NHL 2006 Playoffs thread...

I'm very glad that the Ducks have used their 3rd uniforms during their home games in the playoffs. The eggplant ones are ugly, while these are nice looking.

My God, New Jersey is just getting murdered. Is it rust, or an indication of how this series is going to go?

 

Jersey's defence doesn't look remotely up to the task of stopping the Hurricanes right now.

From what I saw, it looked like they were having a hard time getting anything started. That and the ice looked terrible down in Carolina.

The ice is terrible in most southern cities, especially LA, Carolina and Dallas.

 

New Jersey sucked because of rust and the pace of the game. They can play at that pace, but they didn't need to against the Rangers.

Is Colorado ever going to score a goal? It's not looking like it.

 

Bryzgalov tied the all-time playoff record for consecutive shutouts (ironically shared by J.-S. Giguere) with 3. He's 40:27 away from breaking the all-time record for consecutive playoff shutout minutes, set 76 years ago by the Canadiens' George Hainsworth (270:08).

Unbelievable. Ottawa scores 6 and loses, then gives up 2 and loses again. I'm starting to wonder what it's going to take to win a game in this series.

 

That shot by Spezza late required divine intervention to stay out.

Does the better team go down 0-2 after 2 home games?

Well, Carolina is the better team in their series (home ice and all), so no.

 

But, a late Jersey goal ties the series.

 

EDIT: OH MY GOD CAROLINA TIED IT WITH :03 LEFT.

Carolina's going to be representing the East in the Stanley Cup Finals. I think everyone (including me) really underrated the depth this team has. They've got veterans, Staal and a budding star in net.

 

They've got BrindAmour, Staal, Weight, Recchi, Cole when healthy, Whitney, Stillman, Cullen's playing great, Justin Williams. That's deep and fast.

I am taking an almost perverse joy in knowing that the Devils lost a game when all they needed to do was keep a lead for 21 seconds. Brodeur and Co., and their 4 fans can all suck it.

Hey, 4 1/3 if you count Bob Barron!

If anyone was watching Jersey/Carolina on OLN (haha, not likely), can they tell me who the play by play and color analyst were?

This series isn't even close right now. The good news is that teams have been dominated like this and come back and won, but it's not looking good at all.

3-3 with four to play in Denver.

 

Colorado's about to go on a powerplay. Anaheim has killed 29 (!) straight, including holding the Avs at 17 straight in this series.

I don't think that Ottawa is the better team.

 

I think Ottawa has better players.

 

The difference between the two statments is why Ottawa has yet to reach a Cup final.

 

Yeah, but there's only one reason the Sabres reached their one cup final in the past 30 years... and it wasn't a great team.

Avs pp two minutes into OT.

 

They fuck this up, it's 0-for-28, which woul dbe the second longest drought in franchise history. And a great 'somethings gota give' stat: Colorado has won six straight playoff ot games, Anaheim 8 of 9.
