| Giguere doesn't care about shutouts. All he cares about are Wins. Allowing just one goal in Game 4 was more than enough as the Ducks are going to the Finals with the 2-1 win. Ducks are chillin' while the Other series in the East will last at least 2 more 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. |
That is true, but it still comes down to who's wearing the equipment IMO.
So the Wild have set 2 records in these playoffs: They are the only team to have come back from a 3-1 deficit in a best of 7 series twice in a playoff year; they also hold the record for the least amount of goals in a best of 7 series with 1.
Congratulations. I believe that we'll see more from this monotonous team in the near future. :nervous:
Onto the Ducks now. Holy ing , what more can I say. Uhh, I guess when you just don't lose, things go quite well in the playoffs. They are the first team to knock off the top two seeds in the same playoff year, and as far as I know, they are the first team to reach the finals with a 12-2 record since the '92 Blackhawks and '92 Penguins.
Go Sens Go!!! |

After killing the Sens 5-2, I am very confident that the Devils will play the Ducks in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Brodeur vs. Giguere!!!
Thta has a nice ring to it. |

Yes the finals will be Devils vs Ducks, it should be an interesting matchup, if ducks take it all the way that would be amazing, Beating 2 heavy favorites before and sweeping two teams ducks are on a powerfull roll, NJ shouldnt underestimate them or they will get spanked like the rest. |

Nevermind :toothless 3-1 win, that's much better.They looked very good for some decently long stretches there.
Everyone gives them for never getting far but they have a really good chance at shaking that reputation if they can pull this off. IMO, they just need to focus on one more win and after that, it will be a brand new series, winner take all. |

| I could care less what the outcome of the east will be. The Ducks are getting all the rest they can get. |

I have to say Ottawa are starting to restore my faith a bit...
Whether or not they'll be able to down the Ducks even if they make it to the finals is another problem entirely, allow me to join 30 million others and ask why they left Spezza off the roster for so long?
I'd like to see a Canadian team hoist the cup, but man, Anaheim is looking better and better with the small number of games they've played to date and the incredibly hot netminder.... |

I won't predict the final because the only certainty at this point is that the outcome will be a surprise (speaking from a pre-playoff point of view).
Good job Sens. It all comes down to one game, and they're playing it at home too. They've got all the momentum, the timing is just perfect for them, CARPE DIEM!!!
On a side note, what's this about Brodeur's wife wanting a divorce? |

I was unfairly teased as the Sens won 2 straight only to lose at the last possible moment. I'll get over it but right now, I'm a little miffed as one of my favourite teams lost out. Now I'm forced to watch more boring hockey as the Devils are given another series. Games 6 and 7 were quite exciting because the Sens were all over the Devils for the most part. Once the Devils controlled the play however, it was utter and I found myself changing the channel.
Since the final will be a boring dump-fest, I'm hoping for a sweep... of the Devils of course because they are bastards. |

Honestly i dont think up untill the last 3 sen-devils game were anything exciting. It was pretty boring up untill last couple games. but maybe cuz we go for more west coast teams.

It had to go to Game 7!!! Oh well, Ducks vs. Devils. From a devensive standpoint, it should be very interesting. Of course I'm not expecting offense from either teams.
I got tickets to Game 4 with knsv. Should be great to experience a Stanley Cup game live. Definitely rooting for the Ducks on this one. One more thing! I hate that Langenbrunner fool and it would be a nightmare to see him lift the Cup.
GO DUCK GO!!!
BURN DEVILS BURN!!! |
