Topic: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Power Rankings: Sharks top last list of regular season
Bleh Bleh Bleh If all you needed was to be on top of the power rankings there would be no need to play the game  unfortunately for the Sharks they did just that last night in Game one  and the flames show us why the play the game and took game one 3/2 Now I look at these power Rankings and for me being a shark fan I still can't see why the red wings are not on top.
check out the power Rankings here http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/powerranking

Peace
Bluezman                                                                 GO Sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got blisters on my bloody fingers (JL)

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Sorry Bluezman. Cups coming east this year. Right to Pittsburgh. Depth in scoring, solid team defence and Mark Andre Flury is playing lights out in goal. Since he's come back from his high ankle sprain his goals against is like 1.25 and save % at .950 over the last 15 games. That alone will win you a bunch of games.   Oh yeah that Crosby kid looks so determined right now. Sure the Sens kept him off the scorecard last night, but then there's Malkins line. Best 2nd line in hockey. 
   OH yeah we got that Roberts guy. 42 years old and is just a beast. He's showing these kids what it takes to win in the post season. If we don't win it this year , write it down Stanley Cup Champions Pittsburgh Penguins SOONER THAN LATER!

Take care everyone. And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then ill, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late

AMEN JEFF !

Tell me about the car i saw parked outside your door ? Tell me what you left me waiting two or three hours for ? Tell me why when the phone rings, baby, your up and across the floor ? Please dont keep me wondering no more.....

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Hockey a subject on JOE B web?! COOL! Yeah the penguins high flying offense will be fine going through the eastern conference,but their inexperience is going to catch up with them. If they make it to the finals they have to avoid a wide open offensive shoot out with a west coast team.And we always see a hot goalie carry his team through the playoffs. Don't get me wrong,I hope Sid and CO. get it done. I think the "old guys" from Detroit will hold their own but San Jose will finally get there to the finals. GO WHALERS.................um forget it!!

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Go Penguins! 

I am wearing my Penguins jersey right now, actually.....

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Glad to see some hockey talk on here.  We have to do with Center Ice & NHL network, and all the local back east sports shows but better than watchin scores & stats I guess.  Best hockey of the year right now too; 2-3 games a day for our family.   

Been Pens fans close to 40 years, remember going to games in 70's and only 6-7 thousand people in Civic Arena; it's got better as now everythings sold out.  Up here, mostly Canuck fans still cowering in the depths of depression; but I put the invite out to come over for the games.  Actually, have alot of upriver friends & Indians from Canada who watch hockey here when in town.  Local Indians into hockey too but not too many the white people here appreciate sports.  I miss hockey & football more than anything, can't figure these locals out.

The Sharks/Flames game 1 was pretty good but glad to see S.J. win game 2.  Game 1 was much better than Pens/Sens first.  Looking forward to Caps/Flyers like everyone else.  Heck, I watch every game now.   

The Pens should do well if they show more consistency, they have the talent, but have watched them for years not show up now and then, can't even play that game in second season.  I'm looking for Crosby to shine in game 2 this afternoon. 

You all see that rocket richard movie that came out last year?  Best buy has it, pick her up, good hockey movie and the extra stuff is as good as the movie itself.

Been away from Burgh many years, what ever happened to Mike Lang?

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Mike Lang introduced Walter Trout before he came out on stage at last summers Pittsburgh Blues Festival,as he is a HUGE fan of Walters. Unfortunately Mike got reduced to doing Penguins radio broadcasts. He is such a colorful announcer. A Pittsburgh sports icon with as much of a unique personality as Myron Cope had.

Tell me about the car i saw parked outside your door ? Tell me what you left me waiting two or three hours for ? Tell me why when the phone rings, baby, your up and across the floor ? Please dont keep me wondering no more.....

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

The blues fest last year, missed the night Walter was there but the next night Frank Marino was headlining and Mike Lange introduced him with Sean McDowell. Gave him a Pens Jersey with Marino on the back. Sweet.  Frank being from Montreal is a Penguins fan, second to the Habs I would imagine.    LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.  Some much good hockey.
  The western conf does concern me if the Pens can get out of the East. Detroit is like a machine. San Jose is playing great, even Dallas can possibly take the west. Anybodys game right now.  Who wants it more.....

Take care everyone. And if I don't meet you no more in this world

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Yea i don't have a rooting interest in any team,I'm just a hockey fan. TV outside when weather's warmer,grill and fire going.....SWEET! The Stars don't have the horses for a long playoff.....they would be the surprise team. Ducks and Wings ooooold,but saving grace can be the goaltending. Nobody picking any eastern team but the Penguins. Ovechkin put the Caps on his back just to make the playoffs and Boston doesn't have that type of player. What the sport needs is the MONTREAL CANADIENS to take it all. I mean look where the cup has been the last 3 (really 4) years, ANEHIEM?! TAMPA?! @#!%## CAROLINA?!(that one hurt) Even if the Rangers made noise that would be good. I picked them to win it all after the trades they made during off season,but they under achieved all year. Pretty cool talking to a couple of you guys,us hockey fans are a dying breed!!

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Yea I dig hockey. The east was amazing to watch this year,crazy tight. Poor Carolina. Hats off to the Caps for how they played down the stretch.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

The problem with the Devils is they can't score to save their life. Marty can keep them in any game giving up 2 or 3 goals but when you can't score it doesn't matter how great Marty plays. They need to address their lack of scoring in the off season.
   How bout Ovechkin, that kid is loving life. Always smiling, just really enjoys the game and it shows. He absolutely took the Caps on his back the last 2 weeks of the season. Won their last 7 games to take over the Hurricanes.
   My Pens are just taking it to the Sens right now. 20 shots in the first period. Gerber is keeping them in it though, only one got by him so far. 
   The Rangers scare me. Lundquist is playing great and Jagr is starting to come to life.  Gotta love playoff hockey.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Sean Avery is a very good hockey player. Great pest and can score. He doesn't get enough credit for the scoring ability. He can be a very good player if he keeps his temper in check.
  Well my Pens pulled it out after blowing a 3 - 0 lead. Sens tied it up in the third then the Pens cash in on the power play with under 2 minutes left.  My fingernails take a beating every year.
