home ice against ottawa is crucial though. i really hope they can finnish strong.

I'd love to see Staal v. Staal in the playoffs

4/13/2006 12:18:04 PM

could be cool.

4/13/2006 12:20:17 PM

I agree that home ice would help against ottowa

but i think i would rather play the Habs, then the Tampa Bay right now

4/13/2006 12:30:15 PM

The Tampa matchup is far from perfect, but unlike Montreal, the Bolts have no goaltending. Come playoff time, the lockdown steps up quite a bit, and as I said before, I'm very concerned about having to face Huet with the way he's playing.

4/13/2006 1:21:12 PM

I dont think we will have problems with anyone besides Ottawa and Detroit if we can get healthty

Right now we are in a get healthy and ready for the playoffs mode

4/13/2006 2:44:01 PM

i just hope atlanta doesnt sneak in

4/13/2006 3:46:21 PM

we arent gonna know our matchup.....7/8th seed will go down to the line

4/13/2006 5:46:37 PM

you need immigration paper to go from canada to the US?

4/13/2006 5:48:22 PM

You need a passport to cross the border now.

Cristobal Huet needs like three of 'em.

Is it just me, or would it be completely amazing if we had our own version of the Winnipeg white out, but with bathrobes?

I've got my tailgating gear ready. And for all you who are typing up something like "well I'LL be playing street hockey" you can go ahead and stfu and gtfo. My blades haven't fit in like 5 years.

FL up two on ottawa early!!!!!!!!!!!

w/o hasek they are chicken shit

4/13/2006 8:04:01 PM

^ i saw melrose say yesterday that he thinks the sens will be done early

4/13/2006 9:03:33 PM

habs clinched....but not that they wouldnt have, doubtful the top 8 will change by the end of the season

sens lose. one pt behind them w/ a game in hand.

^they lost in OT, so we're actually 2 pts. behind them...but a win tomorrow night will put us back in 1st. Honestly, if Atlanta makes it in as the 8th seed (they're now behind TB by only 2 pts.), I'd rather be 2nd.

wtf.....nhl has a problem with stats

the game had FINAL written on it with a score of 4-3, i am certain of it

4/13/2006 11:29:41 PM

definately dont want to play atlanta

4/14/2006 1:35:53 AM

MUST.....BUY.......ROBE

The Stanley Cup is taking a pit stop at 850 The Buzz before it hits the Ale House...thank GOD I work in the same building I'll be up there, camera in hand, in about 30 minutes

4/14/2006 10:25:23 AM

if that son of a bitch Adam Gold gets to touch the Cup then it needs to be boiled

4/14/2006 10:27:13 AM

why do people fear atlanta?

4/14/2006 10:56:15 AM

that was awesome. luckily, the division chief went with me (he's a season ticket holder), so everything was a-ok

4/14/2006 11:34:38 AM

people fear atlanta because of kovalchuk,hossa,bondra,and that one guy.....

valid....theyre getting hot right now....

4/14/2006 11:46:35 AM

they are also dirty so even if they loose in the first round their opponent will be pretty beat up for round 2

4/14/2006 1:30:16 PM

start it off early, woot!

Justin Williams, PP goal

4/14/2006 7:11:01 PM

Nice of them to let us complete a change while holding the puck right around their goal

4/14/2006 8:53:14 PM

Man, what a pass.... oh well

4/14/2006 8:59:16 PM

d'oh, it was a doinker

4/14/2006 9:28:44 PM

gerb knows where the posts are! woot, SO win!

4/14/2006 9:39:18 PM

kick ass win

cant believe they hit two post in the SO

given how we got the shaft last OT....ill take it

all we to do is win 2 games, and then the east is ourse.

4/14/2006 9:47:41 PM

That was an awesome game to be at!! Very exciting and a great crowd.

We got all three stars at NHL.com
1)Cullen
2)Gerber
3)Weight

gee how did that happen

i hope staal gets 100 pts

[Edited on April 14, 2006 at 11:26 PM. Reason : -]

4/14/2006 11:24:22 PM

I hope he gets to 100 as well. Just needs 2 more points in 2 games!!

4/14/2006 11:46:56 PM

lets all pretend gerber hasnt given up ~15 goals in the last 3 games

4/15/2006 1:22:39 AM

im predicting calgary in the finals....east???

4/15/2006 3:18:53 AM

correct me if i am wrong...

if we take 2 pts tonight, and sens take 0 pts tonight, it means we clinch the east.....(we would have a 2 pt lead and both have one game left)

that could be cool

GO MAPLE LEAFS

That would be correct. With the Flyers beating the Rangers today, the Atlantic division is a 3 team race. The Rangers are still in first place, but the Flyers control their own destiny, and the Devils suddenly have a shot (Philadelphia and New Jersey play tomorrow).

4/15/2006 5:13:35 PM

well....the rangers only now have one game left...so id say its a 2 team race, realistically.

Just like SOG, numbers don't matter. The winner is what counts.

I'll direct your attention to one Grant Fuhr. Some nights he would let in seven goals, but those were the nights when the Oilers scored eight. He made the saves when it counted, just like Gerber did last night.

4/15/2006 5:39:30 PM

^except for the Richards goal

true....but uhh, there were several soft goals, i wouldnt have pointed it out if i didnt think there werent a few that i thought gerber should have been on

4/15/2006 5:54:19 PM

4/15/2006 5:54:44 PM

He never saw that one, it doesn't count.

Soft or not, it doesn't matter. It doesn't change what I said. Goaltenders that use a mix of positioning and reflexes (Gerber, Roy, Turco) are prone to giving up soft goals. That combination is also what allows them to make saves that more strictly system-based goaltenders don't make.

canes can take the east.

tonight, gerber and the D look good, someone wake up the offense.
