Hurlshort Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 Unfortunately Finland and Russia are playing in the next game, but I do think that's the game for the gold medal. The loser will probably take bronze. They are very dominant this year. Selanne and Ovechkin are awesome. Why did Malkin get suspended? I watched the game and don't remember anything bad.

mkreku Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Please, if there is a god, let Sundin come back to the NHL with the same form he has shown in the Olympics and let the Leafs turn this around so they make the playoffs Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Kor Qel Droma Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm just glad meaningfull hockey returns tonight. *Turns on TV* Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Oh yeah, the meaningful 82 games before the real show Of course, I wouldn't call the Olympics meaningful if my Dream Team finished seventh overall either ) Edit: Annoying repeating of words.

Kor Qel Droma Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Hey I was cheering for the Czechs. Canada needed to come back to reality. I think that was accomplished. I notice your Leafs are tied, Mkreku. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Yeah, Kilger wreaking havoc, drawing penalties. One of them finally paid off as Tucker scored. Though I wonder why the Leafs seem to have such a hard time playing against Washington? Everyone else sees Washington as child's play! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Hurlshort Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Alright back to business. I need the Sharks to beat Detroit. Luckily all the swedes will be out of the line-up, that should soften the Wings a bit.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Somebody poke the Lightning with a stick. They're down 7-0 to Florida. In the second. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The Flyers aren't looking too hot either. Jagr on the other hand.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Volourn Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Stupid Rangers should be playing Lundqvist; but otherwise WOO HOO! 3 points and counting for Mr. MVP! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Stupid Rangers should be playing Lundqvist; but otherwise WOO HOO! 3 points and counting for Mr. MVP! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you talking about Joe Thornton? Because after he pushes the Sharks into the playoffs, he'll easily be ahead of Jagre for the scoring title.
Volourn Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
alanschu Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Joe is having a helluva season too. Still hoping for a fix from you goaltending woes. Mkreku might be happy, because there is a rumour that Belfour might possibly be it. At which point he'll hopefully regain old form, win Conn Smythe leading us to the Stanley Cup
Hurlshort Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Somehow I don't think Volourn takes Joe Thornton seriously. That's typical of the entire league though, West Coast teams are not given much respect. Let's face it, the Western Conference is way deeper than the Eastern. The Rangers would not even make the playoffs if they were in the Western conference. West Coast teams also have a huge amount of travelling to do. I wish the Sharks were in the Eastern Conference, they went 9-1 this season against Eastern teams.
Volourn Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) "Somehow I don't think Volourn takes Joe Thornton seriously." Huh? I like Joe Thorton a lot. In fact, I thought how Boston treated him was garbage. And, as Mkreku stated, Thornton *is* having a hell of a season. No doubt about it. In any other year, he'd be one of my faves for MVP too; but what Jagr has done for the Rangers is phenomenal. "The Rangers would not even make the playoffs if they were in the Western conference." Proof please. When one deals in what ifs you should at least stop playing the guessing game. Edited March 3, 2006 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Oerwinde Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I wish the Sharks were in the Eastern Conference, they went 9-1 this season against Eastern teams. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't most western teams do that though? What bothers me is how Detroit is in the Western Conference. Aren't they an Eastern team? The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
alanschu Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The Rangers are only 5-4-1 against western conference teams. The East is getting eaten up by the Pacific Division.
Hurlshort Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Unfortunately with the 10 game limit on out of conference play, it's tough to give much proof on my claim, although Alanschu presented what evidence is available. I might have spoken a bit soon by saying the Rangers wouldn't be in the playoffs. I do think they'd be fighting for a spot if they played in the West, because the west is just much more competitive. There are 12 teams over .500 in the West and only 8 in the East.
Volourn Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) 1. 10 games is simply not enough to judge this. 2. By, and large; the best teams in the East do well against the West (.500+). 3. Montreal, Toronto and Boston are the only .500 Eastern Conference teams that are under .500 vs the West and the .500 records are already suspect due to all the OT/SO losses they have. 4. Accoridng to your logic, Washington would be a pretty damn good team in the West consideirng the fact they have a horrible overall record; they did well vs. the West. 5. The West picking on Pittsburgh doesn't proof much. And, Torontojust seems to be the exception that proves the rule. 6. LA should be really thankful it's not in the East.

alanschu Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The East has acquired 159 points against the West, with the West capturing 177 points against the East. I guess this would be in 300 games as each team plays 10 interconference games....or I guess it'd be 150 games, since I counted each game twice.
Hurlshort Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Man, I'm way bummed I can't watch the Sharks/Oilers game tonight. It's not on TV at all in the Bay Area, which is crazy. It should be a doozy! Hopefully Toskala stays hot for me.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 No goals till the third. Oilers score only to have the Sharks respond the next shift. Then San Jose takes the lead. Then the Oilers tie the game and score with just over a minute left for the win. Sorry Hurlshot. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
