NHL Playoffs!

[Jazzin']

They have Jose Theodore now. HAhahaaaaaha.

GO HABS GO
Habs will make it to cup final if we don't have to face Carolina along they way. Therefore GO CAROLINA (vs Tampa Bay tonight).

Yeah, I think a lot of people in Montreal are waiting to see Theodore choke in Colorado. The trade had to happen though because we were paying him too much for such an extended poor performance when we had a backup that was (and still is) playing so well. Aebischer is doing well too.

I'm a Habs fan that's still wondering how he won the Hart trophy. Not to take away from his accomplishments, but seriously???

Montréal seriously won out on that deal. Kicked a TON of salary to the curb, and allowed Huet to shine. Genius deal.

Why isn't NHL on TV anymore? I havn't seen one game on ESPN..

 

[jay_t]

Here its on The Altitude Network exclusively. That might be why.

Fear the Dallas Stars and our lousy ice. We're the only ones who know how to play on it. Opponents say it's like skating in sand.

Tampa Bay had that advantage when they won the cup. Even with the extra coolers brought in, they still couldn't keep the ice frozen.

ESPN dropped the NHL for more favorable events like Poker.
Outdoor Life Network (OLN) picked up where ESPN left off. Too bad so sad for Darren Pang.

And then it got even worse... they said they will not show OLN anywhere but Comcast, now people with dish only can get any NHL game besides home team by paying $300+ because Comcast refuses to show it to them...

 

[kserg]

Cheechoo hat-trick!!!

 

[Jazzin']

I hate hockey...

1. The Gophers lost, and the Badgers won it all, I get so much **** from my badger loving buddy.
2. The Wild didn't even make it to the playoffs because we have like 1 good defenseman
3. The top team at my school didn't win the national championship
4. My buddies team lost in the section chamionships, and didn't get to go to state(although I'm more sad for him than the team, because they weren't very good IMO)
5. Jamie McBain is going to be a Badger, which makes no sense because he was born and raised in Minnesota, until he left for NTDP. What did you people in Michigan do to him!?!?

The good thing about Toronto not making the playoffs is that at least you know we'll get some Hockey Night in Canada coverage of the Ottawa games and maybe Montreal. Otherwise, it's usually Hockey Night in Toronto with the play-by-play of Bob "Go Leafs Go" Cole.

Montreal still hasn't secured a playoff spot. Atlanta refuses to give up and Tampa is still around.

 

[robb.]

i would love to see atlanta overtake the lightning for the last playoff spot.

i'm really impressed with how detroit has been playing lately. our season series against the stars wasn't that impressive, but i challenge them to beat us in seven.

and i wouldn't be true detroit if i didn't also mention the pistons.

and because he was one of the greatest college goalies ever, and a hobey baker winner, with michigan state, i'm pulling for ryan miller and the buffalo sabres. my friend from niagra falls will appreciate it.

Ahh, Bob Cole. Personally I love the way he doesn't even know the names of the Ottawa players. Makes for a fun night. Unfortunately Saturday didn't work out for the Sens, but I'm hoping they come on strong in the playoffs.

Anyway, I just found this fun little eBay playoff pool and went ahead and created a TalkBass league. The pool is located over Invalid Link Removed and the league is TalkBass (password TB). I just tossed a team together off the top of my head, but we get until Friday to finalize our picks. It seems to be free and there's money to be won, so any Canadians out there should really join (it's through eBay.ca so I don't know if you folks from south of the border can join or not).

Thanks for setting that up, Nate. I signed up (and I'm definitely south of the border!)

After reading through the rules it seems like only Canadians are eligible to win prizes, but I'm not sure that that'll stop you from joining the fun.

For those Canucks out there considering joining, the winner of each round gets a 19" wide screen LCD TV and whoever wins the whole shebang gets $5000 worth of eBay gift certificates. I don't plan on winning, but it's nice to think about.
