Volourn Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 So, the Dominator leads Detroit to victory. This means I was 3-1 in that round with my only false call was the Rangers. I am 10-2, overall. Not too shabby. Conference Finals -------------------- 1. Buffalo vs. Ottawa: Tough call; but I think Miller will get the job done in the end. - Buffalo in 7 2. Detroit vs. Anaheim: Interesting match up. Anaheim looks unbetaable, and Detroit has the Dominator. Flip a coin. - Detroit in 7 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Detroit vs. Anaheim: Interesting match up. Anaheim looks unbetaable, and Detroit has the Dominator. Flip a coin. - Detroit in 7 You are 10-2 so I think that makes me 9-3. My one wrong guess in the second round was I picked San Jose over Detroit. It was looking good in the first couple games, but then Detroit seemed to kick it up a notch and San Jose didn't seem to be able to match it. Conference Finals! 1. Buffalo vs Ottawa: Unless the Sabres manage to find another gear they are going down. Based on their play from both teams so far I'd give this to Ottawa in 5, but I think playing Ottawa will be what the Sabres need to get their game up. This one won't go down to the wire. It will be a much closer series than the final outcome will suggest, but I have to give it to Ottawa in six. 2. Anaheim vs. Detroit: Really difficult match up to predict. Both teams were dominant in their second round victories. I unfortunately did not get a chance to watch either team much, but if Volo is going with Detroit in seven, I'll have to go with Anaheim in seven just to be different.
Hurlshort Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Yeah I'll pick Anaheim and Buffalo. I'm so bummed right now. I wonder what San Jose will do now? I don't think they will get rid of Wilson. Guerin will be gone, and Hannan is unrestricted now. They will probably try and work out a deal with either Rivet or Hannan, but not both. I still don't know which goalie they will trade, but it looks like Toskala will be the trade bait. He's got a cheap contract and he had a great regular season, so the Sharks should get a decent value for him. Some folks are talking about Marleau being traded, but that's tough. I guess if it was for Drury, I can see it, but Marleau is still a mainstay in the organization. Yzerman and Sakic have had rough playoff series as well, but you don't trade a captain after just one bad round. Marleau's playoff numbers are pretty staggering over the years.

On the predictions front, at least I'm ahead of Jeremy Roenick. He's 8-4 so far. Maggie is 7-5 now. McKenzie and Duthie are tied with Volo and Dreger and Pang are ahead of the curve. TSN Predictions
mkreku Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Detroit vs. Anaheim. Lidstr Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Deraldin Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Hah! This is great. Playoff bets. The Ontario Premier and the New York Governor are betting on the outcome of the Sens-Sabres series. A months supply of Tim Hortons Coffee vs a supply of buffalo wings from Anchor Bar in Buffalo.
Oerwinde Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Hah! This is great. Playoff bets. The Ontario Premier and the New York Governor are betting on the outcome of the Sens-Sabres series. A months supply of Tim Hortons Coffee vs a supply of buffalo wings from Anchor Bar in Buffalo. The bet between the mayor of Vancouver and the mayor of Anaheim I believe was that the losing mayor had to wear the winning team's jersey in their next press conference The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Seems like a pretty standard bet though. And did this thread just completely die now that everyone else's teams are out?

As the only Canadian team still in the playoffs, I'm obligated to cheer for them. Well... that and I don't like any of the other teams. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Hurlshort Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I'm a bit dead inside, but I'm still reading the thread. Detroit beating Anaheim will soothe my pains a bit, as that means the Sharks lost to a team that went to the Cup. I don't really have a favorite in the East. I think Alfredson deserves a Cup, and this is a good year for him to do it.
Deraldin Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Ack. This Buffalo-Ottawa game is much more nerve-wracking than game one. Ottawa just managed to tie it up 2-2a few minutes ago. It seems to be going the exact opposite of game one so far. Two early goals for Buffalo in the first followed by a late goal from Ottawa and the tying goal from Ottawa in the second period. I just hope this trend doesn't continue with three third period goals by Buffalo.
Deraldin Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Oh, that's painful. Buffalo ties the game at 3 with 5.8 seconds left. Somehow I just knew it was going to happen, but that doesn't mean it was any easier to swallow. :sad:
Deraldin Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Sorry for the triple post: OTTAWA TAKES A 2-0 SERIES LEAD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEAM HISTORY!
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I still can't decide who I want to advance in the west. I hate Anaheim with a passion, but Detroit is one of those teams where you just go 'meh'. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
mkreku Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I just want Lidstr Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Deraldin Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Booyah! 3-0 series lead! This has sweep written all over it. For a must win game 3, Buffalo only managed 15 shots on Emery? That is not going to win a game.
mkreku Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Alfredsson's ninth goal! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Hurlshort Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Alfredsson's ninth goal! Alfredsson has always been underrated in my eyes. It's good to see him finally getting a crack at the cup.
Deraldin Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Alfredsson's ninth goal! He just tied Heatley for 45 points and top point producer in my pool. Too bad I can only have one or the other.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Hmm, only a one game suspension for Pronger. It should have been 90. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Deraldin Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Hmm, only a one game suspension for Pronger. It should have been 90. Yeah, but you knew that wasn't going to happen.
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Sadly, this will probably ignite that giant lanky bastard. Look out for game five. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Volourn Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 90? L0L Oiler fans are funny. I don't think the hit was as bad as some think. It was still bad. I think suspesnsion for the rets of this series would have beena cceptable; but I can see why theys ettled on 1 game consideirng the suspesnions they've handed down earlier in the play offs that were much worse. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Deraldin Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Booyah! And Ottawa is into the finals! Alfie scores the game winner in OT on a 1-on-3.
