The Playoff Thread

[Vanguard3000]

I just want to see Calgary in the finals.  I really don't care who else.  I suppose if I had to choose, I'd choose Philly, but...

[Andrew]

...then you get hate mail from me of pictures of Toronto players golfing. ;D

[SurlyPIG]

Bah...Flames-Sharks is even at two apiece, both teams losing both home games.  What's up with that eh? ???

[Andrew]

Yah Calgary and Tampa seem to be blowing it :(

Go Brad Richards! Who recently got on team Canada for the world 2004 World Cup of Hockey.

PEI rocks ;D

[Vanguard3000]

It looks like Calgary will be winning tonight.  Go Flames!

[SurlyPIG]

Three-nill flames at the end of two  :O  Looks as though home ice is a disadvantage in this series. ???

[Andrew]

GO FLAMES!!!

And Brad Richards from PEI is turning out to be Tampa's #1 player by far. 2 goals last night for the win. If Tampa wins, the Stanley Cup may come to PEI. woot.

[Vanguard3000]

Woo!  Flames are going to the finals, baby!  Ohh yeah!

[edit]  I guess the third goal for Calgary was an empty netter?  I only saw the score through the 'net, unfortunately.

[SurlyPIG]

WOOHOO! ;D

Yeah, it crossed the line just as time expired, a perfect way to ice the cake.

[Andrew]

Woot! I gotta watch the highlights of it somtime.

Tampa vs philly.

I think Brad richards will get 3 goals this game :)

perfect matchup tampa vs calgary.

They are not big name teams such as detroit, colorado, etc which will make it a better game.

[SurlyPIG]

I say Calgary vs Philly, just 'cause teams as far south as Tampa shouldn't win the cup. ;D  Anything below St. Louis is too far.  Also because I want to se Primeau get rocked by our D.

I love how hockey is played where they can not sustain natural ice at any time of the year. Wonder how long until Canada exports the Toronto Maple leafs to Dallas, Texas.

GO TAMPA! Go Brad Richards!!

[Vanguard3000]

I love how hockey is played where they can not sustain natural ice at any time of the year.

Did you see the Canadian university championships?  University of New Brunswick and St. Francis Xavier were playing on some really crappy ice.  It was fun for all.  Well, except for one of the UNB players, who damn near busted his back on the crossbar of one of the nets.  Nevertheless, it was fun for all...

[SurlyPIG]

Tampa holds on 2-1, bring on the finals!

[Andrew]

I didnt see the championships, but I think UPEI actually did 1/2 decent this year. Maybe it was the new rink they were using.

New Poll!

Who are you cheering for?

[bryorama]

NO! Flyers lost to that idiotic Lightning! NOO!  :'(

Oh well! DOWN WITH TAMPA BAY.  :P

Go Canada!

Who does Fed2k officially endorse now Gob?

[Gobalopper]

Well there is a Tampa jersey hanging in my room... but at this point I doesn't matter much. I picked Tampa to win the cup at the beginning so for the sake of my hockey pool, Tampa Bay all the way! :D

[Mahdi]

Tampa actualy has more Canadian players than Calgary, but Calgary is a Canadian city, so go Calgary!

[Dunenewt]

When is the final?

[SurlyPIG]

It's on right now.  The final is a best of seven series.  The first two games have been played, both in Tampa Bay, with Calgary winning the first 4-1 and Tampa winning the second 4-1.  The series now heads back to Calgary for games three and four.

[kkbrando]

TampaBay all the way!

[SurlyPIG]

Khabibulin bounces back in game four.  We're back to square one.  This is going to be a good series!

[Andrew]

PEI pride for brad richards, but canada pride for calgary. GO calgary! I hope brad is the only tampa player to score. (bring the stanley cup to PEI!!! again!!)
