OFFICIAL 2007 NHL playoffs thread.

I called a Detroit-Ottawa final in our office hockey pool, looks like the odds of that are pretty high! (though I took Detroit to win)

Buffalo getting swept like dirt, I like.

Damn Sabres are done. What is that stat that everyone quote? Something along the lines of 2 teams in the history of the NHL have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series. So the Sabres are done, bummer too I was calling them and the Ducks for the cup. Looks like it will be the Ducks and Sens. :beer:

The Sabres will need a player/management shakeup after this season even if they perform a miracle and come back to win. They have such rich talent and are playing like they would rather play golf. It's really strange.

People believed regardless of what happen, Ottawa wouldn't be considered to have "choked" again this year. Buffalo remedied that by spotting them 3 games is all. Now they can join the ranks of the '42 Red Wings and the '75 Penguins.

In all honesty, Buffalo deserves what they've gotten so far. No heart, little effort, still trying to ride their skill. They were lucky to get by just the Rangers on skill alone, let alone any of the teams in the playoffs now. But hey, there seems to be a shade over 30 years between 0-3 comebacks. Just about time for another, eh?

LETS GO RED WINGS!

9PM EST tonight

WOO!

Heh heh...
Their soft play and PP implosion is killing them. Miller should sue for non-support.

They'll probably lose one of their top talents to FA this summer as well.

I can see the Sabres as being the type of team that picks up some better playoff-type players and making another strong run next year.

 

[Sentrosi2121]

Man. I didn't expect the Sabres to look this bad after that heartbreaking loss on Saturday.

But tonight it's all about the Wings baby....YEAH! GO WINGS!

(p.s. if any Detroit skaters want to flip the puck into Giggies pads then "slide" into him, you're cleared for takeoff!)

While everyone is counting the Sabres out and concluding that the choking Senators are a thing of the past, let me hit you with some knowledge. Buffalo has just set Ottawa up for the choke of the billenium (1000 millennia). Here's how the series is going to play out:

Game 4: Buffalo, pissed as hell about their first goose egg all year and refusing to be swept, finally remove their heads from their asses and play a solid 60 minutes of hockey. This game will feature the first power play goal of the series for the Slugs. The collective sigh of relief from Western New York will be felt in 9 states, reaching as far south as Virginia. Final Score: Sabres 4-2. Series: Sens 3-1.

Game 5: Buffalo steals a win at home. Ryan Miller removes all doubt about who will be the recipient of the Conn Smythe Trophy. Final Score: Sabres 3-2. Series: Sens 3-2. (uh-oh )

Game 6: What's that sound I'm hearing? I swear I remember it from last year around this time. Does someone have some food caught in their throat? Oh no, I remember, it's the sound of the Senators in Springtime. Ottawa, visibly losing their cool, can't seem to get anything going at home. The Sabres control the game and send us back to Buffalo for the decision. Final Score: Sabres 4-1. Series: 3-3 Tie. (How could this have happened?)

Game 7: The Sabres, with every bit of momentum the series has to offer, steamroll the reeling Senators. After Buffalo scores their fifth goal, there are 700 heart attacks in the greater Buffalo area (14 inside HSBC). Doctors in Ottawa are put on suicide high alert (a code Emery). Our very own dennilfloss is not heard from for weeks. Final Score: Sabres 5-1. Series: Buffalo wins 4-3.

If I were a betting man, and I am, I'd be calling my bookie right now. If anyone is willing to give me 50:1 odds, I've got 20 bucks on it.

ROFL :laugh:

Good story

Though just so it's clear, i picked Ottawa in seven, & i would not be surprised to see the Sabres win a couple.

 

[mpitts]

Time to drop the puck!

LETS GO RED WINGS!

F PRONGER!

 

[Sentrosi2121]

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!!!!! 4-0 in the second!!!!!!!

 

[n7]

Close game thus far, 4-0 :laugh:

 

[daclayman]

You gonna get it, Pronger. Do you like the taste of wood/composite??

Dirty #$^@%#$$ Ducks

 

[Pshawn5]

horrible game... ducks look like crap.

 

[Squisher]

Pronger should be suspended at least for one game.

 

[Tylanner]

Who the ****** do they have working the game camera in the Detroit game? They are terrible.

 

[daclayman]

A Swede to a Finn past a couple of goons, nuthin but net.

Priceless.

 

[mpitts]

Detroit dominates and wins 5-0.

2-1 Red Wings in the series.

WOO!

LETS GO RED WINGS!

 

[Aquaman]

If Detroit & Ottawa go to the final........... then a European Captain will have won the Stanley Cup (Lidstom & Alfredsson).

Cheers,
Aquaman

 

[dennilfloss]

If you want proof that McAmmond has big brass ones, just ask Oleg Saprykin.

 

[Sentrosi2121]

First time all playoffs Giggy has been scored upon 5 times.

I like that. I like that A LOT.

I just hope the Wings didn't blow their load last night and kept some in reserve for the next 4 games.
