2010 NHL Playoffs

[goat]

Wings advance! 6-1 over phoenix.

That was a helluva game.

So the western conference now looks like this:

San Jose v Detroit
Chicago v Vancouver

And all eyes are now on the eastern conference to see if the Habs can pull off the upset of the season by beating the Caps in game 7.

[Metcarfre]

A San Jose that has WON a SERIES too!

You're screwed.

And if the Caps lose Ovey's getting shot. Just sayin'.

[Baconus]

I am proud of the way my Avalanche played. A young team with heart is always a good team to watch.

That said as a Canadian who has lived in BC for a year, lets go Chicago, let's beat these greasy Canucks

[Metcarfre]

Heeeeey... be nice to Wellwood!

You keep your head up Baconus! I'm a Habs fan living in Toronto. Wearing my jersey I get booed publically. I've had tomatoes thrown at me in Boston on a visit! You can prevail!

Incidentally... Go! Canucks (Don't Ban Me) Go!

[goat]

Holy shit they did it.

They actually fucking did it. Good work, Habs.

So... we now have

EAST
Pens v Habs
Flyers V Bs

West
Sharks v Wings
Hawks v Canucks

Let the semifinal predictions begin

[James]

My Second Round picks (As my first round were absolute SHIT!)

Pens in 6
Flyers in 5
Sharks in 7
Canucks in 5

[aeric90]

WOW! What a game! Montreal defense was just amazing. This series with the Pens is going to be great!

I hope the Habs can make Crosby look like this too.

[Metcarfre]

Pens in 6
Flyers in 6

Sharks in 5
Canucks in 7

[Rikadyn]

Wings in 6

Habs in 5
B's in 6

[jtaylor]

Flyers in 4

Pens in 6
Wings in 7
Hawks in 7

Oh man, the post game video with Ovie in the locker room is depressing as hell. You can tell just by listening to him that he is totally crushed.

Flyers in 5
I can't wait for this series, but the B's, even with Savard returning to the lineup just don't have what it takes to beat Boucher, that is if he is as good as he was in the last round.

Pens in 6
As great as Halak was in the first round, I don't think the pens will make the same mistakes as the caps. The Habs are tired after 7 games, but they'll still have a little momentum left.

Sharks in 6
As much as I'd like to see the wings win, we just played a 7 game series that ended tuesday, and our first game is tonight. We might give the sharks a run for their money, but I think the sharks will put it away.

Hawks in 7
This will be a close one either way. I think the winner of this game and the flyers are going to the final (provided boucher can hold it together). No further comments.

Pittsburgh in 5
Boston in 7
Vancouver in 6
Detroit in 6

Game 1 vs. Chicago tonight, 5 PM PST.

Go Canucks go!

[Metcarfre]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Wooooooooooooooooooo!

Go 'Nucks!

[Tim]

I'm all smiles.

[goat]

Holy crap 'nucks! Good on ya! Kinda wish I'd gotten to see that.

Oh well, Game 2 SJ/DET tonight! Go wings!

[Tim]

San Jose vs. Detroit is going to be a one-goal game tonight, 50% chance of overtime. That's my prediction.

[aeric90]

Can never count my Habs out. What a game. Was on the edge of me couch the whole time. And what a goal by Cammalleri!! Puck off the ice, kicked into the air, and batted into the net!

[Metcarfre]

Heard it was awesome. Sorry I missed.

Another series that I'm torn on, because I love The Kid... but come on! The Habs!

[goat]

Maybe it was just an unconscious reaction, but when I checked the score earlier I would've sworn that Pit was on top.

I'm torn on that series, too. I'm hoping for some freak double KO where they both get knocked out this round. Really, though, I'd rather see the Habs win this round, if for no other reason than I currently dislike Pitt more.

Who predicted a close, one-goal game between San Jose and Detroit?



...I did. For the record.

Who predicted a close, one-goal game between San Jose and Detroit?



...I did. For the record.

Whole series is going to be that way, and without splitting in SJ, I'm not liking Detroit's chances...
