The 2008 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

Gotta love the Wings (not that my avatar gives that away or anything). :hyper:

Dallas over the Ducks in game 1? Gotta love it. I'd love to see Anaheim bounced in the first round, especially after the bogus way Neidermayer and Selanne sat out most of the season. Imho both players tarnished their greatness.

SJ-Cal imho is going to be a 7 game war, and the winner is going to be banged up pretty hard

Col-Min imho is going to be Col's experience getting through the first round in 6, they'll go down in the 2nd round.

Det to win the west and the cup, Lidstrom for Conn Smythe (NOT "Lindstrom" like the graphic on Versus said at one point - who's the moron that did that :ninja:)

In the East, as much as I'd like to see the Bruins win for sentimental reasons, I think Les Habitants have way too much for them to overcome.

Pens will steamroll the Sens in 5, nuff said.

Caps over the Flyers. Though if Philly decides to do the cheap shotting like in the early part of the season and takes out Ovechkin it'll be a different story.

Brodeur is looking human this series against the Rangers, which doesn't bode well for NJ.
 
Anyone remember the....."beware of the Penguin" commercials?

The Senators are going down to the Penguins this series. Sid and the boys are ready this year. Gary Roberts will make sure the Senators don't intimidate us again. I thought we looked real good in game one, and showed the Sens aren't going to bully us on the ice.

We picked up a couple "older" guys this season that made me wonder. Now I think I see why they were picked up. Although I was really surprised Sydor didn't even suit up for game one. I know why, just still surprised.

I can start caring about hockey again next year now that Wirtz has gone down below where he belongs.

Go Hawks!
The Hawks are going to be a force very shortly, and it is nice to see the younger Wirtz doing the right things to get Chicagoland interested in their team again.

I got to see this live last night. Warren Strelow would have been very proud of BOTH goalies! :)

Even though we lost, that was a sweet save.

Beautiful saves from both goalies last night.
