I wasn't complaining...I was just saying. :D
Before the playoffs started, I wouldn't have known how to reply to anyone suggesting anything remotely similar to what you said. Probably with ":tf". Frankly, I still don't how to reply! Maybe ":banger" or ":xxx".

Game 7 tomorrow...can't wait!

meh. I think he believed and rightfuly so that the Sens were not a series cup contender. I am sure if he does lift the cup in the next year or two Sens fans will hate him more.

Never thought I would say this...Go Flyers!

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Fitting end to a Season of ups and downs.

Congrats to to the Flyers for wanting it more:tu

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I am speechless. Not only a historic comeback for the series, but a historic comeback in game 7. Down 3-0 in both the series and game 7 to win the series. Unreal.

all I can say is, called it!
I also believe they will handle the Habs. Provided the games are called with no bias. :r

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Pah, if any game in the NHL is ever with bias it's far more likely to be in the favour of whatever US team is involved than in favour of a Canadian team. Bettman knows he has the Canadian market locked up no matter what happens, it's all the southern US market's where hockey has questionable drawing power than he's in trouble. He can probably better market an all US team final to those markets than he can one involving a Canadian team, and that's the direction he's been vainly attempting to grow the league and game.

Might be a little different with Montreal this year considering how well he could spin the whole underdog story combined with fact that the Habs are hockey's NY Yankees, but I digress.

Bettman is pretty universally hated up here North of 49th in case you couldn't tell :r I would love to see a Canadian team win the Cup simply to hear Bettman get booed during the Cup presentation.

EPIC :D

Unbelievable comeback in every way by Philadelphia...congrats to the Flyers and their fans.

It ain't just in Canada, Geoff...Bettman is roundly booed in every U.S. rink I have ever seen him in, including when I have seen him in Chicago. Unfortunately, I haven't yet witnessed him being booed while handing the Cup to a Blackhawks captain...but I hope this might change this season.

No offense to the Flyers, but I would love to see the Hawks and Habs in the Finals...a chance to correct the biggest heartbreak of my childhood, Game 7 of the 1971 Finals.

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

I'll make you a deal, let's both boo Bettman regardless of what jersey the man that little slime ball is hands the Cup to is wearing.... thought I hope it's colours are red, white and blue ;)

I'd love a Habs v Hawks final purely for the history of it. There hasn't been an Original 6 final in 31 years since the Habs last beat the Rangers in 1979. The stats are also pretty good for my side considering the Habs have won every single Original 6 final they've contested since the league expanded ;). If the Hawks win they get to extinguish the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL. If the Habs win they notch up their 25th Cup in the 100th year of their franchise, a win percentage that only the the NY Yankees and the NZ All Blacks surpass.

Both the Hawks and the Habs have tough series in front of them, but I really hope they both make it to the Final.

good lord what the hell is this dribble.
anywho, at morning hockey and the blackhawks equipment guys are here setting up.

Got a spare ticket to tuesdays game tom.

You don't know how much I wish I could Mike....even more to hang with you than the actual game. I looked at airfare prices and couldn't do any better than $400+...just too much for my current financial status. :( Your offer is one of the more generous things to happen to me since I have been on the boards...Thank you Mike. :)

Re: NHL '09 - '10 Thread
 

Well maybe if they make the cup. :r I will make sure I have an extra seat for one of those also if they get so lucky.

I still see the Flyers taking the Habs, but maybe not. Who knows as we have seen this year, thats why they play the games isnt it.

I'm putting a kidney of eBay tonight, Mike. :)
