NHL Playoffs Thread...

disagree that there is a trap of any kind. big difference between fast, talented forwards making it back to help on D and the jacques lemaire trap of the mid 90s. in these games the puck has been moving zone to zone pretty quick. love the elimination of the two-line pass rule.

The only downside to Cup #11 is that it has to be won against a second or third-tier team like the Pittsburgh Porcelains. What an embarrassment to the league.

Sure hope you Pentards enjoyed trading your next few seasons away to have your players crap their diapers and your coach do his best blubbering vagina impression.

We stopped being classy when Shittsburgh banned MI residents from buying ticketmaster tickets.

We got over it because we got Konstantinov out on the ice pretty quickly, but you're right. To be honest, #10 was a pretty terrible opponent too, but I can't get down too far on any team with Ron Francis.

I was working on my Michel Therrien impression.

Speaking of crap, the TV rights have to be taken away from NBC aka the Nothing But Crosby network.

Their website even blows, on their main hockey page article titles with:

Crosby = 18
Zetterberg = 7
Osgood = 5
Malkin = 4
Holmstrom = 2
Datsyuk = 2

And Milbury is the biggest tool of all the announcers.

I pray nightly for a Wings/Pens final. If the Pens can win a single game it'd be one of the most shocking accomplishments in hockey history.

At least we got to see one of the "most shocking accomplishments in hockey history." :roll:

I bet you have all these in your closet too:
Yankees hat
Duke jersey
Lakers wrist band
Cowboys tank top

I don't like any of those; I'm from Detroit.

I revel in their terrible-ness. I don't know what I'd do with myself if they were actually decent.

Yes - you'd be quite intolerable with a good Lions team + Pistons & Wings.

I'm finding it hard to dislike the Wings still (except when you make probably drunken celebratory posts like the one way above ;) )

Zetterberg exemplified the team best with his immediate post-game comments after Sid was yelling his way.

I can handle the Pens losing to this team. Tho I'm hoping for some drama tonight.

not playing the wings very often certainly does not generate much heat going into the series, but at the end of the day the wings play good hockey. they dont over rely on a killer defense or offense, they always play the same plan and they skate their asses off. kudos to them, the wings are good for the nhl

i realize the wings are good, great even, but I have had just about enough of non wing fans praising them, we are supposed to hate the wings, get on board

If its of any consolation, the Blues made great strides this year and are alot better then their record indicated. They'd have made the playoffs in the East.

I just hope they continue it next year, I think the entire central if not the entire Western conference would have made the playoffs in the east

Probably, but no one on here wants to acknowledge that.
