i don't know why devil fans would want them to play the rangers. the only time the devils beat the rangers was when jagr and lundqvist got hurt. devils have an especially hard time with avery and he becomes a huge factor whenever he plays them. i hope that devils play the penguins and knock them out which would give the rangers the best chance at getting to the cup just my opinion hehehehehhehe

none of our teams have a snowballs chance in hell to win the cup this year sean, but i will still enjoy the ride lol.

so i've been putting money on some games recently and failing miserably (mostly due to poor ncaa, but also hockey). anyway, today i bet on the flyers by 2 (loss unless miracle), caps by 2 (win unless caps goalie sucks balls) and sabres to win. so up until a few minutes ago i though for sure my short betting was over since i would be out of money if they all lost. so i was sitting on espn watching the scoreboard and all of a sudden i see "derek roy gives the puck away" and so i go through the thought process and obviously i have kovalchuk scoring the game winner. it didn't happen then, but 2 minutes later somebody else gives the puck away and then it flashes "goal scored by kovalchuk" and i said "fuck". i was down until a few seconds later when backstrom put one in the open net to cap a 2 goal win against the islanders. this betting shit is hard though. the other day i bet on the wings to beat the islanders at home and they got shut out WHAT THE FUCK. i know this isn't the betting thread, but i still thought it was funny.

you have to have faith. in 2006 nobody expected the bottom 4 seeds in the west to knock out the top 4 after the first round and to have the #8 seed win the conference.. edmonton put it all together that playoff run and took it to 7 games, if it wasn't for roloson getting injured in game 5 or 6 who would have known what would have happened. that's the beauty of the playoffs, you don't know what could happen. although i do agree your two teams should concentrate on making the playoffs one point differential in 5 through 9 in the east, it'll go to the last game of the season i'm sure...

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

i don't remember exactly, but i thought he got injured in the first game, but maybe i'm wrong. what i do know is that immediately after the backup came in, carolina scored what would be the game winning goal on miscommunication between the goalie d-man.

you might be right, i'll need to go and check. either way, what i was getting at is the #8 seed could make it to game 7 of the stanley cup final.

that's not nice. although i do hope the caps have a good match up in the first. i've talked to a couple people and we are so down to making the trip to dc for a game. i hope the same goes for the devils and rangers because i'm going to try to get to see a couple playoff games if i can.

Rolie was injured in Game 1 of the 2006 finals. The Oilers name was written on the Cup prior to that in my opinion, he was in the best form of his life going into that series and the rest of the team had so much chemistry. All of the pieces seemed to fit into place at the perfect time...oh well, c'est la vie

I absolutely loved Rolly when he played in Finland, be it in a rival team or not. LOVED HIM
