JimD Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 This years Montreal - Boston playoff series has produced some of the best hockey I have seen since the NHL was 6 teams. Fans will not want to miss the Monday night 7th game. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted tcb Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Great game. Boston could've won game 7 in the first period, but Cary Price was outstanding in goal for Montreal. It was fun to see Ken Dryden in the stands, cheering him on. 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted April 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm really a Western Division fan and will be watching Colorado open in Detroit tonight and Dallas opens in San Jose tomorrow night. Pulling for a Dallas vs Detroit Division final series. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling for a Dallas vs Detroit Division final series. There is a risk I am talking to myself here! But I called the Western Division final series and that encourages me to call for Dallas to prevail over Detroit. Game one has started..... Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

ted tcb Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Jim, you're not talking to yourself here. I watched some of the Detroit/Dallas game last night from my hotel room (new job, lots of training). Looks to me like Detroit is going to take the series in a cakewalk. To me, Detroit is really an Eastern Conf team. As I type this, its 1st period intermission in the Pittsburgh/Philly series. What an awesome display of speed and talent. This series may be more fun to watch than the actual finals. Pittsburgh looks like an all star team ... they have depth, leadership, goaltending, and their big guns are producing when the chips are down. These are good times to be a hockey fan ... even if some of us live around Toronto. 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Detroit is really an Eastern Conf team. Dallas will be showing some changes on defense tonight. If they lose tonight, they will have dug themselves into a very deep hole.

Pittsburgh looks like an all star team ... they have depth, leadership, goaltending, and their big guns are producing when the chips are down. This is the time to put all the skills on the ice; they could not/do not play at this level for the entire season. And I agree, this Pennsylvania Series could be more fun to watch than the finals. These are good times to be a hockey fan ...We agree. even if some of us live around Toronto.It could be worse; ask a Blackhawks fan!! Look for the Leafs to make the organizational changes needed to get them pointed in the proper direction. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

ted tcb Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm sure the long term plan for Toronto is to lure Brian Burke as GM for the 2009 season. As we speak, we have no coach, no captain (Mats isn't talking), no GM (Cliff Fletcher is interim), and a ton of non performing players on no trade contracts (see Tucker, Blake, Kaberle, McCabe, Raycroft, Kubina). I never thought I would say it, but I'm starting to miss the days of Harold Ballard and Bill Wirtz ... at least these guys had personalities and passion, albeit usually misplaced. Now, I root for a team owned by the Toronto Teacher's union. All they care about is showing a profit for the shareholders, and we all know that Toronto can produce 41 straight losing years, and never have an empty seat in the house. Sadly, there is no incentive for the owners to spend $$ on a winner. I'm rooting for Pittsburgh .... that short handed goal by Malkin ... where he was flattened on a short handed rush, got caught up ice and turned it into a breakaway goal, was hilarious. Out of breath, he winds up at the harshmarks and blows it by Biron. It was a play right out of midget hockey, and it worked ... I only hope Philly can win a few games, to prolong my fun. Happy viewing, Jim. 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh put themselves in a good place tonight!! They did not need the "denied" first period goal. Monday night is "Go or go home" for my Stars. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone.

Marika Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Wasn't it W.C. Fields who once said, "I went to a fist fight last night and a hockey game broke out". If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimD Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Good old Comcast's signal was down for 2.5 hours this afternoon. Guess which 2.5 hours it was!! Yes, during the Stars @ Detroit game. But I did get to see the last 3 minutes and the result surprised me as much as it did Detroit. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

ted tcb Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 So, Jim, what do you think the chances are of a Dallas comeback? I'll be watching Pittsburgh today at 3pm in HD ... looks to me like they want to wrap it up on home ice. 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 So, Jim, what do you think the chances are of a Dallas comeback?History argues against a comeback from 0 and 3 but your Leafs have done it! I'm hopefull but not optimistic. And don't phone me on Monday night!! I'll be watching Pittsburgh today at 3pm in HD ... looks to me like they want to wrap it up on home ice. Me too and the Penquins did it in fine style with a shutout. The only thing missing was a short-handed goal. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !

JimD Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Detroit done good tonight. Goaltending and controlling play between the blue lines got it done. And I do enjoy seeing short-handed goals. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
