I assume you liked when the Devils swept the Rangers.

I hate the Flyers more than the Rangers, only because my dad is a Rangers fan.
I hope the Flyers lose every game, and Washington and Carolina keep winning. Flyers aren't in yet, even if they WILL get murdered by Pittsburgh/Montreal in the first round.

sweeping the rangers was one of the greatest moments ever. lol. but hey its not final yet that they're playing the Rangers. all depends on how they do and the teams below them do.

heres what im pulling for. Rangers lose tonight. devils lock up 4th seed with win or ranger lose. so rangers lose. senators win. senators seasons over with 1 more point then the rangers so they're in 5th. then the devils and rangers play for the final game of the regular season. and if the devils can win! JUST ONCE! then they will most likely have avoided them entirely in the playoffs. and i will celebrate in joy.

FAIL we have one last shot to avoid the rangers in the playoffs. but first Boston needs to win tonight...and then the Devils need to beat the Rangers.

NOPE...rangers devils. first round. official. F*** is all i have to say.

Devils lost to the Flyers.... I think the apocalypse is coming.

I mean seriously, the last time that happened was the MIDDLE OF OCTOBER!!!

oh well Flyers dont matter anymore. Devils and Rangers finished off the season today. i was at the game, and had the most AMAZING seats ive ever sat in. they were so sweet. devils won in a shootout and i have to say the crowd was insane all game long. hopefully this win gives them some momentum into the playoffs against the Rangers.

Go Devils

theyve been 'my' team since i knew what hockey was.

Syntax · 04-07-2008, 03:20 AM

With the Canucks out of the playoffs I shall be rooting for Montreal and Calgary.

JCpackers05 · 04-07-2008, 07:20 PM

I think that game was bigger than what people think it is.

I mean, the Devils found a chink in the Rangers' armor. The timing couldn't be better.

Anyway, here are the Eastern Conference matchups and my picks, enjoy.

(1) Montreal vs (8) Boston
My pick: Montreal in five

(2) Pittsburgh vs (7) Ottawa
My pick: Pittsburgh in six

(3) Washington vs (6) Philadelphia
My pick: Philadelphia in seven

(4) New Jersey vs (5) NY Rangers
My pick: Rangers in seven

That last pick breaks my heart, but I just don't believe that the Devils are able enough to beat the Rangers. That last win should give them some momentum though, onto the Conference Semifinals.

(1) Montreal vs (6) Philadelphia
My pick: Montreal in six

(2) Pittsburgh vs (5) NY Rangers
My pick: NY Rangers in seven

New York is better than the ranking shows.

(1) Montreal vs (5) NY Rangers
My pick: Montreal in seven.

IGN simulated games on NHL 2K8 (even IF NHL 08 is better). Here are the results:

Quote:

Eastern Conference Playoffs
Montreal 4 Boston 3
Pittsburgh 4 Ottawa 0
Washington 4 Philadelphia 2
New York Rangers 4 New Jersey 2

Pittsburgh 4 Washington 2
New York Rangers 4 Montreal 1

New York Rangers 4 Pittsburgh 3
Western Conference Playoffs
Detroit 4 Nashville 2
Calgary 4 San Jose 1
Colorado 4 Minnesota 2
Anaheim 4 Dallas 2

Calgary 4 Detroit 3
Anaheim 4 Colorado 1

Calgary 4 Anaheim 3

Unlike the Final Four, which saw four #1 seeds end up in the tournament semifinals, the Stanley Cup was to be contested by a #5 seed and a #7 seed. The Rangers went through the field by simply outscoring the competition. The team scored a playoff-high 58 goals through the first three rounds, defeating Pittsburgh in seven games to make the finals by outlasting them 7-5 in the series finale.

Calgary, meanwhile, pushed through by employing a mean defense and brilliant goaltending from Miikka Kiprusoff. The Finnish goalie had three shutouts through the first three rounds, and when his team went seven against Anaheim in the conference finals, Kiprusoff came up with 41 saves in a 3-1 victory.

Stanley Cup Finals
New York 4 Calgary 2
New York 2 Calgary 3
Calgary 2 New York 0
Calgary 3 New York 1
Calgary 0 New York 2
New York 3 Calgary 5

In the finals, the star was Jarome Iginla. The 50-goal scorer only had seven goals in the first three rounds, but he came through in the Finals in a huge way, scoring eight of the Flames' 15 goals, culminating in a Game 6 hat trick that gave the Flames a Stanley Cup title on the ice of Madison Square Garden. The most exciting game of the series was Game 2, which saw the Flames prevail in triple-OT when Daymond Langkow, who had a whopping 25 assists in the playoffs, scored with 2:44 left in the period.

The MVP of the playoffs had to be Iginla, who absolutely took over when it mattered most. If the Rangers had won, the honors might have gone to Martin Straka, who led the playoffs in scoring with 35 points. Linemate Petr Prucha scored 15 goals, but the honors went to Iginla and the Flames, who claimed the first cup since 1989.

The Dallas Stars are beating the Anaheim Ducks 3-0. The Stars just scored a pp goal and are now on another power play.

Whoops · 04-11-2008, 04:05 PM

Boston lost, didnt think we'd win mind but id have liked a closer game score wise.

CocoSSBB · 04-11-2008, 06:37 PM

The Devils are killing me.

Also, what's with the Devils/Rangers not being on TV down here ALL SEASON!!! This is the tenth time they've faced each other and a single Rangers vs Devils game hasn't been on all season in south NJ.

JCpackers05 · 04-12-2008, 04:28 PM

Devils are always on TV where i live.

game 1 was terrible. that 2nd goal for the Rangers was just absolute crap.

i was at game 2 and ugh....i was row 17 behind brodeur (end they attack once) and well both Rangers goals were scored there and i couldnt see either of them cause the ranger fans in front of me where all wearing hats and were half out of their seats when the puck went in.

it sucked too that the devils scored with still like 2 minutes left to make it 2-1. thought they might actually would come back.

oh and the refs basically sucked ass all night long. get this...last minute of play. devils take a penalty with the goalie pulled soooo that would mean devils are on the PK correct? well tell that to the refs. devils go to dump the puck in THE F***ING IDIOT CALLED AN ICING! John Madden and coach Sutter FLIPPED OUT. i was watching Sutter...he took a stick and completly smashed it against the boards it shattered into like a million pieces and he threw it on the ice. he was flippingggggg out. madden just continually followed the ref slamming his stick on the ice and yelling. it was terrible. they ended up having the faceoff at center ice. but come on! learn how to officiate...specially in the playoffs.

and one last story of the night. basically when it became 2-0 fights broke out EVERYWHERE. lmao. the one closest to me where two kids. the one when he was walking out threw a cup of soda or beer or something right over his head into the crowd. and then his friend as they were being grabbed by the security or w.e started shoving this huge black security guy right back. lmao. lets just say they were brought out a little more aggresivley. it was hilarious too. cause there were like 4 fights going on in the upper level above us all at the same time. and i just looked back at the security behind me and there all standing there just pointing to all the fights not knowing what the hell to do. lmaooo. that was probably the highlight of the night.

Whoops · 04-12-2008, 05:11 PM

Souds like the action off the ice was better than on the ice.

Its right annoying they didnt show any of that bit you was talking about in the highlights.

JCpackers05 · 04-12-2008, 05:20 PM

im guessing you were referring to the bull crap icing call. it happened though lol. Sutter was freaking out. i really really wish i got to see his post game conference after that one lol. and all the retard devil fans....yes devils fans....were like well yeah i guess that was an icing...i was just like WOW STFU WERE ON THE PK THERE CANT BE AN ICING ON THE PK! and there like....oh. like come on! devils fans suck so much. the sad sad truth.

CocoSSBB · 04-12-2008, 05:33 PM

How... can you possibly screw up an icing call on a PK? Seriously, I would have made that call right.

Devils/Rangers are on tomorrow night, I might not watch it though. I really don't feel like watching the Devils get swept.

JCpackers05 · 04-12-2008, 07:36 PM

yeah they're probably gonna get swept. oh well. ive mentally prepared myself for the series lost against the Rangers so i dont see it as a big deal anymore. lol.
