It's starting to get deep in here...

Oh wait, just means the Avs fans are showing up. ;)

Just remember guys, we LOVE 'Wa' in Detroit, game 7 last year was a true example of his legendary performance. ;) As the commissioner himself said...

"There is no doubt...that Detroit truly is...Hockeytown."

Hey Hey Hockeytown!

Let the Octopi Fly!

i'd absolutely love the leafs to get to the finals and win it, but i know better :(

[Joel]

we LOVE 'Wa' in Detroit

Why does the media have problems with the poor guy's name? People don't say "cWAssants", do they?

[boOmX]

i'd love to see Ottawa vs Vancouver final myself.. but that'll never happen

also this year wasnt that interesting in terms of a playoff race, the west was set weeks ago (teams that will be participating in the playoffs, not positions) and the west only had montreal and the rangers battling for a spot... last year was definatly more interesting in the west. what happened :(

i think the most intestesting series will be Dallas/Edmonton and Philly/Toronto

dallas and edmonton have had great series in the past, and its edmontons turn to go to the second round. they have played a few great games of late, showing that they are a team not to be underestimated.

philly and toronto have always provided entertainment to watch, i'd like to see philly do better this year and advance

other than that, my teams out... so it's a sad sad playoff time for me :(

better start counting the days till the season starts

[cjbeckwith]

What do you expect from a bunch of fans who through dead aquatic life on the ice?

Sorry Cara, had to do it! :laugh:

[Joel]

LMAO!! :rofl:

Seriously, that's an understandable exception. People still say Lemyoo, too. Lemieux!!!!

Can we get an Administrator to make this a Sticky? Pleeeeeeeeeeeezee :D

[Cara Veteran]

I'll talk to them about it. ;)

[gigapixels Veteran]

say anything you want, the avs will still win it :yes: and nothing the wings can do will stop them :D

[Cara Veteran]

I don't think, objectively, that Colorado has the stamina to go all the way this year. With the loss of (arguably) the best coach in the NHL to Atlanta, the loss of Chris Drury, and Patty's Mental Block against teams like Detroit which shell him left and right I think Colorado's depth just isn't there this year.

Joe and Peter can only do so much, even the great players they are.

Now, from a personal standpoint... You do know why they have a foot on their sweater don't you?

Because they STINK! :x

[BroChaos Veteran]

doesn't matter which team from the west makes it....

gonna end up losin' to the flyers in the finals, so save your energy :)

[mimeryme]

The Avs are still contenders despite all that. Don't forget they still have Milan Hejduk and Alex Tanguay.

heck yeah :D

flyers do well without their best, so with everyone in the line-up, they are the best :p

[youm0nt Veteran]

colorado lost to atlanta? :o :no: thats sad

[[yt]]

Nice avatar and sig fubarshibby :) I cant wait for the playoffs to start now.. its gonna make Cara's comments look even funnier when the avs keep on winning :)

[kainashi]

colorado lost to atlanta? :o :no: thats sad

they lost their coach to them. ;)

[mimeryme]

no need to get your hopes up Avs fans, if they see Dallas in the playoffs, say buh-bye. :D well, at least that's what i keep saying to my bro (an Avs fan.)

[CatnipOligarchy]

The Islanders are Playing Ottawa, Vancouver is in the? WESTERN CONFERENCE:blink::

i am well aware of what conference vancouver is in...i was talking about in the finals...

they lost their coach to them.? 

and the last game they played against them...4-3 in OT...but Atlanta isnt all that bad of a team...they were 4 games over .500 after bob hartley took over...and finished with 74 points after starting 0-8-0-1...you all wait until next year....you're in for a surprise

The only team that is a threat to Detroit IS Detroit. :p

The rest of the teams really should go start their golf games. ;) I *DID* hear there is a rush on Golf Equipment from the store across from the Pepsi Center...coincidence? You decide!

[DigitalFreedom]
