[OT-NHL] The Annual NHL Playoffs Thread: 2003

[EarthsShadow]

Av's Av's Av's, what are us Av's fans going to do with you guys.... c'mon jeeeez.

I think heard that in their last 9 playoff series they have gone to a game 7 8 times, and in each of those 8 times they have always got to 3 wins first, but for some god awful reason they just can't close it out. The Wild outplayed them for the entire fricken game tonight, tomorrow if history repeats itself Av's will win, then in the next series they will go up 3-1 and so on....

If the Av's lose, I am putting my full support behind the Ducks. At least they did something different.

(Done ranting).

Don't worry Earth, you weren't the only one ranting about this game. Still felt the Flyers COULD have put this series away IF they had come out to play in the first 10 minutes with more intensity.

Well it ain't over.

Sure, and the series would be over by now if the Leafs had mustered a little bit more enthusiasm and 'finish' in game 4's overtime, or showed up at all in games 2 and 5. This has been a tight gutsy series all around, the kind that makes the hockey gods smile down upon us with satisfied benevolence. For the series to NOT go seven games would have been a travesty - it's been easily the best hockey of the playoffs so far. It's just a shame one of these teams has to lose.

Yip. It IS a shame, but think about it, this is how these match-ups (between the 4 and 5 seeds) are supposed to go. What sucks is that these guys played a ahrd game, double over time, very physical and have to play again tonight, get one or two days rest and jump up and start a new series. Tough. I wish there could have been some better alternative than that. I think that no matter who wins, both teams have shown outstanding heart.

Anyone heard anymore on Foote? I assume sine his team faces elimination he may try to suit up tonight, depending on how bad of a "broken foot" he has. Playoff hockey is the best professional sports has to offer.

GO WILD!

Well end of the first period, Flyers are up by two. (2-0). I hope this means we close it out tonight. God Willing.

 

[Agamon]

Ah, springtime. Ironically, the best time to turn on your TV and watch the falling Leafs...

Go Avs!!!

Beyond annoying, who do you think you are picking the Leafs?

Thankfully the Flyers made it worth not watching 24 while it was on.

Phily won in a blowout, I just hope the Av's can do that also.
