Official NHL 2005-2006 Playoff Thread


Recommended Posts

Great news!

I opened my web browser for a reason and then I got distracted. It was bugging me that I couldn't remember the purpose. So, I went of to Neowin because that is usually what I do when I have a browser open and I saw this thread. Then, of course, I remembered why I opened the browser in the first place. I was intending to go to NHL.com to see what happened.

Its a bit of a funny coincidence that edmonton wiped out anaheim 4-1, who white washed colorado 4-0 who beat dallas 4-1. Does that mean that Calorlina of Buffalo are going to win by the same margin? :whistle:

well, it appears finishing fast can definitely cause problems.

edmondton will take it to 7, whoever it is...

Carolina will win. They were going to win regardless but since Buffalo lost three key defensemen it's going to be hard for them to win the series and then continue to the cup. I'm calling Carolina to win this and Carolina win it in 6 games for the Cup.

I hope that Edmonton wins. I think they have been playing pretty good, plus, Canada needs one of our teams to win the cup sometime soon. Calgary almost got it 2 years ago, hopefully Edmonton gets it this time. Rolly the goalie has been doing pretty good, let a few easy ones threw, but still doing pretty good.

Well tough luck for the Sabres tonight as Carolina advances. I say tough luck because Buffalo would have won this series as easily as they did against Ottawa. Too bad that 4 of their 6 defensement were out with injuries, and their top centerman too. Just an unlucky series of events. But hey, theres always next year.

In the begining of the season people pegged buffalo to miss the playoffs and be another disaster. With their low-low salary I could venture and guess that Buffalo will have no problems retaining key players. I think this years salary was only $29m; $10m less than the cap. Next season the cap should jump to 43-46. Buffalo is going to have a great club in the future.

$1157.60 in tickets.

3x Game 5, Section 116, Row 2 = $890.75

And just in case

2x Game 7, Section 336, Row who cares, it's upper level already = $266.85

I wanted to get at least one game with really good seats, and then I decided to get some Game 7 tickets too, just in case. I figured IF we do go to Game 7, I DEFINATELY want to be there, but I didn't have as much to spend becauase of the Game 5 tickets so upper level works, as long as I'm there and screaming my fool head off :D.

Plus I plan on going to the arena every away game to watch with the rest of the fans, assuming they do that again this year. They did in 2002, but I haven't heard anything official yet. I'll have to ask my friend who works at the RBC Center.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
