NHL playoff thread (non-flames games)

[Team_Mclaren]

I love hockey, and i follow every round/team.

anyone watnching the phi VS Buf game right now, holy shit OT and its super crazyyyy. Esche is on fire, the hite by campbell was insane,!!!

[Sharpie]

I saw that huge hit... Looked like it hurt.

[88CRX]

yup, great game :thumbsup:

wicked hits... great goaltending, good overal hockey. i love it!

[stevieo]

reffing was bad, philly got a way with a few too many men penalties, i saw the ref raise his hand but then ended up not making the call?

good finish by briere though.

[heinz256]

Good win by the habs. Huet played amazing in this game.

[A2VR6]

I must say the philly/buf series is one of the most entertaining. :)

[skandalouz_08]

Yeah montreal game was good, surprised they won by so much. Anyone know whats up with the Jagr injury? saw he didn't finish playing the game but I dunno what happened?

[skandalouz_08]

oh, guess it doesn't matter, NJ will probably win the series anyways

[v8killah]

Phi vs. Buf - This series is going to be the one to watch(other than your home team)

great first game.

[ronaldo]

great game by buffalo, they deserved to win

[cman]

Aw man my whole pool got owned today, one guy had the whole New Jersey line and just fucked everyone over in the standings lol
Sucks to see Jagr, if he is gone they ar done like dinner.

I was bracing for the worst after that quick goal by the Canes. It was great watching how quickly Huet managed to settle down.

I agree with you in a way, but as a goalie, Esche desrves to win more than anyone else on the ice. He was just simply amamzing today.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Oooh, 2-1 for Edmonton after the 2nd period! Could there be an upset in the works?

[buh_buh]

3-2. 1 game doesn't count as an upset, sweeps are kind of rare, even in a 1 vs 8 series. Even if they can pull this off, its going to take 3 more wins to pull off a real upset.

[cman]

I still chose Edmonton to split the series in Detroit, then lose the next 3.

[v8killah]

Good Game oil! thats how we have to play if we are going to win this series..

[cman]

Campbell destroys Umberger!!!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-fkp9qv15dA&search=RJ%2520Umberger

[Rocky]

Good for Edmonton. Hopefully they can split the Edmonton series too, that should give them a lot of confidence. And taking Detroit 7 is always a good strategy -- attrition damage and all.

[88CRX]

I wouldnt be dissapointed if edmonton knocked off detroit. One step closer to an Edm/Cal series :thumbsup: :eek: which would be nuts!

['Vic-Si]

is that how it works, the winner from 1vs 8 against 3vs6 ?
tha'd be awesome but i thought it was the winer out of 2vs7 dal and colorado?

hopefully its edmonton....but then shits gona hit the fan once one teams out

[Nissanaddict]

Fack I have jagr....freaking injury. At least I have Langenbrunner for insurance purposes too, so it goes both ways (but I'd rather have new york win since nobody else has any new york picks) So far these playoffs are kickin ass. :clap: to the new NHL.

[shtock99]

i want to play edmonton to but we need colorado to beat dallas and we also have to win are series still to so im hoping we play edmonton that would be insane

[buh_buh]

its always highest seed vs lowest seed. So the only way we can see a Calgary Edmonton series is if Dallas loses to Colorado too, or they both make it to the conference finals.

[Kirbs17]

what an insane hit. just heard on tsn that umberger is probable for game 2 :eek: :eek:

I want montreal to sweep carolina.

[ronaldo]

wow did u see umbergers face after the hit...unbelieveable:eek: hope hes ok

[habsfan]

[93mr2gt]

i think jagr hit his funny bone or something lol...dont think is anything very serious

[CasperWho]

that Campbell hit was INSANE! :eek:

[HoisinSauce]

funny how all the home team lost at home last night

[dirty_magic]

Jagr is in my pool as well, but oh well, its a fair trade to see my team kick some ass. BTW, he hurt himself trying to hit Gomez after NJ's 6th goal. Go Devils!

[Kirbs17]

the devils will sweep the rangers. period.

that tampa/ottawa series is closer than it should be. its going to be an interesting series for sure

[snipa_mini85]

Oh man, I want Ottawa to humiliate Tampa so bad, just because Ottawa has probably the best three lines in that series.

[mac_82]

Wow the Devils are killing the Rangers on special teams. 5 pp goals in game 1, 1 pp goal and 2 sh goals so far in game 2....

[habsfan]

good god the habs game is intense...up 3-0 after the first, then we blow the lead bigtime, to 3-2, 2 more fast goals by carolina so habs are losing 4-3, but then BAM 2 really quick goals for MTL to retake the lead 5-4.

EDIT: wow what a game...MTL wins 6-5 in 2OT!!

[D'z Nutz]

Holy shat! Good win for the Habs!

[Hakkola]

LOL, I thought scoring was supposed to be down in the playoffs! I'm having the time of my life watching these games. :thumbsup:

Go Habs!!!

[DelSoln]

Wow what an intense game. I hope Souray is able to return for game 3 though. They missed him badly on the PP and Rivet just doesn't have the same cannon. I hope Begin returns soon as well. Goooooo Habs!! :D

[Kirbs17]

GO MONTREAL!!!!!!!!

Anyone else watching to Dallas/Avs game? 4-3 for dallas now, it was 3-0 for colorado at the start of the period.


Holy mother of god, 8-2 for buffalo!!! :eek:


I love playoff hockey

[Moonracer]

I was watching that one. Great OT action

[ronaldo]

wow what a game!!, montreal gets a great win in overtime :D

[C4S]

What a day! :eek:


Last nite .. all series tied 1 - 1

Tonite .. all series 2 - 0 :eek:

Good for the Montreal .. however, feel bad for tghe Cane .. they have worked so hard for the whole year ...


Look at Colarado ! wow! Flames is lucky .. not playing with them!


I think Ranger is done .. no Jagr .. and Brodeur is BACK!

[cman]

Man whoever made finals the same week of playoffs is an IDIOT!
Everynight will be a late night this week:nut:
I enjoyed watching every game tonight, holy action batman! Especially compared to our home team's series.

[Kirbs17]

amazing series thus far. I definetly missed play off hockey. i cant beleive how good NJ looks. 15 straight wins or something like that now :eek:

[buh_buh]

2 wicked games in a row today. Hopefully this keeps up.

[dirty_magic]

13 wins in a row for NJ. Theyre on top of their game, and New York is done. They started Weekes hoping for some momentum but it looks like Lundqvuist will be starting the next game for them. New Jersey has never lost a series after being up 2-0.

[Seanith]

The playoffs are definitely getting interesting. hopefully montreal keeps it up and ottawa gets their shit together. no one wants to see tampa go far :D

[2002civic]

what a great start to thr playoffs:drool:

[habsfan]

another game goin into OT between the habs and the canes...

goddammit:(

[C4S]

First team done .. NY .. even Jagr is back now .. but .. NJ is just playing so well .. 3-0 .. done ..

Canes .. still a chance ....

Watching Stars vs Av now .. :thumbsup:

[snipa_mini85]

wow, two potential sweeps coming up... New York has been a disappointment this playoffs after having an amazing team in the regular season... guess i'll have to wait til next round to trade my players :banghead:

looks like whoever gets matched agains colorado and new jersey next round is gonna be in for a tough ride.

[Gondi Stylez]

GO AVS GO!!:D

[D'z Nutz]

Tampa bay just lost. Ottawa's going to round 2!

[Gondi Stylez]

WOO HOO! The first upset of the 2006 playoffs is the #7 Colorado Avalanche win the series 4-1 over the #2 Dallas Stars!

Theo made 50 saves but he is still looking shakey but if he can step it up all will be good for round 2!!!!:thumbsup:

[cman]

GO EDMONTON GO.
Today will be a glorious day for Alberta (I hope).

[habsfan]

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...and huet chokes in OT and lets in an easy goal. fucking hell.

[Moonracer]

yeah that was sad :( such a great game and to end like that...

[DelSoln]

:cry: :cry: :cry:
Gainey has them moving in the right direction at least.

[bluetek]

Well Philly got smoked tonight, and are going home early. Buffalo was way to quick, and too skilled for a rough and tough team like the Flyers.

Orginally from MTL I am pretty sad and dissapointed that the habs couldent pull this one off. Pretty average up and down season. Huet played great all year long and in the series. Souray needs to learn how to defend 1 on 1. Get better Saku.

Not that it matters much, but I think in the second round the NJD will destroy the Hurricanes. Marty Brodeur will shut em down.

Now since the Habs are out, all I got left is the good ol flames. Game 7 should be great. Im rooting for a win and a BOA. :goflames: :goflames: :goflames: :goflames:

[C4S]

Will be AWESOME 2 round for the east .. all 4 top seeds !!!:drool:

Sens vs Bufflo .. will be awesome .. Real test for Emery ..

Sad to see Montreal out .. however, good to see Canes is back too .. however, I don't think they can beat NJ .... BRODEUR will rob them! :eek:

I am hoping to see NJ vs Sens for the east Final! :thumbsup:

[cman]

I wonder when the last time seeds 5-8 all went through in one conference?
That could happen tonight out west and would be really fucked up.
I hope not though.
:goflames:

[C4S]

The problem is ..

For the rest of the west teams .. who is left that can beat BRODEUR now?? May be SJ ?

Anyway, I still think this yr, Cup will go East .. :dunno:

[DelSoln]

Haha bud why are you discounting Ottawa so quickly? Your post makes it seem like NJ is a lock to represent the East.

[bluetek]

:thumbsup: :clap: for a NEW JERSEY VS OTTAWA conference final. I think that series will be a good one to watch. Hopefully it will happen.

As for the west. I hope the Oilers go nowhere. Any oiler fan i meet is either cocky or a complete asshole, AND most of them IMO give Edmonton a bad name. and well come on its DEADMONTON.

As for all of us who are flames fan I have a question? Will any of you be rooting for the Ducks to make it through? I see it in two ways. 1) If they do succedd we know we would have been beaten by the best and we got beat by a damn good team or 2) they beat our flames...fuck em they can go to hell and are hope for a second round exit.

[C4S]

Don't get me wrong, I love to see Ottawa win! ( even I am Oilers' fan, but I dont think they can go that far ... yet .. )

Let's enjoy Playoff now! :thumbsup:

[Moonracer]

Had to retract my previous post cause the sens are not playing the devils....lol Don't know how I got that.
Anyway what the hell were the sens doing late in the third there tonight against the sabers. Up 1 goal with an empty net and in the sabers end and they didn't even try to shoot at the net. At least dump it deep and kill a few more seconds. Sabers come back and score! :banghead: Onto OT

[Seanith]

Yeah i saw the 2nd and 3rd period of that game... it was pretty rediculous to watch. It went back and forth so many times. Hopefully the sens can get their shit together.

[C4S]

That is one stupid third pierod .. and OT ..

Sens lost a game that they shouldn't ... with 1.5 mins left ... they could win easy .. if they play just a little bit defence ..

Well .. amazing that they scored in last min ..

but .. it is also stupid that with just 10 second .. all their defencemen were dreaming .. ( and the goalie )

They are such a good team in offence... but defence ...

If Flames + Sens then divided by 2 ... will be an awesome team .. :D

[Seanith]

Yeah it looks like both teams have pretty bad defence... rookie goalies too. I can see every game being pretty high scoring.

[Kirbs17]

The canes beat the devils 6-0 :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Moonracer]

ya and what about the ducks and the avs? 5-0 is even worse than the flames game 7. :dunno: There is some weird shit going on in this years playoffs.

[C4S]

Playoff .. anything can happen ...

I am sure Ottawa will wake up ( defencemen )

NJ should be well prepare next game .. ( 15 win straight then a big lost .. )


Colarado will score some nice goals by their big players too ... :)

[Vypros]

look at all the calgary games, i wouldnt be suprised if they were told to throw the games. you would watch the flames 2 nights a week play like total dominate hardasses punishing everyone, next thing you know they arent even skating properly....shit like that isnt just 'fatigue'..weve seen the flames play, but for some reason i think they were told to hold it off.

[cman]

Ok, I'm sorry but you guys and your conspiricy theories are fucking incredible. I can't believe some of you actually think the Flames threw the gamse.
This is unbelievable!:rofl:

I feel your pain man, i'm still a little pissed myself but i'm not buying what you're selling. Especially after seeing game one and half of game two against the Avs. Game one, Sakic gets one shot on net and game two so far he has had only one shot. I fact the Avs are not getting very many shots period. As much as I hate to say it, you gotta give the Ducks credit. They are playing great with awesome defence. I dunno why the anouncers are hyping their goalie so much. Sure he has had a few good saves but he is not being tested much at all.

[rony_espana]

Thats Sharks vs. Oilers game 1 was kinda crazy last night. Sharks only allowed 7 shots on goal in the last 2 periods, only 2 in the second :eek:

Same with the ducks, they only allowed 10 shots in the first 2 periods. Games are really one sided this series.

The rest of the playoff's should be really interesting......

[Nissanaddict]

Sharks and Ducks would be insane exciting. It'll be damn tight if it happens (which looks very likely so far)

[l8braker]

Damn, what's happening to the Sen's?

[kaput]

.

[HoisinSauce]

HOLY SMOKES!! the mighty duck's JOFFREY LUPUL was on fire tonight

all 4 goals scored by him

[88CRX]

Well atleast we lost to a damn good team.

the ducks are playing extremely well, 4 goals for lupul, that was great!
