Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 I feel bad for Martin Gerber. Everyone wants to think that he just fell flat in the playoffs, but no one mentions his illness. What illness? Carolina is lucky. Cam Ward is doing a fine job in net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 It may be time for one of those triple overtime games that last until 3:00 in the morning. I don't like to toot my own horn, but I CALLED IT!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carolina is lucky. Cam Ward is doing a fine job in net. He had some type of stomach virus, lost twenty pounds in the week prior to the playoffs starting and couldn't keep any food down throughout the first few games of the Montreal series.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 And it's funny, if you think about it, that Buffalo's about 10 seconds in game 1 and an inch in game 3 from being down 2-1. Throw in Alfie's post in the dying seconds of the third last night and it could have been 3-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 I have to say that I strongly disagree with the folks that are saying certain match-ups will be 'bad for hockey' or any of that shit. Regardless of WHO'S playing in the Cup, the series will largely be ignored by ESPN. Since the NBA is on ABC, it's in their be$t intere$t to promote the fuck out of basketball and ignore hockey. And, thus, regardless of who's playing in the Cup, the games will get 3 minutes of coverage with minimal highlights. Let's just hope for the best match-ups on the ice, and not care about how good the ratings will be or how many new fans the match-up will draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted May 11, 2006 Buffalo wins the game in Overtime. This is going to be a horrible Stanley Cup. I know! Ottawa finished the regular season with 113 points, and Buffalo only had 110! They are so horrible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2006 I just have to say two things. 1. A Western Conference team will win the Cup 2. Buffalo-Carolina could go down as the most entertaining series of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted May 11, 2006 With how the season finale went, I'm liking a Buffalo-Carolina matchup. Well, maybe I shouldn't, because you just know Buffalo would lose to one of those shitty Western teams in the final in controversial fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot about Spezza putting it on the goal line in game 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KGB 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 Off the top of my head: Briere, Drury, Afinoginov (I enjoy saying his name really fast), Dumont, Hecht, Derek Roy, Kotalik, Vanek, Connolly... McKee, Campbell, Numminen, Tallinder, Lydman... and of course, the goalies, Miller and Biron. And that goon who mocked the Maple Leafs for not making the playoffs, but has played just as many playoff games as they have so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a huge surprise...I found out on ESPN.com that Hasek's not playing tonight. The huge surprise being that I found it on ESPN.com, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2006 The only veterans (by my definition and I'm only leaving ones that have a shot at the Conference Finals) left that are Cup-less are... Teppo (I love Teppo) Brind'Amour Weight Selanne Pronger So, that tells you guys what players I'm rooting for. I want Brind'Amour to get the Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2006 I'd be pretty happy for Brind'Amour. Glen Wesley, too -- he was with the team when it was still in Hartford. And he's never won a Cup either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
