The playoffs stat this week (Thursday, I believe).

Here is our annual discussion thread...

[Sully]

If someone can size that down, that'd be cool. Thanks.

[QuikSsurfer]

I'm the only Stars fan now that Chiefs4me is gone :(

Perfect.
Thanks.

[siberian khatru]

Go Rangers

[Sully]

Sadly, my favorite player is on the Rangers (Shanahan).
I'm also a big Avery fan. They are a lot better, and can be fun to watch.
It's tough to beat Brodeur, but the Devils aren't what they once were.

[DaFace]

Perfect.
Thanks.

No prob. For what it's worth, you can do basic resizing through imageshack directly. It's much quicker than loading it into a photo editing program.

[DaFace]

I've become an Avs fan since being out here, and you can't hate me since I wasn't here when they were good. :p

[Bearcat]

I'm out of it when it comes to the NHL. No Versus, no hockey. I remember the series against the Wild when the seeds were reversed a few years back... I had seen the Wild in person that year and knew they were good, but I remember some idiot in the Denver Post (couldn't find him there a minute ago... last name started with a K, iirc?) wrote a few columns about how the Wild didn't deserve to be in the NHL. It was painful to watch.

Anyway, um, go Avalanche... as long as I don't have to pay attention until after tomorrow night. :D


Where did chiefs4me go? :hmmm:

[Sully]

Wanna bet?

LOL

[morphius]

I'm looking forward to my Av's finally being on TV, I have only seen a game and a half this year. About the only time they have been non TV is when I had no chance to watch them.

[DaFace]

So, as a hockey n00b, I don't know how all this stuff works. Have they already scheduled games for the first round of the playoffs? If no, when do those come out? And if so, is there some list out there?

You need Dish Network (or maybe DirecTV). When I was in Emporia, we had Altitude on our 2nd tier channel package - my wife's been an Avs fan for years and wanted to watch games so we paid a little extra.

I'm having trouble finding a schedule, but I assume there will be one out by the end of the evening. Though the matchups are set, i think they will maybe wait till after the last game being played tonight.


...or I just haven't looked hard enough.

I hate that VS only seems to show one game a week, what a worthless channel. Of course I'm also stuck with StL games on Fox Sports. blech.

Altitude's a pretty decent channel really. All of the home games with the exception of one or two were in HD this year, and I like their play-by-play guys for the most part.

VS is OK to get a variety of games, but not to follow any particular team.

Understandable. I'd actually really like to get DirecTV out here so that I could get the Ticket, but there's no way to do it with the way my apartment's set up.

Go Wild.

Go Wild.

Booooooooo

[Deberg_1990]

Im not much of a Hockey fan, but ive noticed HDNET shows alot of NHL games.

Time for a dynasty....

[Sully]

Another great background, this one from Letsgowings.com (this guy always does GREAT work...

http://www.letsgowings.com/downloads/wallpaper/scp08rd1-800x600.jpg

[Bearcat]

Here's the thread I was looking for... Joe Sakic with the OT goal last night. :toast:

NBC has two Nashville/Detroit and Washington/Philly games each this weekend and next... guess beggars can't be choosers. :(

If you actually want to, you know, watch hockey (damn you Gary Bettman :cuss: ), Boston College/North Dakota and Notre Dame/Michigan are on ESPN2 tonight, 5 and 8:00. The final is Saturday night at 6.

[Sully]

Red Wings are playing Nashville tonight. I'm pretty excited to see it.

I caught very little of Pittsburgh blowing out Ottawa last night, but watched about a period and a half of San Jose and Calgary, two tough, fast teams. All I can say is that I LOVE the intensity of playoff hockey.

Thanks for finding this thread. I couldn't find it earlier.

[DaFace]

The Avs/Wild game was something else last night. Two posts, two reviews, and a missed penalty shot went by in the late 3rd period, and none of them went in for the Avs. I didn't figure they'd be able to keep it up, but Sakic came through in the end. Pretty fun game.

If I wasn't going out of town in a couple of weeks, I'd give you my Slingbox so I could see some of these games. So, here's what you do... go out and buy a DVR, Slingbox, and a cable splitter... o:-)

Oh well, Versus has all but Game 5 (ESPN doesn't list the possibility of Game 7 at all, so maybe they know something we don't :hmmm: ), so I'll get someone in KC to record and burn DVDs.... can't miss the Peter Forsberg show :)

[Demonpenz]

The penz are loaded this year

[QuikSsurfer]

Not showing any games tonight on TWC in KC :(

[DaFace]

You don't have Versus?

[Sully]

Versus is showing the Wings, though not in HD. On the HD versus, they are showing some Master's show, which I think is ridiculous. I like to watch golf as much as the next guy, but preempting a live playoff event in favor of a highlight show... of golf... is bullshit.

[The Franchise]

Go Devils!!!!!!!!

[QuikSsurfer]

You don't have Versus?

i'm getting golf.
maybe a way to stream the games without paying for "center ice"

[morphius]

Av's game wasn't on here last night, but at least their next one is supposed to be. Shame the NHL doesn't put up the games on On-Demand.

I THINK there's an Altitude on demand here. If so, I'll see if I can figure out how to put up their little 10 minute game summary for you guys.

[unlurking]

Glad to see so many Wings games on VS HD!!

[Bearcat]

Holy crap, what a play for the shorty. :eek:


I love college hockey. :drool:

[Sully]

It's awesome to see that, though the guide says a Master's show is on, the Wings are on in HD.
They are dominating Nshville on the ice, though they have only scored once... that's typical and maddening for them in the playoffs. I don't see the intensity I saw in last night's games. I hope they aren't taking this lightly. You'd think as many times as they've been upset the past few years they would come out a little more amped.
Ah well, they should win this series easily.

[Sully]

Detroit just whiffed on the puck with a wide open net twice in 20 seconds.

Cmon! Get it together!!!!

Tied up 1-1 at the end of the 2nd. Think Detroit was overlooking this game?

[Sully]

This is what they do every ****ing year, and it drives me nuts.
They are OWNING Nashville. The puck has been in Nashville's zone at least 2/3-3/4 of the time, but Detroit hasn't scored. So Nashville makes one play, and it's a tied game, which will give them energy coming out in the 3rd.

Like I said, their intensity isn't what it should be, even though they are dominating, and it's going to burn them. If not in this series... in the next.

And sadly, when it is on net, Ellis has been right there with some great saves.

About friggin time!!!

[unlurking]

Yep, this game should be 5-1 or more by now. Couple great saves by Ellis, couple whiffs by Wings, but pretty total domination. Haven't been paying attention to the announcer, but I'm guessing we're leading in every stat by a good margin.

[unlurking]

That replay of Zetterberg tripping was crap. The puck was in the player's feet, Hank has every right to go after the puck.

Damn Rofolski looks like shit. What's new, eh?

[QuikSsurfer]

HUGE HIT!

[unlurking]

WWWOOOOWWWW!!!!

Flashbacks of VLADINATOR!!

ZERO elbow you douchebags (shoulder). He did leave his feet though. :(

[unlurking]

Good kill, keep momentum.

Surprisingly impressed with the officiating tonight. Only calling blatant fouls, pretty much letting 'em bang it out.

[Sully]

WWWOOOOWWWW!!!!

I wouldn't care if he did elbow.
This is a huge cheapshot team, and I like the message. I doubt Tootoo missed that shot. Hopefully we can get their emotions up and make them play even sloppier.

Agreed. Although it looks like it is gonna go down to the wire, so look for retaliation Sunday. This is going to be a good, aggressive series.

I'm sure the officials will be very nice to the Stars in Anaheim

That's two teams I'd prefer to watch without ANY refs on the ice. The next game would be have to be held in the ER with all those cheap shottin' bastages!

Nice win, boys!!! Let's show a little more Saturday, huh?

[Demonpenz]

Doo bee doo be doo beware of the penguins

[markk]

hope nj can beat the rangers but I'm not optimistic about that since they were manhandled by them this season. hoping for the flames over the sharks but who knows what chance there is of that happening either.

[Demonpenz]

I hope the pens don't play NJ I get tired of getting our ass handed to us 4-1 during the 90's

[Sully]

Doo bee doo be doo beware of the penguins

I miss those commericials.

Another intense game between the Avs and the Wild tonight.

[DaFace]

WWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avs tie it back up on a 6 on 4 with 40 seconds left in the game. Time for the second overtime in the second game.

Nuts.

[DaFace]

And you all suck for not paying attention.

[QuikSsurfer]

This thread was a ghost town during my Stars game...
**** the AVs!!
:)

[Demonpenz]

The wild win in overtime QS are you getting center ice with timewarner cable? I am getting it without ordering it i am wondering and hoping other hockey fans are getting it free.

[QuikSsurfer]

I'm not getting it. I'll check again tomorrow.
Hopefully you're not billed for it :)

[Sully]

The Avs-Wild game was pretty intense. That's gonna be a great series.
The Pens are going to run away with their series, and I think are the favorites out East to make the finals (huge statement, huh?). The Caps and the Pens would be a great conference championship, and would have HUGE star power.
Wings at 1pm today!

[Sully]

In the matter of about 2 minutes at the beginning of the 2nd period, i went from feeling we could walk through the rest of this game, with a 2 goal lead, to about crapping my pants as Nashville had tied it up and hit the post on the next shot. This game is far more intense than Thursdays, for both sides. Detroit is playing well, especially Hasek. It was great to see Mac get a goal. I feel great for that guy.

Gotta sweat through another period...

[Demonpenz]

i don't like the way the game is played some questionable calls and lucky bounces

[Sully]

i don't like the way the game is played some questionable calls and lucky bounces

That first Nashville goal was definitely a lucky bounce, but Detroit has used those home boards to their advantage for a few years now, so I can'[t complain much.
Nashville probably should have gotten a goal in the first period, but it was a quick whistle for the net being off. I'm certainly not going to be writing the league about it though.

[Demonpenz]

yeah i know it is 7 games i just hate when the goals go off of sticks and the overall feel of the game seems lucky. OH well

[chagrin]

Period 2 was kick ass, very exciting playoff Hockey so far.

[Sully]

HOMER!!!!!!!!!!

It's about time they buried one of those. It seems they have had opportunities at those types of goals 10 times in the first two games.

[Buck]

Im going to the Ducks vs. Stars game tonight!! GO DUCKS!!!

[Bearcat]

Watching the Wings' offense in this game is almost like watching a video game with the number of cross-ice opportunities. The Red Wings/Predators is one of those big brother/little brother rivalries... intense, but doesn't mean much until little brother wins a few.

I'll be in Detroit in a couple of weeks... if the Avalanche are the lowest seed to advance, maybe I can get tickets so I can get beer thrown on me for wearing my Forsberg jersey. :hmmm: :)

[Bearcat]

Whoever was sitting behind that woman who kept jumping up to be on tv should have punched her in the back of the head.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Hope our power play scoring line is as effective as it was on Thursday.

[Bearcat]

Good game between the Flyers and Caps... the Flyers had 3 penalties in the last ~12 minutes, which killed them, and they still almost tied it up at the end.

Avalanche go for the series win tonight. :thumb:

I'll be screaming for the Avs in front of my HD screen, so it should be a good time anyway.

I know people have success at Arrowhead by waiting after kickoff to find tickets, but I'd obviously have no idea if it would work at the Pepsi Center.

Eh, I'm not too worried about it. However, if they take care of business tonight, I may try and get 'em at face for the next round. They actually haven't been selling out all that quickly.

[The Poz]

How is a Toronto guy rooting for Cal-gary?

I've always hated the Leafs! Actually got into the Atlanta Flames when I was first interested in hockey. Was pretty young. Then when they moved to Calgary - all the better.

Big one tomorrow - do or die. SJ will choke as usual in the playoffs.

[DaFace]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! GO AVS!!!!!!!!!!


(I may or may not have celebrated a little too much.)

[ClevelandBronco]

It's pretty damned clear that Theo has decided that he'd rather be a hockey player again instead of a celebrity. It's good to see him playing up to his capabilities.

[Sully]

Buh.

The Wings, if they make it past this round, will not make it past the next.
They don't play with the speed of other teams in the playoffs. They are a great passing team, and just seem to be trying to go about their business in a nonchalant way, all while waiting to Hank and Pavel to get back on the ice. The thing is, they've got the speed... they just aren't playing with it.

Gonna be a disappointing spring.

[Bearcat]

Bring on the Red Wings.... maybe. :)

[eazyb81]

Don't count out the Preds just yet. They almost stole Game 6 with an amazing performance from goalie Dan Ellis, who had 52 saves.

I am more pumped for this game then I have been for any game in awhile. The Sommet Center will be going crazy, and I have a feeling we will force a Game 7.

Well, so much for that one. Sorry man.

Startin to look like we'll have a Detroit-Colorado matchup in the next round. That should be fun.

[Bearcat]

Holy crap, there are some really good seats available for the second round at Joe Louis Arena.... 3rd row lower bowl on the blue line, first row upper deck at center ice... :eek:

If there are no Game 7s on Tuesday, I think the 2nd round will start Wednesday... so I could make it to Game 5 or 7 in Detroit. PBJ

It'll be like being a Chiefs fan in the Black Hole... if you aren't careful, someone might pee on your leg.

From what I hear, the Wings have raised their prices so much that they've priced out the passionate fan. That's why they don't sell out as much anymore, and why you don't hear the crowd as much as you used to or as much as in most other cities. Add that to the fact that the Joe is kind of a shithole, and I think you'll be safe from the pee.

[DaFace]

Avs tickets go on sale here Tuesday at 6pm. Depending on the prices, I might try to go this time around.

Well, the Av's made staying up last night worth it. Sadly they are the only team I like that is left, I'm just going to have a lot teams left to root against.

Go Av's!

Yep... about the price of a game at Arrowhead for a decent seat in the 2nd round if you don't have season tickets. Are there plans to replace Joe Louis Arena? I know it's been around for 20 or 30 years...

Any of the other Av's fans tired of watching the first power play squad continually look for the perfect shot? It has been something that has bothered me with them over the years.

You're referring to the "pass it back and forth for a full minute" play? If so, yeah, that gets tiring.

As a new fan who isn't really attached to the "old" players, I've become a big fan of Salei. He seems to be more willing to just put it on net from the point than most of the other guys, and it seems to pay off about every other game.

No problem! I just did it again, I wanted the actual logos in there. Hope you don't mind.

I could live with the Av's in 7. I'm still amazed that the Av's only trailed for under 5 minutes for their entire series, thats almost impressive. Though the Av's goalie will have to continue to stand on his head if they want to move on again.

I pulled it from another website, so I don't have any ownership issues with how you change it. The black looks better, so great job.

Theodore is a decent goalie, and he's in luck... before playing the Wings, the league lets every goalie take steroids and have surgery to make themselves bionic. So you should be set!!!

I'm pretty down on my Wings right now. I just didn't see the speed and intensity from them that I saw from other teams in the 1st round. I'd like to think they can turn it on, but I've been down this road too many times with them. Plus, although he didn't have a great series agains Minnesota, you guys have the answer to Holmstrom in Ryan Smyth, who is one of my favorites.

It'll be a good series, though.

[Fish]

Wow.... quite a game going already between the Avs and the damn Red Wings....

1-1 mid 1st period.


Go Avs!

[Bearcat]

Best thing about Victoria, Texas: they have Versus. :)


Missed the first 3 goals..... damnit, 3-1 :cuss:

[Bearcat]

I haven't bought game 5 or 7 tickets, and if they keep playing like this it'll save me $100+ per ticket.



They seem to be awake now that they've replaced Theodore.

Son of a bitch... first Avalanche game I've seen since the last time they lost to the Red Wings, and they look like sh*t. :banghead:

[DaFace]

Not looking too promising for the Avs tonight. :(

[Fish]

Ha ha.... Theo gets benched and they decide to actually play today.

2 - 4

Got get em.... plenty of time.....

[Bearcat]

4-2

I don't often see a change in goalie wake up a team.. it's kind of like the coach saying the same thing to get you motivated every time you're down.... but it worked this time, even if it's only been a few minutes.

[Fish]

We all know there's no such thing as a typical game when it's Avs/Redwings playoff time...

I caught about the last 10 minutes. My wife told me the Avs really turned it up after Jose left the game (damn, she's awesome).

Osgood made a great save at the end, though.

Let's hope the Wings can build on the win, rather than pissing it away like they did in round 1.

The way the Av's were passing the puck in the first period I knew they were in a lot of trouble. Even the simple cross ice passes seemed impossible for them to handle. Just making a game out of that was huge though.

What a f***ing embarrassment... not showing up in Game 1 until Theodore was pulled, and getting completely dominated in Game 2. On top of that, after the two last-resort motivators -- pulling the goalie and getting into a fight -- they have to kill 8 penalties because playing bad wasn't enough, they had to start playing dumb, too.

Of course, the Red Wings have something to do with it, and it is a 1-6 matchup, but it's not only the playoffs, it's the Wings/Avalanche FFS.

Salei makes dumb choices, they take stupid penalties, the forwards are skating in sand and can't even keep possession through the neutral zone, and Theodore won't ever be good enough to take over a game against a team as good as Detroit (obviously, not many are). Forsberg could make a difference and maybe light a fire if he can stay healthy, but Superman couldn't fix this clusterf***.

I didn't see the first two games of that series... was it this dominating? The Avalanche didn't deserve to be on the same ice as the Red Wings today, or in the first couple of periods the other night. They had 10 shots after TWO periods. :cuss:

A home game plus Forsberg plus goalie issues by Detroit... Colorado could win game 3. I'm not quick to jump to conclusions after a game or two, but with this kind of effort/domination, the Avalanche have mountains to climb to just stretch this series past 4 or 5 games.

Although the scores weren't indicative of it, Detroit really controlled the play in those first 2 games against Nashville... they just couldn't convert it into goals... and Nashville came close to stealing one.

What goalie issues does Detroit have?

[Bearcat]

What goalie issues does Detroit have?

I didn't say that right... it was wishful thinking.

More like... A home game plus Forsberg plus a couple soft goals...


I almost bought Game 5 tickets the other day, but game like the last two aren't worth $100 plus parking, etc. Sure, it could become a great series, and I obviously hope it does, but the last two games gave me visions of flushing my money down the toilet.... and Game 5* will be on NBC.

[Bearcat]

Pretty good game in Philly, even though Price imploded in the 2nd period... looked like he didn't even try to find the puck on the second goal.

I'm glad Biron's doing well... he's been good for years, but hasn't been on many good teams and was a good backup for a few years. I wanted Colorado to grab him when Roy retired.

CBC is great. All the on-screen ads and in-game commercials are annoying on NBC... but I guess that's what you have to do when no one is watching. :(

Two quick PP goals by Montreal... 3-2 Flyers.

It would be a lot easier to root for Chris Drury if he wasn't on the Rangers.

This is so weird.
At one point in the 1st period, I was amazed how much Colorado was outhustling nd outworking Detroit, suddenly Detroit scores 2 quick goals.\Same thing here, Detroit just seems to be going about their work, while the Avs are hustling and working for every loose puck, and suddenly Detroit scores again.
I keep thinking other teams are going to wipe Detroit out, because the Wings just don't seem to play with the speed and intensity of other teams, but maybe they are just that skilled with the puck that if Ozzie plays well, they can just pick their spots instead of running all over the ice.
I don't know, all I know is they are (so far) making this series look easy.

The Av's can't compete with injured players, Forsburg out the first two game and still suffering tonight. Smyth, one of the few bright points in the first couple games, out tonight. Wings are just too good with the puck, and every bounce seems to go right to one of their players.

3-2 Flyers... very entertaining.

The CBC is the Canadian Broacasting Company (I assume that's what it stands for). The production is great, and they don't have the ads that NBC has in the corners of the screen and they don't have in-game commercials(since many more people are watching, obviously).

The last time I watched Versus, during last year's playoffs, the production had gotten a lot better than when they started.

[Bearcat]

Three 3-0 series and one 3-1.... some good games, but hopefully one or two teams can make their series interesting. Three of the leaders are on the road for their next game, which might help at least extend a series or two.

Hehe, the "Broad Street Bullies" days, good times.

Thier defensemen are still on the enforcer side but they've migrated the rest of the team over to finesse...finally. I'm sure they'll be picked to lose against Pitt if it works out that way but they were picked to lose the series against Canada 6-1 as well.

I'm usually not one to think "it's good if the team that beat my team wins it all, because it sort of validates losing to them.. after all, no one could beat them"....... but, after the Avalanche got taken to the woodshed, beaten like a red-headed stepchild, and a myriad of other clichés for four straight games, I'd almost be annoyed if the Red Wings didn't at the very least make it to OT of Game 7 of the Finals.

Then again, a raping x4 never heals. Especially when it's in the butt. The butt.

I'm more the vengeful type. I'd be perfectly fine if Detroit got slaughtered in the next round. But I don't see any way in hell that happens against either Dallas or San Jose.

I was fortunate enough to attend the Penquins game today in Pittsburgh. I am in town for training and the company giving the training had 4 tickets.

Excellent seats in what is called the Igloo. I sat 5 rows up from the glass right at the blue line.
