I'll be switching between Caps & Bruins.  I luv watching Ovechkin but don't think the Caps are there yet; kinda like the Pens a year back.  I don't look for Caps to win the series, no matter how good that would be. 

Bruins/ Habs is the game to watch today.  Canadians are really one of the better teams in NHL. If Boston could pull another one off; could change the series.

I've always thought the Caps were a good team, but I gotta go with my Pens always.

MY Penguins almost moved to Kansas last year till Mario saved the team, AGAIN.

I know my Pens almost moved here.  I was really excited, but I really wasn't disappointed or at all suprised when they decided to stay in Pittsburgh.  They ARE the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS afterall.  "Kansas City Penguins" would take some getting used to (if they even decided to keep the name).

Only reason I was really excited was because I could actually go to a game if they moved there.  Other than that, I didn't really care if they stayed or not.

That being said, I'd really love to see KC get an NHL team sometime....

Well it isn't like there are a whole lot of Penguins in Pittsburgh either...

The Kansas City Jazz....now that could work, given KC's history with the music style.

And the Sens bow out in 4 straight games. The sweep by my very young Penguins. Now looks like we're gonna take on the Rangers. The other team that scares me.  I guess if you want to win the championship you gotta beat the best. Look out, Pens are focused.

Rangers won a tough one last night. One more to go. Got my fingers crossed.
Congrats on the sweep. Hope to see you in the next round.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Pens have had more success with Rangers than Boston this year; and old Marty has blanked Pens a couple times too; he's something else when hot against the Pens.   So I guess the Pens are lucking out getting Rangers.   

I've had Center Ice & all the local sports channels broadcast in NHL cities for the last 2 years; kinda worth it to me when it's awful cold in winter, heck it was below zero when I got up this morn; supposed to warm up sooner or later.  Anyway, we watch at least one Eastern Game & Western Game everynight soon as football is over.  I remember like a month or so back, everybody predicting who was gonna make it from East & West.  I thought, man; I know Habs & Wings look pretty steady but the way the playoffs go with upsets; it's who shows up to move on.  Who would have figured Wings/Preds be even now?  And Habs just scored first goal on Bruins, better get back to game, ha.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Yes the Pens did it in convincing style. I want to see how those "playoff beards" look on those young kids late in to the next rounds. The bruins made that belle centre very quiet! 5 GOALS?!! They finally got to that 20 year old goaltender. It be interesting to see how he reacts in the next game. I just want game 7's! There is nothing better in sports than hockey GAME 7 !!!

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

For some reason I don't want any part of the Rangers. I think The Bruins would be a more favorable match up for the Pens.  But as I said earlier you want the big prize you gotta beat the best.  Having Sid hurt for 2 monthes is really gonna help.  Malkin showed what many allready knew. He can bring it and with a healthy rested Crosby who knows. Still say though it comes down to Marc Andre.  If he doesn't let in the soft goals and can remaine focused I do like this team.

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

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Well it's 75 degrees here,but there is a game at 1pm! So i guess I'm not going out! You're right about the Rangers,they can be dangerous now that they got through Jersey. I guess Avery was a pain in the butt. I didn't think they had the goaltending but so far....... Bruins tonight in Boston should be another good one. They should send that Bruin fan who put Montreal fan in hospital to Montreal for game 7! Maybe a t-shirt on saying who he is!!!

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Rangers move on. A well fought series. Playoff hockey. I love it!
Interesting point? Martin Brodeur wouldn't shake Sean Averys hand after the game. I guess it got a little personal between those two. Well back to the TV 3rd period Caps2 Flyers1.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

OH MY GOD. Scott Stevens was a beast. Bet Avery would have played a little bit different game had Scott still been in front of Marty. WOW those hits, I felt so bad for the class act Ronny Francis he was crushed. Couldn't even crawl to the bench. I remember the Lindros hit like it was yesterday. And if my memory serves me correct Kariya got back on his next shift and nailed a slap shot goal after being leveled by Stevens.
   Whats this about a Bruins fan beat up a Habs fan?  Missed that.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

WOW!! Just watched Bruins Habs, best game of the series!!GAME 7 MONTREAL MONDAY!! If they let Bruins come back from 3-1 those fans will freak!!  Yea Karyia went to the dressing room to get his bearing and next period fired a laser from the left point! I guess a Bruin fan put a Canadien fan in the hospital after game 4. Bashed his head on sidewalk and kicked him when he was down. Boston radio talked about it.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

That last 10 minutes of the Bruins/Habs game was awesome. Back and forth. B's pull it out to force a game 7. If the Bruins win the series I think the Pens will play them. If the Habs win the Pens play the Rangers and the Habs play the winner of Philly/Washington.  I think I got that right....   Some great hockey.

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Well here it comes GAME 7 Bruins Canadiens! Fire up the grill,put on the surround sound and just watch the best 1st round series in a couple years!! It's funny how it worked out for Phil Kessel,benched at the beginning of the series because they wanted a more physical presence and he comes back with 4 points in 2 games. You see that "hi-light reel" goal? Like Barry Melrose said,"if the Bruins lose they'll still be heroes in Boston for their grit. The Canadiens won't be able to spend their summer in Quebec if they lose." Sharks Flames should be a good one but staying up for west coast games is tough.   Oh am I allowed to put stereo up to 11 for hockey?

Re: NHL PLAYOFFS Power Rankings??

Bruins/Habs comes on at 3:00 pm in alaska.  I'm only person for 200 miles with HD samsung & center ice so some of local Indians coming up for game.  None of the local white people around here into sports except me and this retired guy from NYC; imagine that.  They pride themselves with the fact that they have never been to a hockey, football, or afternoon ballgame, ya they ain't right. 

Indians into hockey cause all their upriver relatives in Dawson watch playoffs.  Wifey gets bent outta shape, when I send invite out to the Indians as they get wound up pretty quick drinkin and in past had to send people packin.  She'll get over it, ha ha, always does.  Anyway, we still got snow everywhere but melting fast, in 40's & sunny.

This should be a great game today.
