I am such a loser.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

A Red Wings win tomorrow will bump you out of last place.

The series starts on Saturday. What a joke.

Saturday? Wow. I thought it would start on Wednesday. Isn't that what they did last season?

Saturday? Wow. I thought it would start on Wednesday. Isn't that what they did last season?

??

But the format will be Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and repeat.

They could've gone Thur, Sat, Mon, Wed, Sat, Mon, Wed. They would be done June 4 at the latest, May 29 at the earliest.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I must have thought that they played two consecutive nights, then a day off, two consecutive nights again and then a day of in between games 5, 6 and 7. I also thought they started the finals on a WED night.

GO WINGS!!

Wings in Six, hopefully.

 

[kane9321]

go wings...bye you dallas scumbags. Cant wait to see crosby get plastered

 

[Franklin Richards]

So my Stars lost. I've showed up to take my licks.

I was proud of Turco <until the end>. He played his guts out.


Go Penguins. Go Underdogs!

 

[Immortalfire]

Go Penguins!

I agree. Turco played very well this post-season. The rest of the team let him down last night. Should be an interesting finals.

 

[Immortalfire]

Two of the premiere hockey cities, going at for Lord Stanley's Cup.

This should be quite a show

 

[Themanofbat]

When are the picks due?

 

[Shifty]

When are the picks due?

Saturday 8PM EST I believe.

Good luck to Showtime, NewYorkSpider and QueerMike!
Perhaps you should PM each other for a strategy to take down TMOB.

[War Party]

I hate both teams. But if I had to pick one team to win, it would be Detroit. There will never be a day that I want the Pens to win. Hated that team since day one I discovered hockey and the Flyers.

 

[Themanofbat]

It's funny... when I was picking the first three rounds, I had a good feeling with all the series, but now that we have the Finals, I'm at a loss...
