Um no, this is not the official Pittsburgh Penguins thread. This is the Official Stanley Cup Playoff Thread. Open to ALL fans.

Don't be hijacking a thread just because your precious Penguins advanced.

Probably got moved here by a mod. The nerve.;)

Caps were awful. I finished cutting the grass last night and it was 2-0. Got outta the shower and it was 4-0. Turned on the DVR and watched Monday's ep of 24. Best story in DC.:mad:

I'm gonna have a word with WIldCowboy...

I turned it off after 4-0. Started to watch When We Left Earth - The NASA Missions. Clearly, the better choice last night.

2 Games 7's tonight and because the scheduling is oh-so-brilliant one is at 7 and the other is at 8.

Don't you mean that one is at 4 pm and the other is at 5 pm? :p

Geez, I wonder why hockey is such an afterthought in California?:rolleyes:


Let's Go Whalers- dun-dun-dundundun.

Surely that's what I meant :p If I were you I'd leave work early :D

Because Bettman hates you and he secretly hates the Southern Expansion?

I miss the Whale.

Oh, I'll be able to watch from around 4 pm until 5:45-ish. But then I have to go to class for 6:30 and hand in my take-home midterm exam.
Going back to school has really ruined my ability to watch the playoffs. :D

If there's a way to screw it up or do it the hard way, chances are you'll find Bettman.

At least you get a smidge of hockey in.

You could always get a sling box and watch it on your iPhone... ohhhhhhhhhhh.

There he was juts a walking down the street... :p
 
The Wings aren't playing sloppy tonight, and are now up by one ... good start, let's finish it.
 
^Yup. I'd be pissed too. It's a crappy way to be beaten.

That bad break makes up for the Pronger crosscheck in my book, although the Cleary goal was reviewed and stood.

'Hawks v Wings. Strap yourselves in, this is gonna be EPIC.

Hell yeah, Original 6 for the conference finals. I'm not going to get any schoolwork done until the Cup is won.

It does, in a way.

I get nothing done when the playoffs are on. I'm going for the 'Hawks in 7, though it's gonna be a hard fought series.
 
all i know or care about right now is that the 'canes won!!!! :D
what a great way too in OT, awesome, thanks hockey gods!!

I think it will come down to the Wings and the pens and the Wings winning. (again)
 
Here are my predictions from last round:

Carolina will win in 7 games.

Washington will win in 5 games.

Detroit and Anaheim is a toss-up, and it will go 7 games. Heads is Detroit, Tails is the Ducks.........and..... heads it is.

Vancouver will win in 6 games.

Well, 2 for 4 ain't bad, right? And the two that I got right I was dead on in the number of games.

My predictions for this round:

I think Carolina will beat Pittsburgh in 6 games.

I think Detroit will beat Chicago in 6 games (although I'd really like to see the Blackhawks make it to the Finals).


I almost yelled "YES!" in class last night when I saw the 'Canes win in OT. :D
 
I concur with Surely-if I could have it my way it would be a Chicago Carolina final-THAT would be a lot of fun to watch. But that is not likely-I think should Detroit advance, they will beat either team

well, as a Habs fan, I'm glad to see Boston out to keep another Cup-less streak alive :)

As a hockey fan, I think the last 3 series are going to rock.

It would be neat to see Chi-Pitts to bring back memories of when Chi was beating Pitts back in the early 90s and then mr. Mario (now Sid the kid) stepped up. Really, it would be neat to see the youth of Chicago vs the youth of Pitts.

That said, I think Detroit will win it all. Tons of team speed, solid D, solid goaltending and a good coach.

in the end, I only hope for one thing:

more game 7 OTs.

'tis nothing better in sports. nadda...zippo...zip....zilch....compares to OTs in hockey playoffs.
 
What's up with so many days between the quarters and the semis?

Shouldn't the Eastern Conference Final have started last night and the Western Conference Final today?

The Pens' game 7 winner was on the 13th and the 'Canes and Wings won on the 14th. It should be every other night, shouldn't it? (The 15th and the 16th).

I hate how the NHL drags out the playoffs until June.
 
I hope Scott Walker breaks both his legs in the next series. ****ing prick.
 
It seems the Bulin Wall has a few holes in it today ... 4-2 in the 3rd. Overall great game.
