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

[Broken Fang]

So who thinks the Wild are going to come back from three down a second time? Going back home for game six, where their fans really rock the house. If they pull out a win Vancuver better watch out in game seven...I remember that ugly Colorado game.

We have they 1 and 2 seeds from the East. We have the 7 and 4 or 6 in the West. Interesting...does this show domminance by the East with their few good teams and that anything can happen in the wild West?

Congrats to the Ducks. Even though I was hoping for a Vancouver/Dallas final, your heart can't be denied. I hope you learn to hate us in the conference finals.

The second period was heart-breaking last night, but we've come back from this before, and despite the win, the Wild's looking pretty beaten up. I don't think this team can beat us on consecutive nights, but you never know.

I personally think that the Canucks will either Win in game six, or lose in game seven at this point.

The Wild may be a decent team and all, but I prefer to see American teams lose to Canadian teams where possible.

Does 7-2 and 5-1 convince you? Does Cloutier start next game? Can Roloson be good three games in a row? Does he have to be good? This is going to be a fantastic game tmorrow with a ton of second guessing. I feel for Vancouver. Heck, I feel for the Wings, Stars and Avs who now have to figure out what the heck happened to them. Pretty amazing stuff in the West this year.

I am baffled

To consecutive losses are acceptible. 2 consecutive routs are not. What the hell is going on with Vancouver?

Vancouver has proven it can beat the Wild. They did so 3 times. But lately they have not only been losing, but losing big.

The Canucks have to be disgusted with themselves for letting a 3-1 series lead become a shot at elimination.

If Vancouver can get a two goal lead, I think they will clinch it. But if they decide instead to generate penalties instead of goals, then they deserve defeat.

Wow. I guess the Wild really like being down 3-1 in a series.

*Makes mental note When Ducks get Wild down 3-1 keep them there and make it 4-1*

I have been impressed by the Wild all season long. I think that they do deserve to go on to the finals, but we will just have to wait and see.

Tonight's game is going to be very interesting.

Rope a dope?

I am amazed also. How long has it been since the Stars, Avs and Wings have not been in the Finals for the Western side?
