I'm sorry, but gyorgy cziffra needs to stop cheating by coming from the future knowing who's going to win what. I mean, that's all he's good for around here: being a lurker (not a_lurker) and cheating.

Come on Dopefish, I wouldn't be complaining. You are in a pretty good position.... I mean, you could be in my spot. Freehooker missed the last round and he STILL has more than me and BucPride.

The funny thing about it is I haven't followed hockey in years, so I'm just going off who was good back then. Working mildly well.

Well, doing MUCH better than me anyway!

I threw away some points with the Anaheim/Vancouver series, but come on, gotta put your faith in the home team.

I threw away some more with Rangers/Sabres, but that was really just wishful thinking that Sabres would lose and I'd get to read BZ cry about reffing some more.

GIVE THEM NOTHING, AND TAKE FROM THEM EVERYTHING.

I don't know what you're trying to convey, here.

It's a quote from 300

Give to them nothing- Don't post
Take from them everything- win this thing

It was a bad joke

Oh, OK.

I'm still waiting for Ottawa to lose, which I'm sure they will. It's extremely rare that a team beats the team I'm rooting for in the playoffs in any sport and ends up winning the championship.

Be careful what you wish for... because it probably won't happen! Lol ;)

Buffalo won't win because they won the president's trophy.

Hey so when are we going to see who picked what team to advance?

There you go, all posted for all to see. I wish everyone luck. Remember that for the Stanley Cup Finals, that you must also provide a total number of goals scored in the series. I will send a mass PM and remind you guys when the time comes. We lost two more players over the last round. This is mainly due to the fact GFF was up and down and a few players hadn't known Serious Business, or that GFF is back up, but on a different domain name and server.

Both series are split 7/7 among predictors.

And Detroit/Ottawa have the early 1-0 leads so far.

I really think Ottawa is going to rock the Sabres. Could be a 4-0 series...

I certainly hope so. Or, you know, a 6 game series. :D

I certainly fucking hope not.

The Sabres need to get back on their A-game, where they were pretty much all season before the playoffs. Since the playoffs started, they slowed their pace and pretty much stopped doing all the things that got them this far. For the Islanders, this was OK, but it really showed to be problem with the Rangers.

They need to shoot more, play smarter, and for fuck's sake, shock the Senators at home these next two games. We can't fucking rely on Miller to do all of the work.

Sounds like a summary of the Penguins postseason to me.

Especially because he's an overrated, smug little motherfucker.

More like a summary of any team that gets crushed beneath the Ottawa scoring machine.

Wow I didn't realize the Penguins brought their A game all season. Merv makes good points everywhere, but just ignore them, its okay.

Anyway, I am not really worried yet at all. The team has overcome countless things over the past two years. If we don't win today, yeah they are probably finished, but still if there is any team that could come back it is this team.

We had Game 2, but the breaks just didn't go our way, mainly with the referees. However, that happened last series too, yet it evened out eventually.

In addition, please go more in-depth on this smug little motherfucker please.

WOW! Ottawa is rocking their way to the Stanley Cup Finals!

Sabres are in joke mode. Ottawa is playing great, but the sabres aren't even playing. They are of equal par with the Senators in terms of skill, but they are showing no effort to win at all. Only person who is, is Miller.

They have no confidence, they really haven't showed up at all in playoffs. They were good enough to beat the ny teams without trying though.

It doesn't count as "rocking" when the other team (for whatever reason,) isn't even showing up to play, 'tard.
