Official NHL playoff thread

Did you see some of those saves Martin Brodeur made today wow

Actually no. My school doesn't give OLN to the students. They have directv and get it they just feed it to the students. Just another reason why USF sucks.

Anyway I had to listen to the radio broadcast over the internet. I'll be able to watch the condensed game on-demand when I get home friday.

8-2 sabres over the flyers. ouch.

with the way Esche is playing, no wonder USA flopped at the olympics.

I love how Leafs fans are still talking crap about the Sens... when the Leafs' current scoring shots involve eighteen hole courses instead of five-holes.

I wouldn't be a Leafs fan without bashing the Sens for when their success comes from us being better than them their entire existance! We were big, they got big, we had fighters, they got fighters, we had an old man in net, they got an old man in net, etc etc.

Apparently the method worked this year...especially since the Sens just destroyed the Leafs this season. Did the Leafs even beat them this year? It seemed like every score I saw had the Sens on top. Could be wrong.

I can say with confidence that Robert Esche was not a sieve tonight.

He was a fluffing FUNNEL.

Final series of the season we won 5-1. The first 2 games we played them went into the shoot out. So we didn't to too badly, we just met them when they were on their hot streak when we were on our cold one.

[Roger Clemente]

It's been quite a while since Ottawa won the last meeting between Ottawa and Toronto in any season.

And regarding that game from Ottawa the last post-season, I remember that game specifically vividly. It was just matter of finding a website that proves I what I remember.

--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

[ROCHitman]

@nd best game I've ever gone to the first one being in the 2004 playoffs vs. the leafs when Chara ( my favourite player) scored the wraparround in double overtime. That was nuts!

Well that shows how biased you are that you can remember your favorite player doing something that never happened.

--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

I'm sure Lalime was his favorite player when he won the series for Ottawa in game 7 of that series...oh wait...

BTW, RC, you are a god for somehow finding time to be able to go back and find out for sure to burn him. Bravo.

God I love that mask!

[ROCHitman]

8-2 sabres over the flyers. ouch.

Kudos to Miller for not getting involved.

Kudos to Ruff for saying "No Millsy!" when Miller wanted to enage Eschie.

Clearly, the U-S-A... U-S-A chants rattled Esche.

Yeah, Philly is done. The Eastern conference couldnt be any worse for me this year.

More like the Leafs had a season-long cold streak....

Hence why the only shots Mats Sundin and Co. are teeing up need a 3 wood instead of a hockey stick

theres still game 3 and I have worries this could be another wings/canucks series. where cloutier was amazing and the canucks were destroying the wings in the first 2 games, then in game 3 Cloutier let in a center ice shot and the wings took over the series from there and won the next 4 games. Im not saying Miller is Cloutier, but you never know how these series will turn out. Game 3 is very critical, because the flyers could take game 3 and turn it around and win the next 4 or the sabres could all but shut the door on the flyers. It'll be interesting how this plays out.

[WJMorris3]

Well, it's apparent that the Flyers are taking this Game 3 very seriously. They've brought out a recording of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" to start the game.

According to the Flyers' website, the Flyers are 64-15-3 when God Bless America is played before the start of the game.

I picked Phili to win the series so lets hope they can pull one out here.

EDIT: Looking back on my predictions, I'm way off already and have no chance of winning this thing. GO BUFFALO!

As much as I despise the Flyers, the Stanley Cup playoffs aren't complete until Mrs. Smith makes an appearance.

[jkrdevil]

Devils win 3-0. They scored 68 seconds into the game to quite the MSG Crowd. The Devils take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. They go for the sweep Saturday.

[Breakwood]

Ouch tonight's Habs-Canes game was hard to watch. I don't want to blame the ref's but there were some shady calls. First Koivu got sticked in the eye, in front of the ref and there is no call what-so-ever, and he left without returning. Now I'll admit that the penalty on Plekanec was a penalty, and that was the call that gave the Canes the winning Powerplay, but 5 seconds before that I think it was Markov, was tackled and there was no call.

But as I said I dont want to blame it on the refs. Cam Ward was amazing, and the habs missed many good oppertunities. But I think many will agree with me that the refs were not on top of their game today. Good job Carolina.

[Coast2CoastAM2006]

Game 4 is a must win game for the sabres. they drop game 4 and they go in to game 5 with the series tied and face the potential of losing the next two.

I don't know about that. The Sabres definitely want to win game 5, but I don't think its a must win. They've dismantled the Flyers all season and at home this series. Even though they lost 4-2, they were in it until the end until the empty netter ended it. I think that the Sabres can afford to go back to Buffalo tied 2-2, because the HSBC Arena will be rocking and they can feed off of that to win.
