Chuck, repeat after me...."we are beating the lightning". (OMOTHC) official member of the homer club. Ha ha ha.
Talk to me after game 5 tonight and I'll let you know how I feel...LOL. I am sticking with my Rangers in 7 call, but I do think we need to win tonight...no elmination games for us in their building.
corey perry, this dude is got it all, fire, intensity, balls, talent, skill, smarts, i don't think this guy could ever look intimidated, lack of confidence, disinterested... would luv to c this guy in a rangers sweater some day
Chicagos bottom 3 are Runblad, Timmonen, and KYLE CUMISKY! Haven't heard that guys name in years... They don't get a lot of ice either
Dmen 5-7 they are questionable. They are really playing 4.5 dmen a game pretty much with Keith/Seabrook/Oduya/Hjal as the big 4. After that it is a question mark on D no doubt. Losing Rozy hurt them.
He is in his prime now.......30 years old. By the time the Ducks move him, he'll be 37. If Sather is still Ranger GM seven years from now, he just might add him to the roster.... a la Martin St. Louis. ................LOL Wish some big name Rangers had his hockey DNA.
Ducks came out a little different than we did in game 5 on their home ice.... Hawks are real good, and Andersen let in a couple of soft goals, so the game ended up in OT, but that is how I expected we'd come out in game 5...didn't work out so well. Ducks in a solid spot now. I'd expect 7 out West at this point.
Looks like a game 7 in the West as well, Hawks up 3-0 in the 2nd period. Day off tomorrow, then our game 7 Friday night and the West game 7 Saturday night. I would lean Ducks based on home ice, but I really think ANY of the 4 teams remaining can win the game 7's and win the cup. Going to be a very fun couple of days for the NHL. Doesn't get any better than double game 7's in the CF's. And the SCF will start next Wednesday...I expect a long series there as well no matter which teams make it.
For me, both Game 7s are a toss up. The teams that get the breaks, win. The hockey season is way too long for normal human beings to endure the 'different standards' of playoff hockey. The game should be showing off players' skills, and don't get me wrong, it does......but players' skills are over shadowed by the 'warriors in the lion's den' that becomes playoff hockey today. L'ning want nothing more to celebrate on MSG ice. As for the Rangers, FLAWLESS means give them nothing. Let the warriors skate into the night.................I have no sense that this game will be a breeze.
