Fred Derf Veteran Posted April 8, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2007 Edmonton needs to lose today to qualify for the top draft position in the lottery. If they win they would be the 6th worst team which kinda sucks considering only the top 5 are eligible for the 1st place lottery. Since I have a natural affinity for all Canadian teams, I hope Edmonton loses. Calgary may no longer need the win but the loss would be good for Edmonton. Still, when it comes to Edmonton vs Calgary, there's the pride thing on the line.

Actually the Wings are who I always cheer for if the Avs don't make it in, so I'd be happy to see that :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588460127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebiacsi Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 How can you be an avs fan and cheer for the wings?! j/k It's a shame that the avs are out of the playoffs, but, there is always next year. We have some very good young guys, Brisebois and Turgeon may depart and there is now an extra $4.6 million in bonus payments that was meant to go to Sakic and Rob Blake. With all that spare cash i wouldn't be surprised if Colorado sign a big free agent when the season finally finishes. I hear that Buffalo are going to have problems keeping both Drury and Briere next year.....

gigapixels Veteran Posted April 8, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2007 How can you be an avs fan and cheer for the wings?! j/k :p Hey, the Wings are a good team and very enjoyable to watch, plus I need a team to cheer for during the playoffs otherwise it's not as exciting.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Wings fan, but the Wings really aren't the team you should be picking for that considering the past few years we've had very early exits. But yeah, this year will be different of course. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588460664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebiacsi Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Im gonna be rooting for the pens this year. I think they will go quite far into the playoffs. As for who's gonna win it? I have no idea, i would like the pens to win. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588460996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted April 8, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2007 The Wings and the Avs had a blood rivalry just a few seasons ago. How quickly we forget.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted April 8, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 8, 2007 Blast, well I suppose I will be cheering for the Pens or Buffalo in the east then. :( Fun game to watch, but wow, defense and goaltending was a joke.

Razorwing Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 well it was an awesome game last night. GO LEAFS GO. lots of weird goals..and I guess if you do go to the net, things will happen. Anyway, the playoffs for the Leafs are on Devil's hands now. Watching 1st period, they haven't rushed that much, plus (this is going to **** off Don Cherry) that Brodeur isn't starting. So I don't know. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588461770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-Flex Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Wait- The Maple Leafs are out? They are eliminated? No Leafs in the playoffs? If I may, I'd let to break out the champagne for everyone not from Toronto. It's a great day.

bayrider Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well after that devastating loss to the Make Me Laughs last night, the Isles eased a bit of the pain for me. Boy was the last part of that game tense or what! I cannot believe all the blind luck the Make Believes had against the Habs last night. Jeesus, they must have scored 3 goals that floated like a dying balloon. I told everyone I knew that Huet was the wrong choice to start the game. Only 1 period of action in the last 2months? Halak would have been better IMO. Huet was weak, even if he stood on his head in the first with that barrage of 20-some shots. Anyways, I'm going to root for the Sharks and Ducks out west and the Isles (for obvious reasons) and Pens out east Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588462361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googintosh Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if it was an Ottawa Senaturd fan that made the video, they're especially bitter after being eliminated from the playoffs 4 times in 5 years by the Leafs. Homers from any team are so obnoxious. And being the most hated team in sports is not a bad thing, it is a compliment. ;) Edited April 9, 2007 by Googintosh Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588463149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
punktematrix Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Eventually all the Canadian teams will get eliminated, most likely in the first round and one of our American teams will win the cup yet again :yes: when that happens you can watch your city's team in the NBA playoffs, MLS or MLB now. ooooooh thats right I forgot, only one Canadian city can even support a pro franchise outside of hockey. silly hosers, Anaheim FTW! :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/501718-nhl-hockey-thread/page/13/#findComment-588463192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.pingu Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Shame for the leafs ;) Living over here in the UK don't get to see or follow the NHL as much as I'd like, but do try and follow how the pens are doing whenever I can, and it's been good to see how well they've done this season.
