Once again, a lot of good that signing did the Avalanche (or any other team that runs out making big moves at the deadline). That shit almost never works. A lot of good it did Anaheim, as well.

I hate to agree but I have to. Forsberg has been my favorite player for almost 20 years now and he will probably continue be my favorite player (though Nicklas Bäckström will probably be a good contender for that spot in 2-3 years) even if/when he stops playing.
I just don't want the new hockey fans to remember him as some overrated injured hockey player, so he should just stop already while there is still a generation that remember his greatness.
Though as said already, I have high hopes for Nicklas Bäckström (as the swede I am). He is a much bigger talent than Forsberg ever was, and Forsberg totally dominated everything in his youth.

Not bad for a team that wasn't supposed to beat the Ducks and definately wasn't supposed to beat most people's choice for Cup champ this year, the Sharks.

And how great was it that Morrow got the game winning goal? He is one of the best examples of a captain leading a team, willing them to victory by hard work and determination. He has been an incredible player these 2 rounds. And what can you say about Turco? He has completely shed the "great regular season, playoff choker" mantle. He was lights-out Sunday night/morning. The Sharks were taking it to the Stars for most of the end of regulation and most of the 4 OTs and he kept making save after save after save.

After the Sharks got a Power Play in the 3rd OT and the Stars killed it off, I was waiting for the Stars chance. And boy did they make it count. I just wish I could have been there and not glued to my TV at home.

Bring on the heavily favored Red Wings! I don't care if we get skunked and we don't win another game, this playoff year has been outstanding and we can only build from here. Tons of young guys who are coming into their own. This team reminds me why I started watching hockey when they got here.

GO STARS!

Dallas looks tough. With their defense and Turco playing good and their offense playing like they have been, I think they will beat Detroit.

The Flyers are going to try and be physical with Pittsburgh and end up taking too much penalties and Pittsburghs deep offense will bury them.

Dallas vs. Pittsburgh final and its going to go 7 games. Ill be wearing my Malkin jersey for this one.

Ardbeg of AB · 05-07-2008, 02:04 AM

The Dallas - Detroit matchup will be interesting to watch, two teams with good defense good offense and good veteran goaltending. I think Detroit will win it but I will be a hard fought battle for sure.

In the other serie I really hope Philly can step up and give the Penguins a run for the money. But as Empire4i pointed out philly cant be taking as many penalties as they did against Montreal.

The two big things for the Flyers will be Biron and Briere. If Biron can keep up his play and Briere play like he did against Capitals, I feel good about seeing Flyers in the finals.

Ishad · 05-07-2008, 08:08 AM

Well to get the predictions out of the way, I'm taking Wings and Pens.

fixed

Eomer · 05-07-2008, 08:25 AM

Same, Wings and Pens. I don't think that Philly has a chance against Pittsburgh, and I think Dallas is going to hit the wall against Detroit.

Braen · 05-07-2008, 08:49 AM

Sticking with my boys. Stars vs. Pens

Moontayle · 05-07-2008, 09:16 AM

Stars and Pens. I think the Stars have been tested more these playoffs and they've been the underdog for both series so far. That type of thing builds confidence and is one of those intangibles that can bring a team to the winner's circle.

Now sure what to think about the Pens. I just want them to beat the Flyers so I can laugh at Briere.

Quarters:

Montreal Canadians vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers

WEST:
Detroit Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche
San Jose Sharks vs. Dallas Stars

So I was 3/4 in the second round, and 9/12 overall so far. Not bad I guess.

Semis:

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers
Detroit Red Wings vs. Dallas Stars
