I think you're seriously underrating the Ducks. That is a solid team that will beat you in any number of ways, and now they'll be healthy too. The Oilers are playing outstanding hockey as well, though, so it will be a good series. My take is that the Oilers will win a game in Anaheim off the bat, si...

For entertainment, give me a team that will bang, like Ottawa or Minnesota Or better yet...... http://www.edmontonoilers.com/teams/next_edm_b.gif Sheesh... get over yourselves. Honestly, you win 1 fucking playoff series and become the franchise to be envied around the league? OK, 2 playoff series'....

JD

How is this "typical Hurricanes"?

I've not heard of such a tactic being used before, but I like it. If it improves the atmosphere in your building for your team, why wouldn't you do it?

Rather than Ducks resting, I'm viewing it as Byryryjaghparekov (or however you spell it) is cooling off. As any Oilerfan would, I see you're having troubles spelling words with 3 syllables. It's not tough... say it with me: "Bryz-gal-ov". You'll be saying his name in your sleep before thi...

JD

You guys will have to enlighten me as to when the Avs won their 3rd Cup... :P

Because Derek Morris was supposed to be an up-and-coming Norris Trophy candidate. So much for that.

And in other news, the Ducks are making the Avs their bitches.

Flames don't look so bad right now. Bryzgalov is downright unbeatable and the Ducks' forwards are all over whoever their opposition happens to be. Selanne is on fire.

JD

What happened to the fans? I mean seriously booing in the 2nd donw 1-0??? Way to inspire you team. Uh, Oiler fans were doing the exact same thing in the 2nd period of your Game 6. The only difference between those games were that the Oilers decided to play in the 3rd period. When the Flames got thw...

JD

Looks like the Flames really do miss Conroy! All the top seeds out, can't recall that happening under the current playoff format. Riiiiighht. Pretty sure Conroy was far from the difference between winning and losing that one. Daymond Langkow is just fine. It's the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines that made ...

How much did you pay for those seats?

Damn.

I actually didn't pay anything after selling my season seats. But you didn't have to sit as close as I was to see the Flames deflate after Selanne put that puck behind Kipper.

JD

Well here it is. The only Game 7 of the first round. Fitting I suppose, since the Flames-Ducks series has probably been the most evenly played of all the series'. Anyway, as mentioned in the other thread, I managed to snag a pair of the finest seats available in the Saddledome for this game, so I'm ...

Donovan wrote:That shouldn't be too tough.

Well it will be if I try to recover the cost of upgrading my seats, which wasn't too cheap. Don't know if my good consciousness will allow that sort of gouging though.

JD

Well, I just managed to snag a couple seats for Game 7 on the balcony at centre ice. These will be the best seats my butt will have ever graced in the Saddledome, so that's exciting, I suppose. Would still prefer that there never was a Game 7. And on that note, if any of you know anyone looking for ...

Um, yeah. Right. Goal should have counted, but Lupul did bull Kipper over after the light was flashing.

[I'm not looking for anything fancy...score some ugly goals and win on the road like they've been able to do all season long.

Red Wings fans can say what they want, this is the Oilers' series to lose. This is a carbon copy of the Flames' 2004 victory over the Wings. It's so obvious that the Wings are unwilling to compete with the Grease. Horcoff stickhandles along the boards, Wings' guy tries to poke-check rather than play...

JD

Is Mike Keenan available? I don't think he has yet burned his bridges with every NHL team! :P Mike Keenan is currently the GM in Florida, and staying relatively quiet too. His shelf-life is probably a lot longer in a position in which his personal contact with the players is kept to a minimum, ie, ...

JD

So JD, is chucking the beef original or copying Detroit? I would say it's a satirical imitation of Detroit's tradition. When we played the Wings, guys would throw cow tongues on the ice. Satire is always good in my books, so I don't have a problem with that one. The playoff copycat police has spoke...

JD

Sea of Red vs Sea of Blue... If anything I think Winnepeg started it with the white way way back when. My recollection is that Winnipeg did in response to the Sea of Red in 1984. But despite recollections and "I did it first" pissing contests, Winnipeg took it and ran with it and good for...

JD

Well, if the ratings suck in the States, I won't shed a tear. Why would I? Maybe the games will actually be scheduled at times suitable to my schedule rather than the schedules of a bunch of people that don't even like hockey.

JD

Radio stations had been talking for a couple days about having people wear their home ice jerseys or dark colors to the game specifically for the Sea of Blue type thing. The thing I'm finding disturbing about news from the 'chuk these days is that everything people want to do seems to be so they ca...

JD

Don't want to get ahead of myself but we could be looking at a Detroit-Colorado second round...if the Wings can turn it around and the Avs finish the deal. Well, if we're going to play that game, a Calgary-Edmonton series would be a helluva lot better than a tired old Wings-Avs series, and at this ...

JD

You know, I agree with the point of the original rant, and I'm going to add to it by stating that if the team in question is attempting to have a Sea of _____ (enter colour here), you should probably wear a jersey of _____ colour. In other words, who are these dumbfucks that show up to Flames playof...

JD

This isn't like the Anaheim and Calgary series where the opposing goalie was unbelievable. The Anaheim and Calgary series hasn't been like that either. Kiprusoff and Giguere have left a lot to be desired. I think Mike Garrett on CBC was kissing Roloson's ass a little too much. It's John Garrett, an...

I doubt the playoffs are suddenly gonna be two months of free-flowing firewagon hockey interrupted by 5 on 3 powerplays.

But we'll see.

You are assuming that as soon as the weekend rolls around, that the refs are going to put the whistles away and call old tyme hockey. Do you really think Betman is going to let the stripes throw away his miracle comeback season by allowing washers and dryers to grind out games during the most high ...

JD

I admire your optimism Mr. Moss. Maybe you should go around downtown Calgary and spread some of that confidence. My many Oilfan co-workers aren't so bold as to predict an Oil win. Funny, though, that they're all pretty eager to predict a Flames loss.

JD

Damn, I think that's the first time I've won a week in like 2 or 3 years. :D

1st seed in the Campbell. Big expectations await. Bring it bitches!!!

JD

Ducks have more pure scorers than Calgary. OK, fair enough al?.... Let's lay the smack aside, and you tell me how often in the past "pure scorers" have been really beneficial in the playoffs. As I mention, the Flames are built to survive the grind of 7 game series', meaning they're going ...

JD

Isn't that the reason Murray was let go because he made them work too hard? I wouldn't claim to know, because I haven't paid a lot of attention to the matter, but I would guess that with Murray it was a situation where his message got blurred over time. He'd been in there so long the players tuned ...

JD

No that's just one of the biggest ones. The other one is the defensive effort or lack thereof. Allow me to let you in on a little secret: no shootouts in the playoffs. OT until someone scores, just like before. So, yeah, lack of defensive effort might do the Avs in. Being terrible at shootouts won'...

JD

OK, after reconsidering, the answer to your original question is a resounding NO, the Ducks will not make a postseason run!! Seriously, I like this matchup for the Flames. The series hasn't even begun and Carlyle is complaining about the rough-housing he's expecting his fancy little forwards to take...

JD

but he is 0 for the season in the shootout, so is the rest of the team versus Dallas, and that is exactly where the Stars are going to try to take the Avs throughout the series. Uh, dude, please tell me you're not THAT misinformed!!! I'd say the shootout will be the least of your concerns for the p...

JD

Thanks to this beauty of a matchup, I can wear my Stevie Y jersey without feeling shame for the first time in many years.

Flames jersey one day, Wings the next.

It's always been that way for me... my two favourite teams are the Flames and whoever's playing the Oilers.

Avery shouldn't be talking shit that he can't back up. His teammates certainly aren't willing to back up his mouth.
