The official 2007 NHL thread...

I have to give the edge to the Ducks based on youth, offensive and a better checking line.

That's funny, they said that about Detroit and Calgary and again about Detroit and San Jose. They out shot, out hit, and out played both teams.

Pronger and Neidermayer will have their hands full against the Wings offense. Should be a real good series though. Guess we'll see how the two teams match up on Friday.

Agreed. Detroit has been the "Old" team for many years. They have an amazing group together. If the Dominator can pull out all of his stops we certainly will have some trouble.

I really think this will be a series of small bounces and little plays. The teams are very evenly matched. It has all of the makings of the "Perfect" playoff series. It really is anyones series when you look at the statistics.

By the way, they looked very very good last night... I can't say I'm not concerned!!!

I hope everyone picks the Ducks over the Wings... The "favored" team usually stinks in the playoffs. Or at least that is how it's been when the Red Wings are favored.

I'd love to see a Sen's / Wing's stanley cup finals!

 

[kmterrill]

Lets Go Red Wings!!!

Anyone watch the Buffalo game???

Anyone watch the Buffalo game???

Nope. Busy watching the Pistons put the Bulls down 3-0...

 

[Ozz]

Naturally. And they got stomped.

 

[srothfuss]

Yup, I saw it too... Great game - the Sen's almost gave up at the end

Right now, Detroit is up 1 - 0 on the Duck's. 2nd period starts soon!

Crazy goals w/the Wings/Ducks last night. 1-1 now.

This is going to be one hell of a series. The teams are playing very close right now. That was such an exciting game yesterday. I can't wait to see the outcome of this series. Whoever wins should go on to win the cup.

How about Buffalo??? Going down 2-0 already. They have a big hill to climb.

 

[Ozz]

I had a feeling the Sens would take them, and so far it's proving correct

 

[Matt's 03 GT]

The Sen's sure look good so far. I don't watch much east coast hockey through the season, but for all the talk about Buffalo's speed, I think the Sen's look faster. Tonights game will be very interesting. It is a must win for Buffalo on the road... we will see how much heart this young team really has!!!

There only chance is to win both games in Ottawa and come home tied 2-2... otherwise I am afraid its over.

i threw something at the TV when buffalo scored with 6 seconds left lol. luckily they came back and won it in double overtime.

 

[srothfuss]

Looks like the Sen's are going to steam roll buffalo right back to another "almost" year. If the wings can't get past the Ducks, I'd like very much for the Sen's to take the cup home with them.

 

[TheDamned]

Sens in 4 ?

 

[Matt's 03 GT]

You don't see many sweeps in the conference finals... but we sure might this year! I am sad to see Buffalo go down in such a heap. Ottawa sure looks good and will make the finals very interesting.

Go Ducks tonight!!!

 

[88_GT_5_oh]

woooo hoooo GO SENS

 

[srothfuss]

Ahem! (nuff said)

 

[kmterrill]

Pronger suspended for Game 4 for his hit on Homer...

 

[Ozz]

I want the Wings all the way, but that's too bad. Poor Ducks. The hit wasn't intentionally evil, it just ended up that way. Wasn't t it Neidermeyer who had his hands up anyway (and subsequently knocked the helmetless Homer into the boards?) If anything I would've suspected him to be tossed like he was in the game. Or was it the other way around? I can't remember. I was reeeeeeeeally hoping Homer would come back and net the hat trick after that, though!

Besides, the Ducks need all the help they can get after last night
