NHL Playoffs Thread

Yeah, Dallas did a great job this year beating out 2 heavy favourites (Ducks and Sharks). They've done a lot of rearranging this season and I think next year they'll be a big contender.

EAST
(2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (6) Philadelphia Flyers - 4-1

WEST
(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (5) Dallas Stars - 4-2

Onto the Stanley Cup Finals...
(2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (1) Detroit Red Wings

Although this is a great match up for the NHL, I may not even watch a single game of it. I'm not a huge fan of Pittsburgh at all, and I think Crosby is definitely overrated. If I had to pick, I'd say Detroit in 6.

I love to see that hockey in Dallas does so well.

Been a Pens Fan since that Momentous day in 1984 =)

So I guess you know who I'm cheering for.

Although I must admit, Detroit probably has the best system in hockey to date. Their scouting, bringing up of young prospects is astounding. Be it from Europe or NA.

Cheers
Go Pens

GO WINGS!!
The only reason I want the Wings to win (and it looks to be an easy task for them thus far) is cause of that !^@%^$#%$! Crosby. Whiney little b*^!$
Zett > cocky ass-smurf.
GO WINGS.
Better team too

Game 1: Detroit 4 - Pittsburgh 0
Game 2: Detroit 3 - Pittsburgh 0


Another game, another dominant win by Detroit. Not looking that good for Penguins, Detroit it capitalizing on all the young guys mistakes, and are not getting enough shots off on Osgood. Adding Roberts to the mix apparently didn't help, but did add some grit. The desperation is beginning to show with the punches being laid on 'fragile' Franzen, although Osgood shouldn't resort to his overdone falls. Perhaps its time to try out Conklin? We'll see Wednesday.

Even with Pitt's win last night, Detroit was still almost going to win. I'll give that one to Pitty, as they also did ring it off the crossbar a few times. On every occasion Osgood looked around all confused.

[Gogo]

Ugh. Game 5 and Detroit can win it all tonight.

[Tavrobel]

Hi! Welcome to triple overtime at 3-3, with Detroit having 3 games in the series, compared to Pittsburgh's 1.

EDIT: Not for long. 4-3 Penguins.

gay boots =( smurf sake...

I have to say, even though the Penguins have won two games... they still seem to be dominated almost constantly during the games. Their goalie seriously is keeping them alive.

THE JACKEL

I think detroit is playing with them. what other reason could it be?

[White Raven]

Well, Pittsburgh now only trails 3-2, though they barely got through Game 5 even tho they dominated most of it. I still don't think that they could string 3 wins in a row against the Wings. Wish they wouldn't go 3 OT's, twas a late night last night
