ExiledInIllinois Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I'm a sad Panda I feel for you Dante... I like the Sharks too! Just not over the 'Hawks! Just seems like Quenneville has the Chicago team clicking... A good coach that may finally get of the schnide (when he is not off the booze! )!

As far as game 3 goes no issues with the Sharks as they gave themselves a shot. sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be really surprised if Philly (or the Habs) actually make a series of it or win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you're definitely right about the Habs....we've shut the fuggers out in 3 of the first 4 games of the series IT'S OUR YEAR, BABY!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOO!!!!!

meazza Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 2006. 2007. There were more talented teams than CAR and ANA those years. So you could only pull out 2 examples? It's nice to see one of the underdog teams get far in the playoffs and do well because you know they pushed themselves much more than the "talented" teams. Of course it's amazing how you could say that only the Hawks have a lot of talent. Philly has plenty of strong players but that's overshadowed with their lack of goaltender who somehow has been possessed with the ghost of Ken Dryden.

Spun Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I was hoping for more competive series in this round. Philly doesn't sit around and let their goalie do the work. The Flyer defense wastes little time with their breakouts. Chicago has a rope-a-dope style in which they sustain some pressure for a while and when an opportunity comes up they capitalize. The winning goal for Chicago in Game Five was due to a lack of concentration by the Sharks defense and ultimately Nabokov. I don't know what happened to the Habs in yesterdays second period, they looked tired and unable to keep up. I want both the Sharks and Habs to wake up and give us seven games and hopefully some OT. More hockey please, before we settle into summer. I thought both Carolina nd Anaheim had very good defensive teams that got by offensively. Neither was flashy and fun to watch but they won. I was happy the Ducks took down the Senators. I am still happy about that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hockey NIGHT in Canada Buttman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Sorta. Except in hockey it is a little more heavy on talent to win. Talent always rises to the top. IMO, hockey... Moreso than other games, coaching and motivation can overcome talent more. Baseball is next. There is a certain amount of luck to the game too. What gets me about playoff hockey is the coaching... Sometimes it appears coaches are too timid and don't open the throttle enough... That is what usually burns them. NHL hockey if they want to play 5 on 5 really needs to make the ice surface bigger! Football & basketball really don't come close to hockey & baseball wrt % of luck involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Nice assist by Kane. Bigger assist by the ref. Bad call. If the play is flagrant then make the call. Otherwise, stay the hell out of it. Hawks had a nice comeback and the Sharks ran out of gas in the third. Nice face Duncan Teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Keep rolling your eyes. You might actually make some sense one day. I am sure making sense calling out which team is going to win. If I am wrong, I will face the music. For now I am right and you can't stand it... Can you... Prove me wrong Habs... Just prove me wrong! Oh... Who do you think is going to be in the NBA Finals?

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Football & basketball really don't come close to hockey & baseball wrt % of luck involved. Exactly! That is why I mentioned the two. On another note... What is it with NHL playoff coaching... It is almost like most coaches have a "governor" installed on their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, the game of NHL hockey is all subjective when it comes to who has the best talent. Every team has the ability to win. Get rid of the farce they call the regular season and put everybody into a tourney right off the bat... And there would be a ton of surprises (more so than other leagues/games).

THis is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The Bills beat the Jets last year. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies this year. The Boston Celtics lost to the Indiana Pacers this year. So, tell me again how this differs? It's funny that the people that have no clue about hockey are the one's that spout off stuff that rarely happens in the playoffs. Mostly because, you really only watch it when it pertains to you.....which is no biggie...........just don't act like you know the game more than that.
