kings have gotten hot for sure, but i don't think they'll sweep phx. of course the howls they play in the arena get on my nerves, so i'll probably pull for la! that way i won't have to hear them in the finals...

thats funny, my wife hates the noise too. but then she is a Blackhawks fan.

my sympathies!

[slotdirt]

I can't stand hockey in warm climate cities. I hated it when Dallas cheated to win the Cup in '99, hated the freaking "Mighty" Ducks, and hated the Tampa Bay Lightning. If it hasn't snowed in your city in the last 20 years, you shouldn't have win a cup. Ergo, I'm pro-Rangers, Caps, or Devs in the finals.

and i don't know if it's hate so much as just wondering what they were thinking?! lol i'd rank it with 'rocky top' when watching U of T games. just somewhat bizarre.
and i had thought the panthers growl was ridiculous, but i think the coyote howl is worse.

and the other problem is they keep winning when everyone said they shouldnt be here.sure hear that howl alot.

I have no intention of betting 50k to show on anyone this evening.

The question for Rangers fans is: who will score the empty net goal to seal the win?

For those who are watching, enjoy the game.

As for me, I have the unenviable task of keeping Golfer sane throughout tonight.

You couldn't have picked a better team to face in a G7. The Caps have the worst history of playoff heartbreak in the sport, and maybe any sport, bar none. My only glimmer of hope is they already won a G7 on the road against the defending champions, so maybe this team is different...but I doubt it.

I'm not sure I'd be betting on an empty net goal. It is probably more like "Who will score the winner in the 4th OT?"

like they say about mutual funds, past performance is no guarantee of future results. capitals have exhibited a lot of tenacity this entire post-season. i don't expect them to go gently into that good night. if the rangers escape, they will have had to earn it.

[Danzig]

that had to be the worst power play performance in the history of hockey.

[MaTH716]

Tremendous series by both teams. Bring on the Devils!

[Danzig]

oh, well. it was fun while it lasted.

maybe next year.

go phx or la.

With the Caps, it is.

didn't figure out that ignore function yet?

yeah, we beat defending champ boston in boston in game 7, and took the #1 seed in the east to 7 as well. obviously chokers...
