2008 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs!

I miss Ruutu, I was choked when Vancouver didn't keep him.

Ya man, I miss how he stuck his tongue out at everyone. But Burrows does a pretty damn good job for Vancouver now.

[Man0warr]

Turco holds the record for most shutouts in a playoff series, and besides 1 game against the Ducks hes been pretty nuts.

Wow...Price totally let down the Habs tonight. Canadians pretty much outplayed the Flyers in every aspect of the game, and still lost by 2 goals. As long as Biron continues to play brilliantly and Price continues to sleep, Flyers have this series in the bag.

I really dunno why the Habs keep letting the Flyers get these quick starts. :\ Can't really blame Price on the first couple goals (screen by Koivu + the deflection by Hamrlik), but that fourth goal was terrible. They really need to pick it up in Philly.

Redw wings fucked up colorado tonight. 5-1

[Thoronas]

I will not be surprised to see the Cup go to Detroit this year.

It'd piss me off but I wouldn't be surprised.

That's pretty much spot-on. Biron looked like a top-flight goaltender all night, and Price made a few gaffs that cost his team.

Ranger vs Penguins game 2!

[Dolmen]

I will accept the responsibility for the Habs' loss last night... Any time I watch them in person or on TV, they have a 20% win rate, so I'm not watching them anymore.

Overall, in game 1 the Flyers did outplay the Habs because the Habs were so off their game. Game 2 the Habs stepped it up, but there were times where I felt they were trying to do a bit too much. Koivu's goal made the Flyers look like a joke, awesome goal. Watching the game overall though, the Habs were shooting the puck to Biron way too much. It seemed like they were aiming for the logo on Biron's jersey instead of playing angles. Biron leaves a lot open, and Montreal has the snipers to pick him apart, so it's frustrating to not see them doing that. The Flyers really took advantage of screens last night, so you have to give them credit there.

Regardless, I think the series will be a good one. Briere... it's a sore subject for Montreal fans because he played teams against each other to get more money. He acted in a very, very shady manner, thus the resentment.

[Seditedi]

Uh the Habs weren't off their game in Game 1, if anything the Flyers were off their game and they still outplayed Montreal. They just finished back to back games with only a 1 day break and looked excellent.
The Flyers are playing great right now, which is why this series should be 2-0 Philly, they got robbed in game 1.
Biron has been brilliant and Price is showing his rookie status.
Beautiful save at like 2:30 of this video.

Uhh I don't know which game you were watching but in Game 1 the Canadiens were terrible. And if anything the series deserves to be 1:1 but Philly should of won the first game, and Montreal the second.

Best part of the Pens series is whenever Jagr touches the puck in Pittsburgh.

[Man0warr]

Stars gonna sweep this terrible Sharks team.

[Melena]

2-0 is an easy enough defecit to recover. have to stop making stupid mistakes though. I dunno if the sharks will come back, but it definetly won't be a sweep. As good as dallas has played us in the tank, we've been just as good in there arena as well.

[Palin]

Sharks have been playing real well, better than the Stars offensively IMO. Stars just keep getting nice openings and then scoring, while Dallas's defense is rock solid. Predicting a 4-2 win for Dallas.

I'm rooting for Dallas, but I also don't see them getting past the Wings when they sweep the Avalanche unfortunately. Wings and Penguins just seem really well oiled this year, I'm predicting them for the Cup.

Agreed.
If anyone should have a picture sucking on a pacifier it would be that bastard.

I agree with everything here. The Stars D has been amazingly solid, Turco hasn't been brilliant, but he hasn't needed to be. The Sharks controlled a lot of that Game 2, and looked great, but they just fell into the same Dallas Defensive traps, or Turco setup shop on one side while his D limited shots from that direction. It was quite well-played tbh.

I'd be surprised if the Wings sweep, however. They're definitely the better team, but I think Colorado will get at least one game in the next two...

Theodore is gonna have to get over his "flu" for that to happen. Also Colorado's power play is fucking terrible and has been so for a good part of the season.

[Brill Weave]

Go Pens! Off to a nice 2 - 0 start heading into the Gardens. Which is probably a good thing considering how well the Rangers play there. But then again the Pens have history on their side so we'll see what happens. Nice to see Jordan Staal fire one in.

Yes, but they have a bit different look than they had in the regular season...
