in 2009 Playoffs
Email
PrintThis is a simple question, who's going to win tonight and by how much? The Bulin Wall vs. Roberto "OT Playoff Bathroom Visit" Luongo. The Swedish Cycling Sisters vs. Kane and Toews. Martin "Hated by Toronto" Havlat vs. Mats "Hated by Toronto" Sundin.
Discuss.

haha love how Chemmy just tells it like it is.
Sorry eyebeleaf. After this long a layoff Canucks are going to be flat for Game 1.

Damien Cox may be right for once...
…
There has been success at the world championship level and there was that 37-save overtime effort in the 2004 World Cup semifinal that rescued Canada when Martin Brodeur was out with a hand injury.
But no Olympic glory thus far. In the NHL, meanwhile, there’s no Vezina Trophy, no record of significant Stanley Cup playoff success. Luongo’s two greatest distinctions so far are that he required a bathroom break in the overtime session of a 2007 playoff game and that he served as captain of the Vancouver Canucks this season, the first NHL goalie to do so since Bill Durnan.
Otherwise, nice numbers, but not much more.
i think a lot of that has to do with the fact that he spent the first 6 years of his career in Long Island and Florida. No playoffs (!!!!!1), but he still put up incredible numbers, especially in 03/04 – .931 save percentage in 72 games.

Whether he has a Vezina is sort of irrelevant. There were a couple years in there where he definitley was the best goalie and deserved to win but it went to Brodeur anyway.

Please don’t encourage Eyebleaf with this type of stuff.

I don’t like it, but I think it’ll happen that way.

On the plus side I probably will be able to leave at 5pm today when the place clears out!

Hawks will win...
they’re young, and all amped up from beating Calgary.

The team with the best stashe wins.
That’s how I’m going to do the rest of my playoff predictions.

OK, so I have a conundrum...
… and I’m hoping you good people can help me solve it.
I understand and can even respect the hate many of you have for the Canucks. But I presently do not share that hate myself. And cheering for Chicago is out of the question… that would mean cheering for the same team as my annoying jackass of a brother-in-law.
So what’s a guy to do?

You’re not the only person wanting Chicago to lose. I’d just rather Vancouver lose first.

then the problem is either “fans don’t care until the finals” Detroit or “Stompy mc Stompy” Pronger and the Ducks.

Detroit…because the Ducks will send Stompy after him…and he will lose a limb…and Pronger will get an one game suspensio

I think I’m leaning towards Malkin and Crosby. Not the popular choice, but I’m not sold on the Capitals.

personally I want the Caps…but the Pens are rolling…and Fleury is standing on his mishapen head

Stompy it is for me, I’m afraid.
Cheering for the Wings is like cheering for the taxman… or for the house in the casino.
Cheering the underdog is always more fun.

understood…but they are the last two champs…I consider neither an underdog just because the ducks sucked most of the season

I don’t think I’m rooting for either team because neither of them is good enough to beat the Wings if the Ducks can’t get the job done.
An ounce of confidence can carry you a mile toward winning. Oh, and Red Wings suck.
Detroit is beatable. Just get to Osgoode, then it doesn’t matter how good your defense is.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing an Osgood meltdown.

I dont’ want Detroit to be beatable this round.

There’s a game thread up now. It hid itself because it’s ashamed to contain the word Vancouver.
