NHL 2006 Playoffs thread...

Go Sens go. They actually looked like they outplayed Buffalo a little in that first period, as toward the end, the Sabres hardly got any scoring chances at all.

 

I still believe.

Maybe the Sens should shoot less.

 

Well, they probably shouldn't, but every team that's had the least amount of shots per game in this series has won said game. And no, I haven't given up on the Sens either, if nothing else, because of the three Sabres fans I work with.

 

Apparently Buffalo is already going nuts with banners saying how they've got this thing wrapped up. Pretty ballsy, as their not even HALFWAY there yet.

2-2 with about 10 to play.

 

Ottawa's looking a little anxious now.

 

EDIT: Within three minutes, a good Senators chance re-energized the restless crowd, and Ottawa's back in control, with two or three close calls. Still tied. Six and change to play.

The girlfriend called that goal. It's the ol' EA Sports hook play.

 

Congrats to the Sabres. Close series, but Miller is looking like an elite player right now.

I said the exact same thing, we called it the 2k6 s-move.

 

That said, what the fuck was that? Jason fucking Pominville? Short handed? Against the Sens? Untouched? Jesus Christ.

That's not a shot at Pominville, but who called that one instead of Drury or Briere?

 

So an Anaheim-San Jose-Buffalo-Carolina final four is entirely possible. Gary Bettman is laughing his ass off like Ted Dibiase somewhere right now.

All I could think of as I watched that replay was how badly Alfredsson fucked that play up. He may as well have taken off his red jersey and waved it at Pominville, as much as he waved him past like a matador does to a bull.

 

Congrats to the Sabres. They were the better team this series -- they handled the pressure light-years better than the Senators did.

 

Now what? I think at this point you have to point to some of the players and say they're not getting the job done. As great as Alfredsson was in the regular season -- and he was a Hart Trophy candidate -- he was virtually invisible in the postseason. I think he may be permanently scarred by all the postseason failures here. He may need to be traded.

Guest Felonies!

Fun fact: all four Eastern Conference teams ripped off the Blackhawks' color scheme. Jersey used to be red and green, Buffalo used to be blue and gold, Carolina was blue and green in Hartford, and Ottawa's only been around for like 14 years anyway. They did emulate Chicago in terms of playing like shit, though. What happened?

 

Anyway, Oilers-Sabres PLEASE. Let's keep hockey to the hockey towns

Seriously. The league will continue to be in the shitter with that kind of attitude.

Ah, Alfie got PWNED~! I've hated him since 2002, so that was pretty sweet. Now I can go back to hating the Sabres again. GO WINNER OF THE SHARKS/OILERS SERIES! The Sharks are pretty much my 2nd favourite team, although I'm only a casual follower.

I wouldn't have so much a problem with Anaheim if their mascot wasn't based on some second-rate Disney film

They're changing it after this season. I don't like their new logos either.

 

And no, they don't need a team.

 

EDIT: I made someone's sig. YES!

The Los Angeles suburbs don't need their own team.

Orange County residents wouldn't appreciate being called a suburb.

 

I don't care, just sayin'

 

 

 

but Mighty Ducks is the best mascot and logo in sports and it sucks that they're changing it.
