Thread: Playoff Talk-3 to Watch and 1 to miss

Actually I will watch them all but here are 3 series I cant wait to see....


Sharks Vs Ducks-Honestly I cant think of a better matchup. The teams hate each other and last game saw Perry punch Brian Boucher in the back of the head as the final buzzer sounded only to see all hell break loose.

My Pick for Wild Card to watch-Travis Moen steps it up in the playoffs and will be interesting to see if he drops with any of his old teammates. Will be interesting to see if old whathisname wearing #4 for the Sharks will do the same. For the Record-Im calling the Ducks as much as it pains me to do so. Ill take it a step further and say the Ducks will go to the Western Finals and would not surprise me at all to see them win another cup. After that I will go back to drinking arsenic and experimenting with both uppers and downers and do my best impression of Chris Farley doing his impression of John Belushi doing his impression of Elvis doing his impression of Hank Williams. Are there any legendary figures pre Hank Williams famous for self inflicted deaths. If I use the name Emily Dickenson-would that be the time that name has ever been used in a hockey post? Here is a pic....what a piece of A she was back in the day eh?



Caps vs Rags-This one I will watch for one reason and one reason only....Ovechkin vs Avery. Avery did a great job of getting Kovalchuk off his game last year and I expect more of the same.



For the 3rd series Im stuck between the Pens and Flyers or the Hawks/Flames. Pens and Flyers is always a battle and Crosby fought not all that long ago...should be a dandy. I predict there will be one game in this series that will go into 4 or 5 OT periods. For the Hawks/Flames just a gut feel. Will Cammi step it up or dissapear? Will the Hawks young guns fell the pressure or fold? Will the series be a bloody fight filled series? We can only hope as much.


The series to miss altogether- Carolina vs the Devils. Boring Boring Boring. Since Scott Stevens retired the Devils arent nearly as entertaining and Carolina along with the rest of South Eastern division was always the games I skipped over on Center Ice. I expect to see a lot of 2-1 and 3-1 games.

Regardless.....how can you not love playoff hockey?

I think one of the most fun to watch would be Bruins vs Habs and won't be able to access cbc or tsn from here. Damned Canadian broadcasting.

As soon as I saw the final match-ups, right away that series jumped out at me as the slam-dunk red-headed child as far as coverage (even though it's a match up of 2 out of the last 5 Cup Champions, the only series that can boast that).

It's not going to be my favorite to watch, but I'll certainly try to catch some games.

I think most of the games will be telecast on Versus.
I don't know but I would think Versus would want to show at
least a couple of the Bruins vs Habs.

Vs. shows two games a night, with CI picking up the other games.

I thought about the Bruins/Habs as a marquee matchup....it is pretty cool in that 2 of the original 6 going to battle. They have history as well this season with some pretty heated games.. Komisarek is always fun to watch as is Lucic as is Chara. Quite frankly I see the Bruins pushing the habs around a bit which is OK by me.

Apart from Brodeur-what players are fun to watch? Ive tons of respect for Brindamour but hes not someone Ill go out of my way to watch...same with Stall. Ill give you Clarkson will be one to watch but not enough to carry the whole series when you look at the other compelling matchups.

Are you being serious?
