Then you might understand why I didn't want any extra frustration!

      Perhaps. My "Penguins in 4" jinx seems to have worked.

        Definitely picked a bad couple days to be away from the forums. Assuming the Flyers complete the comeback or Boston wins in dramatic fashion, do these go down as the best two rounds to start an NHL postseason ever? Seems like there have been compelling games and story lines in every series.

As solid and smart defensively as the Habs were, nothing short of outstanding goaltending would've won either of those two series.
          You beat me to the punch on that one...and right-on.

          Also, I think the elimination of the two-line pass after the 2005 CBA has largely neutralized the neutral zone trap as an effective strategy (although it's still possible to do a sort of left-wing lock type defense).

              Well yea, there's a polar opposite example like Ben, but the guy's 22 and just moving out of Mario's basement! Funny stuff.

              Think he'll still go back to do his laundry? :wink:

              I'm salivating at the thought of an Original-Six SC Final. Would be awesome.

                  I was expecting great hockey from both teams for each game. Instead, both teams took turns mailing it in. Very strange.

                  The Final 4 should be entertaining as all 5 teams left have a nice shine to them.
                  I have a soft-spot for both the Bruins and Hawks, but I'll be excited for any team that wins the Cup.
                  I hate how the Wings are out, but at least now I can just sit and enjoy the hockey left without being stressed out.

                  Good luck to the remaining 5.
                  You are a lucky dude. This crap is not fun. I stress out way too much. I am not happy about that at all. I ****ing hate sports. But I can't give it up! Please help me.

                    True, that was a great safety net for Sid, but now it is time to take that first step in to manhood and get his own house and stand on his on to feet so to speak.

                      I did not realize you guys had 121 points. WOW, that is bad to have that great of a season and get knocked out the first round. I can totally relate with that last year. But still wow.

                        In one post you say Crosby needs to step into manhood and in the next you take a cheap shot at the person who was trying to make that point. You one up yourself everyday....

                          Take all that back, that is not why I was hurt, it was the original 6 comment he made. I want the Sharks to go. So I was hurt with him wanting to see the Hawks go.

                            Also even though this is not what I meant when I quoted Tyler. But mine was real about Sid becoming a man. He is only 22 and it is a good time to start living on his own. His was a dig on Sid. Mine was legit.

                              Boston is buzzing. If Philly scores next we could see overtime.

                                What a pass by Wideman. The question for Boston fans has to be: Where was this the last three games?
