Hey gphi2k, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for the Leafs. I'm a Yank, but I lived in Canada for three years when I was a kid, in a town called Oshawa, not that far from Toronto. I think your chances were a lot better before Sundin got hurt. Also, I'm not sure that Cujo has the stuff it takes to get you where you want to go. Any goaltender can get hot, but given his history, I'm not looking for it to happen. You never know, though. Before this season, there was no reason to think that Jose Theodore was capable of coming up big like he has for the Habs. Let's put it this way, if the Leafs can pull it off, I won't be dissapointed. Surprised maybe, but not dissappointed. If nothing else, I'm just happy to see three out of the four teams left in the East be Canadian. The game belongs to you guys. It would be great to see the Cup given to a Canadian team.

Well, I'm only rooting for them by default, but I'd still like to see them beat the Avs!

I would have much preferred to see The Wings stick with Chris Osgood. Plus, the Wings are getting awfully long in the tooth. They are great players, but I have to wonder if Stevie Y, Chelios et al have the stamina to make the run all the way to the Cup. The best thing that could happen to help their chances would be a quick end to the St. Louis series to give some of the old bodies time to heal up.
Hi G-Tom...I don't necessarily think it's that Dom isn't that great in the playoffs, it's that a goaltender can't win the game by himself. Dom has a lot more support with a team like the Wings. Also, rest is good...but too much rest could be a disaster.

Yeah!! Ottawa just kicked TO's ass :)

Another shut out for Lalime

LeslieAGD 05-02-2002 10:17 PM

Man, Ottawa mopped the floor with Toronto...every time I tuned in, Ottawa was on a power play!

So... YEAH WINGS!!! http://www.plaudersmilies.de/party/yelclap.gif
In the first period I was a little worried that they weren't quite playing up to their playoff standard, but they totally picked up towards the end of the second period. Detroit and St. Louis both play pretty clean games...very little slashing and heavy hits on the boards. The game was called pretty well, but the only thing I didn't like was that St. Louis makes a run for our goalie, they've got six guys beating up our five, and somehow we come up with the penalty...wtf is that about?

Yeah Les, did you see how mad Shanahan was while on the bench. I am sure he wanted to get his hands on Tkatchuk for the charge at Hasek.

It could have easily been St. Louis' game, they missed a lot of open net shots tonight. Hopefully Hasek will do a little better on not offering them during the next game.

LeslieAGD 05-04-2002 09:50 AM

Yeah Carolina! Last night's game was very exciting! Both teams came out with major "zip," almost as if they were playing game seven instead of game one. (Go Aaron Ward!)

I need to don my Maltby jersey and get ready for today's Wings game! http://www.plaudersmilies.de/rotwerd.gif

LeslieAGD 05-05-2002 09:38 AM

Yeah Wings (again)! http://www.plaudersmilies.de/party/yelclap.gif

I can't believe the Ottawa-Toronto game went into triple overtime and that Colorado beat the Sharks 8-2! :eek:

NeonPi 05-05-2002 10:02 AM

GO BLUE AND WHITE!!!

AWESOME GAME!!

Hope the Habs can win tonight ....

Siobhan 05-05-2002 01:28 PM

Did not like the scores last night... however triple overtime between TO and Ottawa was cool.


Go Sens! Go Canadiens!

chscrew144 05-05-2002 01:48 PM

leafs win
 
if they make it past the sens its gonna be a full fledged riot time here. Hope ottawa beats em tho.. beat em 5-0 in game 1 nand it took the leafs a long time to win game 2.. thinking all players inovolved are tired

surprsied leafs didnt use last line of defence (gotta love puns)

Thrillhouse 05-05-2002 11:34 PM

That toronto and ottawa game was amazing. That series could very well go 7 games.

Delta_theta 05-07-2002 01:26 AM

All I have to say is the Wings are taking it all this year.

I don't think I need to list the reasons why! I just hope we don't get over confident at all.... (knocks on wood)

Good win boys.

LeslieAGD 05-07-2002 08:21 AM

Right now it looks like every series except the Wings/St. Louis has a likelyhood of running til game seven.
