Hockey Playoffs...

Recommended Posts

After sizing things up, I'm going to have to say the Sharks will take Lord Stanley's Cup, this year. Along with the President's Trophy and their coach will get 'Coach of the Year'. He was a former assistant coach to Mike Babcock in Annaheim and Detroit. This is his first year as Coach. He's led the Sharks to the top of the standings. The Sharks have speed and size and ability. I really would like to see the Wings do better but, They just don't seem to have what it takes to win the 'Cup'. [:/]

The only wasy that's going to happen is if the Sharks are lucky enough to avoid the ducks through the playoffs. ;)B|

The playoff scenarios for the West are still completely up in the air...with 4 teams still in contention for 2 spots. Could easily have the Ducks and Sharks in the first round or Wings and Ducks. Or...the Ducks could conceivably wind up out of the playoffs. We'll know in a couple of days who meets who!

I don't know, what San Jose's record is this past season against the Ducks but, this being play-off time, anything can happen. I have to give the ducks a lot of credit but, I think, San Jose has a bit of an edge. I don't think, the Wings have a chance against either team. That's sad, too. With all the talent Detroit has. Maybe, they should have 'gooned-up' for the play-offs like San Jose and Annaheim?!

Yup but the Ducks only need 1 win or 2 points to clinch. Remaining games are vs Stars and Coyotes. Considering their gameplay...we got it.

Just think how much they'd like to be the spoilers! And on the flip side... the Ducks are going to want to clinch real bad.

In the East we could have Habs-Bruins in the first round...a classic match-up but one destined to disappoint old Habs fans like myself. I'm just glad the Habs made it to the playoffs. For them to miss in their Centenary year would have been pretty sad.

The team that no one in this thread has mentioned is going to win it all.

That team is the Philadelphia Flyers.



The Flyers. God I hope not! My hate for them and Bobby Clarke is now in its fourth decade. I hope that I die without ever seeing them hoist the Cup again.

That being said, Clarke has provided me with a couple of good laughs over the years. Most recently when he was cutting up Eric Lindros (a player I've always despised...even more than the Flyers) during their feud and a long time ago when Hockey Night in Canada introduced a "Sounds of the Game" feature that was LIVE. Bruce Hood, the referee, sent Clarke to the penalty box, the camera was on Clarke, the microphone was turned on and Clarke yelled "HOOD YOU FUCKIN QUEER!" Profuse apologies from the CBC announcers and the end of the experiment. Haha!

The Sharks couldn't even beat the LA Queens this afternoon



They didn't need to. So why bother? :ph34r:


Exactly. The Sharks knew on Friday, they had the 'President's Cup', 'division title' and home ice advantage through the play-offs. The big question... how long will they last?

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Time to 'crank it up'! Looks like, The ducka are going to have a hand-full with The Sharks! That, should be a good series!!!
The Wings, get The Blue Jackets! I recall a play-off series when J.S. Giguere(sp) was a very HOT rookie goalie and The Ducks, took-out The Wings in the first round. Now, The Wings are facing Mason, who is the HOT rookie goalie this year. The Jackets have given Detroit fits, all season. It don't look good for The Wings! There's some really good match-ups this year!

Ths Sharks are gonna have their hands full with the Ducks too. I predict multiple instances of fisticuffs! :D


You can count on it! With the addition of Claude Lemeux, it could get real ugly!

edit to add: How could I forget Pronger? With him playing for The Ducks going against Lemeux? Things could get real interesting!

And what he did to Kharlamov in the '72 Summit Series was the all time hockey cheap shot.:P



I think that was when I first understood the true meaning of sin. I knew it was wrong, but I was hoping Kharlamov was gone for the series so bad anyway.


I would rank that up there as one of the most despicable acts committed in a hockey arena. Your reaction really sums it up nicely.
