Oh, I expect them to get bounced in the first round, depending on who they play, either in 4 or 5. Maybe 6 at the outside. But I don't care. POST SEASON!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I really need a Sens av/sig combo, although the Nu is showing enough displeasure to fit tonights game.

To win 4 games against the Pens, you'd have to hope for about Sens in 48.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I completely forgot Hossa played for them :/

Yeah, you might want to reconsider. A team can deserve loyalty, but when they're utterly lacking in heart and are widely regarded as the laziest team in hockey? Might want to rethink that.

My desire to beat Capo in the standings demands I take Montreal in 5 games (on track), but the fan in me is all "We have a chance now. "

Also, yes. Fuck me, that game was great. God do I love Lucic.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That being said, I'm kicking your god damn ass this year. Don't play.

You and me. Right here. *points at your eyes then his eyes* This is where the fight is. This is the real thing. The rumble in the jungle. The Treason in the Second Season. This competition isn't big enough for the two of us (in the basement).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well of course Laraque vs Brashear would have nothing on this. That would be a shitty fight. Laraque throws one punch, Brashear cries.

This is like... Lucic vs Carcillo. At least it'll be fun until someone dies.

FELIPE NO

Well, I wouldn't say never. But doubtful this season. (Sens in 7, HOLLA!)

Only when he's taking slap shots on penalty shots. Other than that, the Wild are dulll. I mean, how do you have a team with Rolston and Gaborik and still be damned near intolerable to watch?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Montreal wins in 5.



WEEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOO

Neither am I, because I bet against the Rangers. Fuckers. Seriously, just can't support Jagr. Can't do it.

Also fuck Jagr too and his faggy looking soul patch. 2-0 in the series woooooo!

I would pay good money to see Georges punch Avery until he died.

At least the fans in Montreal cheered for them in the end, letting them know their appreciation of how far they went this season.

Yeah. Losing 7 games over two series to teams they swept in the regular season. Oh yeah. Great playoff showing. If I was a habs fan, I'd be fucking embarrassed. You literally pulled the best possible match ups you could have had, and you fucked it up. Pitiful.

Slap Shot on a breakaway = immediate Hart Trophy.

Georges Laraque. Point scoring man. I've been saying it for years. He's going to score 100 some year. Or have 100 assists. One of them.

It sucks that nothing can be done about either event now, I just have to hope the Penguins can get the job done.

Christ, you all sounds like Canadiens fans. "OH MY GOD. REFS OUT TO GET US!" No, sometimes they just blow calls. It's how it works. It's how it's always worked. It's called the human element; it exists. There is no grand scheme to keep anyone in/out, there is only blown calls and poor decisions. Let's all get over it and stop sounding like crazy people.

P.S.

Downie is a pussy. All hail Lucic.

Nighty night, Tarnsasky.

Wouldn't that only be symmetry if this was the LAST cup Pittsburgh ever won?

That said, I look forward to tomorrow night's game. If Dallas manages to pull a series win, I'll be amazed and look at the Red Wings in disappointment. Seriously, any team that manages to go 3-0 only to lose the next four games in a row deserves to take a walk of shame. On top of that, the Red Wings to NHL is like the Patriots to NFL...only, I don't hate the Red Wings and they're not evil assholes...or cheaters.

I like the way people are already talking like Detroit isn't a ridiculously dominant force that only needs to win once out of the next two games to go on to the Stanley Cup. The Wings aren't a ridiculously young and inexperienced team. They'll settle down and get the job done. Dallas is going to get buried I'd wager.

I wouldn't necessarily say fuck Versus, but I do prefer NBC more. They have a better announce team. It's good to see that they'll be covering the rest of the playoffs.

It's too bad we can't go back to the old days when we could hear the great National Hockey Night theme every week, but what they really need to bring back to hockey is where the puck was lighted blue and when it was shot, it turned red with a trail behind it. It might have been annoying to some, but it was freakin awesome to me.

Please stop watching hockey.
