Themanofbat is obviously cheating.

 

[Shifty]

Themanofbat is obviously cheating.

Ah, he's due for a win sooner or later.

Dallas has what it takes to win 3 straight but of course its going to be incredibly tough.

 

[Themanofbat]

Themanofbat is obviously cheating.

It's because I live in AST (that's Atlantic Standard Time), so I'm ONE HOUR ahead of all you guys on the Eastern Seaboard, which means I live in the future, and I get to.... err, ahhh...

I'm rambling.

Ah, he's due for a win sooner or later.

Yeah... even as far back in 2001 when I lost Original Hype Survivor II to you...

I would say I'm due to win something...

Philly stays alive

 

[TLH]

Good for Dallas and Philly (they're the two I want to advance, although it's extremely unlikely). Anyway, maybe they'll be able to each force a game 6 but not much more.

 

[Shifty]

Me...

And me. t: Glorious days.

But didn't you win the 4th one?
But I was referring to hockey related winning since I've built up a dynasty in fantasy hockey.

Good news for the Flyers. Coburn more than likely will come back Sunday and:

Timonen to Skate on Friday
All-star defenseman gets good news from doctor

(Philadelphia, PA) – Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen, who has missed the last four games against Pittsburgh with a blood clot in his left foot, could return on Sunday when the Flyers and Penguins play Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Mellon Arena (3:00 p.m., NBC).

Timonen explained his situation following the Flyers’ 4-2 win on Thursday night.

“I’m going to skate tomorrow. I met [Dr. Ronald Fairman] today and we took another ultrasound. Based on that, the doctor said I have a green light to give it a try. That’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to skate [Friday] and see how it feels.

“The doctor feels that there is no chance the clot is going to get loose or break up or anything like that. It’s a great sign. A week ago they were afraid it was going to get bigger and cut loose. I’ve been on blood thinners now for eight days and we’ll see how it goes.”

Timonen, who said he is in no pain, will skate on his own as the team will most likely have the day off from practice.

“If I feel tomorrow that I’m good to go for Sunday, then I’m good for Sunday,” he said. “There is nothing to prevent me from playing. I may have numbness in my toes, but if I can deal with that then I can play.

“I just want to make sure I can help the team and not hurt them.”

In 12 games in the playoffs, Timonen has six assists and a +5 rating.

Looks like the Penguins are really whooping the Flyers.

Yeah... I was in 2nd place in the second AND third one before finally getting one...

I've won a few Hype Games over the years, but you have been kicking ass in the hockey related stuff.

It would have been interesting this year if Khabibulin hadn't played that 3rd period...

 

[Franklin Richards]

Wow. Felt like Football season. Go out partying the night before and having to get up at noon for a game.


I'm hungover but I'm rooting for my Stars.


2-1 Stars right now.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Stars live another day.


Turco got an assist today.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Dallas isn't going quietly.


Game 5 of the ECF is on. Lets hope the Flyers can take this in Pittsburgh and bring it back home for a game 6.

There's a power play for Pittsburgh and a goal. We need to stop that ****.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Wow! Penguins scored quick!

EDIT- Aw crap it's being reviewed.

It's a goal.

 

[Shifty]

Shame American hockey fans are missing out on the Gold Medal IIHF World Championship Game. Canada/Russia tied 4-4 going into Overtime!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Congrats to the Penguins.

Can't say this was a dissappointing season. Worst team in the league to the ECF. I'm very excited for next year.

 

[a cupcake mess]

Well the NHL and the refs got their way.

What really irks me is how the Flyers gave up after the 1st period.

 

[Shifty]

Go TBA Western Conference Champion!

CBC is creaming their pants with Crosby in the Finals.

 

[War Party]

That was an embarrassing lost by the Flyers. They seem to have a knack for getting blown out in series clinching games. Regardless of the lost, it was a great season for the orange and black. I never expected them to get as far as they did and it was a great ride. The future looks bright for this team.

 

[Immortalfire]

Yay Penguins!

 

[Poeman]

dallas please come back!
