HEY THE ISLANDERS HAVE ONLY BEEN IN THE LEAGUE SINCE 1973 AND HAVE WON 4 CUPS TO NONE FOR BOSTON AND CHICAGO COMBINED IN THAT TIME. YOU CAN THROW TORONTO IN THAT MIX AS WELL AND THE RANGERS HAVE ONLY ONE ONE.
(SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST).
SOY, DO YOU THINK THE ISLANDERS SHOULD STILL PICK TAVARES? THE OTHER TWO SEEM TO BE PICKING UP STEAM. I STILL WANT/NEED THE GOAL SCORER.

SO DID I. I THOUGHT THEY HAD THE BEST CHANCE OF BEATING DETROIT. OH WELL. GAMES WILL STILL BE MUCH FUN TO WATCH.
BUT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR. "LET'S GO ISLANDERS" "LET'S GO ISLANDERS" WE GET TAVARES AND ONE GOOD FREE AGENT SCORER AND I LIKE OUR CHANCES.
I LIKE THE WAY YOU FIT THOSE PRIEST LYRICS INTO YOUR COMMENT. "TAKE IT ALL, TAKE IT ALL THE WAY.

Hey Ron! That's some food for thought!! Here's my opinion...
I think the teams with experience know how to handle the longer series
that can come along. Poss. 7 gms each roound! I don't think it would taint the Cup
if a lower seeded team wins, I notice each year that you hear a lot of the same names
that have won cups before are now on teams in the hunt this year. As with NFL this past
year ( Cardinals ??) I think teams can get hot but the longer series shows the truly better
team. "IMO" I agree the Wings are the best on paper in the west but they have to play the
games!! Look at Pitt vs. Caps ?? Pitt had the experience and took that game away in 1 period.
Just my opin and I too am enjojing these playoffs!!
later...

...So here's a general question that I'd like some opinion on...the Sharks won the Presidents trophy by way of having the most points in the regular season, but were bounced in the 1st round...does that eliminate them from being the best team in the NHL as they will not win the Stanley Cup this year? The reason I ask is that I think Detroit is the best team in the West still in the playoffs, if they lose to the Ducks, will that 'cheapen' the series with the Hawks?? I think the answer is more easily answered in some of the other sports (ie MLB has only a 5 game opening series to start the first round and the NFL games are all one and done, so whichever team is 'hot' on that day may not necessarily be the best team)...does the same logic apply here in the NHL?? |

CHARA WITH THE PUCK, SKATES PAST THE DEFENSIVE LINE.. PAST THE LINEBACKERS ... TO THE 40-THE 30-10- TOUCH GOAL.
BOSTON WILL NOW KICK THE PUCK OFF TO CAROLINA. OVER THE GLASS FOR AND ICEINGBACK.

Well, with the Red Wings loss last night, the Hawks will get a few extra days of rest, which they really need...I can't quite remember, but I think they only had 1 or 2 days off between the 1st and 2nd rounds...

true, but they look like they have a good young core. that typicaly stays, unless people do stupid things
whoever they play, I hope they do well.

I'm torn between who to root for tonight...Detroit took it to us the first 4 games and we took the last two, but the Wings didn't need those games as the Hawks did need them...I'm not scared of the Ducks (1-1 away and 2-0 @ home), but they did knock SJ out and have a game 7 @ Wings...what I'm torn between is home ice advantage and the chance to play against the best team in the West, and they would have home ice...Yes, I want the Hawks to win, but if they do, I'd like it to be done against the best...I know, I'm crazy

These next 2 days are have 3 game 7's...the ride is just getting good!!!

Reality and (recent) history have shown that it's hard to keep a good team together, the NHL is no different from the other 3 in that respect, although to a lesser degree in MLB...in the playoffs, only 1 team ends their season with a win, so I'm just gonna enjoy the ride for however long it last's, I'm not greedy, I'll take each season as it comes...but the Hawks have, this year, exceeded most (if not all) expectations already, I don't think that they're feeling any pressure whatsoever, and that has it's own advantages (and is dangerous!!)...
