NHL Playoffs

“An interesting first night. Who would've believed the Isles would shut out the Sens and that Edmonton would edge Dallas on the same night?

Crazy Mike - I've got to give it up to your Blackhawks. They gave the Wings fits all year and then refused to roll over and let the Wings take #1 in the West. Blackhawk pride. We've still got Chelios, though.

Cup Finals - Detroit vs. Ottawa. Detroit in six.”

“NHL sucks. Ohio State Football rules.”

“Such a pithy statement serves to illustrate precisely why professional hockey should not be played South of the Mason-Dixon line.”

“Three cheers for the underdogs...

And Toronto beat the Phillies too.”

“Ummmmm, not the Phillies stanlee, the Flyers. The Phillies crushed Atlanta.

In the spring in Philly we apply the Heimlich, but it never helps.”

“Hi Max!

GO WINGS!”

“Red Wings in six, but over the Devils”

“Wings.

Ohio State has sports teams?
Huh, whodathunk. LOL.”

“I guess Gordie Howe has his elbows ready for the playoffs.”

“Thank you Max but there is no way in hell that Ottawa is going to even get that far!

GO STARS!!!!

“Hi Smiley. How ya been?
Tough loss tonight for the boys. Anaheim's goaler played the game of his life (63 saves, well over 26 of those in overtime).
Nice to see Minnesota whup the Colorado Nordiques.
New Jersey is the only team to hold serve.
I love hockey.”

“HOCKEY: There is NO substitute.

Will miss the begining of the playoffs while in the Grand Canyon.
Looking forward to a great Playoff season.
Pulling for the Sens. Any team that plays and can't get paid and still WINS!!, deserves to get The Cup!!!”

“Maybe the Canucks will show up for game 2”

“Max-

Funny how the 'canes were in the finals last year. They lost, but it proved they were better than all but one team in the NHL.”

“Tonight, Game 2, Flutters vs. Wilted Leafs”

“Why do they call them the Leafs. Should be Leaves!”

“Good thought, Geo. You pluralize a name that way, though”

“Skiracer - Carolina the second best team last year? Come on, do you really think they would have had a chance against any of the other heavy hitters in the West?”

“With that, the prospect for the Flutters is to avoid choking to death in the East long enough to get clobbered to death by the West. Maybe choking is the more merciful fate.”

“Max you are you going to have to re-evaluate your initial prediction!”

“Ouch”

“Nope. The Wings will win this series. You heard it here first. Ottawa pulled through this afternoon, as well.”

“I like my crow well, with a wee bit of mint jelly on the side.”

“Strange thing. Hopefully Scotty comes back. And Hasek.”

“The Flutters got the Heimlich in the third overtime, so the series is squared.

I seem to remember having fingernails. I don't know why I would think that, but the memory persists!”

“I was wondering if people would blame the lack of Scotty for the debacle!?”

“Well, with talent like the Wings have, a team shouldn't lose in the first round. This sort of thing didn't happen when Scotty was coach.”

“Time to reactivate Gordie. Brang it on!”

“Not to mention Terry Sawchuck between the pipes.”

“I bow my head in shame.

May the Mighty Wings rest in peace.”

“I am happy!

8)”

“Hmmm, losing is bad enough, but to the Mighty Ducks?”

“AND in four straight.”

“It coulda been worse, it could have been the blackhawks.”

“If the Hawks had made it into the playoff and the Wings had beaten the Mighty Ducks. The cruel hockey fates!

I'm still trying to figure out how the Flutters expect to win anything if they're having trouble with the Maple Leaves!”

“I am all smiles!!!!!


8))))”

“Gloat Goat!”

“Go Stars!!!!!


8)


Go Lighting!!!!

Go Ducks!!!!”

“I want all the underdogs to win!!!”

“Yeah, go Lightning!!!”

“It hurts my heart...but yeah go lightning.”

“Lightning win 2-1 over the scummy caps!!!”

“Tampa wins the series today in the 3rd OT! On to the Devils. Caps again gone in the first round!!!”

“SWEET!!! Lightning kickin' a$$!!! Time to make Christians out of them Devils...”

“Martin St. Louis has had the game winning goal in the last 3 games. The series with the Devils starts Thursday!”

“I kow I was watching the game great goal and series!


But in my heart I want the Stars too win it all.

8)”

“That St. Louis guy is awesome! Talk about a spark plug...”

“He is a very good player he has never gotten the play that he deserves!

8)”

“Tonights games!!!!!


Place your bets!!!!!


8)”

“I don't know that much about the other teams to form a worthwhile opinion, but I'll be watching at least some of the games tonight and in the days to come. I can't wait until my Lightning take the ice and beat the living crap out of those stupid Devils! :-)”
