NHL Hockey Playoff Thread

Although if you think about Calgary lost and they beat your AV's so does that mean the AV's woulda lost too :p

Doesn't matter :p The team that kept the Avs out of the playoffs is out as well, so I'm happy.

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this Wings-Sharks matchup... :(

I think we're either going to see another early exit by Detroit or them win the Cup. If they can get past the Sharks, I think they'll do fine, but I don't see it happening.

Ottawa v Rangers eastern final!

I thought the East consisted of Buffalo v. New York and New Jersey v. Ottawa?

If the Canucks win, then the Wings will face the Sharks. Otherwise, it would be Dallas.

And I have serious doubts of a Canuck victory.

I assume he was predicting for the Rangers to beat the Sabres and the Senators to beat the Devils thus setting up a "Ottawa v Rangers eastern final!"

Too bad the Lightning are gone... Loved watching St. Louis and Lecavalier, pure magic. Brodeur was just too good vs Holmquist.

Flames gone too, tough loss in OT last night :( Their home vs road level of play is what killed them this year.

Detroit vs San Jose

Anaheim vs Vancouver

OR

Detroit vs Dallas

Anaheim vs San Jose

Going to find out tonight...

Good to see that Detroit got rid of Calgary. What a bunch of sore losers, picking fights cause your loosing!! Real professional. Idiots!

I really hope Dallas wins tonight. Hate to be picky, but I would personally like to see that happen. As a Detroit fan for 18+ years....not really looking forward to a starting time of 10:30pm ET (If Det. plays San Jose). Not cool!!! lol. But whatever goes....goes. Just want to see a good series and also a good playoffs.

This is hockey at it's best!

Go Wings!

Wow, what a game ! everytime I go work out of tow them 'nucks win !

It should be interesting matchup between Ducks & Nucks, thing is with Vancouver they either lose round 1 or go straight to the final, I can only hope they go to final.

my prediction for San Jose to take Detroit in 6 games, I don't know about Anaheim & Vancouver.

Eastern Conference

Buffalo Sabres v. New York Rangers

As much as I'd love to predict my Rangers to win, I have serious doubts that they may defeat such a team as Buffalo. However, they will give them a run for their money, perhaps six games.

New Jersey Devils v. Ottawa Senators

Chalk this one up to the fact that the Senators always lose. Plus, Brodeur may get into playoff mode. Devils in six games.

Western Conference

Detroit Red Wings v. San Jose Sharks

Don't get me wrong: The Sharks are a very good team. One of the best kept secrets in the league. Yet, I will go with the more reliable bet of the better team, the Red Wings. Likely in seven games.

Anaheim Ducks v. Vancouver Canucks

The last series between the Canucks and the Stars proved how the Canucks (and the Stars) are lacking. Like I have said, not enough scoring. Either the Stars or Canucks would have lost in the second round easily. The Canucks, their "team" consists of Roberto Luongo. Unless Luongo pulls off the most amazing games of his career, I would not give this to Vancouver. Anaheim in five games.

Altogether, the first three series will be very close. No clear victor. I have serious doubts myself over my predictions, because anything could happen (except a Canuck victory over the Ducks).

Yes although one of the reasons I personally think there was a lack of scoring in the Stars vs Canucks series was because of the goalies. Honestly luongo and Turco got a standing ovation. they performed amazingly.

The ducks and canucks series will be very interesting indeed. I believe that if our boys (The canucks) can keep their momentum in actually scoring then we have a chance against the ducks. Because your right luongo cant do it all.

Canucks win!! Yeah bitches!!! My buddies and I were going crazy. Especially when Linden scored.?I was pretty sure we were going to lose this game, but just like all season long, we found a way to win when it counts the most. Great game yet again by Luongo. Anahiem is up next on Wednesday!!

Pft, R-Flex. As I recall, your original prediction was Stars in 6, followed by 7 :p.

While you do a decent job of sugar coating your life-long hatred of our home team with some logic and proof, it's still riddled with bias :laugh:

Ps, could you hear the cars honking over at your place? We could hear'em loud'n'clear.

Woot! Go 'Nucks!!

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
