2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Shifty]

Some kinda cheap calls against the Wings, I must say. I mean, that Schneider interference was kinda lame.

These playoffs have shown that NBA refs are better than NHL ones.

 

[Fran]

No wonder the Flames have the most home wins this year.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Damn, game four of the Bolts/Devils series is freakin' awesome. Looked like everything was going Jersey's way until the Lightning came back to tie it at three with the third coming up.

C'mon Bolts, don't let me down.

 

[Fran]

Bolts lose, Rangers win series.

 

[Shifty]

Bolts lose, Rangers win series.

So I guess we should ask Don Waddell if those trades were worth it. The trades helped them win the division but they did not produce like the previous Southwest Division Champions.

Rangers will probably face the Sabres.

 

[Immortalfire]

Damn

A few weeks back, if you had told me Atlanta would win the divison, then get swept by the Rangers in the first round, I'd have said you were nuts. Ah well, great season, great team, and division champs. Not everyone can say that.

The sun will rise tomorrow, and October will be here soon enough.

Forever

 

[Fran]

Good man, 'fire.

 

[Immortalfire]

I have some good news too, got my ticket to Spider-Man 3 midnight release!

 

[Fran]

Me too!

I got two tickets. Need someone to go with.

 

[Immortalfire]

Good luck to your Red Wings, btw.

 

[Fran]

Thanks, dude. I have a feeling we're going back to the Joe up 3-1.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I wish my Flyers were in the playoffs.

Everyone's a critic...

As good as it makes me feel to see my team energized by the home crowd, it's depressing to know that they can't generate that same intensity on the road. Definitely looking forward to tomorrow night

I haven't really seen any Flames/Red Wings games - if you've watched the Sens/Pens series you'll see each night the refs are using a different rule book. Not a critic, if there is video evidence or just watching the game on the non-calls and stupid calls they've made.

You don't get CBC in Michigan? I think the Wings/Flames are featured on NBC Sports too, but that may just have been on the weekend.

 

[Shifty]

That's just the weekend, but I know some people in Detroit are able to pickup the Wings. And I guess you don't have Versus either.

Yeah, NBC only does the weekend playoff games.

And the only people that get CBC are RIGHT near Canada, in the Detroit area.

I don't get Versus with my current Dish package.

CBC does have the Flames/Red Wings game on their website.http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/stanleycup2007/streams/

But in Canada, all you need is the bare minimum tv package to get CBC and TSN and you're set for every playoff game. Hell just some rabbit ears for free will get you CBC.

Should the Lightning win, Ottawa draws the Rangers. A Devils win sets up an Ottawa-New Jersey series. Should the Islanders come back and beat Buffalo and Tampa beats New Jersey, then it's Sens-Isles in the second round.

Go Isles!

 

[Fran]

Jesus, can the Flames score on even-strength? Do they need the refs to bail them out in game four once again?

Not watching, but don't act like Detroit has never had improper treatment from the refs.

At least I'm not like Halcohol, "Oh, everyone is out to get Calgary. Everyone but me is a critic. "

 

[Immortalfire]

The sports media probably gasped WHAT?!, and is going to try to act like they haven't been kissing the Penguins' butts all season long, lol.

 

[Fran]

Come on, the refs are making ticky-tack calls against the Wings. I mean, we slash a player by just barely tapping his jersey with the stick, and the guy is unhurt/untouched/nothing.

Edit - Oh my God. Iginla hooks Chelios onto the ground and Iginla is like "omg that was so not hooking lol."
