I warned the Pens fans

Yumcha

Sure it does. You wish you had a goalie like that on the Leaves...and if you did, you'd promptly trade him away.





And don't you have Burke press conferences to listen in on...? That guy seems to be calling one every day these day to yack about what he "plans" to do in the off-season.

jupitersolo

They do have a goalie that can play, if the season was a little longer, more would be talking about Reimer.

He definitely deserves the Jack Adams for his work this year

Yumcha

Yeah...hopefully, they KEEP this one. I still can't believe they gave up Rask.

Leafs are close to being competitive...let's see what they do this summer.

Yumcha

Hart Trophy candidates are out: Daniella Sedin, St. Louis, and Perry...

dom

35 games, lets see next year.

Moog-Type-S

Leafs will get better....just in time for the season long lockout.

Yumcha

Poor dom.

....because it's never to early to start thinking about the future.

Losing graciously takes many years to perfect. 44 to be exact...

Exactly.

Poor guy comes in here to cheer for his team, has spelling touble and gets called an idiot by a sore loser. Not something we should put up with.

dom

Not another losing season!

Moog-Type-S

At least somewhere long long ago, you guys have your team name on Lord Stanley's Cup.

....can't say that for my team.

No cup here from 67-68 season to present.

The few, the infamous, the down-trodden:

Los Angeles Kings (1967-68)
The Kings have been to the Stanley Cup Final once, losing to the Canadiens in 1993.
St. Louis Blues (1967-68)
The Blues represented the Western Division (consisting exclusively of expansion teams) in the Stanley Cup Finals of 1968, 1969, and 1970.
Buffalo Sabres (1970-71)
The Sabres have been to the Stanley Cup Final twice, losing to the Flyers in 1975 and Stars in 1999.
Vancouver Canucks (1970-71)
The Canucks have been to the Stanley Cup Final twice, losing to the Islanders in 1982 and Rangers in 1994.
Washington Capitals (1974-75)
The Capitals have been to the Stanley Cup Final once, losing to the Red Wings in 1998.
San Jose Sharks (1991-92)
The Sharks have made two appearances in the Conference Final, but have never played in a Stanley Cup Final.
Florida Panthers (1993-94)
The Panthers have been to the Stanley Cup Final once, losing to the Avalanche in 1996.
Phoenix Coyotes (1996-97)
The Coyotes have never won a Stanley Cup Playoff round.
Nashville Predators (1998-99)
The Predators have won one Stanley Cup Playoff round.
Atlanta Thrashers (1999-2000)
The Thrashers have never won a Stanley Cup Playoff round.
Minnesota Wild (2000-01)
The Wild have made one appearance in the Conference Final, but have never played in a Stanley Cup Final.
Columbus Blue Jackets (2000-01)
The Blue Jackets have never won a Stanley Cup Playoff round.

Ruh-oh @ Capitals and Pink Things...


Ruh-oh!

It's great to see an actual goalie, hey...?















Your team better not take the Preds lightly. They are a dangerous team and nearly took out Chicago last season.

Rounder

LOL. If you're gonna talk smack at least spell the team names correctly.

dom

If anyone knows the location of Daniel and Henrik Sedin please notify Mike Gilles or the Vancouver Canucks immediately.

Yumcha

The GM will call a press conference.




:shakehead

And where's Kesler's offense...? Mind you, at the rate Nashville is playing the Canucks, I think most games are going to be very low-scoring.

Rounder

Rinne has been unbelievable, though.

Yumcha

Worthy Vezina candidate...Louuuu only wished he could be as clutch.



Whenever the going gets tough, that guy's eyes glaze over. Seriously, when did he become such a basketcase? He had such promise as a Panther and Islander.

Moog-Type-S

still bitter, eh?

Rounder

yea, obv. it's done with, though.

Yumcha

Be happy your Pens even made the playoffs...in hindsight, they had zero to no chance without Malkin and Crosby.




I mean, if you take the Sedins away from the Canucks, different story since they have no idea what playoff-production is with those two...BUT, with the Pens? Yeah, no way.

We definitely didn't have the offensive prowess to go far in the playoffs, what stings most is being up 3-1 and blowing the series, but TB figured us out and adjusted.

Yumcha

Hey, I was nice enough to not use the c-word.


I was VERY surprised they didn't close out T-Bay. I just didn't think they could get past the 2nd round...

Shift_Acura

We are used to seeing one of the top three goalies in the league. He even had more saves than Renne last game but hes gonna have to do alot more to make up for his collapse in the 2 Chicago games.

I still think the Canucks should win in 6 (if the Sedins can wake up!). The Pedaphiles have no offence....lets see how long they can ride their goalie

I watched the opening of the Boston/Philadelphia game in Philly. Because they sing God Bless America instead of the Star Spangled Banner, in lieu of the Osama bin Laden situation, I was thinking that God Bless America would be more United Center-like. I was under whelmed.....

Yumcha

Fixed.

Hey it was an accident i type so quick i didnt realize it. yes sirrrrrrr!

Oswald Vater

Singing GBA instead of the SSB is a long-honored Philly tradition especially during big games. It all started in 1974 with our first cup run. Kate Smith performed it in person on several occasions and continues to do so via taped recording. Lauren Hart (daughter of the late long-time iconic Flyers play-by-play man Gene Hart) adds the live touches in blending her own voice with Smith's. Nothing underwhelming about it if you know the tradition.

That being said, looks like we ALMOST have Boston where we want them although Thomas has been ridiculously-good in goal. I admit it's going to be tough to come back but then again that's what I thought last year.

Yumcha

Wow...Gretzky rookie card yields nearly $95,000!

Yea, I was thinking that it would be especially raucus, given the recent happenings...more like the SSB at Chicago Stadium/United Center. There seems to obviously be a lot of American patroitism again right now. I was thinking the Philly fans would standing and loudly applauding!

The Flyers definitely don't make it easy on themselves in the playoffs-that's for sure. Best of luck with the Boston series. I watched the game last night. It sure was exciting-sorry about the loss in overtime though....
