No one can stop them. I can't wait for Pitt vs. Wings finals.

[mathdotcom]

they will crush the penguins

the gap is too huge, and pens will not know what hit them after they polish off Habs/Flyers in 5

Why was Chelios scratched? Was that you on the bench?

Why was Chelios scratched? Was that you on the bench?

I am posting from a-top the pepsi center. Chelios is a scratch because of his knee again. He effed it up back in Chicago at the end of the regular season, it was tweaked last game. Just a precaution is all.

Phew

Best D-man in the league

You are in Denver? Bad luck follows all guys that phuck Hilton [Jose Theodore]

6-1 unreal.

Scary good.

[mathdotcom]

mtl is a shit team. philly struggled/struggling vs them.

Doesn't matter who represents the East, Detroit/Dallas will eat them alive. I took Detroit/Dallas from the start. Sharks choke every phucking year. Crosby is a little turdface, look at his peach fuzz beard. Have no clue how people compare him to Ovechkin

[MJFtheGenius]

looks like all 4 teams from detroit could win a championship this year

Tigers, Pistons and red Wings all look like locks

Lions need some help

wow, you guys are really jumping here.. this is hilarious... first of all, pit has not won the series yet.. secondly, why you guys eliminating the fact that philly is so pumped right now, and are playing some great hockey and they can easily beat PIT.. if PIT wins vs NYR (not over yet) philly just beat the best team in NHL the last 3 months in washington, and the best team in the east in mtl.. also, what makes you so sure DET will beat DAL.. DAL is playing some great hockey now.. still a very very long way to go before DET VS PIT..

this is the NHL playoffs. not NBA.. tons of upsets.. regular season means squat.. anything can happen.

I don't think the Flyers can skate with the Penguins. The Flyers forwards are alright, but their defense is big and slow. The Penguins could easily exploit this. Biron is mediocre, and will not continue to play this well. Lets no overrate Washington, they won a horrible division, and it was their first time in the playoffs as a team. The Red Wings and the Penguins are probably the best skating teams left in the playoffs. And speed/skill combination is what wins.

7-1

17 minute mark of 2nd period.

[element1286]

biron mediocre???.. have you been watching the habs/flyers series?? i've seen every sec of that series and the reason why the flyers are up 3-1 is because biron has been doing a great bernie parent imitation. in fact, they are comparing him to parent. this guy has been stellar between the pipes.

and the flyers are a big tough strong checking team. they can play tight with the pens and keep the games close. who knows what can happen. don't ever count the flyers out. they can surprise alot of people.. not predicting they'll win, but you just never know in NHL playoffs.

I'm not saying he is playing mediocre right now, but he is not a top 10 goaltender in the league, and is in fact mediocre.

I'm not saying he is playing mediocre right now, but he is not a top 10 goaltender in the league, and is in fact mediocre.

He has been lucky thus far. Washington and Montreal are sub par teams. Wait till he sees Pitt.

[element1286]

Fleury has a pedigree, he is a number one pick, and has the ability to elevate his game higher than Biron does. Biron is mediocre, mediocre goaltenders don't win Stanley Cups. The Caps were hot, but they won a bad division, and it was their first time in the playoffs as a team. Mtl is quick, skilled but they are not tough at all. I think the Flyer's game, i.e. intimidation, physical play gets to teams that do not play them very often. I don't think their play would get to the Penguins. I think the Flyer's big slow defense men, ie Jason Smith, Hatcher, Coburn, Jones would have a problem matching up with the speed the Penguin's forwards have. And the Flyer's propensity for taking bad penalties would be capitalized upon.

[mathdotcom]

Washington was 3rd best in East.. and only because they won their division.

Biron will need to be super hot to get Flyers into finals

[mathdotcom]

Theodore has been crap for years now. Hasek always chokes in playoffs. Thats why I went with teams that have been there before. ie. Detroit/Dallas. All the Eastern players are new, however, so it's fairly up in the air.

how is mtl and wash sub par teams? they had a better record than pit in regular season.. they were best in the east.

And now you say playoffs is an entirely different season and reg. season doesn't mean shit?

Btw, Bruins only outplayed Habs in the games they won. First two games were solid wins from Habs, though not as big blowouts as the ones during regular season.

[element1286]

I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas beat Detroit. I'm not sold on Osgood for the long haul. And even though the Flyers are up 3-1 they were outplayed badly in 2 of their wins. So they are lucky to be up 3-1, but now that Carbonneau has ruined his team by starting Halak, the Habs have no shot. I would be surprised if the Flyers beat the Penguins. Pens/Wings would be an intriguing matchup, my heart says Pens, but my head says Wings.

[mathdotcom]

Agree w/ everything you said, element

[element1286]

The Habs were lucky to win game 1, but the Flyers were lucky to win game 2 and 3. I had no problem with the call on Richards, it looked like a knee. Their young goaltenders could have played great, or they could have failed, and they failed. I don't think the Flyers have an advantage in any area over the Penguins. And the Penguins have plenty of advantages against the Flyers.

[Deuce]

Detroit is too good. Turco is a siv against the Wings. They are done.
