Foo - Stanley Cup playoff time again:fight:

As requested by Mr. Pcad,It's a hockey playoff thread this week. Our Bluejackets are out as usual.
Will anybody be able to stop the Evil "Ove" and the Capitals?

I'm hoping the Redwings are one and done for starters.We've had enough of them to last us awhile.

huh hockey? :)

:p

Don't dispair neighbor,maybe Ty Domi will return as a Leaf coach:)

Evidently it is some kind of sport that is played on ice of all things.
It was described to me as Ice Capades on meth.

"Miller Time" will win this series.

Go Colorado! I don't keep up with the rest of the league, just my faves, the Avs.

I hope so. I H8 the Leafs.

We're the farm team(Lake Erie Monsters)here in Cleveland for the Avs.They also did not make the AHL playoffs.

We had the farm team for the Avs a few years back (Hershey Bears). So a few of the names are familiar :)

is that the racing sport where the driver hangs a left for 24 hours? :p

They put in walls to remind them to stay left.

Ya,that was pretty cheap.
"Miller Time" will still pull the series together for the Sabres.You've got to admire the tenacity of this guy for his short NHL career.

You know Barry Melrose's saying about playoff time?
"The team who can play through the most injuries will win."

I will do my best to cheer for, in this order

the canadian teams
when/if they get wiped out
the most canadian american team (ironically, I betcha most american teams have more canadians the canadian teams)
and if all else fails...
the most violent team

if two "euro" type teams make it, I will cheer for the refs to screw the pooch...

I guess I see your biased view.
Sort of like if baseball,football,basketball teams gradually moved north.

God I wish football would come up here. I am stuck watching Seattle...a giant meh moment. And west coast coverage of teams I like is non existent. But ya a canadian team would be ironic since it would be 99% to 100% americans.

Okay, I'll say it!















LETS GO PENS!!

Despite the hometown Blue Jackets, I've been a Wings fan since 4th grade.

Despite the hometown Blue Jackets, I've been a Wings fan since 4th grade.

I hope the residents of Columbus hide and heel you to a barn door and put a redwing tattoo on your forehead.

Phoenix now lead the series against Detroit 2-1(looks like I'll get my first wish).
Classless fans at Joe Lewis today at the end as the hometown lumps get spanked.

Okay, I'll say it!




















LETS GO PENS!!

Mike Rupp,another Clevelander in the NHL.

Heh. I'm grandfathered in. I was a Wings fan like ten years before Columbus even thought about getting an NHL team. I do root for the Jackets as long as they aren't playing Detroit. I want them to do well for the city. And even though Canada won the gold, I think it's awesome that Rick Nash got to bring a gold medal to Columbus.

Who's the Bluejacket coach this week?

Go Sharks!

Okay, I don't even know if they're in it, but I think my residency here requires me to pretend to care.

Avalanche vs Sharks,round 1,1st period just started.
Watch the hockey game or roller skate the boardwalk in tight shorts and a belly shirt.

Sharks vs Avs, round 1, game 3, and its now near the end of the 2nd with score tied at 0

Go Colorado Avs!

So far shots on goal are 2 to 1 ratio in favor of the Sharks but I,ve seen the lower shot team win on many occasions.


*Friggin shooting gallary at Anderson in the 3rd.

Whew, tied at 0, going into overtime. I'm gonna have to go to bed before I hear the end of this game (no TV... listening online)

No you wouldn't.
We just had another Cleveland Brown arrested this week and training camp is still aways off.
That sport attracts a lot of bad elements.

Winning goal for Colorado scored by...the Sharks. ARGH!

Just watching this on the news... an own goal in overtime?

At least the Avs won :D

Are you telling me what I want Spry :p

Sad overtime.
Shark player put the puck in his own net while passing out of the left corner.You know the sports networks are going to ruin this poor guy.

Already calling him "Wrong Way Boyle" (http://www.mercurynews.com/sharks/ci_14912148)

You're correct.You need to buy season tickets for your own NFL team in Vancouver,but would you have enough felons to fill the roster up there?Your football fields are 10yds. longer so the average player would want an extra $300,000 per year:).There is also the language barrier to consider.
What amazes me is that the Browns still maintain many season ticket holders while consistently putting out a bad product for the last 10 years.They contribute nothing to the betterment of this s--t hole of a city(Cleveland) except to raise our property taxes(the whole county) to build a new stadium most of us can't afford to attend.

NHL players start their sport at age 5-6 years,have a much lower rate of mental/behavior issues,and are more consistent in their skills.Better investment for my entertainment fund.The Hockey Arena District in Columbus has prospered as well as the surrounding businesses and this is a lower ranked team.

Language?...does everyone speak spanish or something :p

And I would LOVE to see our fields reworked to nfl sizes, don't forget 12 yards wider...damn field...f-ing huge. And most of the length diff is in the end zone...I hate watching end zone passes. Horrible fields.

Ummmm...TO Maple Laughs come to mind. :p

Ya I saw that, lazy ass goalie. Obviously the goalie was not doing his primary job, watching the puck. In this case it is 2 peoples fault, although the goal scorer will get ridden into retirement.

But you know what they say, throw the puck at the net and you will eventually score. :)

And Dan Boyle is a great d-man! I can only hope that the Sharks decide to have a fire sale when they get eliminated and get rid of him at 10cents to the dollar(that's US dollars!). Then my Devils can pick him up to replace the sorry lot they got there now. It's bad enough to lose, but to lose to the Flyers really sucks!

Don't worry, though. Without their top goalie, Philly isn't going far in the playoffs this year.

:thumb:With all these close game series I'll bet all hell plays out this weekend.

Sure hope Boyle can redeem himself Wednesday,no player needs to lives with that.

LOL Miller time, Johnny Boychuck just did a real nice hit on Ellis. Sent him to another world. Series tied and game 3 tied right now. GO BRUINS!

No Miller Time this game,2-1 Bruins.

Well the frenchies in town are up in arms about last nights game. What a pile of junk hahaha. I take heart in the fact that well over half the capitals are canadian.

Man the canadian teams are looking bad right now.

Lighten up on the Cannucker% in hockey.Yes things are changing but hockey is now an international sport that the US has majority stock in.
I have one in the family now,whats a father to do,you can't avoid them,the border is left open all day.I always viewed Canada as sort of our 51 state that likes beer and snow cones.

Back to the game:
Clevelands homeboy,Mike Rupp(Pens),is rostered in Ottawa tonight to make sure the boys mind their manners in the capital city of the Great White North.Safe to say Pens intend to take 3 wins and traditional odds are no one recovers after 3 losses.

I mock my french friends with the utmost respect. They believe the canadiens can do no wrong. We all mock the TO fans for their undying love, but the quebecers are just as loyal. Funny view point I sort of view WA and OR as the "other" provinces :D

Not to get back on this subject again, but Canadians don't consider ourselves the 51st state, so we tend to jump bandwagons to whichever Canadian teams are left in the playoffs, if our local team gets eliminated. I don't think this has anything to do with the whole "Our sport" thing, it's not like Canadian teams have only Canadian players. Same reason I tend to think of Toronto as my local basketball team, when probably half the teams in the league are closer, geographically, and I don't think there's a single Canadian on that team.

*edit - nevermind, I see the part of the original comment that you were referring to - I agree with you... I'm oversensitive up here because we're down 2-1... sorry aboot that.
