I think the Leafs deserve a Stanley Cup for a change...I don't even know why. Yeah, I'm rooting for the Flyers as any nearby Philly person would, but I secretly want the Leafs to win. :D

[Peanut]

w00t! GO LEAFS GO! No doubt! I would really like to see the Leafs and the Habs in the Conference finals, but I don't like the Habs chances. :( In the west I personally don't care who gets up there cause the Leafs are going to tear them a new one anyways!

LOL, you sound like Conan O' Brien when he went to Canada for a few shows. "GO LEAFS GO! YEAH, GO LEAFS GO!" Do they really do that up there? :lol:

Sadly, they do. It's a bit pathetic at times. :lol:

They even have Toronto Maple Leafs flags at Grocery stores.

[Peanut]

HAHA! You're damn right they do! I shave my head into a mohawk and dye it blue for the playoffs and walking down the road in Toronto will get a ton of honking horns and GO LEAFS GO chants.

[愛]

That's the best thing I've heard tonight. You just made my night. :lol:

[Stone Ill]

Hey, Michelangelo, did you see in the sports section of the Toronto star a few weeks ago, that picture of that family with every thing painted Leafs colours? I mean, the guys face, the tree, the house, the garage, and the driveway! :lol: He was even wearing hockey equipment with a Leafs jersey whilist shoveling the driveway!

[Peanut]

:lol: Speaking of which, does anyone else have playoff rituals? I own 3 Leaf jerseys (actually 5 but I don't want to wear my signed Clark and Domi ones) and I constantly make sure at least one of the 3 is clean for me to wear EVERYDAY until the playoffs are over.

Edit: Yeah I did see that! That was nuts! The furthest my family goes is everyone wearing some type of Leafs insignia on them at all times.

[Stone Ill]

Woah, that's crazy!

The only jerseys I own are a no-name 'Ducks one and a no-name 'Preds one.

My brothers have a Roy-Avalanche one and a Potvin-Leafs one.

I'll have to get some new jerseys.

Probably one for all of my favourite teams: Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Montreal Canadians, Toronto Maple Leafs

[Peanut]

Yeah I've got a couple. Only other team besides Leafs that I have are Wild and Stars. I can't even remember where I got the Stars from. As for Leafs I own Sundin, Mogilny, and another Domi. I also have 2 no names, 90's style and new TML style and a St. John's Maple Leafs jersey.

[malignant]

Av's all the Way...

watch.

[Peanut]

Av's all the Way...

watch.

Salo is a choke artist! :D If no one from the East wins I want Av's to take it. If they make it that far. They've got a good chance though....cause you know...Selanne and Kariya....they're uh....tearing it up this year...... :|

[malignant]

Av's have to much Talent, thats their Problem....

but it wont matter come play offs, 7 game series favors them... :)

[Peanut]

I can't say I don't like the Avs. They made me a ton of cash last year! No one thought Minny would take em! I did! :D Bet the same against Vancouver! I'd like the Avs more if they didn't have Forsberg. I just can't stand that guy.

[cqb101]

Bruins all the way. They're gonna follow in the foot steps of the Pats.

[Mondo J. Gecko]

San Jose or Vacouver vs. Toronto or Tampa Bay in the Finals... Thats my guess...

[Peanut]

Am I the only one that thinks Tampa won't be able to make it far in the playoffs? I just have a feeling they're going to get mega roughed up.

[Taloniss]

Sometimes I think I'm the only Canadian who doesn't like hockey :|

Anyway, go Leafs, but only because I'm from Toronto :)

*calls* I AM THE INCREDIBLE PREDS FAN!!! :lol: :P

[Peanut]

I'm glad the Preds made the playoffs. They were deserving of it last year and this year they finally made it. Who knows there could be yet another upset against the Wings this year.

[coryroo24]

If any team really deserves the cup its the Penguins. Lets go Pens

[Stone Ill]

That's hillarious. Didn't they come in dead last? :lol:

Thanks, Mike! :) Now, if they could beat the Detroit Redwings... :lol:

*hugs her Gnash plushie*

[Peanut]

Hey they gave them a run for their money more than enough times in the season. As for the penguins....welll....yeah....I don't think anything needs to be said.

[Mars-Chan]

*still hugs her Gnash plushie* Gnash!!! :D

I know...the Red Wings are a tough team to beat. But, I have faith that they'll somehow pull through and win!! :lol:

[Mr. Snackpants]

red wings

[JameO]

red wings

NO! :x

[Peanut]

red wings

NO! :x

Agreed.

[Stone Ill]

I'm sick of Colorado, New Jersey, and Detroit winning all of the 'Cups!

[Peanut]

Same here. I'd like to see something different this year.

[Mars-Chan]

*chants* Let's go Predators! *Gnash beats out the beat on his drum* Let's go Predators! *again the beat on the drum* Let's go Predators! (Can ya tell I've been to some games? :lol: :P)

Mars likes the blue fuzzies... *looks up at Mars' sig pic* Not that I can blame ya there... :wink: :D

[Peanut]

You're lucky Mars. At least you can get tickets for your teams games and they probably don't cost you an arm and TWO legs to get them.

DID IT EVER!!! But it was well worth it. I went to the San Jose Sharks game...we won it...and the Ottowa Senators game...won that one too.... :P Course this was all last year, but...*ahem*... :lol: :D

[Peanut]

Well everyone has played a game and it looks like this.
West
Wings lead Preds 1-0
Canucks lead Flames 1-0
Avs lead Stars 1-0
Sharks lead Blues 1-0
East
Bruins lead Habs 1-0
Lightning lead Isles 1-0
Sens lead Leafs 1-0
Flyers lead Devils 1-0

I'm extremely unhappy about all of these with the exception of Sharks over Blues. As much as these make sense I don't like it. I'm also fairly unhappy with the way the games have been played so far. There have been far far too many penalties. The Leafs/Sens game was one of the worst called games I've seen since Leafs/Preds last year. The Canucks/Flames game was another one that was so horribly called I felt embarrased for the referee's. So far I'm not very happy about the playoffs.
