General Playoff Hockey Discussion

Stanley Cup Playoffs

Now since the Penguin season is over a lot of the talk in this forum will rightly turn to the offseason discussion but should anyone want to talk about the rest of the playoffs in general use this thread. Nice way to have a discussion just between us Penguin fans.

i dont know who i want to win the cup now

[Tomahawk27]

Well if it wasn't us, I wanted the Sharks to win but that's out now too. I like the Kings, so I guess they'll be my choice. Don't mind the Blues or Preds either though

not any one in the east like nashville or kings blues

I'm just rooting for former pens

[burgh_fan66]

Anyone else notice the Eastern semifinals, our 3 Atlantic foes and the Capitals, really who is a Penguin fan supposed to root for there? Personally I have always liked Broduer and I enjoyed watching him play (especially before the trapezoid rule) so I kind of have to lean New Jersey but that isn't even easy for me.

Chances are I'll be rooting for the Western Conference champ in the finals but meanwhile the East is set up about as bad as it could be for Pens fans.

Noticed it too. Would have been funny to have the Isles instead of the Caps. I agree about Brodeur though. Despite the fact that he ended our run in the Eastern Conference finals in 2001 (among many other victories) I still respect his skills like no other. For me:

New Jersey
New York
Washington
Philadelphia

Phoenix
Nashville
Las Angeles
St. Louis

I would want pretty much anyone in the West over the bottom 3 teams in the East

[burgh_fan66]

Imagine if the realignment plan went through for next year. The Penguins conference would feature the Penguins, a cup favorite, and the final four in the East. Those 5 teams fighting it out for 4 spots would be something else. Poor Islanders and Hurricanes though.

Rangers Caps was good last night

[Tomahawk27]

I'm pretty pumped about the West. If I get NJ in the East I'd be ecstatic

[t2a2e9j12]

lets go devils kings cup finals

[burgh_fan66]

Good Bye Philly!!!!

Devils Win!! and knock out the Flyers. We might not win but neither will you.

[t2a2e9j12]

now rangers out i wil just be pissed then that pens didnt win

[burgh_fan66]

I can't cheer for the Caps over the Rangers. I'd take either over the Flyers but really can't pick one there. Hopefully the Devils bounce the winner.

Wow why couldnt the pens played this Philly team in the first round? haha The Flyers looked terrible against the Devils. I couldnt believe that this was the team that beat the Pens.
