Nhl:08-09

feck off Bruins and Ducks.

Pronger you cheating cnut.

I'm sure that Mrs Pronger has been telling him to cheat, my estimation of this pond life dropped the day he put in a trade request from the Oilers.

My head says Wings/Pens, but my heart is hoping for a Hawks/Pens final. I'm still scared from the Canes last show in the finals, to see them back there.
 
Thought Detroit looked a class apart today. Franzén, Cleary and Zetterberg played great together. Is this year too early for Chicago or can they turn it around? I really was expecting more from them after their second round series against Vancouver.
 
THE TRAP !!!

Detroit neutral zone D hasn't looked this good since, well last year when they won the cup... they know how to use their energy, they sucked it right out of the Blackhawks and look like they have this series by the scruff.
 
Chicago play the best they've played all year and STILL lose.

Gotta win both at home now, tall order but the Hawks have done it before.
 
I hope the Pens get revenge on the Wings for last year.
 
Repeat final by the looks.

It's almost as if the NBA and NHL switched... these NHL series should be close and the NBA ones blowouts.
 
Even though we'll probably see a repeat final, I prefer it this way. The conference finals have been pretty disappointing and Detroit and Pittsburgh are obviously the best teams left.

6-1 without Datsyuk and Lidström is impressive, but as a (semi-)neutral fan I prefer close, intense games over blow-outs like this one.
 
Say that here and you'd be strapped and beaten with a Sidney Crosby brand hockey stick.

He's like jesus here... no lie... in his Rokie year, the Cole Harbour district elective spent nearly 150K on 2 signs:

Thats his parents (His father is a prick) and his sister.
 

fecking shameful it is... we have shit roads, shit funding for youth sport, and our texes go to make a sign for a guy who has yet to win a Cup... where we have 2 players who're born and lived in Cole Harbour (Joey DiPenta & JS Giguere) that have already won a cup and Gigger was Conn Smythe winner, even when they LOST.

Yeah, the Crosby love can get a bit much at times and where you live it must be pretty brutal. 150k on that sort of thing is ridiculous. Still seems like a nice guy. I read somewhere that he gave a ton of hockey gear to underprivileged kids (and without making a big fuss about it).

Why is his father a prick? He does look a bit creepy.

Nice to see you posting again btw.
 
So walking down the main street in Cole Harbour in a Red Wings shirt shouting "Ovechkin is god" isn't a good idea then? :)

He's a generous guy, nice isn't the word though, doesn't acknowledge anyone older who wants to talk, actually goes to and leaves the local gym with a hood over his face and a "bodyguard" next to him... he does have a holier than thou personality from time to time, but he's donated gear, and purchased new jerseys for the minor hockey league team he played for.

His dad is a media hugging, attention seeking prick... he once told a kid to "feck off" when he came to the door to get an autograph from Crosby after his World Jr. Win... that got into the media too :lol:

You would have things thrown at you from all angles :lol:

:lol: Well, that's certainly a cnutish thing to do.
 
Guess so. Tried to watch the first period, but couldn't really get into another game yesterday.

Anyhow, I think we can look forward to a great final. I hope Detroit can get their stars fit for the first game.
 
If it's as close and entertaining as last year, I say bring it on again

My prediction: Penguins in 6
 
Detroit in 7...maybe 6.

I would say 5 or 6 if the Wings were healthy.

Reason I think Pittsburgh nicks this series, winning one in Detroit.

They looked a bit winded, not much rest and back-to-back nights... I think the younger legs in Pittsburgh will pull it off this year.
 
I think they will be healthy enough. I read that Lidström and Datsyuk will be back for game 1.

I say Detroit in 7.
 
If he can keep it up and the Red Wings win the SC, he's got the Conn Smyth in the bag imo.
 
Welcome back Joey!! I expect great things from the #25. Next year is our year, with or without Bouwmeester..
 
Dallas' shift of their front office is a sight to see, great job by them to re-define positions in hockey.

As for my Habs, Martin is only in the job because he's French, with every passing season I lose more and more faith in Gainey.
