Stanley Cup Picks

what happened? do tell!


edit: are you talking about Ovie watching the Rangers morning skate? 
Bruins up 3-0 and i dont suppose they're about to lose one anytime soon. I now expect a sweep. Which will give them some rest.

with any luck, Julian, Smackie and I will all be sitting in the 3-0 catbird seat by the end of the night, eh?

Aside from Varlamov looking phenominal, if the Caps keep doing what they did last night: Crashing the net, passing the puck, cleaning up shots in the goalmouth, keeping Lundquist off balance, OV playing a supporting role, the Rangers don't have a prayer.

Also helps to have that fucking jerkoff Avery destroy his team. RACK THAT. Although Erskine should have put him in a headlock and ripped his fucking dome off the moment he turned around to confront Varlamov and the puck was on the other end of the ice. It's 4-0. SACK THE FUCK UP AND RIP HIS HEAD OFF!!!!!!!

I'm not exactly jumping to pick the Ducks in the Streak tonight, but I am surprised that 93% of the people have picked the Sharks.  Maybe they haven't been watching the same series I've been watching because the Sharks look completely baffled right now.

I think SJ will win tonite. I don't see them going out in 4. Then, after winning game 3, they'll exhale and go back to being the Sharks and Anaheim will head back to SJ up 3-1.

I couldn't agree more…Well said!!!
  Well, so much for the Blues. And hopefully the Habs too, tonight.

  Its funny how on Monday, the Capitals faced a must win situation and now it seems the NY Rangers are facing one now.  I realize the Caps can only tie the series tonight but, in reality, they are the better team and you can't give them momentum going home like that.  I say whoever wins tonight, takes the series.

  and Montreal is booing the Star Spangled Banner again. how does this make it into the news every single year!

  its only a matter of time til they start booing O Canada too.
fleury was great last night

  i know man. I was never too scared of Pitt cause of their crappy goalie.  Lets hope its just one game.
fleury had a mediocre regular season, but the whole team did to be honest. i'm not sure what to expect this year out of the playoffs, so i am just enjoying the ride

but he was awesome in the playoffs last year. if anything scares me its the penalty kill. and letang taking penalties in the first 30 seconds of power plays
The Sharks last power play goal robbed us of Free Hockey.  We deserved OT.  That hooking call was all stick, no body.

Either way, the Sharks deserved the victory, but I wanted Free Hockey.
Oh how sweet it is! 3-1 Baby! 1 More to go! LETS GO RANGERS!

We'll be waiting…..
Apparantly the Caps aren't playing playoff hockey anymore. No one screening Lundquist and no one crashing the net. If I see one more shot from the top of the circles/high slot (*cough* OV *cough*) I'm going to blow a fucking fuse. Dear Mike Green: If you get the puck at the point and have a wide open tunnel towards the net, SKATE TOWARDS THE FUCKING NET!

Someone please take a run at Lundquist, too. Dude plays without fear of anyone coming with in a hemisphere of his crease.

I'm beside myself right now.

  i wouldnt mind! considering my Bruins play him next. haha.  To be honest, it makes me mad cause Vs. blacks out the games for me, despite living in Baltimore and being unable to get them any other way.  So i cant really comment on the series.  nor can i feel comfortable with knowing if the Rangers are really playing that well, or if the Caps are just pulling a Sharks.
you dont get comcast sports net?

well, i have Dish Network and in baltimore, i  get my RSN which is MASN, not CSN-MA. i could pay extra for it, but i found it was still blacking games out (and its not worth the $5.99 a month extra). Even with Center Ice, it blacks out all Capitals games. 

My perception of CSN has taken a serious dive with this playoff series. I noticed how the broadcasts are very low quality (lights look dim, colors and definition aren't as crisp) while the highlights on Versus are almost hi-def crystal clear. Very disappointing. Like almost watching a MASN broadcast. I'll take what I can get, but it pisses me off that Versus is blacked out and has a much better quality video broadcast.

What do I care? The Caps won't be playing after Sunday anyway.
