Rusty, I think I would just be stubborn at this point to not admit that I was wrong about LA. Made STL look silly. Good call by you.
I'm standing by my opinion that this is one of the more boring playoffs in recent history, however.

Another part of my fantasy would be that Briere gets suspended for the reason of, "being a vampire or being undead in some fashion or for being afflicted with whatever it is he has that makes him look like he's been constantly battling tuberculosis for the last 6 years" |

I'm standing by my opinion that this is one of the more boring playoffs in recent history, however. Haha, thanks dude. There is no simple equation to figure out who will win a playoff series. But I generally look for two things: a team with players with great playoff pedigree; teams with a goalie who is on the roll of his life or who is peaking just as the playoffs start or who was peaking all damn year or who is generally a fucking monster in net. I picked them over the Canucks because of Richards, Brown, Penner-- the type of player who you rarely hear of in the regular season, but you never stop hearing about every playoffs (for good reason). ...and because of Luongo. I like the guy, I like his personality, he is likeable; Luongo is a really nice guy. Despite what people say he is a fucking talented goaltender( people who say otherwise only watch highlights or listen to announcers or their fathers). What he never seems to be is in that zone. That place where goaltenders go sometimes, where they literally become a wall. That place where all of a sudden everyone in the vicinity of the arena gets this spidey sense tickling their spine letting them know that this guy is literally not letting a puck in. I've seen goaltenders with not an ounce of the talent that Luongo has be brilliant during the playoffs. Depending on who you ask, goaltending is between 50-100% mental and the rest is talent. Sadly Luongo lacks the mental end, at least in my opinion. Also Schneider was pretty good, but he wasn't tingly-spidey feeling about a goalie good. That's what you need in the playoffs, and right now LA holds it. |

Dude, did you hear that comment they made about the 4-minute penalty for high-sticking? I never knew that. I've always wondered the reasoning behind it.

Oh totally. I've always thought it was stupid that if someone is highsticked, and it draws blood, it is automatically 4 minutes.
Glen Healy noted after that highstick at the end, that they put that rule in place because of Hepatitis-C, because the player cannot play until the blood is stopped...and I guess it could take an extra couple of minutes to stop the bleeding.
Still silly to me, but at least I know their reasoning know.
Also where do you work that you can watch the hockey game? Don't answer if you don't want to.

Don't worry. I won't post a giant Devils logo when they win tonight. OR WILL I?  ? Actually I'm pretty sure newjersey will beat me to the punch. |
