JeRambo Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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.

obfuscator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 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)...

Randox Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 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 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 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.

obfuscator Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 True...but I still think they could have kept ryder at least.

Hamtaro Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 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.
