Are you done now? This was fun when I thought you could hold your own....I'm done. How about getting back to the thread?

i really feel the canadians won't do well in the playoffs because of lack of experience. better? :lol
 
It will be interesting to see how Price deals with the pressure of the playoffs in Mtl.

Huet may thrive in Washington because it's not a "hockey town" and he won't be blasted by the media if the Caps don't do well.
 
Does the playoffs starts tonight or tomorrow? I know the habs are playing tomorrow...but are their any other matches tonight?
 
I think the Pens first game is tonight. I'll be watching. I LOVE playoff hockey no matter WHO is playing.

Yes better....I don't think that will be a problem..they have some veterans there that will lead the younger guys like Kovalev and Koivu. This team does have some playoff experience.

Not just that but half of the youngsters on the team won a Calder Cup last Spring, so they have plenty o' experience.

Your absolutely right, this is the best hockey of the year no matter what teams are playing.
 
Especially if OT is involved. No GAY ASS shoot outs.

OT is involved for the regular season... 5 minutes. hehe

Followed by the gay ass shoot outs which was made for the American fans in mind to amp up the game... I hated that idea... yeah we play 65 minutes of a team game, then follow it up with individual play... ridiculous.
 
Eli,

Shootouts were not made for American fans. Most American fans hate it too. Not many hockey fans think a game should be decided on a gay skills competition.
 
Dear Sir,

I think shootouts to decide playoff games are a fantastic idea.

Sad part is I bet money it happens eventually. I'll be beyond pissed when it does too.

Trust me, and don't take it personally, any radical change is made for American fans in mind. Not the hardcore fan such as yourself, but it is made to bring in more fans to the game. The Fox puck was made because American fans griped how they couldn't see the puck... Kid yourself all you want, but even though the NHL has greater success up in Canada, the game is constantly tweaked for the average American in mind. More money down in the US, and that's the market they want. They already have us, but again, who cares about us or even trying to relocate teams in Canada. Anytime someone wants to bring up a team here, it doesn't bode well with the NHL governers. They rather have hockey in Nashville than in cities like Hamilton that could support an NHL franchise.

Quebec maybe... Winnipeg.. highly doubtful. We're too cheap and blue collar here.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm not a big hockey fan at all. But I will say for anyone that hasn't experienced it, overtime playoff hockey is just something special.
