The Stanley Cup Playoffs

Day One of Rosie's Pout Fest will be starting at 9:30 p.m. central time tonight.

I'm predicting a very close game with the Wild winning by one goal.

 

Good news for some, the Yahoo sports live games experiment continues on starting tonight with MInnesota at Anaheim tonight, San Jose-Nashville on Friday and Tampa Bay-New Jersey on Saturday.

More games to be added I'm sure, at least for the first round.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the head up.

 

You mean........you mean..........I might have to postpone my Pout Fest?!??!?? (and I'm not talking eelpout, either)

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there's some sort of blackout though, there will be major hell to pay!

 

First-round picks:

EASTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Buffalo vs. ( 8 ) N.Y. Islanders: Buffalo in 5
(2) New Jersey vs. (7) Tampa Bay: New Jersey in 6
(3) Atlanta vs. (6) N.Y. Rangers: Atlanta in 6 or 7
(4) Ottawa vs. (5) Pittsburgh: Ottawa in 7

WESTERN CONFERENCE
(1) Detroit vs. ( 8 ) Calgary: Detroit in 6
(2) Anaheim vs. (7) Minnesota: Anaheim in 6
(3) Vancouver vs. (6) Dallas: Vancouver in 5 or 6
(4) Nashville vs. (5) San Jose: Nashville in 6

 

QUICK! Somebody find the reset button.

 

Let's Go Rangers!

 

Jeebus, everyone and I MEAN EVERYONE is on the Pens' jocks this year.

I can understand the fans, but enough with the bandwagoning shit. I'm not just talking about what I perceive on this board either.

 

Wait a second: A fan of a New York team bitching because some other team is being shoved down peoples' throats.

Yeah. OK.

 

I don't control that. All I'm saying is every year there's a team where everyone jumps on because of the young kid, etc. I do it too, but it's information overload when everyone's saying they should bestow sainthood on Sidney Crosby.

 

Don't think Ottawa is on the Pens bandwagon just yet. Sens win game 1 6-3.

(edited to update final score)

 

You ever seen the kid play? He's pretty damn close to canonization.
