Dallas just let the Oilers have that first game, see what happened in the 2nd.... 6 to 1..... haahhaahahha

DALLAS OR NEW JERSEY ALL THE WAY, i want the final between these two, i would be torn of who to root for!

[CatnipOligarchy]

wow...another detroit loss...i get the feeling Disney is having these Anaheim wins arranged in preparation for D4...now they just need to get emilio estevez back in charge and get goldberg back out on the ice and all will be well in disneyland...and the redwings will be out of it! :woot:

[Blodia]

game 2 of oilers and dallas was pure bull. 27 minutes of power play..stupid refs were strict as hell.

[Cara Veteran]

Now, now guys. I've actually just been sitting back collecting names to ban. ;)

Special Dispensation from Neobond to ban all you naysayers. ;)

On a real note. Was spending the evening with my Significant other shopping for a new TV. Damn I wish I was joking. :: LOL ::

The new one should withstand a puck thrown at it according to the salesman.

You have no idea how cool this thing is. :) I think out the door I ended up spending about $4,200 with the converters and all that but it's a hell of an upgrade from my 32" one. :) Funny thing is, with the converter is does HDTV with no problems, odd they would say it doesn't.

As for my outlook on the Wings? Check my editorial at the begining of this thread. ;)

[CatnipOligarchy]

:cry: ...i want that tv so bad...now you get to watch the games in style...yeah detroit will probably beat the ducks...but i dont think they are gonna repeat...

[Cara Veteran]

Though I'm a Red Wings fan through and through, I'm getting my old siggy and avatar ready just incase. ;)

[Ji@nBing]

;) Cara. i know this has been suggested before, but how about making this a sticky? :angry: btw, i'm soooo jealous of ur new tv

[Cara Veteran]

I've discussed the sticky possbility with an Admin, they didn't think so because Hockey isn't entirely universal. So, we'll just keep it sticky with posts and if things continue on, I'll revisit the issue. :)

About the TV, just finished watching Red Planet on Sci-Fi...

DAMN this thing is nice. ;)

Thinking about moving the iMac in there and hooking it up to the VGA port. ;)

[CatnipOligarchy]

hockey isnt universal???...i feel for the poor souls who cant experience it...

[Cara Veteran]

You and me both. ;)

I can't remember life before Hockey...oh wait...there wasn't one.

[Ji@nBing]

:laugh: haha, i'm actually surprised this thread is already 14 pages. good to see so many hockey fans on neowin. i always thought americans barely noticed hockey existed but this is proving me wrong. up here in canada hockey means so much to us, i would say even more than baseball to americans. :p we're STILL celebrating our olympic gold medal win. lol, u can get dvd's of it in cereal. but we're happy to share the great canadian game with u. eh?

[Troyboy]

Dallas Put an A$$ Woopen on the Oil. This just proves that the Oil's got noth'n!

Dallas In 5 :yes:

everyone else Be afraid.... Be very afraid!!! :laugh:

[Cara Veteran]

Don't count the Oilers out yet, as the announcers say.

Nobody plays Dallas better than Oilers...and when you put them on their own ice, Dallas might have trouble...

[BroChaos Veteran]

hey i'm from michigan, hockey's pretty important here too, we're neighbours with you canadians :)

that ducks/wings game was incredible, i can't believe the ducks are up 2-0.

i'm ****ed there's no weekend game for the flyers and leafs though, i work too late on the weekdays :(

[Cara Veteran]

Are you ready........Are you ready Hockeytown....

Are you ready........Are you ready Hockeytown....

This will be one you sure not forgettin to take the Stanley Cup outta HockeyTown!

Watch me set it off, just like Sergei Fedorov!

Some of you team are better off, using your stick in a round of golf.

;)

[gerf]

they played awesome tonight but the officiating still sucked... they called way too many penalties

The officiating did suck for both games. Hopefully the refs get the memo that hockey is a contact sport. Cloutier really saved your guy's butt in the 3rd period. Hopefully the refs will let both teams play the rest of the series. Go blues!!!

[Cara Veteran]

My question is...

When has the officiating in the NHL NOT sucked. :p

It's a trend lately, the ref's must be paid by the Whistle Blow. :p

They blow it once, they get 500 bucks. Twice, 1000... and so on.

I mean, you DON'T call too many men on the ice in the third period of a PLAYOFF game.

i guess we don't play those :alien: too much, eh? :rolleyes:
