Running 2008 NHL Playoffs Thread

No, let Flash make predictions like that. She's been picking against the Penguins since the playoffs began, wondering "what will happen when the Pens play a good team."

 

Gatineua plays Spokane tonight. If Gatineau loses, they're out. If they win, they force a tiebreaker on Thursday.

London plays Belleville on Wednesday --this could be the best game of the tourney. Lots of bad blood.


I haven't figured out the rest.

 

On the Wings wagon right now? Uh ... yeah ... damn near broke my ankle hopping on last week. :

 

How could anyone who roots for The Greatest Team Ever possibly remember what little old me picked?

 

Stay tuned for The Rust Belt Rumble!

Ok, no matter who you're cheering for, this should be one great Final with enough storylines to satisfy anyone.

 

I just don't understand why you can't have an opinion different from someone else's around here.

Christ, no wonder Fenian left. Big effin' deal that I'm not rooting for the Penguins. I'm so sorry it keeps you all up at night.

 

Give her a break. We've got to have a token Wings fan for the playoffs.

Heck, she could still get good seats at the Joe for the Finals.

 

Well, I'm rooting for the Penguins and I love the fact that you're cheering for the Wings.

Is our six pack of Keith's bet on?

 

Damn straight it is, JR. Start saving.

 

First game is this Saturday. (Isn't that Memorial Day weekend down there?)

Thank God there are no weekend afternoon games in the Final.

Versus has the first two games down there then NBC has the rest.

If there's a four game sweep (unlikely), there will be no hockey in June for God knows how many years.

 

Solid column on the forthcoming Wings-Pens final, even if it reinforces the obvious - that this is the matchup the hockey world wanted.

Melrose isn't picking a winner just yet. He's holding off until "the Finals have started."

 

I said it before and just to be a pain in the ass, I'll say it again: it's the Stanley Cup Final. Not Finals.

Last time I checked there was only one of 'em.
