So to all the hockey fans out there wat are your thoughts on the up coming playoffs.???
A. im sad that Philly isnt in it.
B. Pittsburgh is going to win the cup
C. If not Pittsburgh, Buffalo is going to win
D. Either way, Lord Stanley is coming to the east yet again.
EDIT: since Philly isnt in it. GO LEAFS GO
some how i knew ud be the 1st one to post here :D
A: yeah wtf happened to Philly
B: Go Leafs Go...come on KEEP winning
C: GooD luck Pens :thumbsup:
D: BRING THE FUCKING CUP TO CANADA!!!!!
Its gonna be exciting thats for sure. If my Leafs dont get in then i hope the Habs do :D. and it SUCKS mad balls the Oilers didnt make it :(
hockey is my religion.
Philly finally realized that hockey is now more of a speed game than the legion of doom/broadstreet bullies game. we'll be back next year, hopefully they'll get rid of Darien Hatcher. we've got a good core of young players and some good up and coming defenseman. we've got a pretty damn good goalie now in marty biron ( signed him for two years today)
with the leafs, i've always felt the leafs are to hockey what the cowboys are to football. the cowboys are 'americas team' well the leafs are 'north americas team' in my opinion. everyone should show respect to the leafs.
i think the pens are going to win it, and it pains me to say that being a Flyers fan. if the pens win the cup and the Flyers didnt even make the playoffs, that is a sad sad day in Flyer faithful land.
the reason i think the pens are going to win is because they're a young team and they frankly don't give a shit. they're playing to have fun, i dont think a lot of these guys realize how competitive of a league it is and the opportunity they have this year and the skilled players they have dont come every year. but just when they get to much of a swagger, Gary Roberts is there for a reality check. the pens have one of the most talented teams i've seen in quite some time.
if the Leafs make it, i'll cheer for them, otherwise its the sabres, i grew up watching the sabres , i live about two hours away from Buffalo.
yeah hockey is my religion to. but wat iv found since the lock out i havnt watched as much hockey as i use to. honestly iv maybe watched a hand full of games this season. which is sad on my behalf since i use to watch atleast half or more of a season. I dont know wats turned me off of it i really dont...the rules IMO are just fine. Anywayyys I wish the Pens lots of luck, those kids got heart and a very deep roster. wit Vets in there to keep them in line and vice versa. Marc Andre Fleury is playing his best hockey to date, and when i watch that kid stop the puck i just wonder how he does it sometimes. Even seeing Gary Roberts and George Laraque get signed was veryyyy nice to see.As much as i love Roberts and wanted him back in a Leafs jersey it was nice to see him go there.
Another team i wanna see do good is the Preds but since there most likely going to be playing the Flames i hope the Flames run them over. i Can see it now, Kipper just Robbin the SHIIIAT outta everyone. lol.
As for Philly it was good to hear Marty is now your starter. U guys were in need of a goalie and i think he fits the job perfectly. since Miller was stealin the show in Buffafluff land.
ive noticed that since the lockout ive started getting into ALL sports not just hockey, but i still am deeply devoted to hockey, where i live i can watch the pens games and the sabres games on foxsports and MSG its great, i rarely miss games, if im not watching them at my house, im making the bartenders put the games on at the bar. or i'll listen to them on the radio if i have to.
" The avid hockey fan might be the most passionate fan in all of sports, right there with World Cup soccer nuts.
That hockey fan will remain fiercely loyal and protective of the sport, and will keep buying tickets no matter how often the owners and players shut down a season as they squabble over cash. "
I'm a caps fan, so the playoffs don't really matter to me.
But I'm hoping for the Sharks to go all the way.
Boo Penguins.
Sharks are an underdog. Know 1 really has noticed how elite there squad is. i wish them luck, unless there playing a Canadian team then i hope these loose :D
Ya man, Sharks have an excellent team, it's a luxary to have Thornton, and Marleau centering the 1 and 2. I especially like good ol Joe, his pucking handling and passing skills are phenomenal.
But I think Hockey is definitely getting better, not quite like the mid-90s, man those years were excellent times for the NHL.
So which Canadian team are you rooting for?
well if my Leafs dont make it then GO Flames. I love this team. same wit Vancouver i hope they do well and i think they will....i use to live there so im cheering for them
as for your Sharks tho u even got Cheechoo that plays outstanding....mostly cause of Thornton and i nice to see when u guys picked up Mark Bell and put him on Joe N Johns line..VERY NICEEE! and u got Guerin so thats a nice add on and u got 2 solid goalies so i can see the Sharks tearing it up once they hit the post season, then again it looks like they will be playing the Canucks soooo that will be 1 im watching
Watch out for the Habs. They're getting hot and are always tough in the playoffs. Leafs are bad, have been for 30 years.
I don't like people that hate the Leafs more than they like their own team :stupid:Quote:

H4H your Flyers beat the Hurricanes 2nite. THANK YOU. your team is doing the right thing :D
ewww the leafs? i dont cheer for that bullshit..all about the west coast all about the canucks there amazing they got it locked this year.. i say it every year but yes this is their year
like i said ~ beware the Flyers next year. we've got half of the salary cap to go Sabre shopping with in the offseason, namely Breire and Drury who are free agents this summer.
The Cup is coming to the east, the west might be a little faster, but the East is tougher!
(ps the pens or the sabres are taking it all, just so everyone knows)
And I don't like people who assume they know everything about people they've never met. What's the matter, didn't like me posting your pic up in the forum? Idiot.Quote:

Hell, with the exception of former Canadien Mike Ribeiro I really don't have anything against the Habs at all.
Cheer up :jointsmile:
What are you talking about. I don't have a "blind hatred." I just stated that the Leafs have been garbage for 30 years; since they lost to the Islanders in the semi-final of 1978. The next time they got to the semi finals was '93, when the Habs won the cup. They haven't been close since. You may not agree, that's fine. Just because I am a Habs fan you assume I have a "blind hatred" for the Leafs. Wrong.Quote:

i hate the Rangers. with all of my being.
Better be careful, higher4hockey. Your blind hatred of the Rangers may override your love of the game. You will probably need to enroll in Atrain's 12 step program.
HOLY SHIT ~ alert the press , two Canadiens are argueing about the leafs and habs ... :jointsmile:
anyways, heres the skinny, the pens took over second place tonight in the east from the devils, the leafs lost to atlanta in OT, so they are now one point out of a tie for the last playoff spot. Nashville and Detroit played tonight making me wish that i had center ice so i could have watched it, i beleive they are now tied for the top spot in the west.
annnnnnnnnnnnd. philly is still dead last :(
Hey Perp, why don't you like the Leafs?
And I don't think unless you win the Cup you are garbage. By that logic teams like the Canucks and Senators have never been anything but garbage
Where in all my previous posts did I even say I didn't like the Leafs? My exact words were "the Leafs are bad, have been for 30 years." Admittedly, I was stating my opinion as fact, but I did not say I hated the Leafs.Quote:

In all seriousness, if the Leafs don't make the playoffs the Habs will probably be the team I cheer for :thumbsup:
if toronto wins tonight and motreal loses, toronto is in , and montreal is out.
Well, they both won, so nothing solved. It's probably going to come down to the last game. Anyway, did you guys see that guy had a heart attack when the Leafs allowed the tying goal with 4 seconds left? OT was delayed while the paramedics revived him and sent him to hospital, then they scored the winning goal. That's what I call a "die hard" fan.
go new jersey devils
perp~ i defenitely did not see that, i watched the game, but i didnt see any fan having a heartattack....i wondered why it was taking so long to start OT though....
only leafs fans...
Yeah, they changed it so there is only a minute or two between end of third and OT. Last night it took so long because of the dude.
Same thing happened NFL during last years playoffs, when the Steelers were playing Indy. When the Bus fumbled in the 4th quarter and Indy picked it up some die hard Steelers fan had a heart attack in a bar! Survived apparently :thumbsup:
