2010-11 NHL Playoff Thread: HOUSE RULES: ENGAGED

[Chips]

I'm so fucking stoked.

THORONAS, BEFORE SHIT GETS REAL, I WILL SAY THIS: YOU ARE A P. OKAY GUY

I'd get your trash talking in while you can, you only have four games to do it

[Sepukku]

T-minus 3.5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO FUCKING PUMPED, ITS LIKE I SNORTED AN ENERGY DRINK!!!

Failed two of my students for the year today for asking, during separate periods, "Whos that player on your jersey? (Goligoski)"

(Yes I wore it despite him being traded, its my only jersey)

Gave bonus points to those who did know who he was.

[Anton]

Man waiting sucks.

And of course there's nothing on TV atm

[Bregor]

BK, you are a good guy despite you affinity for the Rangers and the God awful bands you put in your sig.

NOW LET'S DO THIS

P.S. I miss Abraxas.

Alright, as an edit to my earlier predictions, I'll say Vancouver in 7. I figure if the Canadian posters are gonna get banned, it may as well be for cheering against the Hawks.
Losing Big Buff to get in Luongo's kitchen is gonna make it a very different series this time around. It's not like you can replace him with Kane trying to screen.
That's what made me laugh about the LOLers this year. DUHHHHstin Penner would be coasting around, just floating, while Sammy would try and screen. Yes, a guy who is shin high on Nathan Gerbe will provide an excellent screen, while the 6'4" guy is off in wherever land.
Also, here's hoping the Oilers take Larsson with the #1 overall pick. While there's potential offensive upside to Nugent-Hopkins, he's also 163 pounds. Unless they hooked him up with Barry Bonds number, or fed him some crisco sandwiches from today until training camp, we have too many small guys on the team.

I also try to not get exceited when I see the hype of "______ moving the franchise to Winnipeg!" since you know damn well Bettman will step in like "Hay! I hurd there is good hockey market in Orlando!" Or Las Vegas, or some other random ass place where the only time they see ice is in a drink.

We can use, and have used at times Kopecky as a screener in place of Byfuglien this year but will he be as effective, time will tell.

[Selamis]

Be a Man! Take Chicago in 4

lol

If for some reason this ever happened, and it shouldn't, I'd feel bad for Canuck fans, like straight up. It'd go down more storied than any San Jose choke ever.

[vagus]

Is that our BG 2011 bracket? lol.

[Ishido]

Essentially? I just wanted to compile all of the picks, and depending one the outcome of each game I can update it and give giant red X's to people who were wrong in their picks. Because they were wrong and deserve ridicule.
