Yeah, go ahead and laugh now but remember, you're not playing the Islander's this time either.

That's true. The Islanders were tough, Flyers weren't. The Sens didn't have to do much to out muscle the Flyers, they will against the Leafs.
Whoever comes out of the East will be a bloody mess and will probably not compete against the West. Not because of skill level but because they'll be so beat up. Do they even hit west of Detroit?

damn I couldn't believe how bad a beating the Sens dished out tonight. caught me off gaurd.


Posted by: mmafiter

Good Lord! The Leafs better reach down and pull up thier pants after the buttf@cking they took for three periods!

You can really see how beat up they are, but I think they will pull through.

What the hell happened to Toronto last night!? WOOOOW!

I hate the Blues. HATE HATE HATE. They are a bunch of cheap, dirty, HACKS. What's with the run Keith Tkachuck put on Dominik Hasek with less than a minute left? What a bunch of pussies.

GO LEAFS GO!
Well looks like I nailed that, to bad.
Basicly it was a 0-0 game after 24 mins. I don't think the Sens have been hit so hard so often (nothing like playing the Flyers is it boys). By the third period they had their heads on a swivel. The Leafs had more scoring chances in the third than the Flyers had in 5 games.
Now onto Sat. The Leafs will win 3-1. Boy could we use Sundin right about now. Oh well they beat a tough Islanders team without him and will have to do the same with the Sens.
GO LEAFS GO!

oh come on, that was hardly a run. If you watch the replay you will see that he barely made contact with him and that hasek is the worlds biggest flopper.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

Barely a run?? He want a Hasek full steam. Good thing for Hasek Keith Tkachuk just has bad aim. It doesn't matter. Tkachuk is so brittle, he'll probably injure himself soon and miss the rest of the playoffs.

Posted by: digger1

The Leafs are playing on heart, guts and balls. They're beat up, hurt and exhausted, and still they just keep on coming. Even without, their top deffenceman and forward they're giving a well rested Ottawa team all they can handle.
Now you've seen why Cujo is THE #1 goalie in the world. 54 stops, 21 in ot alone. It's going to be tough in Ottawa but a split gives homeice back to the Leafs.
GO LEAFS GO!

You're exatly correct, he was tripped. If he wasn't he would have run into Lalime standing up. Either way Domi charged Lalime.

at least the Leafs have an excuse for not winnning, the Flyers on the other hand had none at all.

Somebody get Cujo a pacifier. WHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


Posted by: Dero

I would not be suprise if CuJo would be sitting out the next one...TO COOL OUT!!!
Tomorrow,hmmmm,in Ottawa,I think they will WIN again!!!
Yes I'm talking of Da Sens,who else?


Posted by: ALBOB

I don't know Cujo that well but I don't think sitting him would cool him out. As a matter of fact, I think it would have the opposite effect. What he needs is support. His defensemen are leaving him hanging like the Lone Ranger. But then again, I'm rooting for the Sens so screw Cujo.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

The Sens are impressing me. I thought they'd be out in five. Even more impressive are the Sharks. If they get passed Colorado, I will be a very nervous Wings fan. I fear the Sharks more than the Avs.


Posted by: Dero

But nobody is talking of Da Canadians...
Fack 'em!!!
Go Sens go!!!
Albooby you suprise me,would have thought you would cheer for Colorado!!!
Ah well,Go SENS GO!!!!


Posted by: ALBOB

I cheered for the Avs last year because I wanted Ray Borque to win a cup, that's it. He's gone and they're the defending champs so I'm obligated to cheer for their demise. The only team I'd ever want to successfully defend the cup would be the Flyers..........................They just have to win it FIRST!!!

Leafs tie the series. Bite me Dero!

Did you see that the Ottawa city council has enacted "Cujo's Law"?

May 8, 2002
OTTAWA (AP)...

Poking fun at the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Ottawa city council passed a resolution banning complaints about bad officiating inside or within 500 meters of the Corel Centre.

The mayor and all 21 councilors wore Ottawa Senators jerseys to their meeting to support the NHL team in its battle against their provincial rivals.

Later Wednesday, the Maple Leafs tied the second-round, best-of-seven series, 2-2, after a 2-1 victory in Ottawa.

As the meeting was called to order, Mayor Bob Chiarelli suspended the normal rules of order -- for which he cited ``extraordinary circumstances'' -- in order to allow Councilor Rick Chiarelli to introduce a motion declaring the perimeter of the hockey arena an official ``no-cry'' zone.

``It's called the Cujo Law,'' after Toronto goaltender Curtis Joseph, said Chiarelli. ``For the Leafs, there are two kinds of games: those they lose because of the officiating and those they win despite the officiating.''

Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman was not impressed with the motion.
``Is this an amendment to the `no fun allowed in Ottawa' bylaw?'' asked Lastman, who went on to call Ottawa ``the town that fun forgot.''

After Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson scored the winning goal in Monday's Game 3, Joseph was furious, arguing that he had been interfered with on the play. Leafs forward Darcy Tucker waved a white towel from the bench in mock surrender to the referees.

Even in Toronto, the complaining did not go over well. Columnists in both the Toronto Sun and Toronto Star blasted the Leafs for
their constant whining.

``In Toronto, the Leafs are seen as a fine blend of talent and grit, loaded with classy players,'' wrote Sun columnist Al Strachan. ``Elsewhere they are seen as an group of arrogant, whining bullies more properly ensconced in hockey's dark days of the 1970s than in the present era.''

Under the headline ``The lippy Leafs'', Toronto Star hockey columnist Damien Cox gave similar sentiments. ``But under the guidance of Pat Quinn, the Leafs have also gained the reputation as hockey's most unrelenting whiners, a group that starts bellyaching as soon as they get to the rink if their cafe lattes aren't quite hot enough,'' Cox wrote.

``It is Quinn's day-to-day complaining that defines the character of this club, and has opened the door for Darcy Tucker and Shayne Corson to be reviled throughout the sport as divers and constant bitch-artists. To a lesser extent, Tie Domi and Gary Roberts also set the tone for the Leafs many nights with
flailing-of-arms and constant carping.''

But not all the Leafs are flailing their arms. Toronto forward Alexander Mogilny thinks referees might be a little kinder to the Leafs if the team acted differently during the regular season.

``It doesn't happen overnight,'' Mogilny told reporters on Tuesday in Ottawa. ``The whole year, if you're screaming and yelling at the refs ... there's no need for that. If somebody calls you bad names, that's not respect. '`You have to have respect for the refs. They have a difficult job out there. It's not easy.''

That crash into CuJo from dat Senator was unexcusable.He should have had a unsportmanship misconduct (or whatever...)
But please don't tell me that #18 of da Buds was not waiting to see if the puck was in before PUSHING THE NET off of it's moarings(sp)!!( It was not in. )
Back into To.
Go Sens GO...
Hmmm,I'm saying Ottawa in SIX!!!


Posted by: blondie

AVS Decided to wake up and play AVS hockey!!

Series tied 2-2, going back to Colorado!!!!

Sakic & (PETER THE GREAT) Forsberg tied for most points in the playoffs!!!

That is just amazing, how forsberg didn't even play the entire regular season, and then until last night was alone at the top of the point leaders in the playoffs!!!! Talk about dedication!!!!

Then there is Blake!!!!!

During the first round I thought it was pretty petty how the LA fans boo'd Blake each time he touched the puck!!!!

AVS Fans still like their old team members, they don't boo Ricci, or Deadmarsh, or Claude Lemeux, or even Fluery!!!

AVS Fans even stopped saying that the other team SUCKS during games. (They used to chant "RED WINGS SUCK" during games to music played over the PA, but the sports columnists, & talk show hosts said that isn't what a decent teams fanbase does, so it just sort of stopped!!!)

Now does anyone else hate that damn horn that the sharks sound when they score?????

And Chris Pronger....OUT FOR THE PLAYOFFS, after getting laid out by Stevie Y!!
AHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Wow! I can't believe Montreal screwed up a 3-0 lead!

They need to stop relying on Theodore so much, there's only so much one guy can do.

Tonight Da Buds, as Dero says, are gonna beat the hell outta the Senators. Go LEAFS GO! Darcy Tucker Rules!


Posted by: digger1

Another Leaf out, Pilar is gone. It's very frustrating watching the St.Jonh's Leafs vs the Ottawa Senators. Leafs are down to their 8th and 9th stringers and still they refuse to giveup. I guess this shows 2 things 1)What a great goalie Cujo really is and 2)What a very smart coach Quinn is.
As for the whinning it's just not happening, Quinn hasn't said boo. And in fact there is a get Toronto mentality around the league right down from Betman to the on ice officals. And really how can anyone from Ottawa say anything negative about Toronto. After 5pm in Ottawa they rollup the sidewalks, and turn out the lights. The city that fun foregot. Can you say boooorrring.

GO LEAFS GO!

st louis is really going to hurt without Pronger, not only is he one of their top players he was playing 30+ minutes a game.

Just an aside note...Since when do we attack a city when we are talking of a hockey team???Just wondering?
See I could easily try to put down the city ot Toronto,butt I won't...Why bother,they do it themsellves...
BUT AS FOR DA BUDS...Hmmmm Ottawa in six!!!
That's all I have to say!!!



Posted by: mmafiter

Well the ST. John's Leafs lost 4-2, but I smell some bullshiat. Twice, Tucker was knocked out of the play by illegal moves and Ottawa scored both times. Now, I know Tucker has dished hits out, and I'm not whining about that, but the penalties should have been called, especially the last one.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

WOOOOOOW!!!!!! If I were a Leafs fan, I would be one pissed off person this morning. But I'm not, so I'm not. Speaking as a hockey fan who really doesn't care who wins this series, the Leafs got screwed last night. Not only should that have been a 5 minute major, but that hit is grounds for a suspension. How the ref didn't call it is beyond me.


Posted by: Dero

Now hold on for just one second!!!How many times have I seen DOMI put somebody through the boards and then score,or even Tucker himself and Roberts and NOT GET A PENALTY?
Need I continue?
Sure it was a rough check,are'nt they all?
It was not charging,it was not elbowing,I know,I also played hockey,been hit much harder and I've seen checks that were more inoffencif(softer) and injuries were
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worst.
There would not be any noise about this check,if it was not a deciding goal...Nobody would say anything if Alfi had not scored after it,it would have been just another routine check...!!!

The old saying for Tucker...(sorry he got injured, butt)
"You live by the sword,you die by the sword!!!"
So there!!!...
I still say Ottawa in 6!!!


BTW,I know that lots will disagree,and I will stand by what I said!
Hmmmm,let's reverse the shoe here,what would you say if Domi had done this,HUH!!!?


What can I say I'm a SENATOR's FAN!!!!
GO Sens go!!!!!
Twirling my white towel!!!!!!



Posted by: Shmoo

Hitting hard is one thing but hitting from behind is not allowed. If that was Domi it would have been a major penalty and a suspension. At the very least it should have been a minor penalty.


Posted by: Dero

The other thing, I know that Alfi will be a MARKED man.I would'nt be suprise to see him leave on a stetcher at the next game...
BTW,how is Tucker?
Send on da goons...
Butt dat is ok.
RIGHT?



Posted by: mmafiter

No, I don't think it's alright to send in the goons. I'm not even arguing about Tucker getting hurt. It's the lack of a penalty that bothers me. Like I said before; Tucker, Domi, and the others have dished it out, so they shouldn't be too suprised when they get ruffed up themselves. But it's the lack of a penalty call on the play that bugs me.

Also, everyone says that Toronto are the goons, but they're the team with all the freakin' injuries!

I really hope the St. John's Leafs can win this series, but I'm starting to have doubts due to the sheer number of injured players. You can't say that team doesn't have heart.

If it was Domi that checked Alfredsson into the boards like that, I would expect a penalty to be called on the play, at least. Particularly in Domi's case where he was suspended last year for elbowing Neidemyer (sp), I'm sure he would have been ejected from the game.

Back to the original point, if it were a Leaf player who had meted out that check, I would expect and accept the penalty.


Posted by: Shmoo

Tucker is out for the rest of the playoffs. With seven regulars out of the lineup it may be too much for the Leafs to come back in this series. If they have any chance they will need Mogilny to turn his game up to the next level.


Posted by: digger1

Alfie's hit was a dirty, cheapshot. He hit him from behind, square in the middle of the back. If that was Tucker on Alfred. Tucker would be gone, suspended. So then the samething happens to Domi and it's a penalty. Why? Because Domi was bleeding and the Ref couldn't ignor it. The Ref's initial reaction was to let it go but then he saw the blood gushing from Domi's forehead.

In the final analysis the NHL head office, and officiating staff don't want the Leafs to advance. That is plainly obvious by the one sided officiating. The NHL doesn't like the tough style the Leafs play and are doing everything to keep them out. From the League offices to the on ice officals, the Leafs have to battle everyone and they're doing it. The question is how long can they keep going with 7 regulars out? It's very frustrating watching the St. John's Leafs vs the Ottawa Senators. Another reason why Quinn is the top coach in the NHL, and guys like Martin are just greasy slimeballs.
GO LEAFS GO!



Posted by: I Are Baboon

You gotta give the Leafs all kinds of credit for pushing the series to seven games. That's going to be a hell of a game seven!!! Leafs fans should be THANKING the Ottawa guy who nailed Domi. That five minute power play is the reason the Leafs were able to win yesterday. They came up HUGE on that power play, something they desperately needed to do at that point in the game.


Posted by: dg806

All I can say is what about those CANES???


Posted by: I Are Baboon

To HELL with the Canes! They should have never left Hartford!!!!







Posted by: dg806

I'm surprised Carolina made it past the first round, much less leading the second round!


Posted by: I Are Baboon

I honestly don't see any possible way Montreal can beat them twice in a row. Hard to believe the Canes could very well be in the conference finals. They just plain SUCKED in Hartford the 20 years they were here. It would be good to see Ron Francis win a cup with that team.


Posted by: dg806

What I saw and kept up with them this year, they were pretty much off and on all year! But I guess they are getting their act together at the right time!

How right you are!!!'Did you get the license plate # of that car that hit Domi???
Yes that was indeed uncalled for and yes that stupidity was the reason the Buds won yesterday's game!!!
And I will admit that I was wrong,in calling Ottawa in 6...

SIZE. Canes are huge, Canadians are small and fast . The series against Boston and the Canes took so much out of them physically they just had nothing left. What was that stupid misconduct call against Gilmor? He slammed the pbox door and the glass broke. Is that his fault? Jackass officials in the NHL these days!

I have mixed feelings about that call. No, it's not his fault the glass was weak. But at the same time YES, it's his fault for slamming the door in the first place. He was so pissed about getting the tripping penalty (which he fully deserved) he lost his cool and slammed the pbox door. Even if the glass hadn't broken I still think he would have deserved the misconduct penalty.

Caveat: I freely admit I dis-like Doug Gilmore with a passion so the above opinion MAY..........let me re-emphasize MAY be tainted by my personal feelings.


Posted by: digger1

Yeah, it's okay to call the ref an f'n a'hole, but please don't slam the door. Good grief.

Are you kidding me? This isn't the National Volleyball League. The players in the NHL have the most filthy mouths and give it to the ref's all the time. It's embarassing when the mic's get left on and you hear what the players are saying out there.
Oh and by the way.

Congrats to the Leafs. Even with a beat up roster, they managed to survive and advance.

I pick the Hurricanes in six. They are fully healthy, and they are just plowing through their games right now.


Posted by: digger1

It all comes down to heart. Heart, grit, guts, balls. The Leafs were willing to sacrafice, to dive in front of slapshots, to be hit face first into the boards. They were willing to be champions.

They may not win Thursday, but they will win the series in 6 and advance to play Detroit in the finals.
GO LEAFS GO!


Posted by: ALBOB

Well first off CONGRATS to the Leafs. When Digger said heart, grit, guts, balls truer words have never been spoken. I don't like them but I sure as hell RESPECT them. Awesome performance throught the entire roster.

Second and last, I'm SOOOOO depressed. Last nights game just reminded me how horrible Philly did because I thought they were back on the ice but wearing Sen's jerseys.


Posted by: digger1

Thanks ALBOB. You know I was thinking the samething, "These guys beat the Flyers? How bad can Phili be?" No disrespect, but that's a hell of a payroll for such a poor performance. And now Hitchcock comes in as the 6th coach in six yrs.


Posted by: dg806

Let's go CANES! I think they will win in 6.

Let`s not forget the Leafs best offensive player Sundin will be back sometime in this series with fresh legs. The Leafs will have the edge in goaltending with Joseph, Irbe will be facing alot more shots than Montreal could muster up.

The leafs in 6 maybe 7.

Go LEAFS Go!!!!!

Well I think that the Canes will have more heart then Ottawa ever had!!!Man that team is heartless!!!
Yes I'm talking of da Sens!!!

At least those losers had more heart then those filthy heartless SENS!!!

Well everyone, it would seem that I have struck a nerve here in our friend Dero. Now, don't we all feel sorry for him and his poor Sharks. Well, just so I know I haven't offended poor Dero, I would like to take the moment to let him know that the LEAFS will win the series (maybe the cup), and that they don't need his support after all. Now, that been said...

GO LEAFS GO!


Posted by: mmafiter

Yeah! The Leafs rule! They come out of Carolina with the series tied 1-1 and best of all, most of the injured players have returned. Sundin, Domi, Tucker. Now they are gonna really kick ass.

I have to say though, I haven't seen much of Carolina before the playoff, but I'm pretty impressed with Cole. He's a damn good power forward.

Yeah, I thought it was good to see, but even better were all the jokes and great remarks made by McCarty and the other players commenting on it after the game. Pretty funny, suddenly the Detroit locker room turned into amateur night at Yuk Yuks comedy bar.

That actually scares the hell out of me. That team is hitting on all cylinders and is so relaxed they're making jokes at the post game press conferences. I don't see any other teams doing that.

I think the canes have the mo going back to toronto after the game winner in ot the other night!!

O'NEIL SHOCKS LEAFS IN OT!!!!!!!!!!!

The Canes shocked the Leafs for the second straight game in OT to win 2 to 1!!!!!!!! Man what a game! Carolina went almost 23 mins. in the 2nd and 3rd period without a shot on goal. Then they open loose and unleash 5 or 6 within several minutes. And it continued in OT when Jeff O'Neil got the winning goal! Can we believe yet????


Posted by: I Are Baboon

For the 2nd consecutive night, Baboon falls asleep in between the 3rd period and overtime!

Man, that third period last night was UGLY. It's as if all the players had their skates tied together. They were falling all over each other! Pretty sweet play by Ronnie Francis to set up the game winner. Hard to believe that guy is 5th all-time in scoring.


Posted by: dg806

Man, the way they were going at each other was awesome! No wonder they were wore out!!


Posted by: ALBOB

It was nice to see the refs let them play. Either team could have been nailed about a dozen times for roughing, hooking, etc but they let them play and what a game it turned out to be.


Posted by: tuffguy

The leafs just weren't clicking last night. I figured they would be up for the game baecause of Quinn being rushed to the hospital.

I still believe

GO LEAFS GO

I personally think that the canes our gonna beat the leafs in a game seven third overtime baby

I hope to see a game seven. there are a few of us from canada who got tickets from ticketmaster for that game

again .... GO LEAFS GO

Man! Another great game last night! Detroit won 2 to 1 in OT! What is it now with 2 TO 1 wins in ot?? Good for viewing though!!


Posted by: I Are Baboon

Good for viewing, not good for the blood pressure!

If the Wings lost that game after dominating the way they did, I would have been very depressed. It's good to know the Wings won two games with almost ZERO offense from the big guns. It's been all the 2nd and 3rd line players putting the puck in the net. If Yzerman, Fedorov, Shanahan, Robitaille, or Hull get it going, the Avs are screwed.

GO LEAFS GO!

Hey, like you said, my glass house is already in billions of tiny pieces. I can throw all the stones I want and there's nothing you can do to hurt me that MY OWN team hasn't already done.

GO CANES!!!!!


Posted by: digger1

Okay, put a fork in'em they're done, cooked, history. A good run from a team with more injuries that a MASH unit. A good run from a team who had to battle the NHL head office (Bettman) and the on ice officials. If there was a cup for guts, and balls the Leafs would win it, but there's not! So I'll wait another year, keep my blue and white blood in my veins and try to remember 67. This may be premature but to win 3 in a row, 2 in Carolina is asking to much. SO...
GO LEAFS GO!

It`s Josephs turn to shine, may the team with the hottest goaltender win.

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!

We'll see!!!

That old black magic has me in it's spell.....that old black magic makes you LEAFs do well.

Oh yeah! My little voodoo curse worked. The Hurricanes blow. Actually, the leafs should have lost, but they were saved by Joseph. If there is one thing that drives me crazy about the leafs, is that they seem to lose thier jump in the second and third periods. Cory Cross is a perfect example of this, I watch him skate like an old woman, and I'm yelling at the t.v. because I'm so pissed at his lack of effort.

Oh yeah, and Dero.........you were WRONG again! Ha ha ha


Posted by: Dero

And like I said in a previous post,no discipline...Mcabb takes a lousy penalty,does his time,comes out of the box and IMMEDIATLY
cross checks another guy...Back for ANOTHER penalty!!!
Both instants were no warranted...
No discipline!!!

There is more pressure on the Canes to win. The Leafs have played four games in this years playoffs when they had to win to stay alive, they know how to handle the pressure. When the Canes were up 3-1 in the series they were already thinking about the finals. The Leafs can and will comeback and win this series.

In the Wings and Avs series goaltending has been the difference. Roy is a money goalie and is going to be hard to beat,he has been there before and knows what it takes to win Lord Stanley.

Go Leafs GO!!!!!

Anyway us Leaf fans should stick together.

The Leafs started last nights game strong and they looked good, but then after the second half of the second period they looked tired and weren't skating. Oh well, the Leafs put on one hell of a post season show anyway. I guess I'll have to break down and cheer for.................The Canes.

I hereby nullify my previous voodoo curse on the Carolina Hurricanes.


Posted by: dg806

The Carolina Hurricanes are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!!
After O'Neill finally scored on Joseph I thought the game was over. They were 22 seconds away from victory. 22!!!!!! And Sundin had to do it! But alas, Galinas came up with his first goal of the series in overtime to finally do away with the Leafs!! They will never get past New Jersey......Haaaaaaa!! They showed em! Carolina will win the championship in 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Avs have some injuries, but their top two lines are healthy, as is Patrick Roy. It should be a great game 7!!!

What was with the Avs coach calling for the measurement on Hasek's stick last night? What a chicken shit call that was on his part. He cost his team a power play. GREAT CALL, COACH.

I think it was a good gamble. It was at the end of the period, if he gets the call it's a 5 on 3 powerplay. If he doesn't get the call, yeah Detroit gets a powerplay but not for a full 2 minutes and also, it's split up by the intermission.


Posted by: IPMC

GO WINGS...........My team is gonna win again Friday night.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

Come on! He wants to gain an advantage by checking the stick!? That's like saying "We can't find any other way to beat you today, so we're desperate and will try anything." It made the Avs coach look stupid when he was wrong.

When I used to play roller hockey, there was a rule that said every player on a team had to have the same color shinpads. If they didn't and the other team complained, it'd be a 2 minute penalty for the violating player. However, it was an unwritten rule that NOBODY complain about that. Players want to win by BEATING the other team, not by some horseshit technicality. I know this is the NHL and more is at stake, but come on. Play the damn game, Hartley, and stop being a dick.


Posted by: ALBOB

Weeeeeeeell, I agree and I disagree. I agree that there's WAAAAYYYY too much whining going on. (Thought that has been reduced significantly with the exit of the Leafs. ) Shut the f*&% up and play. I agree that Hartly was grasping at straws by trying to pull that out of his ass. I DIS-agree about whether or not he should have done it. You were right about his attitude, he'd given up hope of beating the Wings straight up so, he resorted to trickery. Hey, when it's a trip to the Stanley Cup finals at stake, I'll take winning with trickery over losing straight up any day. Call me greedy.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

I can see your point of view Albob, even though it's wrong. But seriously, Barry Melrose made a good point when he said you had better be SURE Hasek's stick is illegal if you make that call. If the Wings scored on the 4 on 4, Hartley's decision would have come under some major criticism (not that it mattered in the end).

I honestly can not remember ever seeing Scotty Bowman trying for something like that. It's more of a Mike Keenan move.

The Flyers missed everything, especially the net, and oh... about 12 million dollars is unused players salary.
I gotta go with Detroit. I can't stand Roy. Talk about whinning...
Either team will walk the Canes in 31/2 games. I say 3.5 because the Canes will throw in the towel and beg for mercey from either the Avs or the Wings. I hate that 1-2-2 trap shiat. Play the game. You guys talk about trickery, with the stick call. That whole trap-crap should be illegal. Wonder why people lose interest in hockey, teams like the Canes and Devils make it soooo boring.

No argument here but Mario wins ZERO cups without Francis feeding him or Jagr. Mario was great but he didn't do it alone.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

I believe Francis is 5th all time in scoring. Gretzky holds the single season assist record with (I believe) 163. No one else has ever scored 100. For his career, Wayne has more career assists than the 2nd all time leading scorer (Howe) has points. Mind numbing, but true.

So we can agree that Pittsburgh needed both Mario and Ronnie to win their cups.


Posted by: I Are Baboon

ALBOB, I just found it.

Career assists:

Gretzky: 1963
Francis: 1187

Francis is ranked #2 all time in assists. I did not know that!


Posted by: ALBOB

I remember them making a huge deal out of it the year he played with Philly because that was the year he took over second place. (Although I thought it was 1st.) Oh well, you learned Francis is #2 in all time assists and I learned I need to up my Alzeheimer's medication dosage.

Well, this Red Wings fan ain't worried. It's ONE game. Do you think Scotty Bowman became the NHL's all-time winningest coach by not knowing how to adjust? If Detroit can take out the Avs, they can certainly take out the Whale.

Well, I probably have to agree with ya Baboon.....but last couple of days everyone's been talking sweep........now Carolina wins game 1. Nobody expected them to get past the first round against NJ.....And they are playing better every game......no doubt, best ever. That's the first game they have won in Detroit since 1989 when they were in Hartford. I feel the Destiny!!!!!!!!!!!
Detriot is not taking Carolina lightly!


Posted by: I Are Baboon

Well being a RAMS fan, I'm now numb to the upset. If the Wings lose game 2, I'll be worried. Detroit is an experienced, veteran team loaded with future Hall of Fame players. They'll know how to rebound.

I'll be shocked if Carolina wins both in Detriot!

Man, I was just watching the video clip of last night's game winner on espn.com. As much as it sucks that the Wings lost, I find it damn near impossible to be mad at Ron Francis for scoring that goal. Why couldn't someone else have scored it so I could get pissed?

I feel your pain. As much as I like the wings, I gotta say......I've seen them play a hell of alot better hockey. They had some pretty sloppy plays.......
