CanadianChris Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 20 games (or fewer) left in the regular season. Time to begin the playoff push. Tomorrow is a rare interesting slate of Friday games -- Pittsburgh at Carolina, Toronto at New Jersey, Ottawa at Atlanta, Montreal at Buffalo and San Jose at Anaheim are all key matchups. Henrik Zetterburg is out 2-3 weeks for the Red Wings with an injured back.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 The Sabres will destroy another pathetic Canuck team with Joe Blow and some guy in the crowd in their lineup.
Zetterberg is God Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Henrik Zetterburg is out 2-3 weeks for the Red Wings with an injured back. What sucks the most was that the first diagnosis said he'd be back by Friday. It just got even tougher for the Wings to win the Central and the West. He was also on his way to having an MVP type season but that's pretty much ruined now.
CanadianChris Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Posted March 2, 2007 Soooooooo many three-point games. Every game that's ended so far tonight has gone to OT or a shootout. Tampa Bay and Washington went to the tenth shooter before the Lightning finally won it.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 Buffalo easily disposes Montreal. Yeah, things are going far too well. Hurry up, painful playoff loss.
treble Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 The Leafs got a big shootout win in Jersey. I just hope Tomas Kaberle isn't dead.
treble Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Anyone catch Martin Gerber hacking Chris Phillips finger on the bench? The best was the reaction of the guy sitting next to Phillips (not sure who it was). I laughed.
CanadianChris Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Posted March 5, 2007 I missed it. I only got home in time to see the shootout. Just read about it in the paper, though. The guy can't do ANYTHING right.
bob_barron Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 The Canucks v. Wild game sounds like it was great last night. Worth me being dead this morning? I think so
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=198872&hubname= Hello Kansas City Penguins. Edit: The Penguins board is down. It must be all the people in Kansas City who are going to see Pens play next season.
JustJoe2k5 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 I missed it. I only got home in time to see the shootout. Just read about it in the paper, though. The guy can't do ANYTHING right. Here you go. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kQbse4JwWoU Thank God he never did that to Eric Staal or Rod Brind'Amour here in Carolina.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 I liked the guy's comment on the YouTube site: "Imagine what would have happened if he'd hit Emery instead of Phillips". Only one game on tap tonight, the Isles make a short drive to MSG to take on the Rangers.
mike546 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 The Rangers are owning the Islanders in everyway possible yet cannot get the puck past DiPietro.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 When I had Molson That's Hockey on, they showed a few clips of the first period before switching back to curling; Midway through the first, the Rangers were outshooting 11-1. Mike, can you buy a voodoo DiPietro doll or something? A Rangers win is less harmful to the Habs at this point.
Red Baron Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Well, apparently there are reports that Guy Carbonneau does not like Russian players. Truth or not, the only European that is playing well for the Habs is Koivu.
Smartly Pretty Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 That rangers/isles game was one of the better ones I've seen this year. Great goaltending, lot's of fun offense, playoff implications, plus a shootout. I approve.
Annabelle Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 if dipietro plays like this in the playoffs, the isles will be REAL dangerous. i made a real puss pick having them come out of the east, but really, they have a lot of pieces. yashin can be a detriment, though. as long as they don't have to face the devils first round.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Well, apparently there are reports that Guy Carbonneau does not like Russian players. Truth or not, the only European that is playing well for the Habs is Koivu. Kovalev denied that he ever said that.
Red Baron Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Don't matter, all the Russians on the team are playing fuck the dog this year.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Don Cherry's gonna have a field day with this one.
Red Baron Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Agreed. And I hope he rips into them good.
CanadianChris Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Posted March 7, 2007 So in their last three games, the Senators have blown a one-goal third period lead against Atlanta (lost 4-2), a two-goal third period lead against Chicago (lost 4-3 in a shootout), and now a THREE-goal third period lead against Pittsburgh (lost 5-4 in a shootout). Things aren't looking so good for the playoffs right now.
CanadianGuitarist Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Toronto moves into eighth with its win, and Iginla assists on three unanswered goals (two of them by prodigal Craig Conroy) to win the Flames fifth straight over St. Louis.
Guest Queen Leelee Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Heh, I wouldn't mind seeing Toronto finishing in 8th. A nice quick sweep to open up the playoffs.
MARTYEWR Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 So in their last three games, the Senators have blown a one-goal third period lead against Atlanta (lost 4-2), a two-goal third period lead against Chicago (lost 4-3 in a shootout), and now a THREE-goal third period lead against Pittsburgh (lost 5-4 in a shootout). Things aren't looking so good for the playoffs right now. To make matters worse, their coach's reaction to all that was that of a zombie, staring mindlessly at the proceedings, while the crowd at Scotiabank Place knew he needed to call a timeout to rally the troops. This team is loaded with talent, but lacks the killer instinct when it counts the most during games, and it showed last night. Things like this contribute to those first round disappointment the Senators have had in past seasons. As for the Penguins, the best player on the ice last night (on both squads) wasn't Crosby or Malkin, but Jordan Staal. This kid is 18 years old and was the most complete player on the ice. He's big, a superb skater, excellent with the puck, and strong on defense. An excellent all-around player. Basically, he's a bigger Steve Yzerman, and is going to be a star in this league for a long, long time.
bob_barron Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Heh No. The Leafs probably aren't making the playoffs, but I don't think they'd be an easy sweep. They've beaten Buffalo twice now, and are a good road team. If they could stop playing like ass at home...maybe they'd have something
Red Baron Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 So I finally saw the hit from Cam Jannsen on Tomas Kaberle. A beauty of hit if Tomas just passed the puck, but it was dirty.
Annabelle Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 buffalo has first round upset written all over them.
Guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Yeah, they really do. I can see that team getting ran over by a bigger team. When I say ran over, I mean literally. They can't "out-physical" anyone, and they don't have too many gritty players or any defensive defensemen.
