So, let's hear it....what do YOU think about the playoffs so far and who do you think will take the Stanley Cup home?  I want my beloved Colorado Avalanche to repeat but they sure scared me in the 1st round by barely surviving those pesky L.A. Kings...yet again! It should be quite fun to see how the road to the cup goes  :)

WHOO HOO!  Finally a hockey thread for the wonderful playoffs.  So far teams left are:

WEST:
colorado / San Jose
DETROIT / St. Louis

EAST:
Ottawa / Toronto
Montreal / Carolina

Sorry man, but I was rooting for the Kings to beat the avs.  I wanted my revenge on the Kings from last season.  And yes, I am a Red Wings fan ;D

Hey, No Problem here.  You have the right to root for anyone you want.  I appreciate your input...that is what is all to lost in this day and age....a little something called: Sportsmanship  ;)

Quoting:
Ah man, I hope the Sharks beat the avs so I finally go to a play-off game.  Hopefully I'll still be in CA if the Sharks/Wings go at it.  And hopefully I'll still be able to get tickets.
End Quote

If that happens...I have to root for the lesser of two evils...so I would root for your Sharks and be happy that you get to see a playoff game :)

Quoting:
well looks like our two teams are even on each series 2-1.  oh wait, aren't the Sharks up 2 games to 1? ;D

Not as of a few hours ago...We got home ice back...which, so far in this series, doesn't seem to mean a whole lot ;)

Well R&RF, since I know 'Puck All' about the NHL (not true, if someone had asked me what the Stanley Cup was I WOULD have been able to tell them, but not much more mind you), I thought I would amuse myself, and probably others by making a rash prediction :

Colorado to defeat St Louis in West

Montreal to defeat Ottowa in East

Colorado to defeat Montreal in Stanley Cup Final

Does that sound plausible ?

Sounds just fine to me!  Of course I can't predict because I am superstitious when it involves my favorite team, so I'll stick with my philosphy of A game at a time ;)

I like this prediction better....

DETROIT defeats the Sharks in the West

Carolina defeats Toronto in the East

DETROIT defeat Carolina to win the cup. ;D ;D ;D

I WANT STANLEY!

After the way My Avs played today....you may just get your wish....Games 6 is looming >:(

Quoting:
Sheesh, can you believe that? A 5.0 earthquake!!

What a game! Excellent hockey being played right now! Oh, except the Habs...they went down like a pile of bricks tonight...

I predict Wings/Senators final...Wings in 6...

...and if I could predict hockey successfully I'd be rich off the Sport's Action tickets!! LMAO
End Quote

It was a great game...but a friend of mine who lives Just to the north of there was pretty...please pardon the pun....Shaken but they are alright, thankfully ;)

    I was a little suprised to see Montreal go down the way they did, but that's partly why I don't predict sports...the other is I'm afraid I'll jinx my teams! Remember those losses the Broncos had to endure in the earlier Super Bowls...well, I learned the hard way, not to predict...so then they finally won the Super Bowl...back to back, at that :D So for now...as last year in the playoffs, I'll just hope the Avs win and take this stuff one game at a time ;)

Quoting:
DAMN YOU HASEK!

Hey, even though I do not care for detroit, "The Dominator" is still one of the games best ever goalies....he just had a rough game...it's more the defense' fault for allowing the Avs so many chances.  Great series though, IMO ;)

Quoting:
Back to the old drawing board.  You'd think they'd've clinched the Western Conference berth in the Stanley Cup finals at home!  Now in order for the Avs to take on the Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup finals, they will have to dodge the octopi in Detroit…
End Quote

Well I hope we can somehow do it.  We'll just have to wait and see........ :-/

Quoting:
Better luck next year.  I guess it won't be an all-ex-WHA team finals for the Stanley Cup.  Uh, did you get the license plate of the truck that ran over the Avs?  LOL…  ;D
End Quote

Yes I did...I read it as we-stllsck :X I will have to say Go Carolina because even though my favorite team is and always will be the Avs, my Second favorite team then must be ANY team playing the wings and Jack Tatum...I mean George Atkinson...sorry...Chris Chelios  ;) After all it was a touchdown and extra point, ala football, right?!

Quoting:
Man whatever JC, I've been on vacation for like the past week or so.  As far as the Canes in 4, LOL!  That's a joke!  Hey the Wings were down against the Blues by two games and they came back to whoop some ass.  It's only one game.  At the most it will go to 6 games.  

BTW,  I heard a parody of Eminems "Without Me" of the version with the wings and so on,  it was wicked tight.  The chorus went something like .... "It looks like a job for the D / somethign something / something something / it feels so empty without stanley".  I want that MP3!  One verse went something like "the best thing next to wrestling / ice hockey. the best team is the red wings".  If anyone knows where I can find it, let me know.

Hi Sagnastian....I hope you enjoyed your vacation :) As for Eminem....ask Jessica, she may be able to help you out....you know how I feel about Detroit  :P otherwise I'd be able to found out :D

hey I finally found the mp3 file to the Eminem parody song I was looking for.  I submitted it on this site but didnt take any credit for it.  The author says "Typed by Wolveroses".  checck it out sometime when it gets updated,  that parody says it all :P

Glad you found it :)...now if I ever get the soundcard on this old computer to work, I'll definately check it out ;) As for me, the sign he's holding up says it all. Maybe this will neccesitate another trip to the library for use of one of thier computers....although I hate getting to use dsl and then coming home to this slow 56k connection :(

Quoting:
WHOO HOO!  One more game and we are the Stanley Cup champions!!!  Well back to my Lou Bega parody of Mambo #5 to Cup #10 ;D :D :) ;) 8) :P
End Quote

Hey Sagnastian...I honestly want to congratulate the wings...they are the best this year...so my version goes something like this:
Gas money to drive to Pepsi center for an Avs game-$5
Learning and expressing Good Sportsmanship-Priceless ;)

Quoting:
Oh wait, did I mention that the Red Wings won the Stanley cup?
End Quote

Yeah...you may have mentioned it...I will now congratulate you and your team...I just wonder if I'd have been around last year, would you have congratulated me and My team? ;)

Quoting:
Yeah most likely, but living in CA at the time, I would have liked to see LA beat CO at the time.  But if the Avs would have beaten the Wings in the second round last year, then maybe not.  
End Quote

:)Thanks...man, your team had one helluva year ;) Again, Congratulations!
