The Flyers, Maple Leafs game was a really good game, but I guess since it was 2 OT's a goal was bound to come. It's crazy that those players can keep their stamnia out there for so long. Both teams had a chance to win, because they both played very well, but Toronto just got lucky, well it was a good goal, but I bet Checmanek was a little tired, but both teams were really good.

I was at the game, pal, and the Leafs definately outplayed the Flyers. Everyone was hitting...even Robert Reichel made someone his bitch (he played awesome, btw)

What a game! Easily one of the best I've ever seen, and possibly the best I've ever been to.

I'll stick with my prediction: Leafs in 6

>Detroit down 3-0 :eek:

Yeah I didn't give enough credit to the Leafs because I was pissed. They did hit a hell of a lot more. I'm just saying that since it went into 2 OT's anyone could have won because everyone is basically tired including the goalies.

Tuckers hit behind the net! WOW.


Great game... I love the Leafs, TO, and Canada.. lol... GO LEAFS GO

Well for Flyers fans, I wouldn't be too confident that you could beat the Leafs (before game 3 even...), the Leafs are an awesome team. Flyers are good, but Toronto lives for the play-offs.

And about the Edmonton fans being the loudest, they are. The astmosphere in Edmonton during the play-offs is too good. But hick-farmers? I never even heard of Edmonton being referred to as a hick city before...

Annnd I cannot believe that Anahiem is ahead of Detroit 3-0. That would have been the last thing I would have predicted, Ducks sweeping Detroit.

[Joeiss]

They haven't swept them yet....


BUt i think they might!

Just curious,

how many Edmonton playoff games have you been to? how many Toronto playoff games have you been to?

Stu, as much as Toronto's a crazy rink during the playoffs, Edmonton just has the loudest fans. I'm not saying they're the smartest fans(knowing when to cheer and stuff) but they are the loudest. Canucks fans are retarded. They just don't know how to give their team momentum.

Stu, everyone says it. All the players (from opposing teams even) say it, all the broadcasters (CBC broadcasters) say it, referees have said it before, and most non-hockey fans agree, Edmonton fans in the play-offs are the loudest. Just from seeing the game against Philly in Toronto on CBC I can say without much doubt that Toronto isn't as loud as Edmonton was in their first home game against Dallas this series.

fair enough, man....I wasn't arguing with you

but you still didn't answer my question

OHHHHHH SNAP


Redwing's gonna get swept out of the first round!


Well, the hawks won't win anything for a long time, but this game is going to be fun to watch. I can't wait to see hockey's Yankees get blown out of the (Arrowhead) Pond tonight.


AFLAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!1one!!!1

No Leafs games for me.

And Stonecutter, I wouldn't say that Detroit is hockey's Yankees if you mean that they spend tons of money and are always ahead of everyone, but maybe you just meant they're always on top of the league, I dunno. I'd say the Rangers would be hockey's Yankees, but they never win, so... Yeah Rangers suck.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

You sure about that?

Going through the rosters, lets take a look at the Shoe in/On the bubble hall of famers and for the yankees some of the really good young players.

Sergei Fedorov*
Igor Larionov
Steve Yzerman*
Luc Robitaille
Brendan Shanahan
Brett Hull
Chris Chelios
Nicklas Lidstrom*
Curtis Joeseph

Roger Clemmens
David Wells
Mike Mussina
Andy Pettitte*
Mariano Rivera*
Derek Jeter*
Alfonso Soriano*
Jason Giambi
Bernie Williams*


The players with the *'s are the only players who have played their entire careers with their team, and that's still not a very good measure because the Russians on the Red Wings were bought out by detroit after the fall of the soviet union, most of them would still be playing in "home country"

[Null]

still unclear of what you mean by hockeys yankees tho. you need to clear that up.

Chris is right tho about the money thing. Rangers have the highest salary or most spending or something. i forget what it is exactly but i know its been said a few times recently. rangers spend more.
detroit is Number 2 in that catagory.

Also. cant say im upset about my wings. i support them win or loss. but its hard to get upset when you already won the cup the year before. colorado fans or devil fans maybe could agree on that one. you need that hunger to want the cup again to try and win it. thats why repeats are so hard. Go Wings. we be back next year.

*wonders if he shouldnt of been making fun of flyers innability to score last year tho. * hehe

[Perfect Stu]

Holy crap. That Leafs-Flyers game last night was UNREAL. Bad break that the Leafs lost, though

This is one of the better playoff series in recent history...

GO LEAFS GO
