East

Ottawa Senators (1) vs Tampa Bay Lightning (8)

I am a Devils fan all the way back to 1988 ("have another donut you fat pig")
so I am pulling for the NJD all the way including all my bets/playoff pools.

Predictions, analysis, BS, etc, post it up here.

**Game On**

I was just about to start a thread like this.

What games played last night??
Watching the Av's this afternoon!!

Red Wings are gonna be rough for anyone. They never slowed up this season like I thought they might. Just a really good hockey team.

Although have to give it up the the YAHOO( HAHAHA) the's they played a heel of a game this afternoon. Would be nice to see them Choke against the ALMIGHTY WINGS in the finals

Red wings kick ass im saying it right now Red Wings 2006 stanley cup champs

[Mr. Luos]

I see the Wings being at least a final four team.
Although for some reason I don't think they will win the cup.

Either way...should be one hell of a playoff year.

[Chaos]

GO AVS 'NUFF SAID!!!!!!

[smilin assassin]

hockey sucks

[Wayah-bird]

The Devils will have no trouble with NY at all and may just go the finals. Elias makes a world of difference to that offense. The Flames are the team to beat out west. Remember that they basically have the same club, if not better, that went 7 games against the Lightning the last time around. Speaking of which, Tampa Bay just took game 2 from Ottawa and looked every bit like the Cup champs. Goaltending will be their Achilles heel though this year. Detroit is in panic mode with their two weak efforts against the Oilers and now they have to win one up in Alberta. Good luck! San Jose has the big MO on their side and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore. Can't get enough of this stuff after a long year off.

[Mr. Luos]

Starting to think both sides are toss ups right now.

Lots of even teams.

hockey sucks

[SexOnWheels]

Hockey sucks?

What sport do you gays like?......Golf, poker, Basketball maybe?

Anyways most of the series are tied and after tonights games they all could be 1-1!

I am surprized at all the Devils fans, that is kewl to see.

Come on Cave man you must be scared shitless after the first two games that your precious 'Dead Things' looked very weak.

Remember Detriot fans what happened the last time the Devils played the Red Wings in the finals?

[norm43a]

Let's go Stars.
