Never really liked Emrick as a commentator. Probably a really cool dude though.

Pens, Hawks outdoor game

The one thing i first thought with the Ducks jersey choice is that it was a superstition call from the up-tops in the organization because the last time the Ducks were 2nd in the West, they wore those jerseys (Pre-Edge of course) and won the Cup.

Either that or they're in the mood for "boring". Then again Burke's currently there as a part time scout so I wonder if he's had a say in it

Yeah, I'm not happy with the jersey choice.

I'd like to see the thirds too, but personally I waiting for them to bring out these jerseys

[wildwing64]

I'm hoping those things will never see action in an Anaheim Ducks game.

Honestly, the Wild Wing jerseys are the opposite of the Gorton's jerseys for me. If you put the regular logo and NOB font on the WW jersey, it would have been a perfectly acceptable third, whereas a properly-colored Gorton's logo would have probably worked well on a normal Isles jersey.

[wildwing64]

Horrific as that one is I'd still take it over the first movie jersey. At least the classic Ducks logo is on there somewhere.

[The Six]

Apparently the Blues tweeted this, then deleted it. Can't be too edgy out there in the midwest, I guess.

Luongo will get the start tonight in Game 1.

[Morgan33]

Luongo has something to prove tonight and I'm confident he can bounce back after that embarassing game against Edmonton

[CS85]

Nope. I've heard from a few reliable people that they'll be wearing this:

...and that Goldberg will drop the puck.

Oh, so you're a Canucks fan again?

[JQK]

Emrick can take the highway for publicly calling out soccer during an MLS on NBC promo aired in last year's Cup playoffs.

So glad his Devils lost last year; it's called "karma" for him.

He wasn't wrong...

And Doc is the best announcer, i think, in any of the 4 bigs...

[BLUELANDbeliever]

Outdoor game featuring the Pens...again. Why does he keep creating reasons to make people hate my favorite team? Could we PLEASE mix this up? Involve Minnesota, St. Louis, Columbus, etc already.

Updated the bracket to reflect results after the games last night. If one of the mods wants to edit the top feel free. The link should be in my sig. I'll update the wallpaper page every couple of days with the appropriate results.

Looks like some good games tonight. Here are the matchups:

GO SHARKS!!
