I'm a douchebag, Joe.....but I do love me some hockey....Go 'Canes!! :D

I am rooting for 'Canes and Kane in the Conference Finals! :tu :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

You can all have your dreams, the Red Wings will not be denied! Will be the first back to back champs since, well let me see...oh yeah, the Wings!:tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I agree with the Hog on his first sentence. He rooted against an original six team playing a bunch of CT exiles from the south. Their original fans were freaking Yankee fans. Good luck to both the Canes and Hawks ( but is it a bad thing if I root for a Hawk to put Walker's face through the glass?). Can't root for the Penguins. The only time that I have rooted for a team from that city was when the Steelers played the Colts.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I enjoy watching the Red Wings... but I am hoping that the "Cardiac Canes" can pull off the upset win for the Cup - assuming they can get past the Penguins. :D

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Ouch. :r

I still love you anyways, Paul. :)

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I'm thinking the Canes-Pens series will come down to what kind of job the Cane's defensemen do in the crease. Against Boston they gave up so many opportunities when the man that's supposed to be covering the crease, was caught watching the play in the corner and letting forwards have their way cutting in. We saw the same thing in the Pens-Caps series and Pittsburgh will kill you if they're left unmolested around the goal.

If they can take care of business in front of the net, Ward's playing hot enough to get that first shot. We'll see in two days. At the very least Eric Staal won't have to deal with Lurch all over him. That alone should lift his game to another level....god i love this time of the year!

No hockey sucks!

What do people do with themselves with all this free time? :bh :bh

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I wish there was a game on tonight! I am off my OT gig now, and have no computer at home!! I need hockey!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

AGreed Tom. Saturday night and no hockey during the playoffs!? Blasphemy:ss:rolleyes:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Two days of no hockey has been brutal! Can't wait till tomorrow. Time to get it on with the Hawks!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

The Hog knows that I still love him even when he is wrong.:r:r

WINGS!!! :dance: :dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Blackhawks hung with them early, but Wings were to much late in the game. This was how I believed it would be. And will continue to be. Open style of hockey is the Wings game. It was Chicago who look a little dazed and confused towards the end of the game. Now don't get me wrong I know this was only one game and that Chicago will challenge the Wings. But I stick by my prediction of a 5 game series.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Would be sweet to catch a game in Chicago but I'm sure tickets are outrageous

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Great game for the Wings tonight.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

GO PENS!!!!!!:wo:dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Wings played their game, and the Hawks played the Wings game. No way the Hawks can beat the Wings that way. Hawks only hope is to put the puck in deep and forecheck. If they do that, they have a chance. If they do not do that, they don't. I think (read: hope) the Hawks are smart enough to make that adjustment, and make a series out of it. I will be suprised if the series is over in less than 6 games.

That being said, Congrats on the win James. :)

Good luck Canes except for Walker.:wo

Let's Go 'Canes! :ih :wo

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Missed the Wings/Hawks game, but will hopefully be able to watch a little bit of the Pens/Cans game. Stupid finals and papers are all due the next two weeks.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Looks like the Eastern Conference Finals is gonna be a great series! :tu

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Where the hell is Kevin?

Your thoughts on the Cook knee hit on Cole please.

Congrats on the win. Your goalie had a hell of a night.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Damn, Pens win.

Red Wings/Hawks game 2 tomorrow 7:30!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Not happy about the hit on Cole's knee... but not ready to call it dirty. Penguins caught the Hurricanes with slow feet tonight - and made us pay. :(

Only positive I can see is we played that poorly and we were still in it. Pens didn't look like world beaters. I like our chances in 7 games. :ss

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

It will be a good series for sure. Pens looked a little off, like on the power plays, there was something lacking. Both sides sure brought the pain on some of those hits. :r

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

If the Pens goalie has a "regular" night, it's 5-2 Canes.

Congrats on the win but my money is still on the Canes.

BTW Cooks hit on Cole was worse than Ovie's. And if it would of happened to Golden Boy we would have seen it 5 bazillion times by now.

Go WINGS!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

I completely agree. Fleury made some incredible, and some very lucky, saves in that game. As far as the hit on Cole, I will say it for everyone that doesn't want to. It was dirty.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:wo:wo:wo:wo
Hawks gotta get tonights game. It would be nice going home with a split.

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

:r Hawks vs Wings is like bringin a knife to a gun fight. :r Sometimes old guys do RULE. :tu

LETS GO RED WINGS!!!! :dance:

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

Look to see more of the same tonight. Just think the Wings can do it again. Pretty sure Chicago will keep it closer tonight though. Just my :2.

Re: NHL '08- '09 Thread
 

If they dump and crash, they will have a chance. If Toews, Kane and Havlat try to wheel and deal over the blue line, the Wings will have 20 more odd man breaks and kill them.

DUMP AND CRASH, HAWKS! :D
