NHL Playoff picks 2009

**dg806** · 06-01-2009, 01:11 PM

I actually thought Pitt outplayed Detroit last night. They just can't get the puck past osgood. Good games.

**I Are Baboon** · 06-01-2009, 01:44 PM

Detroit plays a flawless game. They don't make mistakes, and any mistakes their opponents make get turned into goals. Pittsburgh will have to play a perfect game to beat them and I don't know if they have it in them.

Sure Detroit got a little lucky when Pittsburgh hit the post twice, but no team ever won the Cup without getting lucky once or twice during the course of the playoffs.

seriously? you'd think Bettman would have some say in it??

Pittsburgh's in tough now (if they weren't before). can't let Detroit get any at the Igloo, but that's easier said than done.

Weird series so far. The team who dominates the game loses.

Last night I would say period 1 was even. 2 Went to Detroit (but no score)and 3 to Pitt. The difference last night was that Pitt was able to capitalize on a couple mistakes where in game 1 and 2 they did not.
How about the six men on for Pitt for 21 secs? That was wild no one noticed.

Pens tie the seriews up!!!!!!!! yeah baby!

LETS GO PENS!!!!!

**dg806** · 06-05-2009, 11:40 AM

Yep, it's on now.
Pitt was quick last night and it showed. They totally dominated the 2nd period. They scored on a Detroit power play and Detroit did not even have a shot on goal during the power play. That was the turning point.

**I Are Baboon** · 06-05-2009, 03:56 PM

Damn, Detroit got whipped last night.

**IainDaniel** · 06-05-2009, 04:02 PM

Zetterberg looked tired.

HOOPIE · 06-05-2009, 08:35 PM

Detroit looked tired....

**dg806** · 06-10-2009, 10:05 AM

Game 7!!!!
It think it's going to be very tough for Pitt to win in Detroit. Looking forward to it though.

**IainDaniel** · 06-10-2009, 10:24 AM

Yep interesting series to say the least.

Detroit won in Pitts last year.

Maybe Pitts can win in Detroit this year.

**dg806** · 06-12-2009, 03:50 PM

It's on tonight!!!!

HOOPIE · 06-12-2009, 10:02 PM

Wahooooooooooo!!!!!

Pens Win!!!!!!!!!

Pens Win!!!!!!!!!!

Scarface30 · 06-13-2009, 09:25 AM

Pittsburgh played 2 solid periods, they were always quick on the puck when/if Fleury let out a rebound, which was really good. and Talbot was forechecking like a madman.

3rd wasn't so hot, Detroit finally started to play Detroit-hockey. although Fleury stood on his head and made a monster save with 3 seconds left or so on Lidstrom.

good to see the Pens win

**dg806** · 06-14-2009, 02:47 PM

I knew Pitt could do it after watching them against the canes. But Detroit's O & D really made it go to the wire. Both teams really deserved to win. Other than the one blowout, it was a good series.

**I Are Baboon** · 06-14-2009, 04:18 PM

Impressive showing by the Pens, taking 4 of the last 5 of the series. Well done...they deserved it. Congrats to the Pens and their fans (all gay, btw).

How much is Marian Hossa second guessing himself right now?

I heard the Red Wings thought he was exceptional at picking up the soap in that showers after the game.

**dg806** · 06-15-2009, 03:18 PM

When Hossa played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Wings beat them. When he played for the Wings, the Penguins beat him. He keeps getting run over.
He has good stats though. Just didn't perform up to expectations.

yeah, that's the problem. good stats will only get ya so far.

**IainDaniel** · 06-15-2009, 08:24 PM

except he did shit in the playoffs this year/.

**dg806** · 06-16-2009, 10:23 AM

Honestly, Crosby only scored 1 goal during the playoffs and didn't really do much. I think Malkin is turning into an awesome player. He killed Carolina big time.

Crosby only scored one goal during the playoffs? Only one during the Stanley cup yes.

However Detroit had home ice advantage and threw out Zetterberg everytime to shadow him.

Crosby is a better all around player. Great on the faceoffs and in the defensive end, the same can not be said for Malkin. Malkin does have some mad offensive skills though.

**dg806** · 07-01-2009, 03:42 PM

Hossa traded to the blackhawks!

Yes I meant the Cup finals, not playoffs.
