Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

21? lol. talk to me when you get over 40 years without winning. then maybe i'll agree its time.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

21 years for four teams...so technically you could say that it's been 84 seasons for the city, I guess really only 27 years for the Flyers..we're getting there.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Whats all this Flyers stuff goin on? I dont wanna get a strong cult of people hateing me here, but im a Die-Hard Canucks fan, yes Bertuzzi punched moore, so what, all he did is get penalty's anyways. The Canucks are one of the most underrated and overlooked teams in the league, So enough of this Philadelphia is gonna win the cup, Cuz the Canucks are bringin it home!!!

Again......Loyal to VAncouver........Youre Crazy

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

i know im a LITTLE late for replying for this but it pisses me off that this was taken as severely as it was. Yes the shot was cheap, but Berts out for a good year and a half, and moore will be back in time for the playoffs...Hardly fair, and i saw that last night Marty Turco high sticked a player in the face, blatently... and only got 4 games, and hes a repeat offender. It was just blown up so much from the media, and because it was Bertuzzi. I am though a big fan of his, and his hitting steve morre doesnt change that, hes still a good hockey player, stupid but good

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

First of all, don't triple post. You could have easily made all of your points in one post.

Secondly...Yes, Bertuzzi is still a great hockey player, but he made a really bad mistake, so he's paying for it...It's all about the severity of the injury basically. Of course the intent wasn't to break the guy's neck, but that's what happened so he has to pay for it big time.

Moore is not going to be back for the playoffs, no chance in hell, they still don't know whether he'll be able to play hockey again...Not sure where you heard he'd be back, but it isn't happening. Here's the most recent ESPN article..http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=1766245 He just got out of the hospital today and has to wear a neck brace for 6-12 weeks, I don't believe that you can play hockey in a neck brace.

Plus, I dunno, I love the Flyers. Honestly, I don't think they'll win (Goaltending is the issue once again...), but I always hope that they do, that's what being a fan is about.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Typhoid, you are an idiot, lol.

And Leafs will win it this year. :)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

In a Newb at this so ill start bein less of an idiot and not post multiple times.....and no the Canucks arnt gonna win it.....but ill die before the leafs reach the finals

(dream finals matchup: Canucks vs. Leafs)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

huh. planing on dying soon? why would that be your dream final match if you wanna die before the leafs reach the finals?? you wouldnt even be able to see the finals! :p


wings leafs final. ;)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Wow......lol......actually i would rather die than hear Don Cherry talk about how the Leafs won the cup....and sadly i can tell that either the Bolts or the Av's are gonna win it, based on skill(for the Bolts) and payroll(for the Av's)

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

lol. you um...lol. just lol.

payroll doesnt win it. and avs i predict will have a deep offence but a lower defence, and i kinda can see thier goalie chocking in the playoffs if he has a bad game.

but possible.

lightning are by far not the most skilled team, theres a couple in the east i'd consider more skillful, and a couple in the west. But what they have going for them is they worked DAMN hard to get there and some great goaltending.


neither would be in my immediat prediction of finals tho. i see a philly leaf finals in east.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Why is it that i am the only person here who sees a chance....albeit a small one for the Canucks?

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Any team has a chance. make no mistake of that.

But no bertuzzi in playoffs really hurts them.

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

You're the only one hoping for them to win, so nobody really has much to say about them since we're all fans of other teams and we like to say that our teams will win. That's all really..

Go Flyers!

Re: Here comes the NHL Playoffs!
 

Well, I'm back from a month in mexico. I was in my hotel room watching some CNN when a little caption on the bertuzzi thing buzzed across the screen. I didn't really know what happened and i didn't have access to competent internet services.

So ya, i've been in the dark all this time. From what I heard Moore wouldn't fight so Bert skated after him and punched him in the head and stuff. I also heard that bert fell on him after..so which one broke the guys neck.

I agree Bert should be out for the year. I **** hockey and it stuff and the canucks are my fav......but I still think he should be gone for a bit.

I hate how this is going to affect bert throughout the league though. There's just as cheap shots thrown atleast once a week but he was unlucky enough to break the dude's neck. I mean, the league doesn't want this thing happening so they set the instigator rule but then don't enforce it? It's a bitch.

I'll have to download a video clip of it before i can really comment on the actuall incident and stuff...but it seems kind of ironic. A hit that could easily have been just as or much worse was ignored by the league COMPLETELY and then they jump all over this. Bert isn't some crazy dirty player. He has a temper and he's a big guy, but the get's more rap then he deserves. If he was in any other city like Detroit or Toronto people wouldn't be so harsh on him. It's a pitty to see him being booed in many of hte other arenas just because he's such a dominate force on the ice(although this year has been the ****).

Well, I can't say bert will be missed much in the playoffs. Sure, he could easily be the deciding factor in the games but he hasn't pulled his weight at all this year. He doesn't have the same fire and intensity that he had before this season. It'll be a chance for other guys on the nucks to step up and fill his role.

I feel sorry for Moore as well. Damn, you make a mistake by hitting the league's best player and bam, your neck's broke.

aight...this is kind of depressing.


and **** Gary Bettman.
