2007-2008 NHL Season thread

Price has been good since he came up.

Just reading the Montréal papers there lots of roiting last night after the game

Boy Am I nervous about tonight. Which Flames team is going to show up. The smart one where everyone plays hard and shoots the puck after gettinginto a bit of space or the dumb one where they take penalties.

I hope the former, and that the stripes do a good job.

That was the hardest fought series of the playoffs.

It is a shame that one of the teams had to come out on the losing end of that series.

Absolutely sensational game from Pittsburgh tonight. The Pens went 3-0 down by the half-way point, came back and went 4-3 up, blew it and then won it in the last two minutes. The usual suspects were at it again.

I told the mate I was with to throw a fiver on the Pens when they were 2-0 down, and again at 3-0. This team has some serious steel.

MrJoeSoap

Another hard-fought (and possibly slightly fortunate) win for the Pens tonight, against the awesome Lundqvist and his Rangers. Six wins from six, and looking good for a place in the Eastern final. A Penguins-Flyers series would be amazing for the sport, would generate brilliant interest far beyond PA. I can see the Pens winning one of the next two games and clinching it back in the Igloo in Game 5.

San Jose live on.....just. Coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the third to win in OT could give them the boost they need to make a series out of this.

Game 5 tonight for the Habs vs Philly. Montreal were desperately unlucky to not score in game three before Philly took the 3-0 lead in that game. I mean, three posts in the first period, c'mon! Biron has been great when he's had to be but anypne can look like the second coming of Patrick Roy when there is no Hab screening you in front of the net.

The last time a team came back from a 3-1 series deficit was the Habs in 2004 versus Boston. I still believe that it can happen again but the team has to do the tough, simple stuff first. Price has to play like Price. The team has to quit the picture perfect, fancy plays which haven't worked in the playoffs so far and play effective hockey. A goal counts the same no matter how it's scored.


Go Habs Go, let's win this one and bring it back to Philly for game 6.

Spoken like a true Leafs (Leaves) fan. LMAO

Well, that was disappointing. Losing a 3-1 lead in a game they were dominating is simply not good enough. Conceding 3 goals in 3 minutes at the end of the second was just awful. Price and the defence s**t the bed on that one. I knew then that Philly would win the series, even if they lost that game itself.


Ah well, it was a great season all round. Next is the centenary season. It would be perfect to win cup #25 in our 100th year. A cup for every four years. That would suit this club perfectly.

They just fired Paul Maurice, so they are short one GM and one head Coach at the moment.

BrianCalgary

Well Joe you must be feeling pretty good about the Pens right now?

Very unlucky (I should know, I am one ); they definitely won't!; and he is a legend, no debate. HOF no question.

The fact that he played in Toronto will guarentee him being a first ballot HOF'er.

Did I say ignore his statistics ??

Playing in Toronto tends to cast a rosier glow on certain players when it comes to the HOF.

Two words for you: Bob Pulford

I done think so. Sundin has consistently been a great player for a bad and mediocre team over the years.

He deserves it.

I am not saying that he doesn't deserve it.

I am agreeing that he is going into the HOF.

I am also going so far as to say he goes in his first year of eligibility.

Experience is definitely winning out so far. I hope the Pens can at least make a series of this and win one or two games. I don't like sweeps (unless it's my team doing it of course! LOL)

I could honestly care less who wins the Cup this season, but I would just like to see the pinacle the season go seven games.
