Kings fan here.... did u even know Los Angeles has a hockey team...
I would say "What the hell were they thinking, trading Thornton and Samsonov", but I'm a Habs fan, and we're quite used to our best being traded for no reason (other than saving some management ass).Thornton wrote:

Die hard Bruins fan.
As for the playoffs, I'm a huge Joe fan, so go Sharks! With Mason in net for the Preds I think they can take the series.
Die hard Detroit Red Wing fan here. Been one for about 16 years. Of corse at that time their were no Columbus Blue Jackets, which is about 45 minutes away. I've developed a soft spot for that lovable in state loser.
As for the guy who was boasting that the Wings are the best team because of their record...
Sorry bro but you are so wrong there. Their record was built in large part against teams in their division. Have you looked at the other teams in their division? They're god aweful. There are 30 teams in the NHL. Here are the end of season ranking of the teams in Detroits division (who they played the most games against) :
Detroit-1st overall
Nashville-5th overall
Columbus-tied for 25th overall
Chicago-28th overall
St.Louis-30th overall (worst)
I may be a huge fan, but i'm still objective enough to not be blinded.
The truth is they stand a real chance of being eliminated from the playoffs by the lowest seeded team.

LA had a great team in the 70's -90's. I remember Dave Taylor, Jari Kurri, Luc, Bob Carpenter among others. When Great One came to LA it was a major hoopla, as they changed thier uni's and such.
Im a Coyotes fan. I used to be a Whalers fan, don't know why, I've never been to Conn.
I played hockey from the late 80's to the early 2000's... I miss it, but don't follow it as much.

I too used to play hockey, for 15 years. Its rough not playing anymore.. although I do have intentions of playing again.
Stanley Cup Predictions anyone?
I think I will have to go with the Ottawa Senators winning the cup.. not because I am a fan, just a realist. I think that only the Devils will really be able to compete with the Sens in the east. The Wings could compete with the Sens, providing they could ever make it that far.
Go HABS Go!!!!!
and i say we are winning our serie against Carolina in 6
and i hope the Oilers gonna beat the Red Wings. Just for the fact that 90% of any hockey fans thought the Red Wings would beat the crap out of the Oilers
As for the Stanley Cup
East : Ottawa or New Jersey (allthough Buffalo could get there but i dont think so)
West : Detroit or Calgary (maybe Colorado but their Goalie had the worst season ever and i dont think hes gonna do better in the series even if he have a really good team)

And Crosby Is just gonna get better and better with the years to come, Watch this guy in 2 or 3 years. Hes gonna be insane.<{SoE}>Agamemnar wrote:

Have faith. The Penguins are in the process of building a Dynasty. With Malkin and Erik Johnson next year it's going to be pretty crazy with all those youngsters coalescing as a true team.
First year in the NHL and did over 100 points.

I remember all those games. The Avs/Red Wings Rivalry was insane for those few years. "Bloody Sunday' was the best hockey gmae I have ever seen. There were something around 7 fights and several players left the ice bleeding. Plus there was a goalie fight and that is always a blast.bs6749 wrote:
Red Wings FTW!
Anyone rememember when Patrick Roy got his ass fucking clothes lined by a skating Brendan Shanahan? Cause I sure do. Or when Claude Lemiux got his ass beat in retalliation for his cheap shot on Kris Draper that sent him face first into the bench door?
BTW Detroit got pretty fortunate on that third goal tonight.

Thanks guys...I know it's coming again, IF they can keep the team here. Crosby played some insane hockey this year with a supporting cast of...who else was on the team It seems like just yesterday I was watching Mario, Jagr, Francis, Stevens, Straka, etc. We just got really spoiled there for a while...*tears*MooseRyder wrote:

But arent they gonna fire Michel Therrien at Pittsburg?
Well, Craig Patrick got his walking papers about a week ago. Therrien...I hate to speculate, but...they'll probably give him a month or two of next season. He'll make an easy scapegoate if things don't improve.
+1 for you, Moose! I'm an Oilers fan since years and it's awesome, like they start the first playoff round. The Wings have to watch their backs and bite their asses, to win. No easy owning like all expected. Now it's tied, but let's have a look at the next game...MooseRyder wrote:

I hate seeing teams leaving their cities (Winnipeg, Quebec City, Hartford, Minnesota, etc).
Although I heard Winnipeg is back on the list (as is Sacramento, wtf?, and 3 other places deep in the sun).
Detroit wins last night, they're back in it.
Koivu gone indefinately but keeps his sight. Shit, but yay!
I watched the Sens game and the Lightning looked pretty lethargic.
Go Habs!

I was about to reply to this regarding the division but noticed you hit the nail on the head. Let's see how they do against winning teamsWormGuts wrote:

Hurricanes won 3-2 tonight GOD DAMN IT!!! lol
Thats what happen when the Captain get wounded, the hole team spirit is at the bottom. and Saku wont be back for this serie. I have a bad feeling for the Habs to make it threw now
anyone know who won on the Stars/Avalanche game?

I'm for Nashville. I play hockey too. It's fun.
Yeah, Emery has been doing really good, but when Hasek has recovered enough, I'm not sure who will become starter. But Hasek has been a humungous boost to Ottawa, undoubtfully. At the start of the season I thought Legace wouldn't keep the high performance and that Detroit might fall behind a bit, but sadly (for me at least) Detroit still throttled ahead.
WormGuts is right, Detroit got most of it's points from it's own crappy division (no offense) but they are still a really good team.
I don't know what to think about Bertuzzi. I want him to stay, but if he continues to be unpassionate about it then he'd better leave, but that'd be a blow to the team. I love Carter though, I was worried at first that he wouldn't be up to the challenge of having a palindromic number (22/33 Sedins, 44 Bertuzzi, 55 Jovanovski, etc) but he certainly was a big help. Unfortunately we missed it by a tiny bit.... meh.

Go Blackhawks!!! We got Roenick, Belfour, Smith, Chelios and Larmer how can we be stopped!!!! Oh wait im living in the 90's again...damnit!!!! Hard for me to get into Hockey like I use to when Chicagos owner Bill Wurtz gets rid of everything good we have. And yes Dominic Hasek started with the Blackhwaks and played brilliantly and then guess what we let him go to!!!! I love Hockey but hate my Hockey teams owner.
Oh yes coolbeano I still have the original Pavel Bure Canucks jersey from 93 they had some great teams in the 90's as well with Linden and Bure leading the way.

Carolina is at disgrace to the 2nd best team in the East, losing to the Habs.......
San Jose Sharks all the way!
Yay OTTAWA! Second series, good job. No offense to any Tampa Bay people out there but that was some pretty bad rapage...
Now to see if the Devils and Oilers push on further....
