alanschu Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Something is wrong, it only took 2 minutes for the two home games to be sold out.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Did you get tickets Alan? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Did you get tickets Alan? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nay. My friend was third in line at ticketmaster and they were sold out.
Volourn Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Devils wasted all that ahrd work on the Rangers.. should ahve saved some of it for a team that's actually a challenge... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Did you get tickets Alan? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nay. My friend was third in line at ticketmaster and they were sold out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Sun/Journal said this morning that there were only 300 tickets available. If I lived in Edmonton I'd do my best to have season tickets. Nosebleeds fo sho, but season tickets nonetheless. And here is some good natured Leaf bashing. We haven't forgot about you Mkreku!!!

Krookie Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Sharks game starts soon, any predictions? I'm thinking Sharks are gonna be down going into the 3rd, but they'll come back. 4-3 win.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Best of luck to your team, Hurlshot. Even though I think mine will win. :ph34r: And way to go Colorado!!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Sharks played very, very well. Held on for the 1 goal lead. I don't know if Edmonton really played as poorly as it looked, but rather the Sharks just played really, really well.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I'd say a nice mixture of both. Marleau's one-timer in the first was wicked beautiful. And Edmonton couldn't adjust to the wisening of the Sharks' PK. Of course our PK was perfect, but getting two shots in a period is nothing to be happy about. Maybe MacTavish will have to revert to the trap on Monday. Hopefully some Oilers had their eyes opened tonight. I wonder who'll suit up for Dvorak? I'd say Todd Harvey. He's a bit more of a mucker than Laraque, who just seems good at firing weak backhands and holding on to the puck in the corner. San Jose had a pretty vocal crowd tonight. In the third it dawned on me 'why can't the NHL go back to the old system of home whites?'. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I wouldn't be too surprised if Jacques gets a look-see, because he's a fast high-energy player. I'm not sure if Harvey is healthy enough either. Good to see Pronger turn away when Niemminen got that late hit in. I'm surprised nothing was called on that actually. The play had been dead for quite some time, and it was clear it was going to be dead because of a high stick some time before. Ville continued to zoom in, and after Pronger took the puck and skated around, he got stapled into the boards pretty good.
Hurlshort Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 I'm thinking Harvey because he has history with the Sharks. Might be a little motivation to pay back the team that cut you. The trap won't work the same way against the Sharks as it did against the Wings. Both Sharks goals were because the big forwards on Marleau's line were cycling the puck along the boards. The Red Wings players don't do well along the boards, they are a fast transition team but not a grinding one. The Oilers need to hit more if they want to even it out. They might take a few penalties, but they've got a decent PK system. The Sharks were way more physical last night. I swear though, Thornton is snake bit. He had another huge opportunity last night that he couldn't bury. He also set up Ekman a few times and Ekman failed to pull the trigger. I'm guessing Mark Smith will be moving up to his line pretty much every night.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 One of the things that I enjoyed about last night's game was that there were no 5 on 3 PPs, and that it seemed like everyone was finishing their checks. I don't know if I agree that Niemminen had fifteen hits, but he was a hopping. Plus Ethan Moreau seemed to find his stride big time last night. And Alan implied that Harvey is injured, so it looks like we'll be dressing teh big number 27 instead. And I read in the paper this morning that the Sharks maxed out their decibal meter at 107. That's just one shy of the Oilers who clocked in at 108. Do you know if the Tank was sold out last night, Hurlie? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Hurlshort Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 All the playoff games are sold out. I believe they sold out in a couple hours. This isn't Nashville, we pack the Tank Bummer about Harvey, I was hoping to see him play again. It's pretty odd that we have a back to back, but I guess it's no problem since both teams are young.
alanschu Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 It took you a couple of hours? Ours sold out in THREE MINUTES!
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) There is a lot more competition for your entertainment dollar in SJ than Edmonton, I would think. Aren't we playing the back to back games because the ice capades or something was in the HP Pavillion? And I see on the Scores' ticker that big Georges will be dressing for Dvorak. He's pretty much been the poster boy for suck this year ( again) but sometimes in the playoffs he can really step it up a notch. Of course that was in the old NHl, mind you. Skate harder you big dude, you!! 2 hours, twenty minutes to game time. Should I watch the other games tonight or the DVD of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins? Hmmm, tough choice...

Kor Qel Droma Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) What a gorram good second period. San Jose killing off the five on three while only one of their players had a stick was completely amazing. I hate having to get up early for work when there is good hockey on late. <_< Edited May 9, 2006 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 The hockey forums are rife with morons that think the Oilers just putting in the effort. In terms of physical intensity and emotion, last night's game was fantastic.
Hurlshort Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I don't know if my heart can handle many more of these 2-1 games. That was seriously intense. I've got to give props to Peca and Roloson. If Peca doesn't block the dang shot, Roloson gobbles it up very well. That 5-3 was the most amazing PK I have ever seen. It was a bit tarnished by the goal during the 5-4, but the fact is Edmonton could have had two goals in that time. I seriously don't know how the PKers managed to stay in the lanes and even make plays without sticks. Eventually one of them dove to the ice and literally threw the puck out of the zone. Brilliant. On to Edmonton!
alanschu Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 I was a bit disappointed when we didn't score on that 5-on-1, but we scored right at the end of the PP so I was a bit forgiven.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Edmonton needs more puck support in San Jose's zone and less neutral zone turnovers. That being said, the Sharks are slightly less dominant when playing away from home. Here's hoping there is a really big win for the Oil tomorrow night. Please jebus don't let us be swept!!!

Deraldin Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Hurray! All of my teams are on their way to being swept!
