Do you guys mind if I make another thread with second round discussions?

i'd just leave it

Depends on the hockey gods. Historically & with few exceptions, they crap on Boston & think Montreal is the cat's meow. I remember watching Billy Guerin bounce a puck off the knob of Theodore's stick while his jockstrap was in Row 15. The hockey gods are Francophones, don't you know.

What DarthH said especially if Montreal is able to get under the B's skin and frustrate them out of Claude's system. Also, Budaj has a lot of confidence at the Garden. Does anyone know if the Habs are planning to use both goaltenders in the series - I would if I were them.

If the hockey gods were francophones, why did Colorado lose then?

Because they were smiting Roy for the media's pathetic worshipping of him instead of them.

That is to say, they smote him.

Once again, Patrick Roy ends a season with a game seven OT loss to Minnesota.

He stopped us back in 93 stanley cup finals so no sympathy for him.

Canucks shaking things up by outing Tortorella and Sullivan. Islanders grabbing Halak too.

Tough crowd for the Hart Trophy this year: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Oh man, both of those are solid lists this year. I think for Lady Byng I'd pick O'Reilly. For Hart, I'm bias toward Crosby of course, especially since it'd peeve so many people. Giroux would be my very close 2nd pick though.

Why all the negative vibes for the Wild? They outplayed the "Avs" and came back when they needed to - 4 times in one game. They deserve to be in the second round as much as anyone.

As if Byfuglien isn't on this list.

I don't really have "negative vibes" for them at all. I just don't imagine them coming out on top. If they do, great though!

He's up for the Dunkin Donuts Trophy.

I just like typing out "Byfuglien". That is some fulfilling s**t.

Not from me. I commented how happy I was they won. I like Mike Yeo and Ilya Bryzgalov, so it was cool to see them tie it up then win it in OT. I'm not sure there is a better moment in professional sports than OT of a game seven NHL playoff game.

To me the Hart is a no brainer. Pens had the most man games lost this year, and at times were playing with half their AHL affiliate in the lineup. Crosby played consistently at a high level all year and no one even came close to touching him in the points race. He was easily the best player in the league this year.

After witnessing the spectacle that is the Boston anthem singer, I often wonder if actually watching the game is necessary. The show isn't going to get any better than that.
