Stanley Cup Playoff Pick'em 2010

[Ben Kenobi]

The pathetic whining from BC continues.

Right. I'd wager had that been off Iggy's foot, you'd be raving about Toronto.

I'm glad to see my bet was partially correct. Burrows has scored more points this season than Iggy, including playoffs.

[Asher]

Man, Ben never gets tired of flat-out lying. What a sad little man.

[-Jrabbit]

What the hell team was that, and what did they do with my Blackhawks???

[rah]

I think the expectations are so High that they're playing tight.

[-Jrabbit]

expectations are so High

Hmm, perhaps the 4/20 thread explains their lackluster play...

[Sparrowhawk]

Hmm, perhaps the 4/20 thread explains their lackluster play...

I have been trying to figure out what this means and forced to admit it is over my head....."the 4/20 tread"....I looked at the posts from yesterday, April 20th, and the threads from yesterday but have no idea to which you are referring......is 4/20 thread in reference to something else?

Sorry, Sparrowhawk. I hadn't realized that "Happy 4/20" was actually a birthday thread and not about smoking pot. That's why I later added the hippie emoticon as a clue.

[Sparrowhawk]

Thanks Asher, and here I thought it was a reference to do with Hockey, Chicago or the Blackhawks

I just I should have noticed the Smiley that Jrabbit used, but I missed it (and apparently I missed 4/20 too!)

The world of hockey seems to be slowly righting itself with some of the favourites at least tied in their series now, but nothing will suprise me this year, it seemed possible for 8 "upsets" at one point, and could potentially still happen (though if Ottawa even makes it to game 6 I will be amazed).

Edit: Jrabbit, I do my best to stay away from O/T, so I would have missed it either way

[Asher]

Oh, that's just hilarious.

After last game, where Vancouver was ridiculously bad on the PK (I can't remember the stat)...they decided NOT TO PRACTICE?

And lo and behold, 2 penalties in this game, 2 powerplay goals against. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Edit: ! Kings score again on a delayed-penalty (Burrows making himself useful with a slash, the only time I've seen his name all series)

Canucks win a close one, it was a great game to watch.

[Ben Kenobi]

And they win the game.

AV: 1 Asher: 0

[Stuie]

New Jersey vs Philadelphia in 5

If I don't get another one right I'm fine. That was SWEET!

[Asher]

Well done with that pick. Very unexpected...

[Guynemer]

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.

[Ben Kenobi]

Stuie is kicking all our asses.

How much do you bet that NJ and Lou pick a goalie in the draft?
