That being said, I was very happy with the result.

hawks win, sox win. Today was a good day

Matchups are set. I'm disappointed the Rangers won't be playing Boston, as I would have been able to get tickets to the games, but I think the Boston/Montreal series will be better.

Also, if the Rangers are able to contain Ovechkin (yea right) and exploit a shaky Theodore, we'll face Boston in the second round. I'm really hoping Lundqvist stays hot as the Rangers are not built to run and gun like Washington is, and won't survive in high scoring games.

I wanted the Bruins to play the Rangers because I wanted to see Avery take a stick across the face. He reminds me of a sneakier and nastier version of Ken 'the rat' Linsman. Hate having to clear a 3.5 hour block to watch vs the Canadiens since the games will be chippy with plenty of fights and cheap shots. It will be worth it if the Canadiens go home crying.

Congrats going out to Tom and his Blackhawks. Solid win against the Redwings.

Next up, Blues and Avalanche. This game is huge!! A win will put them in 6th and a loss will find them in the 8th slot. I'd much rather play Vancouver in the first round than San Jose.
I'm just sayin'.

04-12-2009, 04:08 PM

Well Detroit finish's the year with 2 straight loses to the 'Hawks. That will make the Admiral happy. Especially seeing as he was at the game today.

Looks like the Wings will play either The Ducks or Blue Jackets depending on what St. Loius does today.

If I was the blues, I would rather play the sharks. Right now, they aren't playing too well, and are having problems scoring. Maybe they have been flat the second half of the season because they were assured a playoff spot, and will come on strong in the playoffs. I sure hope so, as they have no good excuse not to make it to the 3rd round. Luongo is playing exceptional right now, and may eventually have a cold streak, but I wouldn't want to be the team to find out.

I feel dirty but go rangers

04-12-2009, 06:27 PM

Blues just clenched the 6th spot with a win over the Aves'. If you told me this would of happened in January I would of called you crazy. Blues were 15th place in Feb. It's been a crazy ride.
It's been an exciting second half of the season and I can't wait for Playoffs to start. Good luck to all my Hockey Fools out there!!

icehog3 · 04-12-2009, 06:40 PM

Congrats to the Blues on 6th place...I have to agree with Tony, I would rather play the Sharks right now than the Canucks, Sharks have been flat and Luongo looks tough. The Blues have been the best team in the NHL the last month though, so you never know.

Fun Hawks game today....got a call this morning and upgraded to Rocky Wirtz's seats, a few rows off the ice. I briefly met Rocky and simply shook his hand and thanked him for bringing hockey back to Chicago.

As much as I'm disapointed that we could not follow thru on our wager... Go 'Canes...

Being from Philly... The devils are not one of my favorites.

Good Luck... maybe in a later round.

Thanks Jim, it was a good time. Not a ton of hitting, no one wants to get hurt in a "meaningless" game one game before the playoffs, but a win is a win.

Might be the last time I see Chris Chelios play...I hope not. The fans booed him everytime he touched the puck, which is complete BS since he carried this franchise on his back for almost 10 seasons.

taltos · 04-12-2009, 07:29 PM

Good luck to the Canes and Hawks. Go Bruins!
