NHL playoffs

[Captain]

Anybody else following the playoffs this year?

I was all gung ho, but all the series are two games in now, and its starting to look pretty clear who's going to be playing golf by next weekend already. I thought the Flames would notch it back up to the form they had earlier in the season...Dont look like thats happening either.

A buddy of mine---whom I think is nuts!--- is convinced that the playoffs have been rigged ever since the lockout. He thinks one Canadian team, and one US team is set up to go to the finals every year now. Because Canadians follow the game no matter how bad the team, they are destined to be perennial losers, while the US team...always a struggling team that is in a marketplace the NHL covets...will win.This year he's saying Vancouver will go to the Cup finals, but will be beat by Pittsburgh.

I dont think the Redwings will make it out of the conference. I have a (bad) feeling the Sharks or Canucks will represent the West in the finals this year.

Well, my Pens blew game 3 yesterday.
Got sucked into playing Philly's style of game and lost their cool.

I'm not a big hockey fan but I have been watching the Washington Capitals being stunned by the Rangers!

The Capitals have one of the most talented teams in the NHL but have lost both games due to some bizarre scoring along with some outstanding goal tending by the Rangers.

The fans I know around here are still optimistic about their chances but I heard a statistic that there is only a 12% chance they can do it being down 2 games to nil.

I'm a Sens fan, but they've been unwatchable since they made it to the finals. They need a major shake up if they ever want to be back in the playoff picture.

Flames and Capitals came back in a strong way tonight....The first round may get interesting yet!!

Yes Caps win 4-0 which is what is expected of them.

It would be truly embarassing to watch them get knocked out in the first round.

Can't believe Caps game back to win the series after being down 3 games to 2.

The last game was a nail biter. The Caps/Penguins series should be a good showdown.
