NHL Playoffs

Quick questions for the Habs fans...

Who are the "Hab Squad"? And what kind of french/english translation software are they using?

Whoever they are, they seem to be online tagging anything Bruins related. The thing is, it's pretty obvious that they are using translation software due to the lack of prepositions and conjunctions.

Now, I can barely understand 4 words of french, so I'm not really 1 to talk. But if your gonna slam the B's, please do it in a way that we can all understand.

34 hours to go and counting.

EAST

Bruins over Habs in 6
Bruins in 7

Rangers over Caps in 7
Capitals in 5

Flyers over Sabres in 5 (maybe a sweep)
Flyers in 7

Lightning over Penguins in 5

WEST

Blackhawks over Canucks in 7

Sharks over Kings in 5
Shanks in 6

Red Wings over Coyotes in 4

Sad Pens fan today... More sad because we got outplayed, no fault but our own. 1 power play goal in 7 games? Hopefully Sid & Geno will recover over the summer.

I'm rooting for the Bruins.

My condolences about your Pens. But at least you had that 1 PP goal in 7 games. We haven't had a PP goal in 7 weeks.

Rangers in 7? You must not be a Rangers fan We're conditioned to expect the worst. Game 4? The worst!

I'm rooting for Tampa now cause I can't stand anybody else in the East.

All I can say is, when you are down by 1... In Game 7... And there is a minute and a half left of the game... And someone slashes and breaks a teammate's stick resulting in you being on a power play with a minute and a half left of game 7 one goal down... And you pull the goalie to give you a 2 man advantage...

SHOOT THE FREAKIN PUCK!!!!

Never thought the Pens would get this far anyways. I'm afraid of Ovenchicken finally making it to the finals, so at least we wouldn't have the huge disappointment of losing to Ovenchicken in the second round.

Since the Winter Classic has started back up annually, one of the teams in each Winter Classic has made it to the Stanley Cup finals. For 2011 it was Washington at Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh is now out. So now we know who will be in the East in the finals.

The good part of this will be hopefully seeing them make it to the finals and getting WHOOPED!

Can't go by Winter Classic tendencies. Until the B's/Flyers Winter Classic, the home team had never won and there had never been a fight.

BDL, your signature reminds me of the fact that the Bruins some some of the funniest ads in the NHL. In that vain, perhaps the hockey nuts here can share some of their favorites.

Here's some of mine:
Bruins: "Date"
Bruins: "Tuck"
ESPN: "Spy"
Red Wings: "Hospitality"
Red Wings: "Chess"
McDonald's (Canada): "Mini-sticks"

One so bad, it's painfully funny... Penguins: "Al Motors"

The middle on was new to me and is pretty good... though I must say that the Bruins marketing department seems obsessed with the bathrooms in the Garden as they're featured in so many commercials!

I also like their "Christmas Present" commercial.

Nike had a lot of funny ones back when they were selling equipment under their brand name.
