The 2010 NHL Playoffs Thread

[kimblebee]

It will be the Blackhawks against the Canadiens in the Finals and the Hawks will win in 7. Canadiens have played unbelievably well but this Blackhawks team is one of the most talented teams I can remember in some time, they are an absolute destroyer.

It's been a long time since Chicago has had the SC, it's going to be a nice celebration!!!

Anyone who calls the Holy Grail the 'SC' doesn't get to have an opinion

I like when all the experts (ESPN, TSN, Yahoo, The Hockey News, Etc...) think that the Flyers will win the Eastern final.

These same experts thought that Washington and Pittsburgh would win their series.

Go Habs Go!!

It's a tough one to call. Hottest offense in the East versus hottest defense/goalie in the East. Not much to separate them.

In my experience, though, the team with the hot goalie usually moves on in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Unfortunate for my home team.

I don't listen to those guys. I listen to what's in my gut.

GO FLYERS!!!

Where were the Habs last night?

 

[sunlover13]

How about them Blackhawks!

 

[DenMig]

Canadien and Flyer fans have fun, but this year's destiny belongs to the Blackhawks. Time to sweep the Sharks and take the finals in 5. Go Hawks !!!

I won't be able to see Game 4 since I'll be-- of all places-- at Animal Kingdom. But I'm OK with them winning Sunday if it means there's no danger of a Game 5 and thus a Sharks rally, as they would attempt to make the first 3-0 comeback in the NHL playoffs in 6 days.

I'm loving this run by the Hawks, and it's making me love them all over again. Given that my family is from the western CL suburbs, I really wanted to be a Blackhawks fan when I was a kid, honest I did. But then Bill Wirtz made it impossible. I don't feel like I'm jumping on the bandwagon so much as reclaiming a birthright. Also, rooting for my hometown Panthers has been as painful as Chicago's dark period was, if not even worse.

Hawks own the NHL this year.

Hawks own the NHL this year.

I love that they are a "team." Bettman and his cronies in league HQ, along with ESPN have sought to destroy the NHL by pushing it to become "star" oriented. Teams built around one guy who does everything.

I'm glad to see teams like the Hawks, along with the Flyers and the Habs, go this far, as it proves that hockey continues to be a team game, no matter what kind of rules they try to institute.

That and they push for teams in areas where they lose money year after year. Phoenix has never made money over the course of its entire existence. Time to let it go.

Yea Flyers!

That came out way too small. What I meant to say was:

Let's Go Flyers!

 

[Lanshark]

Go Blackhawks

 

[daughtersrus]

[sunlover13]

HAWKS WIN!

Hawks = 2010 Stanley Cup Champs

WOO HOO!

 

[minniecarousel]

I am beyond bummed!

Maybe this really is Chicago's year. I certainly hope so. Don't know where my Sharks went.
