dave-O Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Philly could really use Simon Gagne and a 100% healthy Mike Knuble (as well as their injured D) right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 This could be the most boring round of NHL playoffs I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 It's because the Habs aren't involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 That would explain the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 What happened to all the 6+7 game predictions? Third round exhaustion for the teams that weren't meant to be in the Cup Final. Let's get on with it and start the Det v Pit series. Now THAT should be entertaining.Hossa's goal last night was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tissue Man Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 That would explain the 2nd round.Hah! Playoffs blow this year, well first round was pretty good. The finals better go 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 The Finals look amazing. The talent, and systems of both teams are dynamic and flying at top speed. They are making some pretty good teams look pretty bad at the moment.I think Detroits got the edge though. And all because of one matchup: Chris Chelios vs. Gary Roberts. Chelios has his team humming on all cylinders.After all those years with cinderella teams from the west playing eventual cup winners from the South, a Lockout, and the Ducks goonery over my home team last year and the end of an era in O-town... it's nice to see a final where the two top (really, really) skilled teams meet in the finals to duke it out.There were alot of classic rounds too... San Jose, Dallas, Colorado, Detroit, Pittsburg, Philly, Montreal, and New York, Washington all made for some interesting stories during the Playoff so far.I still don't like the reffing... there should be a video ref who can make calls from a video control booth... and they should call EVERYTHING...I don't care if they play 3-3 all the time... no wait... I would... that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm excited for Det-Pitt, mainly because Osgood hasn't seen any serious pressure like he's going to see from Crosby/Malkin/Hossa he will crumble like the back-up he's always (should have) been.

SmoothedShredder Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Forsberg/Sakic/Smyth/Wolski/Stastny... It's Fleury who'll be shaking his head... then Conklin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 But has Fleury faced anything close to Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I can't remember a second and third round of playoff hockey so devoid of excitement. NBC better find some afternoon programming for this weekend (and we all know that even infomercials would draw better than the NHL, ha!), looks like there won't be any game 5's to watch.

TheSloth Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 First round there were 48 of the 56 possible games played or 86%.Second round there were 20 of the 28 possible games played or 71%.If we get 3rd round sweeps we are gonna have 8 of the possible 14 games played or 57%.Not a lot of fucking drama since the 1st round and a whole lot of crushing going on. Going by the a grading standard 1st round was an A, 2nd a B- and the 3rd a D+. Okay I'm bored at work and all this shit is pretty fucking irrelevant and useless.....uuuuuuuuhm........Go Wings I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Fuck Dallas. They had better not win tomorrow night. COme on Detroit, finish the kill already. If those Stars win again on Friday, I'm going to have to come in to work on Sunday ... on a long weekend. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. GO WINGS GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Game 5 will be on Saturday at 1:30.I willed that Wings loss last night so I could get a game this weekend...... I didn't put on my jersey at all, left the Stevie bobblehead on the mantle and did not get out my lucky puck.I think I called D in 5 so this works nicely.
