WTF were the Devils thinking letting him go? If they do that mess with Patrick Elias in July I will NEVER hear the end of it from Stein when the Devils start sucking as much as the Rangers do.

Wait, are these your picks from before the playoffs started, or you making them now and STILL taking Carolina, New York, and Philadelphia?

4/25/2006 1:42:25 AM

Flyers game was WILD.

Esche was getting picked apart, then Forsberg tried to knee Roy in the face and when Roy tried to go with Forsberg, Esche skated over and attacked him in full gear.

4/25/2006 1:44:55 AM

Just read that Primeau might try to come back to play in either Game 3 or Game 4.

4/25/2006 10:51:39 AM

sabres deserve some praise

These picks are based in part of what happened following last Tuesday's games. Since everybody's two games in, it'd be too late to even think about changing my picks. Not to mention, the Devils have never won a postseason series against the Blueshirts. Ditto, Dallas vs Detroit.

ottawa beat TB 8-4

the rule changes were meant to only slightly increase goals per game. this is fucking too much.

4/25/2006 9:59:41 PM

[Edited on April 25, 2006 at 10:03 PM. Reason : nevermind goal called back]

4/25/2006 10:00:46 PM

it looks like the avg. number of goals thus far in the playoffs is 6-7 per game. Last year i am guessing it was 3-4.

[Edited on April 25, 2006 at 10:16 PM. Reason : last last year]

4/25/2006 10:15:55 PM

did anyone watch the ottawa game and hear that one announcer....i was trying to figure out all game who he sounded like....and finally i realized that he sounded like patches ohoulihan in the dodgeball rule video in dodgeball

4/25/2006 10:53:05 PM

Detroit thought they had scored the OT winner...but the puck went UNDER the net.

NO GOAL, WE PLAY ON!!

Ouch.

Rangers-Devils series total goals through 3 games:

New Jersey 13, N.Y. Rangers 2

4/26/2006 9:43:21 PM

Bwahaha.

4/26/2006 9:48:17 PM

Avs in overtime again. With the Canes winning tonight, it looks like Dallas is heading for the biggest bust of the year.

Through 3 games:

Edmonton 2, Detroit 1
Colorado 3, Dallas 0
Calgary 2, Anaheim 1
San Jose 2, Nashville 1

Ottawa 2, Tampa Bay 1
Montreal 2, Carolina 1
New Jersey 3, NY Rangers 0
Buffalo 2, Philadelphia 1

4/27/2006 12:27:54 AM

Colorado ain't fuckin around!

4/27/2006 12:31:59 AM

Can you think of anything that is making NBC and OLN sweat more than the following:

Ottawa leading series over Tampa 3-1
Edmonton leading series over Detroit 2-1 and leading game 4
Calgary leading series over Anaheim 2-1
Montreal leading series over Carolina 2-1
And the Rangers look to be swept

4/27/2006 10:00:43 PM

Haha I was thinking the same thing

4/27/2006 10:02:02 PM

Yeah, if everything stayed to form (team leading the series currently wins), the Final 8 would look like:

Ottawa v. Montreal
New Jersey v. Buffalo

Calgary v. Edmonton
San Jose v. Colorado

4/27/2006 10:07:01 PM

(Jersey v. Buffalo) --> winner will be in cup finals

4/27/2006 10:35:33 PM

Pronger just knocked Cleary into the air so he hit the boards horizontally...and then Zetterberg scored on the PP rush.

Wow, I saw a black player on the Sabres! And he just scored! (But they still lose.)

Devils 3, Rangers 0
Sabres 2, Flyers 2
Hurricanes 2, Canadiens 2
Senators 3, Lightning 1

Red Wings 2, Oilers 2
Avalanche 3, Stars 0
Flames 2, Ducks 2

Didn't the Canes have the same issue durring the finals years ago with Sesame Street on ice, the circus or some other BS?

4/30/2006 8:36:36 AM

===Western Conference===

(if Detroit defeats Edmonton)

Detroit v. Colorado (good rivalry)
Calgary/Anaheim winner v. San Jose

(if Edmonton defeats Detroit, Calgary defeats Anaheim)

Calgary v. Edmonton (Battle of Alberta)
San Jose v. Colorado

(if Edmonton defeats Detroit, Anaheim defeats Calgary)

San Jose v. Edmonton
Anaheim v. Colorado

===Eastern Conference===

(if Carolina defeats Montreal)

Ottawa v. Buffalo/Philadelphia winner
Carolina v. New Jersey (do we play the Devils every time we make the playoffs?)

(if Montreal defeats Carolina)

Ottawa v. Montreal (Ontario v. Quebec)
New Jersey v. Buffalo/Philadelphia winner

Eh, not so much. With guys like Lemieux and McCarty gone, it's really cooled down.

When did the Sens' stadium change names? It was the Corel Centre when I was there a couple of summers ago...

5/1/2006 1:49:21 PM

They signed the deal with Scotiabank in January. I don't know if the Corel deal just expired mid-season, or it just didn't have a sponsor for the first part of the season.

5/1/2006 1:51:38 PM

at least there is no hasek

5/1/2006 1:55:12 PM

i'm thinkin if we can find away to beat jersey in the next round we'll win the cup, jersey has been insane this year

5/1/2006 2:09:08 PM

No.

Jersey has been insane this month.

Yes, they've won 15 games in a row, but if they hadn't come on so strong at the end of the season they could've easily finished out of the playoffs.

5/1/2006 2:37:00 PM

well i was referring to them being insane against us specifically
