The NHL Playoff Thread

[CFH]

After the first games of the semi-finals, Conference Championships, it now stands at:

Pens 1-0 With a 3-2 win over Carolina. Fleury played an amazing game coming up huge on numerous occasions to secure the opening win. Crosby is still on top of his game, but the team will need to work on giving up the puck and stupid mistakes if they want this drive to be successful. Bit boring to watch after the Caps series, but again, it is only game 1.

Det 1-0 With a 5-2 opening win over the Hawks. Detroit looks strong and should easily be favored in not only this series, but to take it all. This is the playoffs tho, so who knows, anything can happen.

I'm still not sold on Fleury (maybe it's his dirty-frenchman style facial hair, I dunno), but he's slowly winning me over. He reminds me a bit of Grant Fuhr in that his numbers may not be spectacular and he may let in some bad goals, but when the game is on the line he makes the save the needs to be made.

The Canucks loss has me feeling apathetic regarding hockey. Go Wings. I want to see a rematch. I wonder if Hossa will sign with the Pens if they win this time.

The Pens are through to the finals after sweeping Lyle's beloved Hurricanes. I hope Detroit smokes them again in the rematch.

I have to say, if the Pens can keep up the tempo and work together as a team, as they are...they have a real shot at taking the wings down. They are underdogs, no question, but are firing on all cylinders. Should be a great final!

Go PENS!

For some reason, CFH isn't keeping this thread updated.

Oh well, I suppose I must then.

The series is currently 2-1 in favor of the Red Wings, with the PENS pulling out a 4-2 win 2 nights ago. Game is about to start here in a few minutes. This is an absolute must win game for Pittsburg in this best of 7 finals. Detroit is just too strong of a team for me to see them making a comeback after a loss tonite. So it is pretty much all on the line I believe.

Go PENS!

What Theeee Fuck is Bill Geurin doing? Bench that stupid old fart! Standing in front of his own net screening his own goalie, like he's supposed to be doing at the other end? Gotfukkindammit.

Det 2 Pens 1 after the Pens opened the scoring...
