April 24, 201214 yr So Ottawa loses game six .. Don't know if they can win game 7 now. :(. I'm starting to think we'll be seeing Flyers vs. Nashville in the final, but that depends on how far the Blues are going. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.
April 24, 201214 yr I can't see the flyers making the final with their defense and goaltending... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 25, 201214 yr 3 game 7s the next two days. at least one is bound to upset the higher seed. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
April 25, 201214 yr I hope it's washington... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

April 26, 201214 yr STL vs LAK - LAK in 7NSH vs PHX - NSH in 6 "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 26, 201214 yr I'll say STL in 6 and Nashville in 7 Washington and Boston going into OT now, we'll see what happens, i'll take Brooks Laich as the goal scorer for Washington and Brad Marchand for Boston Also not sure the sens can pull off a win in MSG tomorrow night..
April 26, 201214 yr I hope it's washington...And it is! Joel Ward, finally doing something useful! "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 26, 201214 yr No repeat champs since 1998...PARITY "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 26, 201214 yr after all the crap tim thomas took this season, glad to see he's still a good goalie. his team just can't score :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
April 26, 201214 yr They had scoring issues last year too, but they got complacent this year. Add in the fact that they're missing three of their most key guys from last years playoffs (horton, ryder, recchi), and downgraded at other positions (mcquaid + kaberle) > (zanon + corvo)... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 27, 201214 yr I only just got around to looking at the Stanley cup standings (I really only watch the the final games). So apparently everyone is ass backwards this year, with all the good teams sucking the big wazoo and all the terrible ones kicking everyone's ass (except Toronto [who I cheer for so don't think I'm a hater] who just suck consistently). I'm not even convinced I have heard of the 4 teams that won the western conference (I sure couldn't have named them off the top of my head). At this point, I guess I'm cheering for Philadelphia, because I've liked their symbol/jersey ever since I was a child. Go orange team :D(Also I really want to see the NJ Devils loose even if Philly can't go on to win)
April 27, 201214 yr wish i bet on these games. i think i'm the only one w/ a bracket that had Boston and Vancouver out the first round before the playoffs started Boston reminded me of Chicago last year. Defending champions but just didn't want it enough and can't make it to the 2nd round. Plus they got worse since winning thanks to the cap. Vancouver reminded me of Washington when they won the Prez Trophy and got kicked out in the first round by a hot goalie (Halak). 2nd round is harder to gauge. After watching STL in the first round they're a lot better than I gave credit. Same with Phoenix.NJ also has a chance to upset if Kovy and Parise starts kicking because Bryz sucks. But I'm honestly disappointed with Parise. Prior to the playoffs I wanted this guy so badly on my team but he just hasn't shown he'll be worth the $7.5M contract he'll be looking for in the offseason. Maybe he does something now. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

Prior to the playoffs I wanted this guy so badly on my team but he just hasn't shown he'll be worth the $7.5M contract he'll be looking for in the offseason. Maybe he does something now. Actually, the weird thing is that Boston is okay cap-wise. They definitely could have kept both Ryder and Kaberle (obviously they couldn't have kept recchi) and added someone better than they did. But they didn't for some reason... NJ/PHI should be interesting. PHI is going to have problems soon because of Bryz and the awful defence, but Jersey isn't great that way either, so I think the flyers can take it. I've also not been impressed with Parise in quite some time... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 29, 201214 yr But they didn't for some reason... Marchand and Krejci were up for new contracts. They also had to make sure they have space for Seguin and Rask, both of whom could be offersheeted. They had to get rid of some bodies. If I was a GM i'd really consider offersheeting Rask. It just means Boston will have to lose either Thomas or Rask which is better for the league imo. Kings stealing one from STL. Quick is just on fire right now. Looking forward to the Flyers-Devs game :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
April 30, 201214 yr True...but I still think they could have kept ryder at least. Anyway...this phx/nsh series is not what I expected in the slightest, thus far... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 30, 201214 yr I've been shocked by every series this round except NYR/Wash so far... Can't believe Phoenix scored that many goals on Rinne last game. Player since 2004.

April 30, 201214 yr Yeah. How bout dem yotes eh? Would be awesome if my sleeper cup pick (phx) turned out to be true! "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
April 30, 201214 yr Phoenix up 2-0? I don't believe it. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men.

May 1, 201214 yr holy that Brown-Kopitar play was just amazing. can you imagine a Kings-Flyers final? That's just too good of a story. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 1, 201214 yr holy that Brown-Kopitar play was just amazing. can you imagine a Kings-Flyers final? That's just too good of a story.Yeah, seriously. LA reminds me of the New York Giants last season. Team that was pretty good on paper, but was only meh during the regular season, but started peaking at just the right time... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

Plus I'd rather watch LA than Phoenix. It's hard to watch the Coyotes. Quick I think struggled today but Kopitar just stepped up like he should. Richards and Carter were really good additions. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
