Let the discussing begin

Y'know, as much as I'd love the Habs to finish in first in the East. I love the idea of them playing Boston first round.

 

[MTG]

I agree but the problem playing boston would be that once we beat them we would most probably be playing either the sens, the devils or the pens as aposed to the rangers.

 

[RKOrton.]

At this point, I think Montreal could take out the Sens and Devils. I mean, they beat the Devils 4-0. They definitely have a good chance if they continue at this rate... Now to watch Sens vs Canadians

 

[Soulpower]

Favorite team=Detroit Red Wings (Or Great Wings >_>)

Wake me up when the playoffs start.

 

[RKOrton.]

*Hates Detroit cause they took Calgary out last year, first round.*

 

[Soulpower]

I'm just going to write the ESPN headline in CAPS!

SENS BLANK HABS, GRAB NORTHEAST DIVISION LEAD (lol, Canadiens >_>)

Also.. Another day, another easy, sleezy, never cheesy, off the heezy win for the Detroit Great Wings. Oh, by the way, the Wings also clinched a playoff spot with the victory.

 

[monkeystyle]

So disappointed. I cannot figure out for the life of me why we can't beat the Senators.

 

[MTG]

This is what worries me, other tahn boston, the habs cannot win a division game

 

[RKOrton.]

What happened to Calgary? They where leading 3 - Zip! Now they drop to 7th .

 

[chessarmy]

Go DEVILS!! A great come from behind win last night against the Wild, if they can just play some tight defence and get just enough offence I see the Devils going deep in the playoffs this year, especially with the amazing Marty Brodeur in net.

 

[Soulpower]

Come on WINGS! You guys are going to lose to Columbus? COLUMBUS?

 

[Colin Gimp]

I've been a ducks fan since I was a little kid. Since the movie to be honest. I have so much duck merch it's stupid.

Ducks just went above Dallas in standings. It's most likely certain to be Ducks vs Dallas. My team against a close childhood friend's team. If this is the first round we're easily going to bet some outrageous amount. At least 400 dollars and a stupid dare. Last year I made him wear my ducks jersey for a week straight after they won the playoffs.

I had to buy a new jersey lol

Oh well to Pronger's suspension. He isn't the glue as much as TSN tells me he is. They'll do fine without him, if not better without all of his stupid penalties he likes to give up.

The ducks is a completely rejuvenated team. Yesterday, against St.Louis Schieneder and Scotty N showed the team why we shouldn't fret about Pronger at all.

Ducks repeat? Most fucking likely bitchs~

 

[MTG]

Well i called (along with every other person who watches hockey) that the ducks would repeat at the beggining of the season but now I'm thinking the sharks, they've been playing fucking amazing and haven't lost in 11 i think.

 

[Edge+Bret Hart]

NY Rangers anyone? They have been playing great as of late. They have a lot of talent and can be very dangerous in the playoffs.

As for Montréal, even if they don’t win the Stanley Cup, they should be happy with this season. Hell, the so called experts predicted them to not make the play offs in the beginning of the season and look at them now. They are defiantly going to improve over the years considering they are a young team.
