Sabres advance, finishing off the Flyers with a 7-1 pasting
Canes knock out the Habs, winning Game 6 in OT, on a blue-line slap shot
they won 4 games in a row
top 4 seeds in the East advance
next round for the Eastern Conference:
Hurricanes vs. Devils
Senators vs. Sabres
if Ducks beat Flames tomorrow, then it will be the bottom 4 seeds in the Western Conference all advancing |

Broduer is in a zone right now.
I guess my pick for the Rangers to win was a little cocky.
Still going with Carolina. Sorry Habs:stongue:
Buffalo... yes, im still sticking with Buffalo. |
I am so good.
Oh and one more thing, once the quarterfinals are complete, i will be making another bold prediction. |

stupid rules? Just off the top of my head...
1) Delay of game penalty for accidentally shooting the puck over the glass in your own end - simply retarded, enough said.
2) Goalies not being able to play the puck in the corners. They have a damn stick, they can go wherever they want.
3) Instigator rule - only makes the fighthing "issue" worse in the end.
4) the two referee system needs to go
5) Shootout - I"m sick of pandering to American audiences. What is wrong with a goddamn TIE?
And don't get me started on the calls. Any real hockey fan is thoroughly disgusted these days. A team cannot adapt when you have TWO refs who are never on the same page as far as calling the game. Way too many 5 on 3s even in places unheard of before like in OVERTIME. You do not put a team two men down in an OVERTIME PLAYOFF game because he shot the puck over the glass by mistake or tapped the guy's hip with his stick. It's getting to be too much like basketball, but no wonder since they have a basketball moron running the game anyway.
Sure, the game might be a LITTLE bit faster...and there are a FEW more goals being scored but no goddamn wonder with all the power plays. |

Pretty much implemented to speed up the game by discouraging the easy way out for defenders. I like this rule, along with not being able to change when you ice the puck.

Didn't really have an effect on goalies.

Agreed

Agreed

at first I was skeptical with the shootout, but it's really damn exciting being in the arena when it happens. The NHL has to pander to the casual American fan in order to stay in business. |

okay... here's my prediction and my explanation.
There are three dynasties right now in the NHL.
Colorado Avalanche
Detroit Red Wings
New Jersey Devils
Since 1995, all three of these teams won a Stanley Cup at least once or twice during a span of three to four years.
After the Rangers won the Cup - Devils Avalanche Red Wings Red Wings
After the Stars won the Cup - Devils Red Wings Avalanche Devils
After the Lightning won the Cup - ??? does anyone see a connection?
so already, i'm picking my winner...
New Jersey Devils def Edmonton Oilers 4-1
A 4th Stanley Cup in 12 Years! :D |
