Not open for further replies.
My predications :
Penguins in 6 (should be rumbling serie)
Canadiens in 5 (Strong goalies of Habs)
Red Wings in 7 (still bitter serie?)
Dallas in 5 (least serie out of four series)


Still alive on my Stanely Cup serie : Peguins vs Red Wings and Pens will hoist the Cup.
 
LOL MaxUFC.. nice prediction.. but I am hoping to hell the Avs can kick Detroit out!!! LOL blah to the Red Wings I have had enough of them.. I wanna see the Montreal Canadiens go all the way and win the Cup finally after 15 years!!!! GO HABS GO!!!
 
I'm looking forward to watch Dallas game tonight :D

I know what you mean "enough of them" like NFL fans had enough with Patriots. ;) Maybe Red Sox are next to make MLB fans to have enough with them. LOL

Yes, I likes to see any canada's NHL team in Cup serie but not that Habs as they are my Bruins's rival. Second thought, they are in our division then I can cheer once for awhile. :)
 
OK next update...

Eastern Conference

Montreal and Philadelphia are tied in the series 1-1.. with Game 3 to be played tomorrow in Philly and one has to wonder if Carey Price and the Habs can bounce back and play well enough again or will the Flyers get physical again and do it?

Pittsburgh leads NY Rangers 1 game to 0... Game 2 is being played today with Pitt leading 1-0 for start of 3rd period.. can Pittsburgh hang on or will NY roar back and force a series tie?

Western Conference

Detroit leads Colorado 2 games to 0.. holy cow the Red Wings are half way to a series sweep but will the Avs have something to say about that??

Dallas leads San Jose 1 game to 0 with Game 2 later tonite.. will the Sharks bounce back from a Game 1 3-2 overtime loss?? Or will the Stars ride hard and go up 2-0???
 
I already love your prediction!!!

Hey if true business Pens hoisted the cup, I bet you, the guy will wear his own 66 Jersey and hoist the cup after all of the players done hoisted! Wondering if you all can figure out who this guy would be... Hint, remember the Jersey with #66 on it.

Yes, that #66 is my all time idol of NHL players, Mario Lemieux. I mark Mario over Great One (unless Great One don't mind to take RW or LW) on my all time first team. :) Hint : who is Great One? Not hard to answer. :giggle:

Plus I was glad to see Penguins stays in Pittsbugh instead move to Kansas City or Las Vegas.
 
Yup, that is Mario, the magnificant! and he is the owner of Penguins and I'm sure that he will be more than thrilled to hoist the cup for the 3rd time.
 
Dallas sure give damage at San Jose's roof. heh.
2-0. Hello Star team has return to home and play our roof.

The Great One would be Wayne Gretzky of Edmonton Oiler fame, and he later played for the Los Angeles Kings, then St. Louis Blues and finally New York Rangers.. he now is coach of the Phoenix Coyotes (which happen to be my old beloved Winnipeg Jets!!!!) and I beleive Wayne is part owner as well...

Yeah good thing the Penguins didnt go to Kansas City or Las Vegas..the Penguins will have a new arena to be ready by 2010-11 season I believe.. it orginally was to be ready for 2009-10 but was pushed up due to constructoin issues (weather problems and others)....... also the Penguins were supposed to go to Winnipeg (no joke!!!) as we do have the new arena here....maybe one day we will welcome the NHL back to Winnipeg but we can do with the AHL Manitoba Moose!!!
 
Flyers could have 3-0 by now, they better be beat Habs on tmw
 
LOL Farewall... I think Montreal will bounce back for Game 4.. beside, Philly leads 2 games to 1... somehow the Habs will bounce back like they did vs Boston in round 1... we'll see about this....

Yes, Winnipeg or Quebec deserve NHL team back due best fans that I saw ... I remmy whole of Jets / Nords fans wore white shirt to support their teams against oppisite during playoffs. I didn't mind Whalers moved out of Hartford cuz of fans were not strong fan base of NHL...but felt sick to see them to win The Cup ... not about fans ... it was about greedy owners who asked too much to state of CT after they gave Whalers owners tensomething million dollars to help their finance out. Unfontunaley that was about business is business.

I don't think there will be new expanion team for next ten years what NHL comissioner say no more expansion teams for at least 5-10 years expect the team(s) move to another city

Nashville had been mention about selling their team last year.

I knows Bruins will never move to another city or would be riot since Marice "The Rocket" Richard's riot over his suspensed for rest of playoffs after he punched ref during Habs vs Bruins brawl with few regular games lefts. Evenflly, he was back to lead his Habs to win The Cup five in a row before he retired.

I guess you might watch "The Rocket" : Legend of Marice Richard" movie, NS?. "The Rocket" Richard was really s.o.b. tough but greatest player while he was NHL's target all years. He is Montrealers' "God" behind their Notre Dame Church (largerst church in North American).

BTW, which hockey movies what you think at best. I thought "Slap Shot" and "Miracle" were great hockey movie. "Youngblood" was good. "Slap Shot 2" was awful. "Mystery, Alaska" was fun to watch.

Hockey movies list : Hockey Movies : Movies About Ice Hockey : List of Hockey Movies ... I will check them out to see if they got in my Netflix.

Well yes Winnipeg and Quebec City deserves to have NHL teams back there...Winnipeg do have an advantage over QC... that is the new arena already built ... if QC can get a new arena to replace the Colisee then all would be good.... yeah no expansion for a long while unless there is relocation issues... I wonder what if Nashville had lost the Predators? That would have been something..... I bet the Florida Panthers might be mentioned on the move as well as the Atlanta Thrashers... who else might be mentioned for moving? That would be interesting....

Ya wont have to worry about the Boston Bruins moving as I dont think the NHL would be happy to see that happen and beside, the Bruins are one of the 6 Original teams and that they have a lot of traditional rivalries with Montreal, NY Rangers, Toronto, Detroit and Chicago but have other rivalries that have been built up over the years with Buffalo, Pittsburgh and others...

As for the movie "The Rocket" I did rent the movie and was impressed with how everything had gone on back in the 1950s with Richards coming up and then leading the Habs to Stanley Cups and yes that now imfamous Montreal riots during the 1954/55 season....Maurice was the idol of all Quebeckers and French populations as well... and enemies of the English groups as well as the NHL president Clarence Campbell... and more.... but I do respect the Rocket for what he has done over the years... did ya know the Rocket was originally the first coach of the WHA Quebec Nordiques?? For only 2 games and then he quit!!! wow.....amazing eh...

I have seen the original "Slap Shot" and that was hilarious as ever.. the 2nd SS movie I have on tape but havent seen completely.. will let ya know what I think of that 2nd movie.....and "Miracle", I have on dvd and watched it all and was impressed as well.... I think I saw "Youngblood" but cant remmy if it was on tv or rented... "Mystery, Alaska", I havent seen at all but will have to find a dvd movie to rent and watch and see for myself.....

One more thing.. I do have a autographed glossy picture of Wayne Gretzky sent to me when I wrote a letter to him years ago while he was with the LA Kings... it is a priceless one for me to keep after all these years..and I do have an autoographed Teemu Selanne (Winnipeg Jets) card as well autographed Randy Gregg card (he was a doc in the offseason and one of my sister in law's young sister used to be secretary for Dr Gregg in Edmonton!!) and a few other things....heh...
 
Gee, NY ranger is trying too hard to beat Penguins! Unbelieveable, Penguins hit 5 out of only 17 attempts shot on goal while NY Ranger made only 3 out of 39 attempts shot on goal!

NY ranger is now on brink of elimination, Next few games will only tell... NY Ranger MUST win next 4 games or kiss it good bye.

Penguins still rocks!

Yeah I was speechless when Pittsburgh scored 3 goals in a row and then Ne York scored to tie Pitt and then bam Pitt score the last 2 goals to win... wow I wonder how the Rangers will fare on Thursday?? HMM I bet Pittsburgh will ensure they do the sweeping fast enough and rest up somehow....

Yeah.. gotta wait and see how Montreal bounces back.. and I heard Philly fans are rowdy as ever eh? I bet the Habs will have to score fast to silence the orange rabid Philly fans and win Game 4 tonite? that remains to be seen..
 
last night was amazing for Stars' comeback and victory in OT and they can end San Jose by tonight by sweep
