alanschu Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I was talking with my friend and he agreed with my description that the Red Wings look like the Terminator of the NHL. Ruthlessly efficient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelverin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yawn Both Pit and Det up 3-0. So does either Dal or Philly win an obligatory game, or are they both done? J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 If they're both swept, that would be the first time I've ever seen both Conference finals being sweeps. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've watched a lot of games from this years play-offs, and you know what's missing? Those really bone-crunching hits! Maybe I was spoiled by always having to watch Stevens steamroll over my Leafs every year, but it really feels like the NHL is missing those great hitters of yesteryear. I mean, I know Phaneuf can lay out anyone in the league, but.. He didn't seem to step it up at all in the play-offs. And sure, lots of series have been physical, but I am talking about those EXTRA special hits, the ones that send a shiver down your spine when you watch them. Anyone remember ? I've also been watching the World Championship of hockey and I must say that some of those games have been way more physical than the NHL play-offs! Isn't that weird? It might be because the difference between the best players on the best teams and the worst players on the worst teams is so much bigger, but still.. Murray levels Morozov (Yes, that is Kovalchuk beating up young Anton Str Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Phaneuf was pretty impressive in his seven game series, as was Iginla. He managed 7 points I believe, 3 of which were goals, and he had some big hits. He just didn't have a supporting cast. They still managed to go seven games.

Hurlshort Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Oh hey, lets not forget the whole 33 year gap between 3-0 comebacks. So will it be Philly or Dallas? Dallas made the first step towards an upset already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor Qel Droma Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 No sweep for you either, Pittsburgh. I have an old Adam Oates Flyers t-shirt that I decided to wear today. Luck? Coincidence? Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 3-0 for Detroit after one period. Looking good for the Swedes! Although nothing is certain yet. Dallas has looked very sharp whenever they've had the puck in the offensive zone. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Deraldin Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think Duthie is on to something here. Also, thanks for nothing Dallas! Because of you I went 0-2 in that round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think I picked the Pens last round, so I went 1-1. I like Detroit for the Cup though. I think defensively they are just too strong. Pittsburgh will hopefully make it exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Went 2-0 that round. I'm 10-4 overall, I believe. Wings will beat Pens in 7 games... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kor Qel Droma Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 This one is tough to call. One the one hand you have the offensive juggernaut known as Pittsburgh. On the other, you have a balanced team plus the best defenceman in the league. I'm going to go with the Pens. Only because Gonchar was robbed of a cup playing for Washington all those years.

mr insomniac Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Pens in 6. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I think it'll be a tough series since both teams are so good. It's difficult to predict who will win since their playing styles are so different, with Detroit's machine-like puck possession game and Pittsburgh's individual-skill based offensive game. I suspect the series will go like the Detroit - Dallas series though: even series, Detroit goes up 3-2 and finishes it in the sixth game. I also suspect the difference maker might be the goalie in a series like this. Fleury has played amazing and Osgood too, but Fleury has looked somewhat sharper to me. He is what worries me in my prediction. We'll see. If Detroit wins, it'll be the first time ever a team led by a European-born captain has hoisted the Cup!
