The main reason im going with the Flames is because of their defensemen and of course Kiprusoff. The Flames dont have that physical punch in the 3rd and 4th lines like they've had in the past, Nilson definitely needs to sit in favor of Ritchie or McCarty...if he's up to snuff.

Your avatar makes me have to keep looking over my shoulder to make sure no one's in the room while its on the screen.

Yeah Durbin was junk, I dont think he should be given another start. But at the same time, I dont want Miner either. He had his hot start and that was it, longterm i dont see much in him anymore as a starter. He'll come up, post a 4.9 - 5.10 ERA...whats the point? If they really dont wanna bring up Miller now, I'd rather give Jordin Tata a look up here as a starter, or even Jair Jurrjens down in Erie.

Vokoun's Save% was .925, Mason's was .920 That is mind bogglingly good.. I think they'll need Vokoun to be the guy though

Also, dont follow this famous newbie workout: Day 1 - Bench press and biceps curl Day2- off Day 3- Bench press and biceps curl Day 4 - off Day 5- you guessed it...Bench press and biceps curl!

So can we make this like the official playoff prediction thread? I know we have seperate prediction threads for some individual series', but i dont see one for the entire playoffs. WEST (8)Flames over (1)Wings in 6 (2)Ducks over (7)Wild in 5 (3)Canucks over (6)Stars in 7 (5)Sharks over (4)Preds in 6 (2)Ducks over Flames(8) in 5 (5)Sharks over (3)Canucks in 5 (2)Ducks over (5) Sharks in 7 EAST (1)Sabres over Islanders (8) in 4 (2)Devils over (7) Lightning in 7 (6)Rangers over (3) Thrashers in 6 (5)Penguins over (4)Senators in 6 (1)Sabres over (6)Rangers in 4 (5)Penguins over (2)Devils in 7 (the one ill probably regret...) (5)Penguins over (1)Sabres in 7 FINALS Ducks over Penguins in 5 Ive been thinking Jersey in the Finals for months, but im pulling a flip flop. I think it may have a little to do with being mildly annoyed that they sent down Cam Janssen Yeah im going out on a big limb with the Pens but what the hell, they dont have great D or goaltending, but hey if Cam Ward can get hot why not Fleury. I have them running out of gas in the Finals.

I'd like to offer my services to taze any violator

Sharks in 6 All i know is im hoping for some blowout games, this series has alot of potential for some 3rd period nastiness with the likes of Tootoo, Bell, Clowe, Weber, etc. On paper, I do like what Nashville brings for the playoffs. But this has more to do with me just really liking the Sharks to make it to the Conf finals.

Im also going Calgary in 6. However, im not nearly as confident in this pick as i was in 04 or wouldve been last season had they met. The Flames havent been the same physically this year, and they'll need to dial that back up. Im saying they will, and after the series people will be pointing alot of fingers at Schneider and Chelios as being significant reasons for the loss.

Brodeur is supposed to be sitting this one out. Now the Isles will win and we'll get the hear the Leafs whine about a "conspiracy".

Yeah but i actually picked Edmonton to go to the conference finals! You could definitely see something there with that team even though they were an 8th seed, but the Leafs? Nah. Especially with Raycroft in net? No way they can stop Buffalo. They're junk.

There was also a poll in Finland over who was the best goaltender in the NHL. They picked Kiprusoff...oh my god IMAGINE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Leafs get in i'd be stunned if they won one game. That series has sweep written all over it.

Not that i care about the matchup, but im pretty confident in saying the Rangers will beat the Thrashers. (and subsequently lose in rd 2 of course) SJ/Nash should be pretty entertaining

What a pathetic job with the anthem...i think i could do better with laryngitis. CBC has some character named Inginla listed in the lineup, nice! I could see spelling a 4th liners name wrong, but Iginla?

Im wondering how Nashville would pull off a Trotz bobblehead, no neck... nothing to bobble on.

JWO, is that you?! I kid, I kid!

I missed the Lilja fight, I hate me!

Im glad you guys enjoyed finding him. Yeah, he's kinda got the grizzly Adams look going thanks to Microsoft paint lol, but hey its playoff time.

Lets see...a guy with the name Bertuzzi playing in one of the top ranked crime cities? Yep, that has the makings of a marketing dream to me! The Bert Uzi TM anyone? A chance to target the inner-city fans so to speak. Of course whether or not he's reloaded this offseason probably depends on whether he's firing accurately on all cylinders in the playoffs though

Yes, for Comcast. Im pretty sure it has to do with the MLB extra Innings package being on for free for the start of the baseball season...since they run on the same channels the hockey is on too.

I clicked on this by accident, but technically speaking...i did look. Its like the sun, you dont really wanna look at it but sometimes you cant help but sneak a peek.

lol my 8th grade class had to sing that years back at graduation. The jingle has kinda stuck with me in a sick sorta way.

Center Ice is on for free, I dont need you CBC!
