lol.

poor belfour. I'd hate to feel what McCabe's going through.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Seriously, both Leetch and McCabe have -5's today so far...ouch

Edit: Woo, Primeau with the trick!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

thats just a brutal game. man o man.

i blame the person who started the new leafs topic :p

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yep, that's why you should never speak too soon. I'm still worried about the Flyers a little. There is still a chance for the Leafs, but today's win was great!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

you have reason to be worried.

Many times when a team has such a high score one game in a series. they dont do as well the next. and the team that got blown away tries much harder, because they have more to prove.

I'd much rather win a low scoring game then a high scorer, (unless its the last game in a series)

however games when your team scores a lot are much better for the nerves. lol

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Ugly game. McCabe sucks, lol. Ugly ugly...

Game 6 in Toronto is gonna be crazay though.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well, That very well might of been Yzermans last game ever. :( he scratched a cornea and broke the left eye socket after being hit in the face with the puck.

he had 4 hours of surgery, had blurry vision but said it improved after the surgery.

4 min after he got hit in the game is when the wings went down 1-0, I dunno how they're going to handle this. they were obviously upset over it in the game and not thinking straight. so Wings might be put out tomorrow night. They'll have to dig deep and tell themselves they are going to win it for him. Its possible it could drive them and give them a reason for winning. But i dunno. very sad news after all Yzermans been thro.

Hope he's ok.

RE: Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

How about that.
"I am glad you find this amusing" very well might of been Yzermans last game ever ?
Makes sense to me.I get it.

?When were they?That's interesting. Do you like talking to me?
Are all They'll have to dig deep and tell themselves they going to win it for him?I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Under what circumstances?And.
Me either.Not really that much. Can you speak any foreign languages?
OK. Why do you hope for he is

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yeah, that sucks for Yzerman....

And whats up with these afternoon games? They really throw off my schedule.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

TV purposes. ESPN has Sunday night baseball tonight at 8, so they couldn't have any late games. Plus ABC was showing playoff basketball, so they couldn't do any sort of switch there.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well on the news they said he can play again. and its ''possible'' to play again in these playoffs for Yzerman. But the wings have to stay in it long enough without thier leader to give him that chance.

my worry is that with the CBA thing next season if he doesnt get to play anymore in these playoffs, he might not be around after that to get the chance.

But either way they said he'll be ok and get his vision back to normal which is great for him.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Bah... Stupid American TV means no Hockey Night in Canada.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

And what did i say...oh thats right....Burke wouldnt get re-hired...and what happens....he doesnt get re-hired...Thank you for your time.....

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Thanks cleo.

That's like saying that the yankee's are going to make the post season this year.

but yes, congradulations.


EDIT: and firing burke is won of the dumbest decisions that the Vancouver management could have made.

Crawford should have been fired before Burke. lameness.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Your a big man. You made an obvious prediction.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Anyone else keeping up with this Flames v. Wings game? Scoreless tie in first OT right now. Sounds like an exciting game (I can only get it on NHL Radio, no TV)

PS: Does it seem to anyone else that there have been almost no OT games this year? It seems like in almost every previous year there have been many more and longer OT games. I know the Flyers haven't played any OT games, and this really seems like a drought after they played three in their first series last year.

Edit: yeah, Calgary scored right as I posted that pretty much...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yup, calgary scores.



That sucks Null.

Calgary has had a great playoff run so far. Outplaying the higher skilled teams.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Nah, its fine.

Thats why i wanted wings to play Colorado. Wings are built for playing the best. they got no spark when playing the lower place teams.

When they play a lower place team nothing drives them to win. A shame but thats how it is.

Makes ya wonder how many of the older ones are going to be back next year. Which i dont mind, they got way too many top of the line players.

Hats off to cujo, Best game i've seen a redwing goalie play in a long long long time. He deserved that win.

Hopfully next year we stick with cujo. screw hasek.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Great game. Ya, Cujo played amazing... Too bad the offense couldn't give him a goal to work with....

Flames are quite impressing... Good to see them play so well.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

wings defence came to play. i forget what they have but they currently having an NHL record for most consecutive games with 3 goals or less.

defence was fine. but its the same thing it seems every year. against a lower place team Wings wont score. they just have no determination and play awfully.


Cujo deserved that game, the offence let him down.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

But Kiprusoff deserved it as well.

And Hatcher's elbow was nasty.... But I liked the constant booing after that, lol.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

cujo played it much better then kip.

as i said, that was not the wings offence, that was a tired, un driven wings offence. in which case they deserve the loss. However cujo did not.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

2-0 Philly right now, if they get another goal, Leafs are done for. :(

Edit: Nevermind, 2-2 now. Going to OT :D

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Flyers win.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Shut up.

I hate you.

I hate Philadelphia.

Go Flames!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

well, 2nd round ends tonight then.
colorado will get bumped out.

I say go lightning, they earned it.

gunna be a hard series between TB and PHI,

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Wow..I'm so happy that they advanced. The Leafs were a great team..and great effort by Sundin after being injured. TB and Philly again...what is this another rivalry in the making.....? It is going to be like the NFC Championship game all over again!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I blame this all on GiMpY-wAnNaBe.... He is one of the biggest ***s of all time.

I'm hoppin on the Flames wagon now.. Go Flames Go!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

oh yea?

well go philly! :D

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Did you even have to bring that up? :distress:

I missed this whole game due to some scheduling conflicts, but go Flyers! Lightning will be tough, I believe we were 0-4 against them in the regular season...But that's why they play the games...

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

That was an amazing overtime period, especially with all the near misses and that amazing (or was it illegal?) hit on Kapanen. The contrast in volume at the end was cool, too.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

hmmmmmm. maybe i shoulda said a sweep for tampa..

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

What was that? 4-0 Flyers tonight? Still gonna say sweep, eh? :D

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

acually i said maybe i shoulda said sweep.
I didnt say they were gunna.

And you sounding awful cocky for 2 teams that i could care less who wins out of. lol
im not rootin for either of em. so which wins doesnt make a difference.

Was just sparkin up some more talkin in here ;)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Surprising. This is very good though. I still think it will be a 7 game series though.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

How about those Flames huh.....2-0 in series....As much as i despise them, im almost nationally obliged to cheer for them and their freakish underdog ways....

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Yeah, Flames continue to be....on fire...(sorry) Sharks are in a tough position after losing the first two at home, but they could come and win the next four, who knows. But, this series doesn't matter. Bring on the next TB v. Philly game, thank you.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

I wanna see a flames vs tampa in the final.

Then have Flames win it. That would help out their franchise so much.


:beerchug: Here's to all 6 Canadian teams making the playoffs next year.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

sharks had an easy ride the first 3 in colorado. that seriously hurt thier streak. they were red hot after the first round and they got lazy in colorado. its cooled them off. They were one of the 2 best teams on the ice in the first round.

if they could find that again they'd be ok. but i dun think they can turn it on just like that.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Flyers won 3-2 today. All tied up 2-2 now. Not that I can visually attest to it, but the radio guys made it sound like the refs were atrocious. Can anyone back this up? Either way, good win, back to Tampa.
