Giguere has been absolutely dominating throughout the playoffs. But only cause he is so positionally sound to the shooter and the Anaheim defense takes away all quality scoring chances and leaves opposition to low % shots. Quite possibly the best showing by a goalie in the playoffs since Roy with the 93 Montreal team IMO. Ducks in 5. New Jersey vs. Ottawa. I'm gonna have to go with New Jersey on this one, Brodeur has such an advantage. Madden is playing like a sniper instead of a defensice specialist. Langenbruenner is continueing his solid playoff performance while keeping under the radar. New Jersey in 7.

A bit late but this is what I was thinking before the round started. After watching the first 2 Min/Anh games, I'm going to say Ducks in 5 :D. |

| ahah my in god. how aweful is that western conference final? jesus i have never seen such a boring ass series since i started watching hockey. this is like in soccer on ice. if this is the future of hockey then im gonna quit watching it. the league has to do something to eliminate that in retarded trap tactic. perhaps get rid of the red line or make the ice rink wider. i cant stand watching the defence oriented teams without 0 offence flow. and i hope whoever advances from the western final will get a painful ass rape from ottawa in the finals |

the stupid wild made the canucks-wild series boring. i haven't watched hockey since the nucks went out. i can't imagine how much worse it can be with 2 trapping teams. :stongue: |

Look!!! Hockey is hockey! The majority of the rules have stayed the same. It's just that ever since the 92-93 season, teams have been using the defense first philosophy and there is no rule that says you can't do that.
Hockey has matured to being like this over time. Some people say changing the rules will do better. Others say it'll kill the originality of the game. I think we have a case of dissapointed Canuck fans in this thread that don't want to watch hockey anymore.
I'm not sorry to say this, but the Ducks-Wild series has been entertaining for me. So is soccer in general. You don't like it cuz not enough goals are scored! Too bad. It's a game of strategy.
I don't see baseball being any better. Basketball has too many time outs and Football has to stop play every single down so that the refs need to spot the ball. Every sport has a downside. It's something all of us have to deal with. If you don't want to watch hockey, the coolest game on earth, then it's your loss. |

| its not about the final score. its about the scoring chances that don't come often. |

Ducks are going to go to the finals and then who knows maybe all the way :stongue: , minesota today just got RAPED, i dont think they can come back from this one, even though they pulled two miracles in the prior two series.

PS. Anyone have any tickets for ducks? :conf: |

My thoughts exactly.. As I mentioned before I'm one of the few who LIKES defensive play. As boring as you say it is I still can't pry myself away from the games. |

They had this thing on ESPN where they showed like the best goaltenders of each decade. And the pads just keep getting bigger and bigger.
Even in the 80's, when they had masks and pretty thick pads, there was still a lot of room to shoot. But now you look at guys like Giguere and Roy, they just take up the whole ing net.
They all wear these extra large shoulder pads and chest pads, and the leg pads are just gigantic now. Even the blockers and gloves are bigger than they were just 10 years ago.
I think the game is as good as it has been (except for the watered down talent), they just need to make those goalie equipments smaller. |
