National Hockey League 2007-08 Stanley Cup Playoffs


Recommended Posts

My picks, since we're doing that I guess hehe

1Montreal vs 8Boston = Montreal (I don't like them after this round however)

2Pittsburgh vs 7Ottawa = Pittsburgh (The Penguins have too much going for them, the Sens are spiraling downwards)

3Washington vs 6Flyers = Washington (I'm pulling for the Caps like no other team right now)

4NJ vs NY = 5New Jersey (Close one, but the Devils have Brodeur, and NY doesn't)

1Detroit vs 8Nashville = Detroit (Great team, but will they get production from Datsyuk, Zetts, and Hasek?)

2San Jose vs 7Calgary = Calgary (Very tough choice, but Calgary has a playoff team)

3Minnesota vs 6Colorado = Colorado (The Avs have more depth because of the deadline, and more experience)

4Anaheim vs 5Stars = Anaheim (Anaheim could win the cup again)

We have similar picks :p

You actually think that Nashville is going to beat Detroit? :|

Cup picks

West: Anaheim

East: Pittsburgh

Stanley Cup: Anaheim

I hope they don't though, cause I hate Anaheim.

Lets go bruins!

Yeah, go home Bruins! Oh wait, that's not what you meant, is it? ;)

I'll laugh when your Habs don't make it past the 2nd round.

I'll laugh if your team doesn't make it past the first round... oh yeah, they're not playing. :p

You expect to win the cup with a rookie goalie?

Dryden? Roy? They never won any cups in their rookie years?

Ok, my picks lol

1. Montreal Canadiens vs. 8. Boston Bruins = Montreal Canadiens

2. Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 7. Ottawa Senators = Pittsburgh Penguins (Sens have been going down hill)

3. Washington Capitals vs. 6. Philadelphia Flyers = Philadelphia Flyers

4. New Jersey Devils vs. 5. New York Rangers = New Jersey Devils

Western Conference

1. Detroit Red Wings vs. 8. Nashville Predators = Detroit Red Wings

2. San Jose Sharks vs. 7. Calgary Flames = Calgary Flames (Go Flames!)

3. Minnesota Wild vs. 6. Colorado Avalanche = Colorado Avalanche

4. Anaheim Ducks vs. 5. Dallas Stars = Dallas Stars

East = Montreal Canadiens

West = Detroit Red Wings (Though I want the Flames)

Cup = Montreal Canadiens (Once again, I want the cup here. I was to young the last time Calgary won lol)

Just as long as its not the ducks. I hate the ducks. Wish Vancouver however was in place of the Preds

you are from calgary and you like van... that doesn't make sense. and the ducks are amazing!

you are from calgary and you like van... that doesn't make sense. and the ducks are amazing!

I like Vancouver for some reason lol They aren't my favourite team or anything (The Flames are), But they aren't too bad. I just really don't like the Preds or Ducks. I think its mostly because of the movies, but just really don't like them lol

@Joel

Fair enough we didn't make the playoffs, but we didn't have the horses to do much this year, we all know that.

I'm not saying that Price isn't a great goalie. Just looking at the past isn't going to make him a Dryden or Roy, even though he is playing in Hab country. Those aforementioned goaltenders honed their skills as rookies in a different age and it's much tougher these days.

Let's just say that Montreal wins the East (which I doubt), they will have to go against a West team that is built for the playoffs. Your team hasn't changed much from last year (you even lost Souray) and I'm not sure why everyone is expecting a cup. Teams like San Jose, Calgary, and Anaheim have teams that are built to win playoff series, teams that have toughness and grit. You go up against Anaheim and who is going to step up to the plate and play physical? They'll knock Kovalev and your talented Euros into next week. (Why do you think Vancouver is too soft, because we have too many damn Swedes!)

The West is a completely different conference, and when it comes playoff time, the West will win the Stanley cup again.

I don't hate Montreal, I quite like them actually, I just don't see them winning a cup. Rookie goalie, Koivu injured, little toughness.

Let me hear your thoughts too because, I'm just one person, and of course can be wrong ;)

Here are mine! Can't wait for tonight:

Montreal vs Boston = Montreal

Pittsburgh vs Ottawa = Pittsburgh

Washington vs Flyers = Washington

NJ vs NY = New Jersey

Detroit vs Nashville = Detroit

San Jose vs Calgary = Calgary

Minnesota vs Colorado = Minnesota

Anaheim vs Stars = Stars

^ really, the stars, i am going to enjoy throwing that back in your face...

ha, little toughness, i love it when people say that about us and koivu will be back very soon, don't worry. Boston thinks we ain't tough either and tries to hammer us, but we all know how that worked out all year, same with philly. We have the most balanced attack in the league and the most under rated defensive in the league. Komi is a machine and he is going to be 100 percent when he is back. Keep doubting my team, everyone has all year and i love it.

I agree the west is stronger, doesn't take a genious to see that, but i think montreal can take any team in the west one on one no problem, especially after they beat the crap out of eachother for a month and a half.

hah, the Bruins looked like deer caught in a whole bunch of headlights last night :rofl:

Caps game starting in 45mins, go Caps!!

Anaheim lost, but there has been some really bad officiating (including the Calgary game) in these playoffs so far.

GO HABS GO :)

Tonight's game was crazy. Definately not as easy as last game. The Bruins showed up for the game alot more confident and they never let go. The Canadiens will definately need to step up in their power play. It's great that they are able to beat the bruins so easily at even strength but with the power play goals on top of that, that would be amazing !

Habs will pass the 1st round without a doubt but it will be a whole different story against the Penguins !

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
