2007 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread

[spoon]

Calgary looks fired up and ready to play today! eerrr.......:unsure:

I promise if the score continues like this the game will get ugly. Calgary never loses with class. Dion and Hams will be taking pot shots at everyone on the ice. And Iginla will join in as well, I promise.

Thats why I still have it on!! If this gets like the 3rd period of the last game, it should be an all out brawl

Yea, but do you promise???

Same for the Thrashers. They lost their shit yesterday in the last minute.

[spoon]

Well the difference there is that the games are highly contested and close, while Calgary looks awful. And to say Avery has something to do with it is an understatement.

[Kevin]

Jesus, how much weight did Hull put on?? How long has he been retired??Or is it just different seeing him out of the pads and uni?

[Kevin]

Well the difference there is that the games are highly contested and close, while Calgary looks awful. And to say Avery has something to do with it is an understatement.

Avery has gotten into their heads so much, that their top guys like kovelchuk an Hossa, concentrate more on where he is so they can get him, than scoring.. What a freakin pick up he has been.. And he only just turned 27.

[spoon]

I remember in a game against LA (Avs), Avery got in a fight with his own fucking teammate on the bench and kept it going from the ice. The guy is a perfect rental, bc if he's around too long his own team starts to hate him. He's no Claude Lemieux where you love him if he's on your team and hate him if your not. Avery is a clear cut hate all the way guy and that goes double for coaching staffs. However, you can never question his effort in games as he has one of those non-stop motors. It's a shame bc he is a really good player with skill, grit and intensity.

Maybe as long as a team is winning, he is fine and can be tolerated?? But when the team is losing, is when he becomes the prob.. I dunno, i hope.. He is such good player.. I hope he matures.. I want him on this team for years to come..

Sorry, not the case. There's a reason you got him so cheap as LA finally had enough of him. In fact, at the end of last year they even sat him out for the final few games (2005-2006). I guess the Kings were never big contenders during his run, but I doubt he's about to suddenly mature with the Rangers. In fact, that might kill his style if it did happen.

[spoon]

Dion with a big goal.

What did Det get for him, when they dealt him to the Kings?? Was it another got tired of him dump? Or did they get a good player.. Det has Always been good, so i am just checking on my winning team theory...

I am sure these NHL players love hearing that jack off sideline guy saying how much they are sucking, and how little passion they are showing, on national TV, right next to their bench..

[Gvac]

Whew!!!

12 SHOTS ON GOAL?? Good lord..

[cougarjake13]

wow

fucking awesome hit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pens-Sens has been a great game

What a hit

You guys must have been talking about that hit on Eaves! Ouch. He did that to another guy earlier in the year.

[weekapaugjz]

[Tenbatsuzen]

Well the difference there is that the games are highly contested and close, while Calgary looks awful. And to say Avery has something to do with it is an understatement.

Quite honestly, Avery is a much-needed missing ingredient that the Rangers didn't have last year. He adds, and God help me for using this term, but some "spunk" to the team.

[spoon]

Or worse, but you're the optomist huh!

And that goal by Shanny is half the reason I picked them to win a series this year. He and Avery bring that playoff grit scoring edge that they just didn't have last year. It's a big key.

Oh I agree, and that's why I wrote this yesterday in here.

[Kevin]

Oh I agree, and that's why I wrote this yesterday in here.

Wtf?? Have you been throwing a few down tonight?

[spoon]

Wtf?? Have you been throwing a few down tonight?

What does that even mean? If it's true, I agree. So actually I'm in agreement with Tenbats who agreed with me earlier! Ha!

Oh,it just looked like you quoted yourself, and said you were right.. I just thought you could have been drinking or something..

[spoon]

Ah, I get what you were thinking. No, I was showing Tenbats that I said pretty much the same thing earlier.

[TheGameHHH]

this series greatly shifted in the 3rd period of game 2.......its tampas series to lose now.

[Gvac]

Excellent penalty kill for Tampa, down 2 men for almost a minute.

Could you imagine if the Devils lose in the first round?

How much more insane would Lamoriello's power grab look then?

agreed on both Parts

A. Devils Suck
B. Michael Kay Sucks

Tee Hee the Devils may be Golfing Early

Great Job LOU, firing your Claude Julien and taking over. It sure has Helped LOU.

:king:

[lleeder]

Great Islander Sabre game so far. Back and forth lots of chances for both teams. I've gotta go wensday.

[Bossanova]

Are you drinking again?

HAHAHA, yes I am. That has nothing to do with my statement. His skin was a redish orangey color. I was just asking.

[Gvac]

Re-read that statement.

[lleeder]

Ryan Miller hid like a pussyboy on that shot.

[Bossanova]

WOW, that was supposed to be dick meds. I may be drinking, but nowhere near what it should take for me to f that up

[Gvac]

I thought maybe I was going nuts.

[weekapaugjz]

Ryan Miller hid like a pussyboy on that shot.

have you ever had a puck coming at your face at 90 mph before?

[Arch Stanton]

have you ever had a puck coming at your face at 90 mph before?

I have seen his face and I would guess..........:laugh:

[Bossanova]

I thought maybe I was going nuts.

No, but I'm starting to think that maybe I am

[Gvac]

have you ever had a puck coming at your face at 90 mph before?

One time I was coaching an outdoor league. No glass over the boards. I was leaning over trying to see what was happening in our defensive zone while we were killing a penalty. Apparently my defenseman cleared the zone with a slapshot. The entire team leaned back, but it was too late for me.

It hit me right between the eyes and split my glasses in half.

Good times.

[Bossanova]

have you ever had a puck coming at your face at 90 mph before?

As a defeseman who has taken slappers in the thighs, shoulders, back, and chest. Yeah you react funny when that puck flies at you. Thats why goalies are usually considered nuts, they take a huge risk on almost every shot.

[Bossanova]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gvac]

As a winger who used to park his ass in front of the net on power plays (usually battling one of you filthy defenseman :furious: ) I was none too fond of the puck at eye level either.

[Gvac]

Just a random thought, and don't ask me why it just popped into my head - does anyone remember exactly when the NHL started putting ads on the boards, or am I the only old fart who remembers them being pristine and pure white?

yeah, about two weeks into the season wasn't it?? what can ya do? they've been good for so long it was bound to happen. they made some good moves, we'll see what happens.
not sure who's gonna take it this year though, seems too close to call...

You did make a good deal with the Preds.. For Forsberg.. Most people think the Preds made the deal too quick, and gave up way too much.. You guys have some good young talent coming up, to go with the other youngsters you have up now..

yeah,upshall has been great. we'll see. I think the defenseman (parent?)we also got in that deal is gonna be REAL good. Signing Biron was a BIG step. it's been forever since we had a goalie hold up for more than half a season...
It's all part of being a fan. some of us philly fans don't throw snowballs and batteries and actually have a rational view of our teams....

Nice win Weeka , It was a great game til the last 2 minutes. Drunk fans fucking shit up for nothing.
You know in your heart that penalty was bullshit. We should have had 6 skaters out there.

[Gvac]

That must've been some soft ice in Nassau tonight. Guys were falling all over the place and the puck was bouncing like a tennis ball.

And that's before the scumbags started throwing shit on it.

[weekapaugjz]

forsberg just took a stupid fucking penalty for punching grier. they would have had the power play before that shit.

Ex-NHL player Gaetan Duchesne dies at 44
Associated Press Apr 16, 2007, 3:49 PM EDT

QUEBEC (AP) -Gaetan Duchesne, who played in the NHL for 14 seasons and helped the Minnesota North Stars reach the 1991 Stanley Cup final, died while training at a gym Monday. He was 44.

Duchesne collapsed and could not be resuscitated, said his former junior team, the Quebec Remparts. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Duchesne played for five NHL teams - Washington, Quebec, Minnesota, San Jose and Florida - and retired after the 1994-95 season. The forward appeared in 1,028 NHL games, totaling 179 goals and 254 assists. He was in 84 playoff games.

Duchesne, born in Quebec, was an eighth-round draft pick of the Capitals in 1981 and made the NHL club out of his first training camp. After six seasons with Washington, he was traded to the Nordiques with Alan Haworth and a first-round draft pick - that turned out to be Joe Sakic - for Dale Hunter and goalie Clint Malarchuk.

After helping Minnesota advance to the Stanley Cup final, where the North Stars lost to Pittsburgh in six games, he finished his career with the Sharks and Panthers.

Duchesne later worked as an assistant coach with the defunct Quebec Rafales of the IHL and the Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Duchesne is survived by his wife, a daughter and a son, Jeremy, who is a goaltender with the Val d'Or Foreurs of the QMJHL.

[Gvac]

Well, 2-1 San Jose after 2.

I gotta hit the hay.

[TheGameHHH]

the devils are breaking my heart

[Captain Rooster]

Just got home from the Islanders game ... and, wow, the fans were assholes tonight--this is speaking as a long-time Isalnders fan. It looked like an AA meeting gone wrong ... the parking lot was rougher than the hits on the ice.

The FUCKERS did NOT play the replay of the questionable goal. Hello! I just paid 200 fuckin bucks to come to the Nassau Col ... SHOW THE REVIEWABLE TAPE!

I will never go to another Islander game ('til I cool off). What a waste of fucking time.


Go Islanders.

By the way, I DID NOT Throw shit on the ice ... and Ranger fans ... don't act like you're not made up of imported Islanders (meaning the people) and corporate ticket holders.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weekapaugjz]

The FUCKERS did NOT play the replay of the questionable goal. Hello! I just paid 200 fuckin bucks to come to the Nassau Col ... SHOW THE REVIEWABLE TAPE!


i think its an nhl regulation not to show the play under review. i dont think i have seen a review at any of the games i have been to in the last 4-5 years.

[Captain Rooster]

Thanks, bro. BUt, NHL, that's just wrong ... what's gonna happen? The people are gonna freak and riot and throw shit on the ice? Uummmmm?

It just goes to show me ... it's better being at home watching the games in HD and seeing all of the xtras. I'll keep my 200 bucks next time.

[spoon]

You never second guess Lou.The Devils D is too week for this high powered offense

Right. Well I do and he's done this stupid move way too many times to have a real reason for each. He's out of his mind and is given way too much credit for riding an awesome goalie. How has Phil done without MJ?

[spoon]

As a winger who used to park his ass in front of the net on power plays (usually battling one of you filthy defenseman :furious: ) I was none too fond of the puck at eye level either.

Fuck I can attest to that! In fact, all my recent dental work is due to playing this type fashion myself and getting a real nice tip in which the puck road up my stick and destroyed my wisdom tooth and my first molar when it hit me in the fucking mouth. So far I had to have the wisdom tooth out and it was all broken up so it was hard to get out, and I'm almost done with the root canal on the remains of my first molar. And that was on a deflection for crying out loud, imagine a straight 90 mph direct hit?!

[spoon]

Jeez...none of you guys are even 30 yet.

Spoon's out of his mind trying to get me to lace 'em up again.

I'm forty-fucking-one years old.

Come on! Your a hard-working brick shithouse, you'd do/be fine. I have a few teams so you can pick which one you want to play on. We had a crazy one last night, hence the reason I can't sleep right now. We have a few new guys playing and a lot of us haven't been on the ice for a few weeks between seasons. So getting matched up with the top team in the division for our first game back was bad news.

Sure enough we looked ugly early and fell behing 5-0 after one. Well I gave a classic, CLASSIC talk to get them riled up and had to point out some real selfish plays in order to get them to play as a team. The results were good and we got back to 7-4, so we had a shot. It was a classic pond hockey type game and for some reason when we tightened up, they got real loose and took dumb chances trying to bury us. Well, we ended up tying it 9-9 late and had a 3-1 with 25 seconds left in which one of our selfish players failed to move the puck to either of our two best scorers and then managed to barely flub the puck in a weak attempt to pass. So end result is not even a shot, but a terrible fuck up when we had them fucked for a huge comeback win. I'm happy with the response of our team and the comeback no doubt, but I have a few kids who are having problems working as a unit and I fucking loathe that mentality. They may not be long for the team even though they have great raw talent.

[JesterOfSadness]

Shit, if I had the cash for new equipment,etc and got back into shape I'd go back and play in a heartbeat.

I terribly miss robbing some egotistical motherfucker on a breakaway with a beautiful glove save.

[Gwen]

Wow, the playoffs have been great so far this year. A lot of teams are looking sloppy to me though, most notably Calgary in Sunday's game against the Wings (congrats on the win, Greg). A lot of powerhouse teams that you'd expect to skate through (no pun intended) are at least having to earn their trips to the next round. It is great to see and it is certainly keeping it interesting.

Also, is it just me or does Versus have the BEST hockey related commercials (except for perhaps the one when Ovechkin orders all the food to Crosby's room at the Hotel)?

And finally: Let's Go Rangers!

[Gvac]

I'm as mystified as anyone as to how awful the Flames have looked. I'm sure they'll be a different team in Calgary, though, Gwen.

And your Rangers have looked great. I picked 'em in 6, but it might be an even shorter series. And I agree; the rest of the games have been awesome. Even the Islanders are fighting valiantly.

In that vein, MSG's Bobby Granger commercials have been awful, except where he takes a shot in the nuts.

In that vein, MSG's Bobby Granger commercials have been awful, except where he takes a shot in the nuts.

Oh, and the one last year where he learns to speak Czech and gets beat up.

No more little Grangers..

Well the NHL makes more money if the Rangers win in 6

[Tenbatsuzen]

Oh, it's turned into a bitchslaping now

[Kevin]

This is ugly.. I start to worry about Spoons theory about them starting to take cheap shots.. they re already starting..

[Bossanova]

This is ugly.. I start to worry about Spoons theory about them starting to take cheap shots.. they re already starting..

Sadly it is true. I have been instructed myself to cheap shot a guy, during an ass beating.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Did that pussy Kovalchuk hit him with a gloved fist?

[Kevin]

Avery is so into Kovelchuks head, its hysterical

[Tenbatsuzen]

I think everyone should get pulled off the ice. What the hellis going on? I have the sound off so I can listen to the Yankee game.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Did they get game misconducts or match penalties? Avery looked pissed.

[Kevin]

Did they get game misconducts or match penalties? Avery looked pissed.

They got match pens 2 5 10 misconduct.. 17 mins Avery was just jawing at Kovelfag.

[cougarjake13]

only prob is i dont get the rangers down here

Yeah that does suck if you are a Ranger fan

[Tenbatsuzen]

They got match pens 2 5 10 misconduct.. 17 mins Avery was just jawing at Kovelfag.

The box score says Misconducts, not Match. Match penalties are automatic suspensions.

[cougarjake13]

yeh

i just cant beleive that with playoff hockey on

espn has a 3 1/2 hr nba shootaround show

wtf ??? its not even playoffs yet

Yea the mis conduct pens put the total over the game time remaining, so they got chucked.

XM, dummy.

[cougarjake13]

i really wish there was another option

they're kinda like the wwe, they have no comp and their product suffers b/c of it

[weekapaugjz]

sens go up 3-1 in the series. they are looking pretty good. if emery keeps playing like he is, he will cause trouble for teams later on.

[Bossanova]

I couldn't agree more. You would figure that Fox having baseball, football, and hockey they could put some kinf of sports news show together. I know they had one, but I can't see how it would fail now. It seems like everyone hates espn

7-0 save some goals for tommorow boys

[Bossanova]

I would say foxsports. I don't think the big network would bother. Like make a flagship show for all of the FSN's I know they have the locals and they just can't compete.

see thats the problem all the fox sports are regional or local and i dont think theyd give that up to try and maybe compete with sportscenter and espn

[Bossanova]

You are right, i just would love to see someone take a shot at them. At the very least make espn put some decent programming together.

did it hurt ????

It was excruciating!

Well, the first period was what I expected; I knew Calgary was a completely different team at home and they came out FLYING. We had a 4 minute power play and couldn't even get a shot on net. The Flamers were everywhere on the ice, even short handed.

Thank God Iginla hit the post and it's still scoreless.

This game is giving me an ulcer.

If I stay up late and go to work feeling like a zombie tomorrow, I'd damn well better get a win tonight.

[Gvac]

Mother fucking cocksucker.

Whew....all tied up.

And yes, I realize I'm talking to myself in here.

If I wore that, the ensuing Liz/Matt fight would make Avery/Kovalchuk look like Child's play

[Kevin]

cock sucking ESPN..You have 3 hockey playoff games, and they lead with the NBA.. WHO GIVES A FUCK!!

[Gvac]

If I live to be a thousand (go ahead, make your jokes) I'll never understand how people could be interested in basketball.

I find it to be the most boring sport ever. I'd rather watch billiards, soccer, tennis, anything other than basketball.

[Gvac]

Hello?

No one else is watching this game?

You're missing a good one.

1-1 after two.

Bastards.

[Gvac]

2-1 Wings!

Both goals scored by Draper.

SOB really steps it up in the playoffs.

[Gvac]

Fucking cunts.

[JesterOfSadness]

Hold the phone. The Flames actually won, and the Wild won. What the fuck?

[ralphbxny]

GVAC Come down off the roof. The Wings will still win!!

[Gvac]

Nothing kills me more than blowing a lead in the third period Ralph, but I'll survive. The way Calgary played I was honestly shocked that we were able to go up 2-1 in the third. They outplayed the Wings from start to finish.

I hope we come out with a little more fire and a sense of urgency for game 4 because I don't want to head back to Detroit with the series tied.

Tonight's lineup has all 3 NY area teams playing at 7:30 so I'll be flicking around like a nut, but the game I'm most interested in is NJ - Tampa.

Thanks bro, but to tell the truth I'm not overly confident.

I want to go on record right now and say I do not want Lang or Bertuzzi on this team next year.

Maybe we can get Iginla.

[weekapaugjz]

mother fucker jason blake. im suprised it took him til the 4th game to get his first goal. he usually kills the sabres.

[Bossanova]

Thanks bro, but to tell the truth I'm not overly confident.

I don't know many people who want Bertuzzi

[Kevin]

I don't know many people who want Bertuzzi

I still can' believe the Panthers traded a world class goalie like Luongo for him.. I mean if you think your not going to sign the guy(which they could have) or are cheap.. Get a package of young talent and picks for the guy.. Not an aging problem player..

Yeah, its sad when your biggest highlight in the last 4 years is attacking someone from behind. He hasn't done anything in two years to warrent a team being interested

[weekapaugjz]

fuck yeah vanek. way to tie that shit up.

[weekapaugjz]

fucking drury! captain clutch! off of a fantastic job from zubrus.

[J.Clints]

If the preds loose tonight we are done. If we win there my be a little hope.

[Bossanova]

Fuck yes!!! Nice fucking goal

[Kevin]

These fucking refs should be wearing fucking thrasher jerseys.

[spoon]

I'm as mystified as anyone as to how awful the Flames have looked. I'm sure they'll be a different team in Calgary, though, Gwen.

And your Rangers have looked great. I picked 'em in 6, but it might be an even shorter series. And I agree; the rest of the games have been awesome. Even the Islanders are fighting valiantly.

Obviously Greg was right on this one and it's clear when you look at their home and away record this year it's fucking crazy different.

And I never thought I'd cheer a red wing in my life but when Cleary blasted Phaneuf I was fucking psyched! He had Dion out on his feet and he deserves nothing less every game that dirty cock sucker.

[Bossanova]

Spoon there is no nead to reply. How do you blow a two goal lead the fast?

[weekapaugjz]

drury with his second. this time on the powerplay

Are you kidding me with this fucking penalty

well they killed it no problem

[Gvac]

SHANAHAN!!! How the fuck does your team let this man go, Gvac??

Oh, we didn't want to see Shanny go...believe me. He actually turned down more money from the Wings (and Montreal) so he could play in New York.

[cougarjake13]

And when you do it is in hockey

wow, this is an intense OT

i forget the rules

what happens after this period ends ??? another period or shootout ???

[Bossanova]

i forget the rules

Another 20, no more shoot outs

Which is nice, I would not like the Devs chances in a shoot out

[LOAF]

i forget the rules

what happens after this period ends ??? another period or shootout ???

No shoot outs in the playoffs

[cougarjake13]

No shoot outs in the playoffs

so why do it all season then get rid of it come playoff time ???

I got nothin' ??

[Kevin]

Oh, we didn't want to see Shanny go...believe me. He actually turned down more money from the Wings (and Montreal) so he could play in New York.

He just got even more respect in my book.. When was the last time you heard Rangers and took less to sign?? Shanny has been such a lift for us.. As soon as he came back from the injury, we started playing well again.. He has been great in the playoffs.

[Bossanova]

so why do it all season then get rid of it come playoff time ???

They did it to increase viewers, but you wouldn't want a series to end that way. They shouldn't have it at all

[LOAF]

Nice, Devils Power play

[cougarjake13]

They did it to increase viewers, but you wouldn't want a series to end that way. They shouldn't have it at all

thats what im saying you bust your ass all night to lose on a shootout has to suck

and i think most fans would rather not have a shootout

[weekapaugjz]

ahahahaha....nice goal by pominville! dipietro is fucking nuts.

[Bossanova]

Most real fans would. The commish is an ass and thinks the NHL needs new fans. So ruin the purity of the game for ham n eggers

[Bossanova]

i nearly shat myself pretty much the entire game. huge win tonight, hopefully a momentum changer.

Im hoping Brodeur's play from the last wo periods carries over. This was as big a win that I've seen in a few years

[Gvac]

I was thinking that as soon as the OT started. If NJ lost in over time and then came home down 3 games to 1 they'd be feeling pretty low. If they won, they tied up the series and are coming home with 2 of the possible three games on their ice.

It was pretty much a "next goal wins the series" type feeling.
