Title: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on April 20, 2006, 10:22:33 AM What are your first round picks?
Here are mine: EAST WEST So let it be written so let it be done. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 20, 2006, 01:37:52 PM EAST Ottawa(1) Vs Tampa Bay( 8 ) - Ottawa Carolina(2) Vs Montreal(7) - Carolina New Jersey(3) Vs New York(6) - New Jersey Buffalo(4) Vs Philadelphia(5) - Philadelphia WEST Detroit(1) Vs Edmonton( 8 ) - Detroit Dallas(2) Vs Colorado(7) - Colorado Calgary(3) Vs Anaheim(6) - Calagary Nashville(4) Vs San Jose(5) - San Jose Dallas will probably win the series versus Colorado, but I had to pick at least one different in the west from Scott's picks ;) Anaheim may have a shot at their series as well. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 26, 2006, 07:07:26 AM Chara :ownedsign: Lecavalier last night.
There was a big "scrum" becuase it was 8-4 and some Senator player went into the boards a little hard with a Tampa player. Everybody was ited up and Lecavalier was tied up with Chara. Just as a ref got between the 2 of them (and it didn't llok like anything was going to happen) Lecavalier threw a punch at Chara. :laugh: What the hell was Lecavalier thinking?? Zdeno Chara = 6' 9" 261pounds Vincent Lecavalier (while not small) = 6'4" 207 pounds Needless to say Chara got Lecavalier down on the ice fast. Chara sat over him with his fist cocked back like he was ready to kill a helpless animal. :P But I appluad Chara for not thrashing him. He just got up and skated away. Dont get me wrong, I like Lecavalier as a player, but he must have been hit in the head a bit hard to think he could take on such a giant.

Ken Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Mezmoron on April 26, 2006, 07:10:19 AM BTW
Go Sabers! Ken Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 26, 2006, 07:25:32 AM Quote BTW Go Sabers! Ken Only if they bring back the classic uniforms ;) Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on April 26, 2006, 07:26:36 AM Is it just me or is it a fucking joke that the NHL PLAYOFFS (best playoffs on the planet) are on OLN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still say they need to get rid of 8-10 teams. Hell go back to the original 6 and start over. I really want to watch hockey and I can't becasue I don't get OLN. What a joke. The NHL is no longer one of the "Big Four". NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, PGA, NASCAR are all bigger. What a joke. The stike did wonder for you NHL. Oh yeah fucking Wings. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Mezmoron on April 26, 2006, 07:42:53 AM Quote WNBA The day I see that, I will have lost faith in the human race. Ken Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 26, 2006, 07:58:44 AM I think ESPN will eventually get the NHL back on their network. Nobody wanted to touch that TV contract with a 10 foot pole during the lock out. I just recently realized I get OLN for free. I wish I had known sooner, because I would have watched more hockey this season. :-[
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on April 26, 2006, 08:00:42 AM I saw last year (well when they played so 2 years) the a WNBA game on one of the big 3 networks had a higher rating then a NHL game on one of the 3 networks.
ESPN hardly talks about the NHL. They do some know during the playoffs but during the regular season it has maybe 30 seconds of coverage on Sports Center. Then again ESPN is one of the worse things in sports but that is a different story.

Not unless it involves scandal ::) But then again, it is just the market we are in. (as far as radio coverage) I miss the CBC and Hockey Night in Canada. (from when I was a kid in the U.P. of Michigan) Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Mezmoron on April 26, 2006, 08:15:12 AM Unfortunately, hockey isn't where the money is.
Ken Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Mezmoron on April 26, 2006, 08:16:31 AM Sports talk radio, most of the time, spends 75% of it's time on the NFL, 7% on Baseball, 7% on Basketball, 5% on the rest of the sports, leaving 6% for dead air/jokes.

Ken That is so so true. There are some local guys on the sports station that love hockey. But when no one calls in to talk hockey it makes it hard to talk about.

I guess you have to talk about what the fans of your show are interested in otherwise you might not be on the air anymore :-/ Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: den68 on April 26, 2006, 12:48:02 PM damn Wings! I stayed up till after 2 in the friggin' morning to watch that game too.
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on April 26, 2006, 02:23:25 PM Mmmmm...wings, I'm going to Hooters. What's hockey?
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 26, 2006, 03:37:05 PM Quote damn Wings! I stayed up till after 2 in the friggin' morning to watch that game too. I went to play hockey last night and when we started, the Wings were down 3-1. I was suprised to hear it was in Double overtime when we finished our game. I kind of thought the Oilers would win >:( Hopefully the Wings will pull their heads out before they get eliminated :( Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: den68 on April 28, 2006, 06:23:03 AM Wings tied the series 2-2. horrible calls in the game. though the Wings got a gift on a non-call on Lidstroms goal.

I don't think that was a call worthy play. Lidstrom made an effort to get out of the way. Not much of one, but still, an effort none the less. I can't believe how badly the Mick was ragging on the refs last night. You know the officiating is bad when the announcers are bitching that much. Most vicious hit ever: Pronger on Cleary. I laughed for a good 10 minutes after that hit Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on April 28, 2006, 07:44:24 AM Good stuff last night!
Of course the Senators are starting to destroy Tampa. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: den68 on April 28, 2006, 07:49:25 AM Quote Most vicious hit ever:  Pronger on Cleary.  I laughed for a good 10 minutes after that hit bit of a size mismatch there. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on April 28, 2006, 08:20:44 AM YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! More playoffs I can't watch. I am pissed.
Yzerman retiring, NHL on OLN. This is the last year I will pay attention to hockey. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on May 01, 2006, 08:07:57 AM EAST
Ottawa(1) Vs Tampa Bay( 8 ) - Ottawa Carolina(2) Vs Montreal(7) - Carolina New Jersey(3) Vs New York(6) - New Jersey Buffalo(4) Vs Philadelphia(5) - Philadelphia WEST Detroit(1) Vs Edmonton( 8 ) - Detroit Dallas(2) Vs Colorado(7) - Colorado Calgary(3) Vs Anaheim(6) - Calagary Nashville(4) Vs San Jose(5) - San Jose 3 series right so far, but some other arent looking so hot. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on May 03, 2006, 06:59:21 AM If Calgary doesn't win tonight the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seeds in the west are gone. In the east the 1-4 seeds won.

And I will be right on all of the west except the damn Wings ;) Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: bum-man on May 06, 2006, 12:23:45 PM Buffalo - Ottawa second round opener last night was unreal. 13 goals, you didn't see that in the old NHL!!! I woke up this morning with my voice a little sore from screaming at the TV. Go Sabres!!!
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on May 06, 2006, 03:47:52 PM Little late but here I go. THis should be good since I did so well in the first round.
( 8 ) Edmonton Oilers vs. (5) San Jose Sharks - Edmonton Good god did the Devils get spanked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!! Whats with all the high scoring games? Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: captain_nintendo on June 06, 2006, 05:43:18 AM Carolina vs. Edmonton
I dont know if Edmonton can pull it off without Roloson in the net. He suffered a knee injury late in game 1. :( Bad mistake at the end of the game gave Carolina the game 1 victory. Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: bum-man on June 08, 2006, 06:08:15 PM Game 2 the Oilers forgot to even show up. I has hoping for and Edmonton victory but it''s not looking so good. Carolina doesn't deserve to be there, they don't even have the support of their own fans. Games 1 & 2 of the finals and you could walk up and buy tickets on the day of the game!! When the tickets went on sale for the here for the Sabres - Carolina series here they sold out in 12 mins.
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on June 08, 2006, 07:40:47 PM Deserve it or not they are going to win the Cup. I have yet to watch a playoff game this year. Fuck you NHL on OLN.

It wasn't a pretty playoffs, but they did it. Ken Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: Tynstar on June 19, 2006, 11:04:59 PM Nice to see a team that has never won it before get a title.
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs Post by: den68 on June 20, 2006, 11:31:19 AM I was pleased to see Carolina win too, though after missing a season for a labor dispute the NHL could have used a more high profile matchup for the final.
I doubt Carolina/Edmonton held much national interest. the NHL is doomed to be a niche sport.
