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

[shadoe]

I don't mind rooting for just about all of the teams left. I'm sorry Ducks fans, I will be rooting for the Stars over your Ducks, but I don't think anything short of Cuthulu coming down to the ice on a surprise visit to Jiggy, is going to get us past this round.

Wait a minute, maybe I can use Plush Cuthulu to change the corse of this series.

On a more serious note, while I think the Stars will win one more game, I don't think they are going to win the series.

GO STARS !!!

That's all ok, it's just the Devils who are off limits.

I've gathered you are not a Devils fan .
BTW, did anyone hear the unbelievably stupid story about Anaheim's management requesting the "Star Spangled Banner" be replaced with "God Bless America" because the former song has the word Stars in its lyrics?

Well I am a Flyers fan...

Don't remind me.

I thought that was wierd when they had the lady sing "God Bless America" at the beginning of the game on Wednesday. I just figured they were going for something different. If that is the truth, that is just wierd! I mean it wasn't like they were at the AAC where the fans yell STARS everytime the word is sung doing the "Star Spangled Banner".

Datt:
Obviously I don't know if the news story I heard was entirely accurate, but if it is then someone in the Ducks' front office needs help!!

Welverin:
And this year I'm a Pee Wee hockey fan since the Wings have already begun making their tee times.

According to the local comentators(sp?) Daryl Ray and Ralph Strangis(sp?), that is a true story. They mentioned it before game 4. I thought that it was odd when they did not sing the "Star Spangled Banner" at game three, and even more so during game four. My sarcastic comment was that "I guess they can't find anyone who can sing the "Star Spangled Banner"", then I just about fell out of my chair when they said the reason.

I must have missed Daryl and Ralph talking about it. It was my birthday Wednesday and I had just walked in from dinner with my wife and friends when the game was starting. I just heard the lady singing "God Bless America." If someone in the front office of the Ducks requested it, they need some help.

Not going to say it...but looks like our worst fears have come true Wel. They are still here.

The series is 3-1 for the Canucks! Wahoo!

Hopefully we've only got one more game of Jacques Lemaire left hockey to go, and then we can back to something worth watching ::fingers crossed::

Alright did Big John poke Jiggy in the eye? He wasn't his usualy playoff self yesterday! Hopefully though he and the rest of the Ducks can bounce back in game 6 at the pond.
