IronChefShark Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I was just at the NHLPA website and I was overlooking the standings. check this, this is how the western conference first round looks as of 2-17-03 2:52 am1-Colorado vs 8-Dallas - good blood matchup right there2-Detroit vs 7-St Louis - safe to say there is hatred here?3-San Jose vs 6-Los Angeles - this is the matchup all of California has been waiting for!4-Vancouver vs 5-Calgary - western Canadian bragging rights!the east looks like this:1-Philadelphia vs 8-NY Islanders - its NY vs Philly, come on!2-Toronto vs 7-Montreal - 'nuff said!3-Tampa Bay vs 6-New Jersey - for all you fans of defensive hockey!4-Ottawa vs 5-Boston - again we have an interdivision matchup!all in all, six of the eight possible first round matchups are within the same division, and if that dont make for a good playoffs, what else will? My top three: San Jose-Los Angeles, Detroit-St Louis, and the best one of them all: Toronto-Montrealof course, as close as things are now, this can change overnight. but it wouldnt bother me one bit to see it end up like this!

STL FANATIC Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I'm counting on the Blues to move up to at least 5th. Still would have a great matchup for them as it would likely mean Vancouver again. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well the Blues need to get healthy if they have a chnace to climb up the ladder.I know MacInnis is done for the season but what about all the other injuries? www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 First off, a shock alone that the Sharks are in first place and have the number "3" seed with a division lead (although 5th in conference) is a suprise along with Calgary.A San Jose-Los Angeles series would be HUGE! This was one series that fans from both teams would love. There's Dodgers-Giants, Angels-A's, Lakers-Warriors/Kings. Shoot! Even SaberCats-Avengers, Earthquakes-Galaxy, and even Stealth-Storm for you lacrosse fans.An all California series could dramatically change the front page of the sports page which would have a blurb about the NHL playoffs and news on how Opening Day in baseball took place. Like I said during some rule changes, the game needs to be exposed more. LA is currently focusing on the Lakers and no one else. While the Sharks are having this unbelivable run, I hear more about everything else BUT Sharks in sports. As for the other series, I would eventually like to see Toronto-Ottawa AGAIN! Also, what about Boston-Montreal? That's a classic before that series would start. If Minnesota were to get in, picture a Dallas-Minnesota series? Needless to say, this might be the best playoffs in years...and it might be the one we'll be talking about for years...thanks to Bettman and Goodenow. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hopefully the Devils can move up higher than 6th... they might get 4th, and if they can put a run in, they might be able to catch Philly and nab first. It's a tight race in the east, as always.......but where are the Rangers???BWUAHAhaaAHahAHAAhAHAHAhahaHAHAHAahAHAHAHahahAH!!!!!!

habsfan1 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I hope the Canadiens will at least make the playoffs. There are facing many "defeatable" opponents this week but they seem incapable to seize a good number of victories. But if they do make the playoffs, wiht theo in net, they can be tough to beat. They almost made the conference finals 2 years ago.As for the rest of the playoffs, i'll be cheering for the sens and canucks if the habs will be out of the postseason.
