We were at the game, and they looked pretty lifeless, for the most part. Just didn't seem to get anything going at all. At least I got to see the Wild debut of:

I don't have to worry about the playoffs, but the future here is looking pretty bright. The paper here today even talked about how they've essentially stocked 4 years worth of prospects into the last 2, and a few of them have fairly high ceilings, it seems.

Looks like Hawks - Yotes.

Can Clutterbuck please run Mike Smith for us?

icehog3 · 04-07-2012, 08:21 PM

Blackhawks re-signed Ray Emery for next season.

Ahbroody · 04-07-2012, 10:06 PM

friggin Sharks. No way they escape the first round.

What a finish! End games still meaningful.

May the curse of the pres trophy be on the damn Canucks

Ahbroody · 04-07-2012, 11:04 PM

didn't see that happening.

icehog3 · 04-08-2012, 10:27 PM

I thiink the Pens-Flyers will come down to goaltending, and my money is on Fleury based on his experience. The Flyers will sorely miss Grossman on the blue-line as well.

When Fleury is on he is money. Problem as of late from what I watched he has been allowing soft goals. I think Johnson played in the season finale this past Saturday. I certainly hope he steps up his game because when he is on and the offense is clicking the Pens are a hard team to contend with.

Should be a great series!

Should be a great series!

Johnson came in in a planned relief stint midway through the game to give Fleury a rest and get some ice time for Brent. He promptly gave up the tying goal, as Fleury left with a 2-1 lead.

Holy horse shoe up the a$% for Edmonton. 3 in a row!

If they can get some veteran D-man help and a good goalie, they should be in the mix soon.

Yeah wow rolls eyes. Guess they will just keep getting number one picks. There should be a limit it seems.

Geeked for the start tonight. I think the two nasty first round series are going to be pens philly and kings canucks. Pens Philly is getting the pub for the potential, but I think Kings Canucks could be much worse.

Kings a dirty team and the canucks have been known to bite, pull hair, (cant pass the oportunity to mention) dive, and love to do $hit after the whistle. I think this series could get very nasty. The Kings have no problem boarding star players. In fact I will be shocked if they dont board a canuck in this series given their recent play. Hopefully the sisters

have learned dont turn into the boards when they see someone coming like in the past. I think the Canucks take the series but not without some injuries.

A lot of people saying Hawks over Yotes and I think they have the skill advantage if everyone shows up. Problem is solving Smith.

Preds I think can take the wings. I give them the goalie andvantage. Both teams are skillbut the preds speed I say wins.

Pretty sure there is, I seem to recall reading no team can select 1st in 4 consecutive drafts but I can't find that reference so I might be imagining it.

I don't really see Vancouver-LA becoming a dirty series with lots of injuries. I think both teams are smart enough to realize that either of their potential opponents in the 2nd round are going to be very tough teams to face and I think you'll see that prevent a lot of stupidity for fear of injury hurting you in the future. I'm expecting to see a pretty boring and very defensive series.

GreekGodX · 04-11-2012, 12:18 PM

Looking at this first round I have no ability to pick teams without prejudice. So I'm making no picks other than the Wings in 6 and Jimmy Howard stands on his head

Oh and the Caps in 7 because that is my playoff team in that fantasy hockey playoff pool. Holtby for Conn Smythe trophy (for as long as the Wings win the cup though

)

Too soon yet, but he's making a strong argument for me in the 1st round

He has stepped in due to injuries to Vokoun and I forget their other goalie's name. Nevurith? or there was another guy from last season that started a lot too but one of them is on another team now.

Valarmov was their big goalie last year.

Holtby played in Hershey for the AHL team this season, and was an All-Star there.
