Official NHL playoff thread 2008...

[MC Moot]

Geography dictates I pull for Calgary…but my hearts with the Habs and my money’s on Ottawa….

Calgary takes San Jose in 5…

Ya hear me A-Z?

:D

[abcdefz]

Actually, vice-versa.

See you at the Tank tonight? :D

I actually think the Sharks might get the cup this year. I really think they might.

[abcdefz]

That shut you up, huh.

No, but seriously. Our guys are back, and I really think they're going to get this done for Roenick. Adding Campbell and Shelley have
really given them a kick in the ass. Hell, Thornton was even fighting recently.

[MC Moot]

It’s on cabron!...loser picks up the dry garlic spare ribs and the first jug of draft….;)

Seriously Lord Stanley is overdue to be returned to the rightful side of the border…one more year that a non-hockey market wins it and we have to invade…it’s in our constitution…

[abcdefz]

Nahhhh.

Hey -- did you know that I actually met Wayne Gretzky back in the day? I had no idea who he was, but he was a honoree at this bank a
friend of mine's father owned. So we had this banquet, and I was 15 at the family's table, brazenly ordering and downing shots of vodka
while this ceremony was going on. Then they had me talking with him afterward, shake his hand, etc. I know nothing about hockey,
so I was pretty much confined to "How's your trip?" etc.

god, I hope so. I've been through so much heartbreak with the Sharks, man. I'd really like to see them go all the way this year.

[abcdefz]

They've got to be frustrated from falling apart so many times. That's part of where I think Roenick is really going to help them keep
their shit together. And Cheech is supposed to be back, Marleau has gotten better...

[MC Moot]

Nahhhh.

Ahhh the Weiner!...as we know and love him…we had such high hopes when he started to coach…to no avail…I think he’s terribly frustrated…I went to a wedding years ago that Messier and Mike Vernon were rip roaring drunk at the reception for…Vernon groped the bride and later in the night got knocked out by a groomsman after the happy couple had departed…:rolleyes:

The key is to negate Thornton,fully completley...Kiprusoff,Iginla and Phaneuf our hopes ride with thee...(y)

Oops.



I just read today that one time Gretzky made Roenick a healthy scratch and Roenick actually left the arena.

Iginla is who our guys really have to shut down. He seems like a monster player.

Don't forget Cujo!


I wish for a Habs/Sens final. At least sometime in my life.

[MC Moot]

Iginla is who our guys really have to shut down. He seems like a monster player.

yeah he really is,without a doubt one of if not the best conditioned player in the league and as a figure in the community is extremly genourous with his time with regards to charitable events...he's mad fit,just watch him lean into the opposition,pure power...he's a prince in this town,class act all around...he and Lanny Macdonald deliver glasses to our kids who need them every year...(y)

That would be a thing of beauty...(y)

Cujo has had the edge of a dull butter knife since arrival,but we'll take him in the pinch!!

That's very cool. (y)

[Whatitis]

ThatHell, Thornton was even fighting recently.

You'd be an idiot to fight Thornton. That guy is huge.

San Jose - Ottawa in the Final.

I'm hoping. San Jose has looked very good the last few weeks, especially Nabokov. Ottawa need to get into playoff form to get it going.

[Loppfessor]

Isn't hockey season almost as long as Nascar??...aka too damn long

[abcdefz]

You'd be an idiot to fight Thornton. That guy is huge.




Plus you'll get Shelley sic'ed on your ass.

Same as basketball. 82 games.

anyway...hockey...yeah...to be honest, this year I haven't been paying enough attention to the season, I generally perk up around playoff time and start taking notice. and I love to watch the cup!

[ToucanSpam]

I've been a die hard Wings fan since 1995, so I'll have to pick them. They look as good as ever and the only team I think that has a chance at knocking them off might be the Sharks...if they keep their end of the bargain and make it to the conference finals.

[DIGI]

Ottawa?? LOL!! You dipshits seriously think that they (or any other team for that matter) have ANY chance to beat the Penguins?1?!?!?!


Laughable, mang.

[adam_f]

Pens 4, Sens 0.

Better yet, Gary Roberts beat them 4-0.

[jabumbo]

oh my god that game was amazing. i got in my seat right as the banner was starting and i was on the edge of my seat the whole time.


nobody messes around in gary roberts' neighborhood!

[abcdefz]

sharks :(

[MC Moot]

Like I said: Kiprusoff,Iginla and Phaneuf...:D

If we can take 2 out of San Jose outta the gate we just may do it...(y)

[abcdefz]

You didn't say anything about Yelle, though.

[MC Moot]

true,true...with 2 cups under his belt the experience he brings is so valuable...a bit of a sleeper till he's on then he's everywhere...he did the pre game mohawk as well...(y)

[abcdefz]

From what I read, Campbell kinda fucked up. He's a much better skater than that.

I need to go see if highlights are on YouTube yet.

[MC Moot]

Do you not get any local network or cable coverage?...or is it all pay for view?...they sure had Toronto on the phone last night,but all the calls were bang on...

[abcdefz]

I don't get any TV at all. I haven't even had an antenna for... man... 20 years?

I know one of my co-workers watches it in another city. I don't think there's a blackout; I think some cable channel carries it.

[MC Moot]

I don't get any TV at all. I haven't even had an antenna for... man... 20 years?.

that's crazy talk...I wish I had the fortitude ooooh the things I could do...hello,my name is Moot and I'm an idiot box addict...I've weened down to the basic cable package...pass the donuts please...

[abcdefz]

I dumped TV back when programming was really, really lousy. I had to go next door each week to a friend's place when I read that
The Simpsons was going to start on TV. :D

Yeah. I just can't abide cable bill + cell phone bill + etc. etc. It just looks like money going down a hole.

As opposed to, say, beer.

[abcdefz]

Okay -- Sharks won. I feel better.

[ToucanSpam]

1 down, 15 to go.


The Preds can play their grind game as much as they want. THeir down 1-0 and have nothing to show for it.

GO WINGS GO

[MC Moot]

Okay -- Sharks won. I feel better.


I prefer a little hockey with my penalty's,thanks and please...(n)

[abcdefz]

You think the referees won?

[MC Moot]

I think there were 3 blatant bullshit calls...and 3 valid...but jam that into the 10 minute time frame they were called in, it swings the game without a doubt...this is playoff hockey,let them play...

[abcdefz]

I only read about it, so I don't know.

Calgary's coach said he was going to talk to the official's board or whatever about it.

[MC Moot]

Iron Mike will set them strait...he's got heavy clout with the league...(y)

[abcdefz]

Here's how our paper covered it:


From Mercury News:

To the Sharks, the string of Calgary penalties was justified.

"If you go over and look at every call, there's a perfect reason for the penalty," Pavelski said.

But Flames Coach Mike Keenan suggested he felt otherwise when asked about the calls.

"I'll share those thoughts with the league and the supervisor of officials," he said.




...the sports columnist just casually referred to it as "drawing penalty after penalty" as if it were a given. No real commentary about it.

Haven't been to the Sharks' website to look at the forum there yet.

[MC Moot]

Obvious propaganda...I can’t imagine living a city/society where the sporting press is so easily manipulated and completley corrupt…scary stuff...:D

[abcdefz]

Something I've really gotten a kick out of is going to opposing teams' forums, newspapers, and blogs and getting a sometimes different slant
on things. Interesting.

[jabumbo]

well the pens escaped with another win with a great game winning goal with about a minute left.


i have to give it to gerber, he got pummeled with over 50 shots and kept his team in the game all the while.

either way, 2-0 heading up to canada. i'm excited now

[ToucanSpam]

2 down, 14 to go!

[jackrock]

Habs up two games to none on the Bruins. Slob my knob, Bob.

[abcdefz]

That's the Sharks we know and are frustrated as hell by. :(

I can't find good video on that hit that Marleau took. Naturally, our paper reported elbowage, other sites say it was clean.

[MC Moot]

Big game tonight chico man...by the way your goaltender is a perv...that book is filth!...:D

[abcdefz]

That took me a moment to understand. :cool:

[Whatitis]

Huge game for the Sharks tonight. I think they can still pull it off though. Man, I thought Ottawa would show up a little more in the playoffs. They are done. It was nice to see Detroit get beat(Kings fan). Do they go with Osgood next game or stick with Hasek? Dallas is a big surpise, not Turco, Dallas. They are shutting Anaheim down.

[abcdefz]

I dunno. I have a bad feeling about this.

CHEWIE! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=asnVcbWQ2cg)

[jabumbo]

Ottawa...:(


hahahhaa.....yeah!!!



go pens for being the only team to get to 3-0. now only if i could find my broom.... :cool:

[DIGI]

^ Word.


I don't get it. You, Adam, and I (Yinzers) are the only ones to mention Pittsburgh. Everyone else................what's your fuckin deal!?!?!?! How can you not acknowledge the sheer force, talent, elegance, youth, etc. that is the Pittsburgh Penguins?? The roster that would be any other team's wishlist?? I respect your opinions, but how can't the Pens be mentioned in your top 3?? And who said Detroit........Toucan?? Shame on you. Everyone knows they're ALWAYS a heavy favorite, but shit the bed come playoff time. I shouldn't be surprised, though. You always pick the odds-on favorites. I'm baffled.....but you'll all recognize......they'll make you.

[Whatitis]

I acknowledge the Pens have great talent but also acknowledge thier youth and that is why I don't see them going all the way, yet.

[abcdefz]

Sharks pulled one out of their ass, I understand. (y)

[MC Moot]

Sharks pulled one out of their ass, I understand. (y)

good game,good officiating,good effort,wrong result...It's a best of three now...made up our mind to make a new start,going back to California with an aching in our hearts...

[abcdefz]

Your goalie made some nice saves, I see...

[MC Moot]

Your goalie made some nice saves, I see...

yeah he stands on his hand pretty much every game,best in the league...zero charisma as a personality,just a deadly serious sportsman...(y)

[abcdefz]

Wow -- Nabokov didn't have to do all that much work last night!


I watched some Canadian broadcast footage of the game, and they must've been truly stung, because they didn't even show the last goal.

I kinda wanted to hear this "stunned silence" myself. :D

Sean and Martine? Any idea who those sportscasters are?

[jabumbo]

sean and martine are no jim huston, thats for sure

[MC Moot]

drama...

http://calsun.canoe.ca/Sports/Hockey/2008/04/17/5309276-sun.html

[abcdefz]

There was a line or two about that in our paper today, too.

[ToucanSpam]

DIGI, I've been a Wings fan since 1995 when they shellacked Patrick Roy 11-2 or whatever the score of that game. Since then, I've been a loyal fan.


Unlike everyone else in this thread, I will acknowledge that the Pittsburgh Penguins look good. They have all of that talent and they have a little more depth than the average team. With that said, they beat the second worst team in the league in the second half of the season. Ottawa had a win percentage of .390 from game number 42 to the end. Without their Captain they looked bad, and with him on the ice at 20% or less he was no more than a symbol for the team. The Pens just beat up on the runt of the playoff litter.

When it comes to the Pens, I still think that they are too inexperienced to win it all. They had an easy opponent that they steamrolled, yes, but what happens when they face a rugged team willing to out-battle them in the corners like Philidelphia, who now looks poised to sink the Capitals? We'll see.

[ToucanSpam]

Sean and Martine? Any idea who those sportscasters are?

They are sports analysists for the Canadian network Sportsnet.

www.sportsnet.ca

Martine is hot, and she knows her sports.

[abcdefz]

Wow. Sharks won.

I guess Iggy's blowup didn't have the intended effect.

[MC Moot]

What's to say about Pittsburgh?...other than it's fan base is a little retarded...:D...I mean sure it's the house that Lemieux built and all...but I really only pull for/take interest in the original 6 or any Canadian franchise...But Pittsburgh's got good lineage and the bastards rooked Crosby...so lookout...

[MC Moot]

Wow. Sharks won.

I guess Iggy's blowup didn't have the intended effect.

That was a tough one,valiant effort...Sunday night fight looms...I'm wary of Sharks especially when theres blood in the water...

[ToucanSpam]

3 down, 13 to go.

[abcdefz]

C'mon, Sharks!

[ToucanSpam]

Finally the Wings put the Preds out of their misery.

4 down 12 to go.


The only reason the Preds had a chance was Dan Ellis. Good showing by him.

[MC Moot]

C'mon, Sharks!

Do you know what happens to a shark when you boil lemons and then mix them in with chum and trail bait them with it?...well do ya?...huh?...do ya?...:D

[abcdefz]

...they sit on their asses for 60 minutes?

[MC Moot]

actually...due to a sharks inability to digest citric acid it causes their stomaches to explode!...ha!

Sharks goaltender Nabokov is Vezina Trophy finalist
Mercury News staff and wires
Article Launched: 04/21/2008 12:33:20 PM PDT

NEW YORK - The Sharks' Evgeni Nabokov, Martin Brodeur of New Jersey and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers are the finalists for
the Vezina Trophy, given to the NHL's top goaltender.

Brodeur won the trophy for the third time last year. It is the eighth time he is a finalist.

Nabokov and Lundqvist and have never won the award. Lundqvist is a finalist for the third consecutive season. He was third in 2006 and 2007.

Nabokov is a first-time finalist. He finished fourth in the voting in 2001-02. Nabokov led the NHL in victories with 46, tied for third in goals-
against average (2.14) and shutouts (six).

General managers from all 30 teams submitted ballots for the award at the end of the regular season.

The winner will be announced at the league's awards show on June 12 in Toronto.

[abcdefz]

Oh, for fuck's sake, Sharks, don't blow it tonight...

[abcdefz]

Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday is just a memory...

[MC Moot]

If there's a goal that everyone remembers it was back in ole' 72
We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
And all I remember was sitting beside you
You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
And I never saw someone say that before
You held my hand and we walked home the long way
You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr
We hung out together every single moment
Cause that's what we thought married people do
Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
And believing in the country of me and you
Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
And yea we'd heard all of that before
It's wintertime, the house is solitude with options
And loosening the grip on a fake cold war

[MC Moot]

Montreal advances...viva la Habitants...(y)

[abcdefz]

Sharks! (y)(y)(y)

[MC Moot]

Kennan pulled Kiprusoff and dumped a cold Cujo into the mix...:confused:...the city's fit to lynch him...unreal...a reminder why he isn't nominated for the Vezina...because the players and the management are at total odds...we''ll see them on the links...:rolleyes:

[MC Moot]

NOW HEAR THIS:

ANY CITY THAT'S CLIMATE IS INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING A NATURAL OUTDOUR RINK IS UNWORTHY OF THE PRIZE.

IT'S NOT JUST A GAME IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.
:mad:

[abcdefz]

Kennan pulled Kiprusoff and dumped a cold Cujo into the mix...:confused:...the city's fit to lynch him...unreal...



That reads like just pure frustration.

That was at 3-1?

Amazing that the Sharks got four in one period. Roenick must've been truly pissed.

[MC Moot]

FURTHERMORE...

all the beer I drank and all the laps I must now swim...for what?...NAUGHT...arggghhhh...taste the chlorine...

[abcdefz]

[B]NOW HEAR THIS:

ANY CITY THAT'S CLIMATE IS INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING A NATURAL OUTDOUR RINK IS UNWORTHY OF THE PRIZE.




Guess the Ducks are out.

[Rock]

That Flyers 2nd goal was bullshit. Unbelievable. Didn't the Caps get called out on the same thing to a lesser degree when they played Tampa?

That game should not have gone into overtime and the Caps should have had that win.

Bullshit.

[MC Moot]

Guess the Ducks are out.

ESPECIALLY THE DUCKS,GODDAMN DI$NEY TEAM...:D

p.s the amount of advertising the Sharks have on the ice surface is a joke...(n)

[abcdefz]

Real estate is expensive here.

But, yeah.

the 3rd quarter...hehehe...:D

[cookiepuss]

oh yeah...hah. 3rd period. right?

[jackrock]

Yes, third quarter out of three.

Tough game last night. It's ok Moot, we still have the Habs, who are 4-0 against philly in the regular season. Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah.

[abcdefz]

Go, Sharks.

:D

[abcdefz]

Sorry -- you are moot, therefore your cheer and any other form of encouragement is moot as well.

Awkward, I know.

[MC Moot]

it's my burden,it's my blessing......:(

[abcdefz]

Not to throw in the towel too soon, but it looks like the Sharks are kinda fucked.

More than one article in the paper today referred to bad ice at the arena, and "We can't blame the ice" etc. etc.

Um... logic says both teams were skating on the ice, no?

Damn, Julie. Damn. Damn.

Penguins are doing great, though.

[MC Moot]

Detroit advances...(y)

Montreal and San Jose locked in strangle holds...(!)

[abcdefz]

Yeah, I think we're kinda fukt. We'll see.

[jabumbo]

kind of a let down to see the pens loose their first game of the playoffs. malkin was totally flustered for the first time and his penalty shot attempt was awful.


thats okay though. its gearing up for an all pennsylvania eastern championship!

[jackrock]

Halkin better not start tomorrow. He's a good goalie, but has very little playoff experience. Price needs his head on straight, can't blame him though, that's a lot of pressure to put on a young rookie.

On another note, Umberger just may be the most annoying hockey player in existence.

Anyone know what the record is for most consecutive playoff wins?

[jabumbo]

On another note, Umberger just may be the most annoying hockey player in existence.

Anyone know what the record is for most consecutive playoff wins?


yeah, umberger is a local guy so its bittersweet to see him do so well against the penguins....


as far as streaks go....

the canadians went 8-0 a couple times back in the days when thats all it took to win the cup. the oilers went 16-2 as the best record in the modern era.

but the pens won 11 straight to win the cup in 92 (breaking chicago's streak of 11 games) which stands as the most consecutive victories

[ToucanSpam]

Wings slaughter Avs, suck it.

8 down, 8 to go.

[adam_f]

If you're not watching the Pens/Rangers game on NBC right now, it's about to go into overtime and the Pens have a powerplay so watch it! Fucking awesome.

[jabumbo]

pens vs flyers eastern final.


man is that going to be a crazy series. the pens better punch umberger in the face right off the start

[adam_f]

It's cool Umberger is from around here, but at the same time, I hope he lacerates his spleen too.

[Praying Mantis]

Lets go FLYERS!!!!!! This is going to be a nasty series.

[MC Moot]

Well, A-Z,it looks like we can both pull for the Motor City now…:D

You just know that, as an honorary Shark, pretty much none of my teammates are going to offer any retribution... :D

[Praying Mantis]

I wonder how many dives Crosby will try in the series. Also, im assuming he will whine about 2x per game.

[DIGI]

Crosby's gonna dive into your mom's asshole. Penis first.

[Praying Mantis]

I believe Thats a 10 minute Major and a game misconduct, isn't? Then Umberger will score!!!!!!!!!!

[jabumbo]

do you really honestly believe that diving shit, man? i mean, really?

[ToucanSpam]

Shittsburgh in 7
Red Wings in 6




Oh I hope we get the Penguins in the final, free Stalney Cup!

[jabumbo]

i like how you just discredit a team because you have some sort of grudge or something. never mind that they were one of the best team defensive teams in the league, their goaltending the last 2 months was only matched by that of the rangers, their power play and penalty killing have both been phenomenal in the post season, oh yeah, and they have a couple of the leagues biggest offensive threats.


if a team that finishes 2nd in the conference even while losing so many games to injury around the board is a walkover, then i want to know what kind of hockey you've been watching all season

[jackrock]

Hey, Detroit fans... SIT THE FUCK DOWN!

[jabumbo]

Hey, Detroit fans... SIT THE FUCK DOWN!


they shouldn't have a problem finding a seat since half their arena is empty every night (n)

[Praying Mantis]

Pens Played a great game. Its a shame that Flyers are down 2 defensemen.

[ToucanSpam]

Break out the brooms.:cool:



Jabumbo relax. It's all in good fun.

[ToucanSpam]

we have ourselves a real final at hand. I predict the Wings in 5 or 6.

[ToucanSpam]

anyone still keeping up? Digi? Jabumbo?



Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, thought so.:cool:

[-T-]

Detroit FTW(y)

[abcdefz]

I really didn't expect the Penguins to get stomped.

[MC Moot]

Watching the game last night was like watching the boy's be schooled by the men again...experience,experience,experience...1/2 the Pens can't even grow a playoff beard...:D

[jabumbo]

that game last night was so intense. i don't think i have ever been inside someplace that loud before.

the only real crum part about the game was the fact that the ref's swallowed their whistles the whole third period but then decided to call a real weak one with 4 minutes left. i mean, if you're not going to call stuff then fine, but don't go and call something like that at the end of the game after you passed up on plenty of other calls on both sides.
