STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS TIME!
I know there aren't THAT many hockey fans here and that this thread will get no posts, but I'm making a thread anyway. I can't believe both Toronto AND Montreal missed, has this ever happened in the history of the NHL? The Islanders game was pretty wild, I can't believe the Devils scored with less than a second left. The Leafs must have been at home shitting themselves ...
Mwahahaha.
Anyway, the Canucks are playing the Stars. Go Luongo! I'm sooo excited, it's so awesome. We missed the playoffs last year and I was really disappointed, so they better win at least a round this year. The city is so pumped for this. Vancouver is the definitely the best NHL hockey city in the world!
I'm going to games 1 and 2 and 7 (if it gets that far) of the first round thanks to a good friend. Unless you're rich and/or have seasons tickets, getting playoff tickets is nearly impossible here if you don't have a hook-up. I am going to need to win an MTT or something so that I can buy tickets for the semis (cause we're gonna kill the Stars dammit ... hopefully Modano breaks a leg or something).
Who are you cheering for?

Court: Realistically, how well do you think the canucks will do against the Stars. Im not a fan of either team, but the stars are pretty damn good season. In any division other than the pacific they would be second at worst and a very likely first (not even based on points, just on play). Can Vancouver do it?
GOO Sharks.

If Modano somehow breaks a limb, Canucks will win. Otherwise, I think it's 50/50 ... They both have good goaltending (woooo Luongo rules) and they're both right up there for few goals against (it's gonna be a low scoring series for sure), so I dunno ... I think someone should just break Modano's legs. Honestly though, I think I'd rather play Dallas rather than anyone else in the Western Conference. Dallas is good, but everyone else is really scary too ...

Question:
Where the hell are the avalanche? They're like the only team I root for in the NHL (and no I don't pay that much attention).
That, and well, I'm not supposed to like any teams from Dallas, being from Houston and all. So booh Stars?

Colorado sucked this year. They made a run for the last spot late but they couldn't catch up to Calgary. NW division was hard though, I'll give them that. Pretty tough to make the playoffs when the Canucks, Wild, and Flames are all in the same division as you are (and they all make the cut).

Canucks FTW and not just because they're my team. They were the hottest team in the NHL post Christmas. And they never fail to kick it up a high level in the playoffs. The only thing that stopped them before was poor playoff goal tending.
PLUS, did you see Naslund in the past couple games? Not huge results showing yet, but he was heating up into playoff mode.
The team I really fear though is Detroit, they basically live in the playoffs and Bertuzzi is a wrecking machine in the playoffs.
Man I get so excited this time of year! Wednesday is so far away!

GO HABS GO!!!! Oh yeah I forgot they DONKED the last two games in preference of golf.
Pitsburgh/Ottawa is probably the best series in the East. Go Pens.
Out Ouest, Go Canucks (for Luongo, MTL boy) and go flames

Sens all the way, the pens are an exciting team to watch but other than roberts almost completely new to the playoffs. The Sens havent fared to well in their playoff history but have consistantly made the playoffs the last like 5 years, topping or near topping the East and With heatly,alfredsson,spezza killing it this year I think they have the experience to run deep in the playoffs.
As for the Avs and stars, that will be an exciting matchup to watch as well, Luongo is incredible and vancouver offence seems to be streaky, if the Sedin twins step up, specifically daniel, and naslund wakes up they will give a run for their money.
If I had to put money on any team tho, it would be on buffalo for obvious reasons. Finally getting healthy and sporting the best record and most wins this season makes them a heavy favorite. And the first round matchup against a cinderalla entry by the islanders is exactly what they need to start their playoffs running. I think they'll steamroll the isles and it will just add to their confidence.

This is why soccer in Europe is a die hard sport all year round. The EPL championship is solely based on the season and points accumulation. Therefore, every game in the season matters. However, your finish in that season also determines entry into the champions league (I think it's top 4 in EPL) which IMO is the greatest tournament/playoffs out there. Imagine 10 worldwide NFLs whose top teams play each other for the championship. They also have two cups in england which affords even more playoff fun.
I think American sports, baseball in particular but also hockey and basketball (I think football has such a short season that it doesn't apply) are doing it all wrong in the sense that all the season is for is making it to the playoffs.

HABS is short for "les habitants", which comes from the French settlers that established themselves in Quebec...

Canucks in 6!! I think Vancouver matches up very well against the stars, much better than the sharks or wild at least. Getting through the west will be retarded hard. Their chances rest pretty much solely on Luongo, and without him stealing a couple games it'll be tough for them to get through. In any case, GET YOUR WHITE TOWELS OUT!!

the canucks entire season has basically rested entirely on Luongo, which is the way it should be when you have the best goaltender in the league/world.
Given canucks fans history with goalies, I half expected them to be booing luongo halfway thru the season, but I guess he is so good that even they can't get on his case.
Haven't been able to see the last few weeks worth of games for Vancouver, but unless Naslund starts to play (or has already started) then they are in trouble. If it weren't for the Sedins the canucks would have had a hard time making the playoffs. And the stars will do a pretty damn good job shutting down 1 vancouver line, so the others will have to contribute a lot.
The biggest hole for vancouver is going to be the lack of depth on defence. If (and when) salo goes down with an injury they are in trouble. If the defence can stay healthy then the canucks could go far.

I think I agree with everything here, especially the part about Naslund. He really does need to start doing something ...

My dad has tickets 3rd row behind the home goaltender. He's obviously selling them for profit, but you're a balla. Let me know if you want the hookup.
