[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 2949359, member: 704"] [b]Who I would like to see in the 2007 playoffs[/b] Since I am bored, I figure why not make a list of who I would like to see in next years playoffs. This has no bearing on who I actually think will make it into the playoffs, just who I think would be good teams to see in the playoffs. Eastern Conference: CANADIENS SENATORS SABRES MAPLE LEAFS PENGUINS CAROLINA BOSTON WASHINGTON or NEW YORK ISLANDERS Reasons Why: Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa all get in because they are Canadian teams. In addition, Toronto + either of the other teams will give us a good rivalry series. Buffalo gets in because they made for some entertaining hockey in this years playoffs. Carolina gets in for the same reason, despite my desire for them to all catch herpes and die in a fire for beating the Oilers this year. Also, if a sun belt team is going to win the cup, it is better for the game if they at least show up to the playoffs the following year. Penguins get in because I have to pick someone from the Atlantic division. May as well put Crosby in for at least one round of the playoffs. Boston gets in becuase its an original 6 team, and though no longer as prevalent, they are a long time rival of Montreal. The last team for the east would be either the Islanders or Washington by virtue of not being the New Jersey Devils, Flyers, or New York Rangers. Neither has gotten into the playoffs recently very often, and teams that dont get in as often seem to be better to watch then teams that show up every year and make a 1st or 2nd round exit. Also, they are not a sun belt team. I dont have anything against fans of sun belt teams, but there are simply more hockey fans in places that get snow. I will also say now that I tend to follow the western conference more than the eastern conference Western Conference: COYOTES FLAMES OILERS CANUCKS STARS SHARKS DUCKS BLACKHAWKS Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver all get in for being Canadian teams. Also, I was very pissed off this year when I was denied a chance to watch Edmonton and Calgary murder one another in the playoffs. I would love to see Edmonton win a cup soon, but I am willing to settle for watching these two teams killl one another. Dallas gets in because I kind of got used to watching Edmonton and Dallas play one another in the playoffs. It made for entertaining hockey. The Sharks and the Ducks get in for the same reason Buffalo did. They make for entertaining hockey. I would throw the Coyotes into the playoffs because they would be a 'new' face in the playoffs, and it would be nice to see Gretzky in the playoffs again, even if its just as a coach. I threw the Blackhawks in for a few reasons. For one, if they make the playoffs, it would mean they are no longer a complete joke, and I think it would be good for the NHL to have a strong team in that city that has the capability of supporting a good team. In a perfect world, Chicago would be a great rival for Detroit and St Louis. Also, they have been out of the playoffs for a while, and as I said before, that is something that I see as something that can make for more intresting playoff hockey. Teams I dont want to see: I would like to have the playoffs go by without seeing Detroit, New Jersey, Colorado, The New York Rangers, or Phillidelphia in the playoffs. And if I disregard the Canadian factor, Toronto. For most of them, its because they are teams that I am just bored with seeing in the playoffs. They could do with a year or two of missing the playoffs to make the players and their fans hungrier. For New York and Toronto, its because they are ust the sort of NHL teams that hockey fans love to hate. If Toronto does get into the playoffs this year, I want to see them make it all the way to the Cup final. Not because I think they play entertaining hockey or particularly deserve to win it. Its because after seeing Calgary go nuts in 2004, and Edmonton do much the same, it proves that Cup starved Canadian Hockey Fans are entertaining to hear / see / read about when they have a good faith beleif that they can win the cup. And with Toronto's massive fan base, and the fact that they are coming up on 40 years without a cup win, the fan riots that would ensue would be worth watching. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
