Stanley Cup playoffs thread

Good stuff so far, maybe harsh that the score is only 1-0 tbh.

Whats the feeling on Tanguay? Cant say he is my favourite, thought he was wanting away before trade deadline?

Hasn't been half the player in Calgary that he was in Colorado.
Candidate for moving on in the summer I'd say.

Thought so, i only really go by highlights, but the idea i get is that he would rather be elsewhere

Jesus christ, another close call, cant beleive its only 1-0. A play similar to the yams in football there

***Hibbie_Cameron*** · 21-04-2008 12:49 AM

Definetly. Sharks have been quiet so far, we all know that wont last...............

***Hibbie_Cameron*** · 21-04-2008 01:36 AM

Langkow!!

***Hibbie_Cameron*** · 21-04-2008 02:34 AM

Finished 2-0 Excellent win for the flames, all set for the decider on tuesday night

If ever the Flames needed the archetypal Flames game it's tomorrow.

Hard and clean forechecking without ending up in the penalty box to knock the steam out of them along with Kipper bringing his "A" game. Iggy coming up with another Captain's performance ably supported by first big games of the series from Juice (Huselius) & Tanguay would be enough to do it.

First ever game 7 at home for the Sharks. When the Flames do game 7's they tend to be more often done away from home.

Here's hoping.

Aye this 3am nonsens is nae guid!
I have a 9am appt on Thursday. I'd be as well not going to ma scratcher!

Actually I've never watched a game 7 live involving the Flames apart from game 7 against those "buy the Stanley Cup and dodgy decision receiving" Tampa Bay imposters in 2004 .... and we lost! Maybe best if I give it a miss!

Aye tis a pain. I might stay up as im off on wednesday but its not ideal, will see how i feel as the night goes on

I love Alexander Ovechkin

**GhostofBolivar** · 23-04-2008 06:04 AM

Well, that was a disappointing end to the first round. San Jose run roughshod all over the Flames and The Forces of Darkness get lucky against the Capitals

At least the Montreal fans celebrated their win with customary graciousness.

I think this leaves us with the Penguins as the only team I don't despise. Though for sheer entertainment value I'd quite like a Habs - Stars Finals. Imagine the hate that'd generate

Thanks. It comes from years of practice.

I know we've had our banter over the hockey S. but you know I'll always back a Canadian team over any other. It's good to see the Habs back to looking like a great hockey team again. It's been a while in coming and fans like theirs deserve it. I hope they can go all the way. It's high time Canada had a Stanley Cup winner again.

Sadly, the archetypal Flames game that was needed was nowhere in evidence and based on the overall season they had, getting to Game 7 was an achievement in itself. A major rebuild required now in Calgary IMHO. Too many players there on the wrong side of 30.

Highlight of the night for me was when i fell a sleep prematch and woke up with only 3 mins left

ie George Gillett v Tom Hicks

Bring it on

Exactly. Normally, rivalries come about from what happens on the ice - the Avery v Brodeur thing's a classic example. I can't imagine how quickly those teams would start to hate each other when the owners have fallen out to such an extent.

Anyway. Detroit have jumped out to a 3-1 lead at the 1st intermission in game 1. And Philly led 2-0 in Montreal at the same point.

I agree mate. Alway a Canadian team first no matter which one. I wouldn't allow bitterness or jealousy get in the way of that.

Sorry about Calgary. It seems their best chance may have gone with that particular set of players doen't it? They do Alberta and smaller budget teams generally, proud though. One or two larger budget teams could learn from them.

**Cadger** · 27-04-2008 10:03 AM

Was pretty bumbed the Canucks didnt make the playoffs but oh well, been following the playoffs hope the Canadiens do well.

any ideas when the final is? i know its in June just wanna put in holidays!

Cheers
