like Samuellson and Quincey and Erickson. Datsyuk is in his penultimate contract year and Id like him to feel that he has a semi-decent chance to make it to at leas a Conference Final before he moves home.

With the eve of the Stanley Cup playoffs upon us.. the greatest journey in sports is about to begin.... and with that in mind....
i'm not a big fan of Wayne Gretzky. However, he wrote one of the most memorable Stanley Cup stories in his autobiography.
In Wayne Gretzky's Autobiography, he recalls the night the Oilers lost the 1983 Stanley Cup Finals to the Islanders. It was the Islanders 4th straight cup,
"We both knew we were going to have to walk by the Islander locker room, and we were dreading it: having to see all the happy faces, the champagne shampoos, the girlfriends' kisses, the whole scene we wanted so much. But as we walked by, we didn't see any of that. The girlfriends and the coaches and the staff people were living it up, but the players weren't. Trottier was icing what looked like a painful knee. Potvin was getting stuff rubbed on his shouler. Guys were limping around with black eyes and bloody mouths. It looked more like a morgue than a champion's locker room. And here we were perfectly fine and healthy. That's why they won and we lost. They took more punishment than we did. They dove into more boards, stuck their faces in front of more pucks, threw their bodies into more pileups. They sacrificed everyting they had. And that's when Kevin said something I'll never forget He said, 'That's how you win championships'"
-Wayne Greztky, "Gretzky an Autobiography"
