Hawks vs Avs in Western Conference finals, plz.

I'ma try to watch more hockey this year than I did last season (and pretty much every season since Roy retired/ESPN stopped carrying hockey).

Do work, hockey fans.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS PLAYOFFS

With Vokoun around for one more year, I think Fleury gets another chance next year. The guy has always let in some bad goals but at least in 2008 and 2009, he made huge saves. These last two years, he hasn't made big saves and let in bad goals.

But, that whole situation can wait until after this playoffs. I'm really excited for the last three series and not just because my team is in it. Should be some great hockey.

Fleury's gotta go and it has nothing to do with quality of play, it's just the fact that it's gonna be way too hard for him to bounce back from this mentally. I don't wanna see this team turn into the Canucks where they're too afraid to let go of their "ace" goalie. Start next season with Vokoun and Hartzell with Hartzell taking over the full time job in 2 years.

The Hawks are way too soft to win the cup. Can't even get out of their own zone with all this pressure from the Kings. All the shots they get aren't shots they'll beat Quick with. GOTTA GET CLOSER THAN THE BLUE LINE.

Today's Pens/Bruins game reminded me of the Canucks/Bruins series. Pens were outplaying the Bruins, but then the B's got under their skin and they took over the game.

Frustration got the best of the Canucks in their series and if the Penguins want to win this one, they should stop trying to play Bruins hockey.

This.

However, I will say this, it was crucial for the Pens to have a game like this because they needed to show the Bruins that they aren't afraid of them and can match up with their physical play. I think Crosby getting in Chara's face is gonna be something this team rallies around, honestly.

No matter who wins the Pens/Bruins series, it's going to be a fun series to watch. It's already reminding of the Canucks/Bruins Stanley Cup series with the bad blood starting to boil between the two teams. I expect the Pens to go back to their style of play in Game 2 but if they continue to play the Bruins style of game like they did in Game 1, they are in trouble. And if you are the Bruins, you want that to happen for you to have the best chance to win the series.

One game went as I wanted it to, with Boston blanking the ****** Pens. Suck it, Crybaby.

The Chicago game didn't go as I wanted it to, however, the thought of the Blackhawks getting in the finals, going to game 7, and being eliminated in OT is a much more satisfying thought.

I'd consider it. I will be forever indebted to whoever eliminated the Bruins from the playoffs. Whether it be the Penguins, Kings or Hawks. Sadly I think I'm going to have to suffer through another Bruins cup final appearance. Hopefully they don't win this time around...

Don't worry brother.

The Hawks got this shit. :cool:

I really hope The Hawks sweep LA so I can berate DubC for his team not only losing, but not even being able to win a game since he likes to think insulting The Wild gets me mad, and well The Wild at least won one game.

Boston scores first blood. They can't let themselves think the have the game in the bag though. Even winning the first 2 on the road isn't anythin. The Spurs and Rockets both beat each other on the road in the first 4 games of the series, so anything is possible in sports.
