Guest Mikey2Dope Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 AGH! Bloody Canucks! Blow a 3-1 3rd period lead to Phoenix on Wednesday and don't do anything against LA tonight and lose the division,the scoring lead AND the goal scoring lead to Forsberg and Hejduk. What a crappy weak. Annnnnnyways my first round picks: Dallas over Edmonton in 5 Anaheim over Detroit in 7 Colorado over Minnesota in 7 Vancouver over St. Louis in 6 Ottawa over Islanders in 5 New Jersey over Boston in 5 Tampa Bay over Washinton in 7 Philadelphia over Toronto in 6

Guest bob_barron Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Damnit- why did the Canucks have to blow the division??
Guest bob_barron Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Screw you. St. Louis is getting their ass kicked. GO CANUCKS!
Guest Vern Gagne Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Better have the tissues ready, Bob!
Guest bob_barron Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 For when I cry tears of joy when the Canucks win?
Urban Warfare Posted April 6, 2003 Author Report Posted April 6, 2003 Marty Turco broke the single season G.A.A finishing with a 2-0 shut-out vs Nashville. Full Story
Guest bob_barron Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Overtime losses are a crock of shit. Vancouver had more wins then Colorado but lose the division because Col had more losses in overtime. Bullshit
Guest CanadianChris Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 East: Ottawa over NY Islanders 4-0 New Jersey over Boston 4-1 Washington over Tampa Bay 4-2 Toronto over Philadelphia 4-2 West: Dallas over Edmonton 4-3 Detroit over Anaheim 4-0 Colorado over Minnesota 4-2 Vancouver over St. Louis 4-1
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Ottawa over NYI in 5 TO over Philly in 6 Tampa over Wash in 7 NJD over Bahston in 5 Dalls over Edmonton in 7 Colorado over Minn in 6 Van over Stl in 7 Detroit over Anaheim in 5
Guest fairtoflair7 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Hey, the Isles may lose but I don't think they will go down that easily. Nothing like watching my NHL Overtime video to get pumped and ready for the playoffs. Ott over Isles in 7 (Yash and co. will give them a run for thier $) Philly over Tor in 6 TB over Wash in 6 NJ over Bos in 5 (B's have no goaltending) Dallas over Edm in 7( Should be a great series like all others have) Col over Minn in 5 Van over Stl in 6 Ana over Det in 7 (Gotta have one surprise)
Guest The Czech Republic Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I want to see Edmonton bump the Stars out so bad. I'm all about a Senators-Oilers final in the Stanley Cup Championship Between Two Cities Most Americans Couldn't Locate If They Tried.
Guest CanadianChris Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 The Islanders have beaten Ottawa exactly twice in the last SEVEN YEARS. Where do you think they're going to get three wins in 10 days from?
Guest fairtoflair7 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 The series was 2-1-1 in favor of Ott this year plus the Isles won in Ott so if they can pull off a game in the Corel, I think the Isles have a chance. The Isles won't lose at the Ol'Barn. The whole atmosphere of the Coliseum changes...you'll see that shortley. Ask the Leafs.
Guest CanadianChris Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Except there's no Darcy Tucker to incite the Isles or their fans. I see no reason why this will be close.
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 East: Ottawa over NY Islanders in 4. (The Sens get lucky with an easy first round series.) New Jersey over Boston in 6. (I'm realistic enough to recognize that the B's goaltending will get outplayed by Brodeur.) Tampa Bay over Washington in 7. (Bhulin Wall outplays Olie the Goalie.) Toronto over Philadelphia in 6. (Matchup of 2 teams that made major trades at the deadline. Philly hits the golf course early yet again.) West: Dallas over Edmonton in 5 (Dallas is just too much for the Oilers.) Detroit over Anaheim in 4 (See above, replace "Dallas" with "Detroit" and "Oilers with "Ducks".) Colorado over Minnesota in 6 (Roy gets shelled in one game and loses in OT in another but otherwise the Avs are just too strong.) Vancouver over St. Louis in 7 (Best 1st round series of them all.) Cup: Detroit over NJ in 7.
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 The series was 2-1-1 in favor of Ott this year plus the Isles won in Ott so if they can pull off a game in the Corel, I think the Isles have a chance. The Isles won't lose at the Ol'Barn. The whole atmosphere of the Coliseum changes...you'll see that shortley. Ask the Leafs. The Leafs won the series and injured your top defencemen and Michael Peca. I don't think they're too upset over losing at Nassau last year.
Patty O'Green Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 East Ottawa over NYI 4-1 Jersey over Boston 4-0 Crapitals over Tampa Bay 4-2 Toronto over Philly 4-3 West Dallas over Edmonton 4-1 Detroit over Anaheim 4-0 Colorado over Minnesota 4-2 St.Louis over Vancouver 4-3 ( I can only hope)
Guest fairtoflair7 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I'm just saying that getting a W in the Coliseum during the playoffs is a very difficult thing to do for the visiting team. The Leafs went 0-3 there last year.
Guest LaParkaMarka Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Ugh, I can't believe how the Canucks choked down the stretch. Of course, it wouldn't have mattered if the retarded overtime loss point wasn't around. Anyways, my picks: West (1) Dallas vs (8) Edmonton - Edmonton in 7 (2) Detroit vs (7) Anaheim - Detroit in 5 (3) Colorado vs (6) Minnesota - Colorado in 5 (4) Vancouver vs (5) St Louis - Vancouver in 6 East (1) Ottawa vs (8) NY Islanders - Ottawa in 6 (2) New Jersey vs (7) Boston - Jersey in 7 (3) Tampa Bay vs (6) Washington - Tampa in 5 (the caps looked pathetic against the Sens and Nucks...they can't handle a decent team) (4) Philidelphia vs (5) Toronto - Flyers in 7
Guest cartman Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 West (1) Dallas vs (8) Edmonton - Dallas in 5(GUERIN~!) (2) Detroit vs (7) Anaheim - Detroit in 4(Team HOF cant lose to Team Disney) (3) Colorado vs (6) Minnesota - Colorado in 7(I have a feeling the Wild can actually make the Av's work for this series.) (4) Vancouver vs (5) St Louis - St. Louis in 6(There has to be one upset in the first round here...) East (1) Ottawa vs (8) NY Islanders - Ottowa(No team that scrapes into the playoffs should beat a #1 seed...*has flashback of last season*...DOH!) (2) New Jersey vs (7) Boston - Bruins in 6(I know, I know, stupid homer bias. Yes they have no #1 Goalie but that offense is potent and NJ has no offense...anything can happen.) (3) Tampa Bay vs (6) Washington - Washington in 5(Upset special east side!) (4) Philidelphia vs (5) Toronto - Philly in 4(Toronto sucks)
Guest MaxPower27 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 East: Ottawa over Isles in 5 Boston over Jersey in 6 Tampa bver Washington in 6 Philly over TO in 5 West: Dallas over Edmonton in 6 Anaheim over Detroit in 7 Colorado over Minnesota in 6 St Louis over Vancouver (sorry, Canucks fans) in 6
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 You're picking Boston over New Jersey? Are you insane? Good defence beats good offence anyday of the week. The Bruins have absolutely no goaltending and no defence which is a bad combination in the playoffs. Broduer is going to stone Thorton and Murray and the Bruins will once again be going home early. Philly in 4 over TO?? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Why do you guys think Bahston has a shot over Jersey? It just doesnt add up
Guest MaxPower27 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 Jesus fucking Christ. Bob, take your pills or something. It's called a gut feeling. Sometimes it's wrong. I wanted Boston to beat the Habs last year, but my gut feeling was that they would lose. This year, I just have a feeling that Jersey may take them too lightly, and end up making key mistakes. Do they have better goaltending? Yes. Did I pick Boston to go undefeated to the Stanley Cup? No. Goaltending ultimately decides the playoffs, but a team can get lucky and put together 4 wins by just out shooting their opponents. Brodeur is a good goalie, but Hackett can be great on some nights. Who knows, maybe Hackett stands on his head in close games and Boston catches Marty having two off nights. Bingo. Series won. Sorry I had a difference of opinion.
Guest bob_barron Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I think Jersey has learned their lesson about taking teams too lightly since it's bit them in the ass before. Sorry if my post came off a bit heated- It just caught me by suprise that someone would pick Boston.
Urban Warfare Posted April 7, 2003 Author Report Posted April 7, 2003 You're picking Boston over New Jersey? Are you insane? Even though i picked jersey in 5, i think that boston has a shitload of offensive talent (thornton, murray) to name a few.
