QUOTE(toph @ May 9 2012, 08:23 AM) The Pronger injury was pretty devastating for them. Not nearly as devastating as the Bryzgalov signing. No one will ever convince me that he's anything more than a slightly above average goalie. --------------------  |

Considering Pronger's age his contract is just as stupid IMO. He still has 5 more years on it, it's a 35 plus contract AND it has a no movement clause.

Bryz for Luongo straight up? Hehehe
 The thing that had me worried about Philly is an emotional let down and it seems that is exactly what happened. They went from the team that goaded the Pens into stupid stuff to becoming that team against New Jersey. There was so much talk both locally in PA and nationally about how epic a series it would be since what....mid February? I give New Jersey a LOT of credit here, namely, they almost literally turned the other cheek whenever the Flyers would do something stupid and/or dirty. They stopped it from becoming a Pens/Flyers sideshow and in doing so, obliterated the Flyers. I hate the Caps and Devils, but living here now, I just can't stand both PA teams and even moreso their fans. I could grudgingly tip my cap to the Caps if they win and probably the Devils too since they're a team that's been told by most that they're not a real threat. Kovi isn't a big time playoff player and doesn't care. Brodeur is too old. They have no one on defense. Their broke. Parise doesn't want to be there etc. etc. etc. All they've done is pretty much keep their mouths shut and follow their coach's lead which is calm, composed and completely devoid of drama. I may hate the Devils, but I at least respect all of that. -------------------- |

Anyone else notice the Devils doing some throwback schemes last night by deploying the trap? Should be a fun next series, regardless who they play.

To be fair I think it'll be more entertaining to the outside world than this series we have now. The only thing saving it has been some incredible late game dramatics. The Conference Semis as a whole have probably been a let down to a lot. Personally, I love rough stuff and hatred. It just went WAY overboard in the first round. In these last 4 series though? There's been little to no hate. The Ranger/Caps series has actually been one of the more respectful I have seen in a while. Very few "cheap" shots, virtually no fights, not even that many scrums. -------------------- |

That is because teams have settled into "smart playoff hockey." The teams that are left care most about winning, and doing cheap shots/start fights has the potential to energize the other team and give them momentum, not to mention it puts your team at a disadvantage by sending players to the box. -------------------- QUOTE(Dunc @ Dec 10 2008, 06:15 PM) It's Ned's fetish of choice.

You know, I realized how lucky the NHL has been with their last 3 Conference Finals.
Nearly every geographic region and major media market has been represented the past 3 seasons. 2010: Chicago/San Jose---Philly/Montreal 2011: Vancouver/San Jose----Boston/Tampa Bay 2012: Los Angeles/Phoenix---New Jersey/New York/Washington This post has been edited by jkman61494: May 9 2012, 12:55 PM -------------------- |

Alright the majority has lost in 3 out of 4 series. So odds are on our side, right?

QUOTE(Alitaki @ May 9 2012, 04:09 PM) Anyone else notice the Devils doing some throwback schemes last night by deploying the trap? Should be a fun next series, regardless who they play. I think they have always played a trapping game. Exception this year is they forecheck/pressure more instead of waiting you out in their side of the ice. They scored two goals (first 2 goals, especially Zilicky's) last night that are typical Debbies goals. That is, their d-man shoots the puck at the open man standing to side of net, instead of hitting the goalie in the team's logo. -------------------- "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedom, it will be because we destroyed ourselves"

Why are some of these athletes just so insanely stupid? They're on facebook. They use Twitter. Do they now know this kind of crap will go viral in about 3.7 seconds? What an absolute moron.
Chicago at this point would be wise to get rid of him as soon as possible before he does something really bad that will kill any trade value he has. I could definitely see this guy having some "Big Ben" issues with women. -------------------- |
