Volourn Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Like I said, they gave up so now they are actively helping the Devils score. :D DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVala Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ya know, I'm surprised the Rangers scored 1 (lucky). The Dev's, of course, scored 4 (1 thanks to the Rangers ) "Great intelligence usually goes hand in hand with great stupdity."

Deraldin Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Damnit Volourn, if you're going to lose, can't you atleast give Brodeur a shutout? Those 2 goals have cost me 6 points in my pool so far. :angry: Atleast Montreal won again, although it was much closer tonight. 6-5 in double overtime and they take a 2-0 series lead back home.

Krookie Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Sharks play tomorow, hope they win. I've got $20.00 on them. this may not have been the smartest bet I've made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I thought I read somewhere that there were concerns that there were still health concerns with Lundqvist when he came off his injury, since he gave up like 11 goals in two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well, it may not be health issues, but it does sound like they think he may need some more time since coming off the IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 It's been a decent night to be a hockey fan. One letdown (NYR-NJ), one rout (BUF-PHI), double OT for the Canes and Habs, and a comeback for Dallas against the Avs. I'll have to agree with Volo that the Rangers are done. Although I was watching more of the Buffalo drubbing of the Flyers. By the third period TSN pretty much switched to the Devils game and didn't pre-empt the Colorado one like first planned. I'm miffed because I missed the second Buffalo hat trick. Now I'm worried who is going to get the air time tomorrow for the late game. Will it be the Oilers or the CBCs spring version of the Leafs, Calgary? Aside from Ron MacLean it seems like the entire network staff is convinced the Flames are the next coming of Jebus. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) CBC has mentioned that the Edmonton game is the Canada-wide telecast. Calgary I believe is Southern Alberta, and maybe parts of BC. I think there's some BC. Edited April 25, 2006 by alanschu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 that was one great match yesterday... for the canadians. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Hurlshort Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'm not too surprised by Carolina and Dallas looking at a fast exit. Carolina is weak on defense and experience. They also haven't had to battle much lately, whereas Montreal has been playing for their lives the last month. Dallas is a shootout team. Without the shootout they would have less than 100 points. They would have been fighting for a playoff spot. Still, I'm shocked how badly Turco is playing. Colorado isn't much better, in fact I'd say the only difference between the two teams is the goaltending. They match up pretty evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I am shocked by Dallas opening up a can of suck as well. Of course if they were playing the Oil in the first round you know they wouldn't be phoning it in like they are doing now. Here comes another night of Mark " I just quit my job at 7-11" Lee and John " I like the Oilers, no wait, the Canucks, no, the Flames" Garrett and their insipid commentary. Lee ****s his pants with every shot Detroit takes and Garrett stays silent for the most part, like he can't believe the guy next to him is actually getting paid money for what he's doing.

alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) I get the impression with Garrett (and lots of sportscasters) that they have a bias towards who they think their expected audience is. It's not surprising that he focuses a good chunk on the Oilers in a Detroit-Edmonton series. I'd expect him to pick the Flames in a Calgary-Anaheim series as well. As for Carolina and Dallas, it makes sense. I picked Turco and Gerber in my pools. I also picked Lidstrom (0 points), Forsberg (1 point), and Jagr. At least Heatley has SOME points. Thornton? Shut down! Thankfully Cheechoo was able to salvage something. I am so hideously in last place in my pool it's not even funny.

At least Thorton and Shanahan have at least one point, but Afinoganov is still holding at 0. Also have Brisebois and Redden at 0 points as well, but they are defencemen so they at least have something of an excuse. Kovalev and Elias hold top spot so far on my team with 8 points each. Current ranking 6675 / 43631 :thumbsdown: I dropped 4000 places because I only gained 10 points last night.

alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 No Kovalev or Elias for me. How is Afinoganov pointless? LOL. Crazy....team scores 8 goals and he, a talented offensive player, doesn't get any. It was goofy...three hatricks in one evening of playoff hockey.

Hurlshort Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I seriously have no clue who the Sabres are. Chris Drury is the only name I even recognize from seasons past. They are a serious surprise this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I agree! Them, as well as Carolina, surprised me the most this season. Though Buffalo is carrying on their success. I guess I should have picked Miller to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Briere is putting up the points. These are the players that I have in my pool. Joe ThorntonJason Spezza Brendan Shanahan Daniel Briere Jonathan Cheechoo Robert Lang Patrik Elias Saku Koivu Maxim Afinogenov Bryan Smolinski Alexei Kovalev Petr Prucha Scott Niedermayer Wade Redden Dion Phaneuf Janne Niinimaa Brian Rafalski Patrice Brisebois Miikka Kiprusoff Martin Brodeur Senators Ottawa Red Wings Detroit I'm thinking that Kiprusoff might have been a mistake. He's a great goalie but when you lose 2 points for every loss by that goalie it's making me a little nervous. He would have only gotten 10 points over the course of the 2004 playoffs because nearly every series went to 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I didn't pick Kiprusoff because I was thinking Anaheim's hot play would upset them. Go go anaheim! I'm like 41000 on the Sportsnet pool. Dead last in the group that I am in (8 or so people) by about 4 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
