NHL 09-10 Season

[homeboyrocketshoulders]

I'm hoping chicago wins the west, but I wouldnt be shocked if it went the other way.

I must say though that san jose seems to have finally found themselves in the playoffs. If they beat chicago and go to the cup, I say they take it all regardless of who shows up from the east.

I'm starting to lean towards the Blackhawks or Sharks winning the cup this year. Although, optimistically I would want Satan and the Bruins to win.

[Matrix XII]

Good series, the Hawks were the better team.

[Bubbabyte]

F&$K THE HATERS!!! HABS DID IT!!! 8 MORE TO GO!!! ole' ole' ole' ole'

[bluewind.]

damn Canadians

[spacey]

woo go montreal :)

[R-Flex]

I am absolutely giddy about the prospect of an Original Six team taking the Cup. The Bruins or Hawks, long without Stanley's mug, or the Canadiens, the greatest franchise of all time, finally back in the game. Their story is legendary this year. Even the Flyers would be interesting, being thirty-five years removed from glory.

And you were saying that the habs would lose earlier. heart says habs in 7, brain is yelling "are you serious?". If habs take one of the games in pittsburgh I have full confidence they can take the series. They keep playing like they are, like they want it more then the other guys and they'll be fine. Whoever wants it more usually takes it in the playoffs.

always listen to your heart...

they can't because crosby/malkin/fleury sucks, just like ovechkin and semin sucked last round

looks like i was right again (Y)

[mikebiacsi]

You must be feeling pretty smug right now rajputwarrior :p

Good on the habs, always nice to see the underdog win.

[rajputwarrior]

^ and yeah, im pretty happy right now :)

damn Canadians

canadiens*

[revvo]

The comeback of the Canadiens and the Flyers is nothing short of impressive. For us, it's as if we won the cup in Montreal. I rarely use my car horn, so finally I did :D

I won't lie, I'm as shocked as the Pens fans, because on paper they have a more solid and experienced team. What I think Habs brought is heart, and seeing Halak try his hardest pushed the rest of the team to not let him down by putting the puck in their nets. The result is this, being in the conference finals hasn't happen since 1993 and we won our last Cup that year.

In people's minds here, we will be in the finals. I sure hope so, and whether it's the Flyers or Bruins, it will be an intense series!

[bluezz]

WHAT A GAME!

Gotta freakin love Halak! My bar could not stop cheering for that guy.

And then came the riots:

Hundreds of youths riot in Montreal

and

Hockey joy turns to violence in wake of Canadiens' victory

The city totally went nuts!

[spacey]

^ a few stupid drunk ppl really give the whole city and real montreal canadian fans a bad name.

Wow I can't believe Montreal won. My hats off to them because I didn't think they had a CHANCE against Pittsburgh.

Don't get too cocky yet, you will still have to beat SJ or Chi, that's a bit different than the teams you have played.

I'm kind of hoping for the Habs tho now...

said that about washington, pittsburgh... bring it on

[Slane]

I've had Hawks taking cup since January, so I'm still gonna go with them if it's a Habs/Hawks showdown. Though, they'll have to find someway to get past Halak, who is a ****in beast and definitely Playoff MVP.

As to Washington, everyone says it and it's true. Built for regular season, but not playoffs.

And always thought Pitts was overrated just because they got Sid.

To: Boston

Worst collapse in NHL history. Yes, on two previous occasions teams have rebounded from trailing 3-0 in a playoff series to win four straight games. But Boston also had a 3-0 lead in Game 7 only to lose the game (and the series) 4 to 3.

All that being said, I would have taken Boston to win the series and I would have preferred them to win but, no, that just wasn't in the cards.

[Slane]

Wow, I want Habs to win now. lol

they are not at all, they have malkin too, last year's conn smythe winner for the STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS...

they are a solid team, montreal just figured them out.

Doesn't matter who they have, you hear about Pit you are only going to hear about Sid. Nothing against the team really. Just against all the talk and chit-chat about Pens being the greatest team ever in exists and will dominate the league because of Sid. I know they have other players, and I know they won the Cup last year, but honestly. How often do you hear about anyone else (other than in-game and even then) w/o Sid being mentioned. Annoyed is a great way to describe it.

What I meant by overrated is I think people give them way to much credit, simply due to Sid being on there team. They are a good team and for the past couple of years have been cup contenders (and they did win), but if Sid wasn't with them, we wouldn't hear so much about 'em and in that case we would hear about w/e team had Sid.

I didn't watch the Montreal-Philly game, was that totally on Halak, or did Halak do amazingly well but his ****ty teammates weren't up to par last night? Also, San Jose what the ****?
