May 12, 201115 yr Meh. I do think the nucks will win whoever they play, but I don't see it being a breeze through. I think it goes at least 6 games. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 13, 201115 yr We all thought they'd breeze through vs CHI too. Any team is able to beat another on any given night IMO.
May 13, 201115 yr Wow. That was a great game. Datsyuk is epic. And Thornton showed up big time when it mattered. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 13, 201115 yr Sharks played outstanding tonight, no question about that. Van/SJ should be a long series. Player since 2004.

May 13, 201115 yr van in 5 bos in 5 We all thought they'd breeze through vs CHI too. Any team is able to beat another on any given night IMO. nashville and chicago have very good top 4 shutdown dmen that kept the sedin line quiet. i cant say SJ has that type of D :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 14, 201115 yr Sure, SJS doesn't have Suter/Weber or Keith/Seabrook, but they do have 3 very solid lines, arguably 3 top-2 lines if I am making sense. Pavelski, Thorton and Heatley's lines are very good, and they'll match up well against Kesler and Sedin. That leaves one SJS line to match up against Van's 3rd (Hodgson?). Idk who's on Van's 3rd, but without Malhotra, it just isn't the same. And, I don't like Vancouver so I like to make them sound bad in my head :P Btw Yguy, loved the Hipster Chara pic on that other thread, I was gonna post one but I felt no one would get it, except you lol.
May 14, 201115 yr Hey guys, hockey is still going? Didn't even notice. Wow what a terrible time for me to stick my neck in. RIP Boogaard, that really sucks. :cry:
May 14, 201115 yr RIP Boogard :( And yeah lol, I <3 hipster chara "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 15, 201115 yr Lol @ boston. Sucks for Kaberle though, thought he played a great game except for that awful giveaway... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 15, 201115 yr Lol @ boston. Sucks for Kaberle though, thought he played a great game except for that awful giveaway... Well, he used to be on the Leafs. ;) [/shameful joke considering I'm a Leaf fan :-# )
May 16, 201115 yr VAN-SJ Game was good. Like previous games, the Sharks flopped in the 3rd. Huge disappointment with the Sharks right... 99 FM Acheived on Friday December 26th 2008Click for my blog|Mass Effect Discussion Thread|Nation Creation/Create your own Country Forums
May 16, 201115 yr VAN-SJ Game was good. Like previous games, the Sharks flopped in the 3rd. Huge disappointment with the Sharks right...Ahh I'm torn in this series. I really want the sharks to do well but gotta root for vancouver, being canadian and all... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 16, 201115 yr I'm canadian and I hate Vancouver :P Too bad they won :mellow: same here i hate boston and vancouver and they could both be in the SCF ughhhhhhh :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 16, 201115 yr No matter which two teams make the finals now, I'm going for the West. Preferably Vancouver, though. I don't mind TB, but I like SJ and VAN better.
May 16, 201115 yr Aha and I want a VAN/BOS final. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 16, 201115 yr I'd be cool with a SJ/BOS final too though. The only team I really don't want to win is TB, only because if they do they'll spawn their glorified trap imitations, which makes for pretty boring hockey. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 16, 201115 yr Hating on the trap :shame: It's not like other teams don't trap, TB just does it so well that it deserves to get mentioned. And i'm rooting for TB because of Rolie <3:
May 17, 201115 yr Hating on the trap :shame: It's not like other teams don't trap, TB just does it so well that it deserves to get mentioned. And i'm rooting for TB because of Rolie <3:TB is the only trap team in the playoffs currently. Boston plays good D, focused but I wouldn't call it the trap. Also, TB doesn't play a true trap, and the reason I hate the trap is because it's boring. Good thing is, Tampa has enough offensive firepower to keep the games pretty interesting. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
May 17, 201115 yr Alot of teams play the trap. Why else do teams dump the puck in? To get past the trap and battle for the puck. TB just plays it consistently. That being said though, in game 1 they didn't play 1-3-1 all the time, and that was a big reason why they beat the Bruins. They forced turnovers and scored goals with a VERY DEEP 2-3 forecheck. Boston prepared for the 1-3-1 but didn't see this curveball from Guy Boucher.
