At the flames game 6 one of the "fans" in row 6 took off his jersy and tossed it on the ice once it became apparent the flames were cooked. I hate bandwagon jumpers. I have been a devils fan since they missed the lemeux lotto by a couple of games.

Hey Ron! That's some food for thought!! Here's my opinion...
I think the teams with experience know how to handle the longer series
that can come along. Poss. 7 gms each roound! I don't think it would taint the Cup
if a lower seeded team wins, I notice each year that you hear a lot of the same names
that have won cups before are now on teams in the hunt this year. As with NFL this past
year ( Cardinals ??) I think teams can get hot but the longer series shows the truly better
team. "IMO" I agree the Wings are the best on paper in the west but they have to play the
games!! Look at Pitt vs. Caps ?? Pitt had the experience and took that game away in 1 period.
Just my opin and I too am enjojing these playoffs!!
later...

The reason I ask is that I think Detroit is the best team in the West still in the playoffs, if they lose to the Ducks, will that 'cheapen' the series with the Hawks?? I think the answer is more easily answered in some of the other sports (ie MLB has only a 5 game opening series to start the first round and the NFL games are all one and done, so whichever team is 'hot' on that day may not necessarily be the best team)...does the same logic apply here in the NHL?? |

THE 1979 TO 1985 ISLANDERS ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAMS IN HOCKEY HISTORY ( FOR A 5-6 YEAR RUN - 19 CONSECUTIVE PLAYOFF ROUNDS WON.NO TEAM IN ANY SPORT HAS DONE THAT.) ALONG WITH MONTREAL AND EDMONTON.
FROM 1990 TO WANG ISLANDERS HAD OWNERSHIP WITH ONE THING IN MIND. BUILD A NEW COLESUIM AND SELL THE TEAM. BETTMAN HELPED FUCK THAT UP.
SINCE WANG PURCHASED THE TEAM I LOVE THE DIRECION THEY ARE HEADED AND EXPECT THEM TO BE A MUCH BETTER TEAM IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
WHAT WANG SAID WAS OUT OF FRUSTRATION. THE ISLANDERS DO NEED A NEW COLESIUM AND HE CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER.

YEAH PLAYOFFS HAVE BEEN A LOT OF FUN SO FAR. HAWKS HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WATCH. I FIND MYSELF PULLING FOR THEM. BUT I HATE TO SEE THE LAST CANADIAN TEAM KNOCKED OUT. BUT I'M STILL LEANING TOWARDS THE HAWKS.
GOOD HARD HITTING GAME TONIGHT BETWEEN BOSTON AND CAROLINA.
I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING ANY OF THE REMAINING TEAMS WIN WITH THE EXECPT DETROIT. THEY HAVE WON TOO MANY TIMES IN THE RECENT PAST.

Hi Soy , sorry about your Habs...
Go Hawks Go...this has turned into an unusually wonderful spring here...first that wonderful 7 game series between the Bulls and Celts and of course, the on-going Blackhawks...where they get the energy to continually come from behind in so many games is beyond me...even cats only have 9 lives...until the playoffs are over, I'm not paying any attention to Bettemen (?) or any other corporate 'thug' ...I want to focus on the great playoff hockey I see all across the board...so much for SJ and the Presidents Cup... |
