at the start of the playoffs i would have agreed with you. but now i think ottawa will win. they havent really played one bad game yet this post season. but buffalo has yet to give their all. if they finally do then it will go 7 games and i dont know who to pick

coltrane · « **Reply #79 on:** May 06, 2007, 03:22:26 PM »

also, these teams HATE each other bad.....lots of fighting the last time they met up.....remember emery was fighting with sabres players?

should be great

btw--jagr sucks.

and onto the conference finals

wings-ducks will be really good. I dont' know if the ducks are deep enough in the forward department but they have 2 of the best d-men in the world so it'll be interesting. Injuries have really hurt the Detroit D but...Chelios is playing like a man possessed and he's in fantastic shape for his age. If the wings can roll 4 lines I don't think the ducks can hang. Problem is once one line gets hot another cools off. Get Bertuzzi, Lang, Caulder and guys like that all going at once and it'll be really intersting. Plus you've got hasek who's capable of almost anything.

I'm a longtime Detroit fan, but have not forgiven the signing of Bertuzzi (who joined the team while I was boycotting the NHL).

Hasek has played really well this postseason, so props to him for keeping it together. The loss of Schneider hurts, but I think the Wings still defeat Anaheim.

They'll have a lot of trouble against Ottawa or Buffalo, though.

sens win first game 5-2, that was a little shocking. they interviewed Hasak on a local show and I didn't even realize if the wings win Hasak HAS to play one of his former teams, it would be most interesting if the wings played the sens cause I think there would be more bad blood towards him in that series.

can't wait for tonights game.

no it isnt.
ottawa has played better than buffalo so far this post season.

coltrane · « **Reply #90 on:** May 12, 2007, 01:55:33 PM »

plain and simple the score didn't reflect the game.....

watch for Buff to come out TOUGH tonight......they are THE better team.

ya im sure everybody is surprised at how mediocre theyve been. at the start of the playoffs i thought buffalo would easily be in the final. but now, no way. they just arent playing like they are capable of...and ottawa is playing awesome. no way can buffalo win 4 out of the next 5 games.

but yes the games have been great

blinky · « **Reply #94 on:** May 19, 2007, 06:07:28 PM »

ottawa wins it in 5

goodbye buffalo

ottawa is looking INCREDIBLE

Chelios and others lost their composure when it counted, not the sign of a good team. In part could've been fatigue. Allowed key mistakes at the very last minute. Including a penalty that contributed, the inexusable failure to clear the puck in the last minute, allowing a deflection off a defenseman's stick for the tying goal and of course the insane loss of the puck in front of Hasek in OT.

Thus at home they blew it and their season's likely over.

cup final is set

ottawa-anaheim.

im picking ottawa

no more noon saturday games. that's a relief. i'm cheering for the sens by default i guess, although i have nothing against the ducks.

i am sure mr bettman is more than pleased with this matchup. hahaha
