Stanley Cup Playoff Pick'em 2010

[Asher]

Shouldn't have been, in retrospect; the Devils have been huge playoff disappointments for a few years running now. But kudos to the Flyers and Stuie.

Yeah, but the Flyers squeaked into the playoffs via the shootout in game 82, their backup goaltender is someone I've never heard of, and their main goaltender is a career backup goaltender.

Ok
I am back in Canada (sleep deprived etc etc)

So what did I miss----

[Ben Kenobi]

Brodeur is out. Chicago evened up their series.

Ottawa is in double overtime trying to stave off elimination.

So what did I miss----

New Jersey is out in 5 games.

Luongo has been awful. 0.871 sv%, 3.40 GAA in 4 games. Series is tied 2-2.

Hmmm -- Philly taking out NJ so early is a bit of a surprise-- NJ have not been playoff demons in a while I know but I would have thought that the addition of Kovalchuk would have beem enough to give them an edge -- plus is not Philly the team with like no goalies and which underperformed much opf the year---

On the flip side I never loved the late season additions and Philly was predicted in the pre-season to be a good team but then underperformed so maybe they are just coiming into their own-- I donèt see them taking another series though

Just turned on Ottawa-Pitt --- entertaining OT !!!!

Lou--- I have seen him be brilliant more in other years-- he has looked mediocre more this year than I am accustomed to seeing-- However if he gets his game togetehr at alll, you have to think Van takes the series

Flyers won the season series 6-2 against the Devils. They had their number.

Now the Capitals on the other hand.....

More like the PK has been awful. Played well in Game 1 and 2, but only came away with one win. LA is at 56 percent on the PP.

[Asher]

****ing hell, Luongo's diving is getting out of control. Refs need to man up and give him a penalty one of these days.

Edit: Another LAK powerplay goal They're effectively 1/1 tonight so far already.

[Asher]

LA's youth and inexperience catching up with them.

My prediction is looking solid.

As a side note, Burrows is useless. Ben talks up how awesome he is on the PK, and the Vancouver PK is the worst around. And the guy is pointless this whole series. Worthless.

[Guynemer]

Big relief after winning tonight. Hopefully, we'll be able to finish it off in Game Six. I'm much too old and fragile for the stress of a Game Seven.

[Ben Kenobi]

Seems like AV found the right groove. PK 3-4 and the Canucks destroy LA. Next up game 6, along with the rest of the west and the rest of the east. 7 teams could be eliminated this weekend.

He killed of a 5-3. Pretty good for a 'worthless' player. Canucks finally play up to their potential.

[-Jrabbit]

Wow. Gut-wrenching, full of peaks and valleys.
But ultimately, Hawks win. First time they've led this series. :whew:

[notyoueither]

That's gotta be tough to take for the Preds. It will take a lot of character for them to win the next game.

Conversely, it's quite a moment for the Hawks. That sort of win tends to have positive effects for quite a while.

[Fake Boris]

And wow, Ottawa's looking like they can turn the tide!
