Official NHL 2005-2006 Playoff Thread


Recommended Posts

On Ales Hemsky's first goal, the one tying the game at 3-3, it is in my opinion that he kicked it in. From what I saw viewing the clips repeatedly, I would say he kicked it in. Not that I mind, really, because the Edmonton-Calgary round will be superb. Although, I would prefer Original Six teams to win the Cup, and I am hesitant to see Yzerman go so easily. One of the greatest that ever played. The old guard is leaving, an inevitable disappointment that they would go one day.

Calgary now has an easy road to forge ahead in the West (Yes, I am assuming that they win).

The Hemsky goal is arguable. It must be a distinct kicking motion for it to be considered askicked in, like a pendulum, or a soccer player winding his leg back then forth to strike the ball, or winding up for a slap shot. And you're allowed to direct the puck in ur net with ur skates, u cant kick it in.

honestly, i might be seeing things, but i swear that after the puck went off the post, it got knocked up into the air. it went off of helmsky's chest, and then rolled down to his thigh. at the same time, helmsky was clearly being pushed from behind towards the net, at the same time the puck was going down helmskys leg, and the forward movement caused it to go in the net. i never saw the puck actually go off his skate. i even rewound the play and watched it again.

Ya, it was a wierd bounce and went off his chest.

DUCKS WIN !!!! the first series to go to 7 games. GO DUCKS!

Rangers didn't give up. well they didnt play to potential and put in a rusty Lundqvist in net. Jagr was hurt. It was a combination of things. Dont forget, Jersey is the hottest team in the NHL.

Habs lose a tough one from a 50foot blast deflected by our on defenseman in OT :( Oh well. Here's to next seas :pint: :pint:

Eastern Conference is going to be:

Ottawa vs Buffalo

Carolina vs New Jersey

Ya, it sucks about Les Habitants :( Oh well, Gainey promised us the playoffs during the summer and he got us there.

As for the Ducks; It wasnt the most exciting game (no games are when the Flames are playing), but the Ducks played an excellent game, virtually perfect. They did all the little things right and made no mistakes.

Go ducks!!!

Who was the one who was at Game 6 in Anaheim here at Neowin?

habs lost :( but ducks won BRING IT JOSE!

and bayrider i am stealing your sig

Feel free, wear it with pride :)

Oh man, its gonna be a great series between the Avs and the Ducks. Im guessing high scoring, fast paced game :)

I've updated the winners and losers of the 1st round and the breakdown for the 2nd round in the first post if anyone is keeping track :)

and here it is just for reference:

Eastern Conference 985.gif

1. ott.gif Ottawa Senators vs. 4. buf.gif Buffalo Sabres

2. car.gif Carolina Hurricans vs 3. njd.gif New Jersey Devils

Western Conference 984.gif

6. ana.gif Anaheim Mighty Ducks vs 7. col.gif Colorado Avalanche

The avs-ducks games are going to be very good, hopefully some of them are broadcast in britain.

My predictions for the semis:

Ottawa Senators vs. Buffalo Sabres

Carolina Hurricans vs New Jersey Devils

San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers

Anaheim Mighty Ducks vs Colorado Avalanche

The top four seeds in the east all won their series.

The top four seeds in the west all lost to the underdogs in their series.

That's a good trend if you are an Oilers fan.

With the Canadiens and the Flames out there is only one Canadian team left that I can cheer for.

    • The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
    • Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
