Re: The Official NHL Playoffs Thread
[ QUOTE ]
rangers fans love cheering after losses nowadays - and i bet some of these clowns cheering are the same people who boo a-rod. seriously when did putting an effort become ovation worthy? i mean the attitude of my fellow devils fans disgusts me too, but rangers fans treat their team like they're members of the special olympics these days [/ QUOTE ] Wow, just wow. Their fans make a classy gesture, celebrating a team that left it all out there. They played probably about as well as they could have against a great Sabres team and seriously almost stole that series. You can't tell me a single Sabres fan wasn't at least a bit scared during game 5. Cheering for them is an awesome gesture and you're a terrible Hater for your comment. |

[/ QUOTE ] i guess you're right - i'm just thinking back to last year when the fans gave an ovation for getting swept out of the playoffs by their biggest rival. this one makes a lot more sense - the rangers did play some terrific hockey in this series and almost stole it. |

[ QUOTE ] sabres have really not had it all postseason - the senators really cut through NJ. i think it will be a much closer matchup than last year - also ottawa doesn't have that overrated pilon chara. [/ QUOTE ] No doubt. It's going to be very close, and the better goalie will make the difference, which is why I like Buffalo's chances. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah me too. I think a lot of the stuff about Ottowa being better this year is very results-oriented - nobody thought they were vulnerable before the Sabres series. Buffalo's expectations last year were not nearly as high, so they weren't scrutinized nearly as much when they lost a couple games in Philly. Of course the series is likely to go more than 5 games - every game last year was extremely close. |

[/ QUOTE ] That team was picked to finish dead last in the Eastern Conference heading into last season. After making the playoffs for the first time in 8 years, that was shocking enough and something that the fans could be happy with. |

[/ QUOTE ] by one dummy SI writer - there was no way that team was finishing dead last in the NHL. I still don't ever see myself giving standing Os to a team in that situation, but I guess I wasn't paying to see the tripe the Rangers trotted out there for so many years. |

Re: The Official NHL Playoffs Thread
GJ Refs... another bogus penalty. I've never seen that happen before. Markov gets a high-stick, play goes on for another minute. Then a double-minor gets called on Thornton. ?!?!?!
I've seen hundreds of games... that never gets called. Even when players are missing teeth. I'm all for penalty-reviews, etc.... but KEEP IT CONSISTENT. Almost every penalty tonight had been delayed by like 20 seconds. |
