The NHL Playoffs Thread

[The Blue Tory]

Can you post your hockey playoff talk in here instead of the playoff pickem please, that way it can be kept strictly to the pickem.

Btw Leafs will pull together and cut the sloppiness and take game 5 and 6

[UnluckyLove]

Go me!

[JGallagher]

My thoughts on the situation!! Any one that goes for the Montreal Canadian or the Ottawa Centers!! BANNED!! Talking dirty!! It is now allowed!!! There is only one team that matters and it is the Toronto Maple Leafs!!!!!

[M. Ward]

Montreal all the way (if i didn't my dad would kill me)



Go me!


Yeah..Im a leafs fan because my dad would kill me if im not. Im from Montreal..I don't think they'll want me back. :p

[Aprile]

I'm an Aves fan... always have been. always will be. I'm a diehard fan.. unlike many leaf fans...

[sailor_baby]

Honestly, I'm all for the leafs......
But I'd rather that the cup comes back home then go anywhere else.....or that the cup at least go to an original team.......pretty much meanng either detroit or toronto:D

[Nitrane]

Look for Matt Stajan in the lineup tonight for the leafs. He had an excellent year even though he only played for a part of it. If Nieuwendyk doesn't come back for tonight, I think they shoud break up that line with Ponikorovsky and Antropov. (the skyline) Why? Antropov has taken way too many dumb penalties for a successful round 1 in the playoffs. Here's hoping the leafs can pull of a W tonight, its a huge game... we're now best 2 out of three

About time they put in Stajan... We 'Saugans been waiting for him to play

[M.Gagnon]

Habs won!! 5-1!!! yea, blues are out!yes!, time for boston to leave too!

[grass_roots]

Habs won!! 5-1!!! yea, blues are out!yes!, time for boston to leave too!

amen to that

GO HABS GO

We're takin them down tommorow in Montreal and we'll hound it to them in Boston. La p'tit Theo is at the top of his game now, Koivu is wakin up, and I got a gut feeling that Ryder will get rid of his rookie jitters and play big in game 6. They've dominated the last 4 games no questions asked, now it's time to dominate the next 2!!!

the HABS in 7, you heard it here first!!!

[condor888000]

Leafs are goin down!!!!

SENS IN 6!!!

[2659HANSON]

My thoughts on the situation!! Any one that goes for the Montreal Canadian or the Ottawa Centers!! BANNED!! Talking dirty!! It is now allowed!!! There is only one team that matters and it is the Toronto Maple Leafs!!!!!
SO TRUE!!! GO LEAFS!! THERE GONNA WIN TONIGHT!! GAME SIX WILL BE 4-2 LEAFS!!
GO LEAFS GO!!

[sailor_baby]

I say we get a poll on here and pick who we think's gonna win the cup or at least go to the finals......realisticly of course.....

I'm hoping for the Leafs and Wings at the finals.....

[Fufu_65]

i know i';m going to get shot for this...but honestly does it matter who wins..as long as it's a deserving team!?:p

i really don't care who wins..but tonite in the leafs game watch for a shoe flying onto the ice..my friend is going and he's going to throw his shoe...weirdo :rolleyes:

-SS

[condor888000]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? SENS ARE GONNA WIN 4-2!!!

[gunnerstoker]

I am very worried for the Canucks. They are having a very hard timem trying to score goals. Only 2 regular strength goals well really only one cause the first one they had another person for the delayed penality. They just aren't playing as good as they can.

GO CANUCKS GO!

[Lil Lightnin]

Here's the way I see it from a non-biased Oilers fan.
The Leafs/Sens series is too close to call right now, HOWEVER, since both Sundin and Neuwendyk will not play tonight...I therefore give the edge in game 5 AND the series to the Senators.
And Flames in 7 too.
Habs, unfortunately, are not going to make it.

[AmandaW]

GO LEAFS GO!

[GoGunz]

GO SENS GO
I have said Sens over the leafs in Six...I am sticking with it. They have lost their team captain, and he will be out, most likely, for the rest of the season, because even if he doesn't need surgery to "fix him", leafs won't make it to the conference finals, which is how long they predict it will take him to heal... ;)

The good thing about the leafs though is their depth. Even though the leafs lost their captain, the rest have/will step up. It's been shown before. Like two or three years ago, the leafs had soo many key players out of their line up, including the captain, they still one teir series and only lost to Jersey (who one the cup that year).......You don't se Ottawa or most of the other playoff teams able to do that......once their key players are gone, they pretty much lost their games......so don't underestimate the leafs just because they don't have three key players.......tehy have plenty more.... :D

[Lil Lightnin]

scratch my last post... Neuwendyk is playing.

[sailor_baby]

scratch my last post... Neuwendyk is playing.


and it's good he is.......amazing speed that guy......

[Gunner Pyza]

Leafs won with another shutout 2-0, Sens didn't seem to really want to play. Even though I am a leafs fan I'm debating if they will win this Sunday at the Corel...

[Lil Lightnin]

With that win the Leafs will take the series.

[The Blue Tory]

keep in mind Toronto's recent record at the Corel Centre... It's not like Buffalo or anything... Toronto has slight edge

[chrischu]

I know that the Leafs aren't as good as they think they are.

Sundin is only listed as day to day with what is described as a left leg injury. Surgery? Where does this info come from? By analyzing the replay, its quite easy to discern that its nothing more that a sprained left ankle. I predict he could be back as early as game 6 or if needed game 7. Stajan had a strong game out there tonight... he has quite the rookie year going.

[Gunner Pyza]

Nolan is also going to be re-evaulated today, so he may be able to play this game or the seventh.

[Nitrane]

As excellent as that sounds, didn't Nolan tweak his knee? I though that his injury had him sidelined for up to three weeks, its only been like what ? 1? 1 and a half? Id be surprised to see him at all in the first round. Whats your source?

[sailor_baby]

With that win the Leafs will take the series.


way to change your view:P....lol



I have said Sens over the leafs in Six...I am sticking with it.

Doesn't seem that way now does it.....:P.......just playing........I'm a leaf fan, but I admit, their not out of the woods yet....The sens are gonna be playing pretty hard, so the WHOLE team has to show up sunday.....not just belfour.


I have a theory that you can tell who's gonna win and what type of game it's gonna be from watching the first 10-15 minutes of the first period.... :D :D
I'll think I'll put it to the test :)

[Nitrane]

No offence, but I disagree with that. many teams in the League this year have come back when down after the 1st. You have to stress the fact that you're playing the whole 60 mins, not just 20. Pace of the game shifts with each goal. Especially those late period killers. In order to win tommorrow, Toronto needs a strong 60 mins, something theyve been unable to do this whole series. So far theyve played lousy one or more of the three... and you're right dont just expect the sens to just roll over and die either.

Oh I understand that I've played hockey before and I do understand that you have to play the whole 60 minutes.......but it's just a theory of mine......

I too have played hockey... maybe theres more to this than meets the eye... your theory is warranted, to me anyway. Accordingly, lets hope the leafs look like the team to win in the first 15 min of play.

[The Blue Tory]

WOOHOO!

I am in the process of watching the 3rd period of the 2nd game of 3 CBC is showing today

9 hours of hockey tonight

OH HOW I LOVVVVVVVVVVE THE PLAYOFFS!!!

[The Blue Tory]

Very impressed with Calgary... their fans completely support them, they have a loud saddledome and they were almost louder than Arden during the anthem

[Nitrane]

Yeah but can they win a series? That remains to be seen. This is a totally new experience for that entire team. The hardest thing to do is to eliminate your opponent.

Nice...woulda been better if the oilers made the playoffs as well....CBC would be extremely busy...lol.....btw, does anyone know what happened to the habs?!?!?!I'm pretty sure they played tonight, but I don't know how the game went

[Nitrane]

habs 5-2. Theyve got to do something about that Thornton line...granted he has a ribs injury but blind passes and giveaways dont make for successful playoff hockey, whether he's the captain or not. If he wants to lead by example, he should sit and heal and let someone healthy play on that line which otherwsie would be dangerous

right on!!!!!

[Nitrane]

right on!!!!!

But the score was very decieving...two were empty netters. I still think the habs will pull it off though, they have an intensity that boston cant seem to match, they better get up for game 7

and that intensity is pretty important to playoff teams.......look at the flames!!they got the same intensity:)

[Gunner Pyza]

....Canucks win that game...<hesitant clapping> :mad:

[chrischu]

Score! Morrison!

[K Piper]

Score! Morrison!

I had to work and miss it.:(

I got tonnes of updates from customers. I GOT MONDAY OFF!!!! Time to go to a Game 7 Party:D.

Gonna be a tough battle with detroit.

[J Hillsden]

THAT was an exciting game! I am at Quadra and was watching it with Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto AND Vancouver fans. It was LOUD!!! :D

Anyway, the "Cardiac" Canucks did it again. They almost snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory. :rolleyes:

Monday will be interesting.................................

Canucks will beat Detroit in 6 in round 2 :D

[sailor_baby]

Now this is a playoff thread!!:D.......I have a feeling though that if all the Canadian teams are gone, it's going to slow down here....lol :p :D :rolleyes:

i geuss that the sens will be golfing tomorrow since the Leafs are going to win tonight which means that there will be no game on tuesday!
GO LEAFS GO, GOLF SENS GOLF, GO LEAFS GO

[Nitrane]

What an amazing game last night. Canucks vs. the Flames. What a near comeback, what a crowd. That was just amazing, theres no other word to describe it. Too bad I fell asleep during the 2nd overetime and missed the game winner lol... when did Morrison score?

[Krechowicz]

Leafs are doin realy good. They have the heart. If the leafs get knocked out then I want any Canadian team to go all the way. Its great to have all theses people going to bars and having wings ect does alot for local economy. GO Leafs GO.

[Nitrane]

hahaha, not to mention all the crazy people who adorn their cars with those annoying flags and such. Or the people who buy official team jerseys to sit and watch the game at home. Yeah, now theres a economic boost. Yeah, I agree the Leafs do have heart, I just hope heart is enough. Game 6 tonight. Nothing can peel me away from the tv unless of course I had tickets. If anyone wants to donate, you know who to talk to... yeah right

[chrischu]

Yes... i second that.. due to the fact.. if i dont.. i will be disowned.. by my very own canuck....

I believed he scored a couple minutes into third OT....he cam out of the corner, beat the defenceman in front of the net, and that got the flames goalie (I know his name, just can't spell it) down and shot aboe him......beautiful goal, but it's one of those tha a goalie (or defenceman) should hae been able to avoid if they weren't as tired.....

[PO1_Beere]

Toronto and Detroit! If the Leafs don't get it this year, then they may never. The players are all pretty old...Belfour's really getting there (age-wise). He's still doing really well though: 3 shutouts so far (not consecutively). Who votes Toronto?

[hotwire]

9 hours of hockey tonight

OH HOW I LOVVVVVVVVVVE THE PLAYOFFS!!!

You meant 12, right?

Triple overtime... how the heck did vancouver manage to blow that 4-0 lead in the first place? Then again... calgary gave up those 4 goals.

Calgary in 7! (they have to so i can taunt my housemate when the leafs beat them in the final)

[KarlSchultz]

Man, that Calgary Vancouver game last night was killer!!!! I was at work and we had custemers coming out of the theatres for check ups on the score. I got off and went home just in time for the first overtime. about 10 minutes after the game there where police sirens going off everywhere it sounded like

[Insane Power Pilot]

Calgary in 7! (they have to so i can taunt my housemate when the leafs beat them in the final)

Well, they went 1-3-0-0 with the Wings this year, so I don't think it's very likely they're going to make it out of the west unless they play the Sharks in the conference final, and even then it's pretty sketchy. But who knows...

I thik if they played with the heart of TML, and the determination of the Habs, and continued their hitting, anything's possible....

[gunnerstoker]

I have a very bad feeling that the Canucks are gonna be gone on Monday night. They just don't have the goaltending. And once they get the lead they just play to keep it. They don't try to score more goals. If they start playing like they want to win they will.

I hope they Leafs take out the Sens tonight.

[Gunner Pyza]

I believe Calgary will beat Vancouver. Who comes ties up a game 4-4??? Calgary does. Though I think the best matchup would be Calgary Vs Toronto Maple Leafs...but I won't be holding my breath...

I can tell you who comes up and ties a a game 4-4......Toronto and Ottawa......except, Toronto got the overtime winner :D

[chrischu]

Toronto and Detroit! If the Leafs don't get it this year, then they may never.

That's the idea.

[Gunner Pyza]

1-0 Leafs in the 3rd. If Belfour gets another shutout it will be the first of it's kind. 4 shoutouts in one series. :D <knocks on wood>

[Engie]

I wass at a Cadet onboard this weekend so I did not watch the game, but I did listen to the game! What a great game! I was half asleep and then I hear "Morrison shoots, HE SCORES!!!!!!". I jumped out of my sleeping bag and started to scream! I ran to the female blocks to tell them and my XO announced it over the P.A. I went bananas!

[Gunner Pyza]

1-0 Leafs in the 3rd. If Belfour gets another shutout it will be the first of it's kind. 4 shoutouts in one series. :D <knocks on wood>

1-1 tie....going into 2nd overtime. What a good game...though not as good as the Calgary/Vancouver game. It was more of the Battle of the Goalies rather than the Battle of Ontario :P

[wen]

Last night's game was awesome, well until Vancouver won. It was amazing, 4-0 for Vancouver half way through the game and then 4-4 and finally 5-4 in the 3rd over time.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Toronto just lost!!!!!!! It's not FAIR!!!! Stupid Ottawa...

[sailor_baby]

NO!!!!!!!Sens won:(:(........this is going to be an interesting game 7 this tuesday. I still believe in the leafs though:D

Just wait til nucks with the 7th.

Really they should win. They're just overconfident and have blown the series. Should've been done in 5 if they played like they did at the beginning of the regular season. They made a big comeback without Bertuzzi, and have faired well without cloutier.

[chrischu]

Aha! I told you the Sens would win Game 6.

[J Hillsden]

hahaha, not to mention all the crazy people who adorn their cars with those annoying flags and such. Or the people who buy official team jerseys to sit and watch the game at home. Yeah, now theres a economic boost.

I'm one of those crazy people with a flag on my car. I also own a Canucks jersey. I prefer to see it as being proud of the fact that I am a fan. People have a right to choose what they spend their money on.

You and Ron Mclean hurt them!!!

Montreal 1-0 so far!!! THEODORE!!!!!!

[sailor_baby]

MONTREAL WON MONTREAL WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY HABS!!!!!!


hmmm.....might this be the year that they win the cup one again......? :rolleyes:

[marek]

Umm dont go that far... That would be an amazing conference final though: Toronto/Ottawa Vs Montreal! and then one of those three teams face Vancouver/Calgary for the cup!

[Whiff]

I hope everyone saw Montreal beat Boston tonight....I know I sure did! :D

GO HABS!!! :D

[sailor_baby]

it sux though that calgary, vancouver, toronto, and ottawa are all facing eah other......that means only three canadian teams get to go onto the next round now.....but if they were all facing different teams, and all won their respective series......that would be an amazing playoff.....:D

[Insane Power Pilot]

I don't buy that...not when they're making fun of Edmonton on Flames TV. They shouldn't even be concerned about that right now. It's one thing during the regular season, but now they're just rubbing it in. :mad:

Go Wings Go!

[gunnerstoker]

I can't believe it Vancouver scored with 5.6 seconds left in the 3rd to tie it. Overtime baby.

GO CANUCKS GO!

[The Blue Tory]

I was about to sleep... watching the final phew seconds, and bang...

Sucks if Calgary lost cause 5.6 seconds more or if Iginla's shot went in, the curse would have been broke

[Pirate]

that was the sexiest (only time i'll use that but it's quite neccisary) goal ever...GO CANUCKS GO

5.6 sec...woah...

[The Blue Tory]

Calgary Won!!!!

The Flames Cup Curse Has Been Broken!!!

What A Series!!!

[hotwire]

Bye Vancouver. See you at tee time.

GO SENS GO!

[K Piper]

I'm dissapointed. I hope Ottawa take's Command. And I hope Calgary take's Detroit out. That way I get the chance to see a Playoff game.

Calgary vs Ottawa is my prediction.

[wells]

I don't buy that...I'm not selling it :)


They shouldn't even be concerned about that right now. It's one thing during the regular season, but now they're just rubbing it in. :mad:
Who's They?

[Pirate]

I think even if the canucks lost last night, that our support for them should not die or waver, anytime it seems that something discouraging happens to them a good chunck of their fans up and abandon them just to come back when they start doing good again. That is POO. I still love the canucks, we'll get 'em next season!

[KarlSchultz]

GO FLAMES GO!!!!

I can't believe they pulled it off. I thought they had chocked when the canucks tied it up at the end!

[Insane Power Pilot]

Who's They?

The Flames, of course...

[wells]

The Flames, of course...

Well, the Flames are a Canadian team and that's how it relates. I hope it's all very clear now. :)

[lost_somewhere]

So i ahve noticed that this isn't on any of the recent replys so i am wondering what you guys all thought of Montreals mircle..i mean common they went down in history as the first team to ever win there series when they had been at 3-1 for boston....and well how well do you all think they will do now in the series with Tampa Bay?

GO HABS GO...just had to add that, cause we all know they are the best right?

[whitefang]

you mean its montreals first time winning when they were down 3-1 in their thier history right?

[Insane Power Pilot]

It was amazing, but I believed in them. :D That having been said, the official prediction is Lightning in 5. :( Also, Leafs in 6, Red Wings in 6, and Avalanche in 4, for the other games.

And yes, that was the first time they've ever come back from 3-1 to win the series.

[Lil Lightnin]

Tonights game is going to be intense.

And I think the Lightning are hot, but they're bound to trip up, and if Theodore stays healthy the Habs should be tough- same goes for the Flames. Kiprusoff is amazing.

[Whiff]

I did, I did....I don't care who wins the cup, as long as it's a Canadian team!!

And wouldn't it be great if that Canadian Team was the Canadiens!?!?! :D

[lost_somewhere]

you mean its montreals first time winning when they were down 3-1 in their thier history right?
All i had heard was first time in history so yeah i could have been the NHL or i could have been them...i don't know

[The Blue Tory]

Looks like Prusek isn't going to allow a single goal in the third period like he did in the second... Prusek will stop every shot

;)

:evil: LOL :evil:

[Insane Power Pilot]

All i had heard was first time in history so yeah i could have been the NHL or i could have been them...i don't know

As you'll recall, the Minnesota Wild came back to win from a 3-1 series deficit twice last year. This is the first time that Montreal's ever done it though.

[whitefang]

Dang, i hope ottawa pulls it together in the 3rd. If it goes to OT, then it should be fun, if ottawa wins of course

[UnluckyLove]

really? i hope they don't pull it together! in the 1st period the leafs got 3 goals...any team that lets that happen to them doesn't deserve to win.

GO LEAFS GO

Both have lied to the people of the province of Ontario! And just like Alfredsson tonight... McGuinty and the Liberals in their red will lose to the team in Blue... in this case, the Ontario PCs

[Bando Commando]

Whats the difference between a cigarette machine, and the Ottawa Senetors?

The machine has Players.
OH!
Heared that one today.

GL.

[Whiff]

One word Leaf fans... 1967. You know, the last time they won the cup! lol!

GL.

And interest rates went up!!! :D :p

Everytime the Leafs win the cup, interest rates rise at least 1%...I can't believe someone actually got paid to find that out...

[PKeenan]

lol, Hockey is huge here in CANADA so that 1% could be like 1000 people ;)

[KarlSchultz]

I think he's talking like bank interest rates there ;)

If anyone cares: My thoughts on the Leafs vs Philadelphia. (and Ottawa)

First off, Im a true blue leafs fan even through the early 90s and lates 80s, but Ive got to say the Leafs havent played one game to par yet, thats including the Ottawa series. (can you say riding hot goaltender?) All the statiscical info you can pick up nowadays points to a flameout this round against Philly. What do I say? Forget those stats... Leafs in 7, if they can churn out some good games (periods even) to help Eddie

[The Blue Tory]

Sundin and Nolan are expected back late series... so if the leafs can hold out to them, they'll be in luck

[AMothfromWpg]

TO= Belfour. Period. That's it.

The rest of the team has to pick it up in order for them to have a chance at overcoming Philly....
Not only is philly well rested, but rewatch how aggresive and hard ottawa was playing them, they should of won by all accounts.
TO is beat up by Ottawa because of the intensity... Philly is fresh and will have more intensity..

[hotwire]

This is the year for toronto. Just look at what they (in my perfect world) will have to deal with:

1. Ottawa - Battle of Ontario
2. Phily - Revenge for how many years now? They deserve to be gone.
3. Habs - The old rivalry... supposedly there hasn't been a leafs-habs playoff series in 25 years?
4. Calgary - All canadian final

Please note, this based on a few dozen assumptions.

For all you people who have just hopped on the Leaf bandwagon

LEAFS VERSION (I'm a BeLEAFer) - Originally by Monkees/Rewritten by TaktikL

I thought Leafs winning the cup was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for the Leafs.
Oh, the NHL was out to get the Leafs (duh-duh, duh-duh)
That's the way it seems (duh-duh, duh-duh)
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw the Leafs
Now I'm a beLEAFer.
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm a Maple Leaf fan(oh, yeah)
I'm a beLEAFer,
Philly Can't beat them if they tried

I thought The Stanley Cup was more or less a given thing
Seems the more effort they gave the less they got.
Oh, what's the use in Philly trying (duh-duh, duh-duh)
All they're gonna get is pain (duh-duh, duh-duh)
When the Leafs needed sunshine Philly got rain

Chorus

Oh, NHL was out to get the Leafs (duh-duh, duh-duh)
That's the way it seems (duh-duh, duh-duh)
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Chorus

Yes I saw the Leafs.
Now I'm a beLEAFer.
No not a trace
Of doubt in my mind.
Said I'm a beLEAFer, yeah yeah....

[sailor_baby]

Love the song...that'd be sweet if the arena sang that:)

[/|-Beaver-|\]

hmmmmmm if any one cares ..... i want one of the Canadain teams to win the cup this year... it would be crazy... GO canada .... or if tampa beat monteral i would like tampa to take it against an canadian team.. GO CANADA!!!:D

I dunno....sure I'd love an All Canadian Final, but I don't think Calgary will get to the finals in the west.......all the odds are against them and they only have a couple superstar players.......I think though that the Easterm finals are going to be interesting if the Habs and Leafs win their respective series....:)

[gunnerstoker]

I want the Leafs or Habs in the East and San Jose in the West.

[sailor_baby]

not liking the game between the leafs and flyers........I'm telling you......first ten-fifteen minutes......

[Flyguy]

YEAH BABY!! FLAMES WIN!!!! 2-1 OVER DETROIT!!

here is another song that i found on the net and it turned out to be true
Here's a little story, about a hockey team
Who just win the Stanley Cup, but only in their dreams

The team is from Ottawa, the Senators is their name
Soon to be inducted into the Golfing Hall of Fame
They say they'll beat our Leaf-ers, ha, now there's a funny joke
'Cause every year at playoff time the Senators always choke

So three cheers for Ottawa, a real team they are not-ta-wa
They can give all that they got-ta-wa
But the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa

Ottawa has their Parliament, and MPs in the new
And it's kind of like their hockey team--they talk a lot but don't produce
They're not the brightest either, I really have to say
When the capital of our country spells Canada with a "K"
(Hey, that's Kanata!)

Oh three cheers for Ottawa, they think they've got a shot-ta-wa
But they must be smoking pot-ta-wa
'Cause the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa

You better press your plaid pants, it's that time once again
To hear that familiar Ottawa Senator saying, "Tee-off is at 10"
So get ready for the crying, take out your handkerchiefs
You're about to get your as kicked by the Toronto Maple Leafs

Oh three cheers for Ottawa, a lesson they'll be taught-ta-wa
Hossa and Havlat-ta-wa will soon be golfing a lot-ta-wa
What the hell else rhymes with Ottawa, not a whole lot-ta-wa
There's a team we already forgot-ta-wa cause the Stanley Cup will never go to Ottawa
