Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
It's that time of the year, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of ... intense ice hockey action! First round games start tonight (currently watching the Pens lose to the Sens). Time for a poll for the Org favorite.
The Caps are favored by a mile, with a high scoring offense with plenty of depth. Which means they will lose to a grittier, more physical team in the second round.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
I might watch some of it for the first time. Really enjoyed the canada vs USA final. The stakes were a lot higher there though.
But I don't know who to root for
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
I'll root for the sabres. Mostly because I kinda feel bad for the city of Buffalo's sports teams. And because I know nothing of hockey.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
Gotta go with the Flyers, even though we're a soulless bunch of unlovable robots without a goalie this year. Despite this, I'll be totally on board the bandwagon again if we beat the Devils and (heaven forbid) He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named and the Penguins.

You guys have Chris *********** Pronger!Originally Posted by GeneralHankerchief
The biggest playoff beast in recent memory.
I want him to meet Ovechkin and absolutely wreck him, but yeah, I still think the Caps are gonna win.
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
My favourite is Detroit Red Wings, while we dont stand a chance this year. I bet Boston or Chicago will take the trophy.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
Yes, this is why we got Pronger, but unless Boucher recaptures his magic from 2000 it's going to be tough to do. The Flyers have baffled the Devils all year long (and again in Game 1) so I'm cautiously optimistic about this series, but considering our goalie body count this season I think Boosh needs to wrap himself in a bubble between starts so his leg doesn't get accidentally amputated or something.You guys have Chris *********** Pronger!

I'm with you on the Penguins. I'd love it if the Sens knocked the big whiner out in the first round.

I just want to see the absolute headhunting that will go on when and if the Pens and Caps meet up

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
I think I'll go for them too. Because that goalie from the olympic final plays for them, and because his nickname is "miller time".

Congrats to the Flyers.New Jersey needed to die anyway, for the sake of the league. Hopefully the Caps can finish off Montreal tonight, and get a few days rest.
I'll be curious to see how the Penguins handle their 3OT loss to Ottawa.

Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
Excuse me for sounding ignorant, I really only follow slightly local sports, but I saw that the B's are leading in their current playoff game. Perhaps others could enlighten as to their chances in the rest of the tournament! GO B's!
Silence is beautiful
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
It's funny, even though I am Canadian I have been a Washington Caps fan since the 80's.
When we were kids choosing up jerseys to play street hockey other kids had got there eariy and took all the popular jerseys and all that was left was Buffalo or Washington. For some reason I chose the caps one, and I have been a big fan from then on. I think I have the complete set of jerseys from the 70's right up until the mid 2000's. Some great players from that team in the past, Rod Langway, Al Iafrate, Sylvain Cote.
Yep, this could be the year...
Modern civilization is a vast conspiracy against silence
Re: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2009-2010
As long as Detroit [and the Canucks, to a lesser extent] fail painfully I will be reasonably content. The destruction of Chris Pronger would be a bonus.
it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
