2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Fran]

I don't have Versus, which pisses me off. So I have to rely on ESPN.com's Insider RealTime scoreboard.

But I just saw highlights of the game. Great Zetterberg goal, and the 2-1 goal was just weird. Great obstruction by Holmstrom on Giguere, he had no idea the puck was bouncing in.

I saw Andy MacDonald's shot on Hasek (he was on top of him, stretched his arm out to hit him twice on the mask). Kinda lame, but I'm sure it will be a great series.

GO WINGS!

May 3 - Anaheim 2, Vancouver 1, 2OT; Scott Niedermayer, 4:30.

May 2 - Detroit 3, San Jose 2, OT; Mathieu Schneider, 16:04.

May 1 - Anaheim 3, Vancouver 2, OT; Travis Moen, 2:07.

April 29 - N.Y. Rangers 2, Buffalo 1, 2OT; Michal Rozsival, 16:43.

April 28 - New Jersey 3, Ottawa 2, 2OT; Jamie Langenbrunner, 1:55.

April 27 - Vancouver 2, Anaheim 1, 2OT; Jeff Cowan, 7:49.

April 22 - Detroit 2, Calgary 1, 2OT; Johan Franzen, 4:23.

April 19 - Dallas, 1, Vancouver 0, OT; Brendan Morrow, 6:22.

April 18 - New Jersey 4, Tampa Bay 3, OT; Scott Gomez, 12:54.

April 11 - Vancouver 5, Dallas 4, 4OT; Henrik Sedin, 18:06.

April 11 - San Jose 5, Nashville 4, 2OT; Patrick Rissmiller, 8:14.

Stomach hasn't felt like that in awhile. Caught the 3rd period, and the OTs of the Ottawa game. Who knows what happens now, Ottawa has never been up 2-0. They can still lose the series, but I don't think anybody thought a sweep would be possible.

My lord, where has Buffalo disappeared to? Down 0-3 to Ottawa

Good question. Miller is still hanging around, did the pressure get to Buffalo? Anyway, time to get the broom out!

Sabres
They've played like absolute crap on the powerplay since basically the Islanders series

 

[Fran]

Wow, Wings just flat-out DOMINATE the Ducks.

Best game of the playoffs so far

bury these goons fran....bury them

 

[Fran]

Oh s***, I forgot.

How in the HELL did the refs not call a penalty on Niedermayer and Pronger for their hit on Holmstrom? HOW?

I mean, the dude bled and had to be carried off the ice. But he did come back, though.

To me, considering they have been playing well since he returned, and that he got two goals that night before the hit... that gives me a feeling like the Ducks are going to resort to being goons to take our players out, instead of actually scoring on us.

The moral of my story: Pronger deserves to take Game 4 off.

 

[Shifty]

The National Hockey League has scheduled a disciplinary hearing for later today with Anaheim Ducks defenceman Chris Pronger.

The fact that a hearing will be held does not guarantee a suspension will be handed out, but it does officially open up that possibility.

Pronger faces the hearing after Detroit forward Tomas Holmstrom was drilled into the boards Tuesday night in the Red Wings' 5-0 victory in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final. Holmstrom was cut after getting hit into the glass by Pronger and Anaheim forward Rob Niedermayer on the play in question.

Niedermayer received a five minute boarding penalty and a game misconduct, but replays showed that that Pronger hit Holmstrom from behind with a high elbow to the head.

That will make people in Edmonton and Detroit happy.

i hate pronger..i hate that big goof more than anything...he gets away with to much

 

[Immortalfire]

Buffalo wins, 3-2. They ain't safe yet, though.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I don't want Detroit to win the Stanley Cup. If Buffalo can't come back and win then I would love to see Anaheim win it.

Hopefully my Flyers can get back to Playoff contention next year.

 

[Fran]

It's been 3 straight West coast teams in the Cup Finals.

I think it's time for something new!

 

[Immortalfire]

It's been 3 straight West coast teams in the Cup Finals.

Well of course, a west team is always in the finals.

Did you mean, three straight east teams have won it? t:

 

[Fran]

I mean... 3 straight Western Conference champions that are on the West Coast.

And yes, by default, that statement too.

Pronger got 1 game. Red Wings can get a strangle hold with a win tomorrow. And CBC Sports will stream the game on their website for those who can't get Versus.

Stupid mistakes cost the Sens the sweep. They came back and Buffalo became lazy; so its not over but it took 5 games for the Penguins and Devils, it will take 5 for the Sabres.

Yeah just heard that big freak only got one game..thats it. Bastard was head hunting

 

[Shifty]

Its a unwritten rule that playoff games count as two regular season games.

 

[Fran]

Well, we lost tonight, 5-3. Ducks responded well with the loss of Pronger.

I look forward to Game 5... we should do well at the Joe, as usual.

 

[Immortalfire]

I'll be damned, Ottawa just knocked out the Sabres.

 

[Shifty]

I'll be damned, Ottawa just knocked out the Sabres.

Revenge is sweet!

Wow. All 5 games should've been like that but Buffalo didn't show up to play for half of this series. Scott Arniel leaves Buffalo to coach the Manitoba Moose and their power play goes down the ****ter. Alfie scored the goal of his career. Three men on him, silences the crowd inside and out.

4 more, the hardest to win.

Go Ducks! Go Wings! Go to seven games!

 

[Fran]

Getting a lot of rest isn't necessarily the best thing for a team, slinger.

But anyways, congratulations on making your first Cup Final!

I feel confident for tomorrow's game... the Ducks fans on tons of forums are saying, "Pronger is back, we won without him, Wings are done."

Complete bull****. I'll believe that if/when I see "ANA wins series, 4-3/2."

I actually feel better when Pronger is around... weird, huh?

Congrats slinger, and I hope to see you there, my friend.

And if we play each other, join this forum: www.letsgowings.com Great place, very classy Wings fans. The Calgary and SJ fans were treated great there, we were jokin around the whole time.
