Guest Spicy McHaggis Report post Posted February 18, 2003 I love playoff hockey, but I thought I'd start watching early. Just wanted to get a recap. Who's good? Who's bad? Who's improving? The major storylines etc, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Chuck Woolery Report post Posted February 18, 2003 The Senators can't pay their players, yet they're in first place in the East. There's a storyline for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted February 18, 2003 - The Rangers sprang their annual Big Trade, buying Alexi Kovalev from Mario Lemieux... I mean Pittsburgh, which past history tells us should be enough to keep them out of the playoffs. - The Leafs have been on a roll, but once again seem destined for a 4 or 5th place finish. - The Sharks look to be having a fire sale real soon, and will probably trade Owen Nolan and Bryan "Career Killer" Marchment before the trade deadline. - One bankrupt team, Ottawa, is 1st overall, while the other, Buffalo, is last.

Guest LaParkaMarka Report post Posted February 18, 2003 The Canucks have become a powerhouse team now, and looks to be winning the Northeast. The Avs didn't look very good at all this season, but they've been on a tear since firing their coach and could challenge the Canucks for the division title. The Minnesota Wild somehow became good. I don't know either. Looks like they'll make the playoffs. Detroit looked crappy at first, but now they're doing really well again. Hooray. I hope they get annilihilated. The Stars look like they're the best team in the league right now. And the Rangers really really suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fazzle Report post Posted February 18, 2003 WOOOOOO!!!! LAST PLACE BABY!!!!!!! LALALALALALALA, I can't heeeeeeeeeeear you! Nope, no last place. The season just started, and the Sabres are 2-0 after beating the Islanders and Canadiens by a combined score of 11-2. No, they haven't played any more games than that. None. At all.

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted February 18, 2003 Well, my boys in Ottawa have been cleaning house. But, that's already been covered. My other team, the Bruins were the best team in the NHL, up until around December, where they apparently forgot that you have to keep playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 My other team, the Bruins were the best team in the NHL, up until around December, where they apparently forgot that you have to keep playing. You can blame me for the Bruins decline. I'm supposed to be boycotting the team this year (long time season ticket holder who finally got sick of giving that walking piece of shit Jacobs my hard earned money) but broke down and bought two tickets to a game for a date. She'd never been to a Bruins game, and I figured it was a sweet way to spend three hours with her, so bought tickets to Dec. 4 against the Blues. The B's got shelled and haven't looked good since. I truly apologize to all Bruins fans, I shouldn't have put getting some over the Bruins winning a Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted February 19, 2003 They've gone into the shitter. Something like 13 points out of the playoffs, or something (maybe not that much, I'm not really sure, but they aren't close). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gthureson Report post Posted February 19, 2003 The 'Canes just imploded in early December. They were about where I expected them to be at that point (hanging around first place in their division, sometimes a couple up, sometimes three or four down), and then they just came apart. More or less around the time they traded Malek for Hlavac. Now injuries are piling up, and you can stick a fork in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LaParkaMarka Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Getting rid of Kapanen for (as I recall) a bunch of nothing was a pretty dumb move on Carolina's part too. Poor Ron Francis. Though at least Kevin Weekes has established himself as a starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cartman Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Bruins are garbage until they get Gill, O'donnel, and Samsonov back from injuries. The real sad part is Ftorek will be fired before then. He will be the 8th coach fired this season in the NHL...that's almost 1/3 of the coaches that began the season! Insane! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
