NHL Playoffs 08

nice going, Pucks. But the time to bet the other way maybe coming if Price is dropped for Halak. The refs are clearly favouring the Habs and without Price present it becomes more difficult to back against that officiating imo.

IMO Halak will not take Price's job.

Also that Hatcher penalty (hit from behind) was a penalty. The FLYERS should should have won 3 - 0. Some questionable calls for sure.

Just like the Stars game 2. SJ 5 PP's. :36_7_4:
 
2 out the 3 series tonight could have teams up 3 - 0 in the series.
I like all 3 teams up 3 - 0 after tonights games.
Even though i can see all series 2 - 1 but I don't like it. :down2:


Tuesday's Picks

Detroit ML

Dallas ML

Pittsburgh ML
 
Colorado had such a good home reg. season record, I tend to think they win at least 1 at home, so I'll pass today and hit Detroit game 4 if the Avs win tonight.

Nice hit w/Pitt.

I hope the WINGS win this one. Lose game 4 and win Game 5.

It will not be that easy though. :moose:

thanks Satyr, I remember you to.

I am afraid of your Stars for real. Turco has been awesome and getting scoring these playoffs. :shake:
 
yeah finally it's good times for us Stars fans :D it's been a long time :D it'll be tough in the WC finals (I think I can say that now since SJ is not coming back from 3:0 down and neither is Colorado), eager to see the pricetag on the Stars to reach the SC finals.
 
BC, do you have a stat perhaps of how many teams actually pulled off winning the series after being 3-0 down?
 
The Flyers series isnt gonna be as easy as weve been making this seem. If Montreal somehow wins this series then its a clean sweep for hte Pens in the Eastern Conference finals
 
btw, heard there are a lot of Croats there in Pittsburgh, supposedly they came there 50 years ago to work in the steel factory. Would like to visit some day. :shake:
 
BC, found it.

NHL teams are 41-18 in game 5 when leading a series 3-1.

Only one team (in 30 tries) has ever erased a 3-1 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals -- and that was the Leafs back in 1942.

In the history of best-of-7 NHL Finals from 1939 through 2007, teams that lead 3-games-1 with Games 1-2 at home and Games 3-4 on the road have a 20-0 series record.

Only twice in 145 occurrences has a NHL team come back from a 0-3 playoff deficit to win the series 4-3. Teams with a 3-0 advantage have swept their opponents in 96 of those 145 series (66% of the time).

Home teams have won 83% of game 7's in NHL playoff history.

The home team is 10-1 last 11 Game 7 games in the Stanley Cup finals.

Big win for the WINGS last night beating the AVS 8 - 2, I never expected a score like that.

We are coming for the STARS next.....:eyes:


I am joking around :36_11_6:
 
Stars have to win tonight. You don't want to go back home up 3 - 2.
If Sharks win tonight all the pressure goes to the STARS going back home.

STARS ML +130

I was doing this after the Stars gave up a 2 - 0 lead and lost in OT 3 - 2 to the Sharks. :4_12_12:
 
couldn't believe it myself either.
I hope my boys can close it down tomorrow.

Would NOT want to see a game 7 here all things considering.
 
Sunday May 4th picks

Both teams need and should close out these series out today. :36_7_4:
