NHL '10/'11 Thread.

The Wild actually had a ceremony for MM before a game and there was talk of him returning "home" for a period there before this season as well. I actually would've liked that better, simply because he was a (Minnesota) Star his entire career.

Eh, whatever. Like you said it was up to him and he was a MI native so in that regard it was sort of fitting.

About the Bs, seriously, we can't say anything is for sure this playoffs, because let's be honest, look at BOTH the scares the Cafucks had in the two previous series. Remember? They damn near got knocked off by the Hawks and they looked like shit at times against the Preds. I don't think they are clear-cut at all. Not in the least. :2 cents:


And had the puck bounced in another direction tonight and the Sharks HAD scored...we would be singing a different tune altogether and Plasma would still be sweatin' his nuts off. The Sharks were 12 seconds away from sending back to Cali'. It would be a mistake for anyone to claim the Cafucks will route the winner of the East...

Lets not forget.. The Preds almost dusted the Sharks, the sharks shouldn't even have been in the 2nd round, they are lucky to have made the WCF's.. The Hawks were the Canucks Ghost.. The Preds are sound defensively and have a great goalie.. that's the adversity I was speaking of that the Canucks had to deal with..

To be honest with you, I am not that impressed by the B's @ all.. they are physical, and they have a great goalie.. aside from that, I can't see the B's beating the Canucks in Vancouver not even once. :2 cents: and if they can't win in Vancouver they can't win no matter how they play, just my :2 cents: but that's why they play the games no matter what.. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought the Red Wings would lose a game 7 @ home in the 09 finals. so we'll see how it plays out. Albeit If I were a betting man, my $$$ would be on the Canucks to win it all. :hatsoff:

The above should have said the KINGS almost dusted the Sharks...:eek: by the time I noticed my Type-0, my 10 minute limit was EXPIRED.

It could come down to the 'tending. And if TT gets hot and streaky ass Luongo gets cold, well....you never know. I want Thomas to make a bold statement and whatnot.

^^

Yay.

Rafalski retires for the Red Wings.

17 years to the day, the Canucks made it to the Stanley Cup finals, exactly in the same fashion. Two overtimes.

I am rooting for the Canucks to win the Stanley Cup. Isn't Samueulsson the only person on the team who has won a cup?

 

[LukeEl]

Game 6 on soon, here come the grey hairs.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

^^

Yay.

You won't be saying that when your team loses to Boston (or, dare I say, TB) in the finals.

Won't happen.

If it does, I'm giving myself license to kill you.

You've been warned. That makes it okay, right?


Boston is going to put it away tonight, right? I kind of hope they don't - then they'll have to play a game 7 and won't be as rested for the Canucks...

I'm indifferent in this whole mess but, just for the sake of giving it to Vancouver fans (rod, where are you?), I think it would be fun for all of us should they lose. Vancouver's had too much fun over the course of the last year or so anyway.

Good screen goal, TB. Tampa has come out flying.

 

[lurkingdirk]

Jebus in the crease with John the Baptist. Tampa comes out strong...

 

[lurkingdirk]

What a fucking beautiful goal that was.

:thumbsup:

Damn. If Boston could always connect like that with passes they'd steamroll everyone...

 

[Mauser98k]

Third time in this series the Lightning have scored in opening 70 seconds; they lost the previous two

 

[lurkingdirk]

I know the game is young, and that Tampa Bay scored first, but Boston is feeling like the dominant team here - the crowd hasn't been a factor at all.

 

[icerfan]

Thundersticks are so 2002 ... just sayin.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

BAWSTON.

Second shelfed goal.

 

[Mauser98k]

nice no call on a high stick to Stamkos to give Boston the lead.

to score in the first 70 seconds of 3 games of a series and lose that series is ridiculous

Yeah, that should likely have been called.

But I think that shit is happening for both teams. Not the greatest officiating tonight.

No doubt that was a high stick. I guess those are the breaks but that is shitty if you're a TB fan.

 

[Mauser98k]

referee Eric Furlatt can go fuck himself. the guy has officiated 4 games for us. in those games he has called 36 penalties. 27 of them against us.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I counted 4 bs in front of the net on that last goal. Eveyone in black should've been laying on their asses on that play. Poor defense.
