Rangers in six. Washington is not very good.

Flyers in five. Worse than Washington are the Devils. Florida scored on nearly every scoring chance they had.

I say 5. Washington doesnt have the heart to fight like Ottawa just did. They ran into the shot out Bruins who played dog fight hockey into June '11 and started off season workouts about 35 days later.

Could give a fuck less what happens in the other series. I say both West go 7.

I Like: 3rd line players




LA in 7 - they're offensively challenged, but they remind me of the Rangers in that they can score in the most frantic of circumstances. Dustin Brown is Callahan West.

Nashville in 6 - They're for real.

Rangers in 7 - the caps aren't that great this year (and I'm still not sold on Hunter's philosophy with that roster) but, like in the Sens series, watch the Rangers fuck shit up and need more games than they should.

Flyers in 5 - Giroux's on fire and Brodeur is old. The only thing giving Kovalupchuk and co. a chance is the fact that Bryzgalov's mediocrity is humaanguuuz big.

Blues in 6 - too good defensively and will score just enough on Quick
Preds in 5 - scary good these Nashvillians
Rangers in 6 - we'll wear them down and shell Holtby
Flyers in 6 - Marty will be good and Bryz will be typical Bryz to keep it close but in the end Philly moves on

Now that the Devils got past round 1, which has been quite hard for them lately, I do fear Marty might find some fountain of youth and realize this is likely his last chance at glory.

Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg. It was built in 1912 and rebuilt in 1934, and offers, as do most Boston artifacts, a compromise between Man's Euclidean determinations and Nature's beguiling irregularities. - John Updike

All appeared to be shit goals. Preds outplayed the Yotes. Just find a solution to beat these guys. For f's sakes. Even the Hawks outplayed them. Outplay them is great, but means squatto if it does not turn into a win.

It's just the Coyotes have been one of the biggest joke-franchises since they came into the NHL and they have such a small fanbase that the NHL had to do a buyout to keep the organization from going bankrupt. It is the prime example of a failed expansion team-- nobody in the desert gives a shit about ice hockey.

For a team like that to win the Holy Grail of the sport is, to me, embarrassing to every team in the League and the League itself.

First off its not an expansion team, they used to be the Winnipeg Jets. Second, if they're a good team and play well they deserve to go as far as they can in spite of their shitty location. I think it's a great "fuck you" to the league, the city of Pheonix and all the naysayers. As long as it doesn't come at the expense of the Rangers.

I'm for anybody new winning and Cinderella stories don't hurt. Cup hogs Detroit and Montreal are nowhere to be found, pens and bruins done like dinner... I'm liking the chances that a new fanbase will be exhilarated by a Cup win. This can't all bad, can it?

It's just the Coyotes have been one of the biggest joke-franchises since they came into the NHL and they have such a small fanbase that the NHL had to do a buyout to keep the organization from going bankrupt. It is the prime example of a failed expansion team-- nobody in the desert gives a shit about ice hockey.

For a team like that to win the Holy Grail of the sport is, to me, embarrassing to every team in the League and the League itself.


First off its not an expansion team, they used to be the Winnipeg Jets. Second, if they're a good team and play well they deserve to go as far as they can in spite of their shitty location. I think it's a great "fuck you" to the league, the city of Pheonix and all the naysayers. As long as it doesn't come at the expense of the Rangers.


Yeah but who is the joke going to be on? A team that wins a Cup that STILL won't get an owner? A team that wins a Cup but has to hang the banner....in a different city?

I don't know why the Phoenix franchise would say "FU" to the league anyway or why the fans would feel that way. The 1,019 'Yotes fans have the league to thank for the team even being in Arizona still.

If the Rangers don't win, I really hope it's Nashville or St. Louis.

Both have pretty awesome fan bases. For being a southern city, watching a Preds home game has a "northern" feel. The fans are always in it, and they've also stuck with the team even in the lean years.

The Blues meanwhile have had the fans stick through this rebuild with amazing devotion. I remember last year the fans gave the team a heroes farewell at their home finale. Both of those fan bases deserve something.

The problem with the Coyotes is the location of the arena. This has been discussed many times. Have the Coyotes had empty playoff seats like the Devils? Not to my knowledge. The team would be fine if they were actually IN Pheonix and closer to their fanbase.

To answer your question though the joke is on the NHL and Pheonix winning the Cup will accentuate the stupidity that exists in the league management.

Bryz terrible as usual.

Flyers look very bad. Slow, disinterested, lots of giveaways.

Sometimes finishing off early can hurt you.

It'd be pretty epic if we got to the Finals off the Devils again.

Can't really blame all this on Bryz considering 90% of the game has been spent in his end.
