SAVVY18 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Are you kidding me? Dallas was cream-puff city. Colorado made them look sad all the way around and played VERY well in the series. You are entitled to your opinion. Colorado should have CRUSHED them, instead of just beating them. I expected ALOT more out of Colorado...that's all.

I expected ALOT more out of Colorado...that's all. You know what I see the difference was? Line changes and home ice. Granato outcoached the hell out of Tippett. I could give you stats up the ying-yang about why Colorado did indeed whip the snot out of Dallas, but I won't bore you. Suffice it to say, though, Colorado was definitely the better team - that much we agree on. Here's to Round 2!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Flyers take game 1 against the Maple Laffs 3-1 behind goals from Tony Amonte, Simon Gagne and Marcus Raggnarson. I couldn't watch the game but from what I read the Flyers handled the Leafs pretty well. Also it seemed like the Leafs were a little beat up. Anybody see anything different? LETS GO FLYERS!!!

Can't say because I stopped watching hockey last week, could tell you all you need to know about the Miami heat series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Well, 6 for 8 is not bad. Missed BOS (who would have thought that after being up 3-1) and DAL. Dallas just SUCKED. On to the conference semis: Western Conf: Calgary/Detroit: Which Detroit shows up? That's the big question. Calgary is on a tear - I like their style, their tenacity. Detroit thinks they have to just show up to win half the time. CGY in 6 in an upset. Colorado/San Jose: Where's the love for San Jose? Perhaps the quietest first round matchup and they kept going right where they left off as division champs. Colorado just dominated the Stars but frankly, the Stars just didn't show up. They will have a tough time vs. San Jose. COL wins the series in 6. Eastern Conf: Toronto/Philly: This one's going to be fiesty. Philly looked good vs. NJ, but right now I gotta like Eddie and the Leafs. Ask Coach Hitchcock about Ed Belfour in the playoffs... Leafs in 6. Montreal/Tampa: This ought to be a pretty good series. Tampa has a dangerous game one situation after having a few days off. Still like their team play over Montreal, however. And frankly after the crap I saw in round one I can't pick MTL (bunch of whiney ass fakin' POS). TPA in 6. I didn't do so well in the second round. San Jose played pretty darn well against Colorado. Colorado just didn't show up the first three games of the series. I think they thought San Jose was going to roll over like Dallas did. Guess what? Didn't happen. And the Leafs - I should have went with my first instinct to say that whoever came out alive from the Ottawa/Toronto series was going to get beat in the next round. I just thought Toronto had a better match-up. Philly was more hungry. On to the CONFERENCE FINALS! San Jose/Calgary: All I can say is wow, I wouldn't have thought these two teams would be left. These two teams mirror each other. Many, many things tie them together, Kippersoff, Sutter, they both play hard, good forechecking teams, etc. This series is so hard to pick. I actually like Calgary's tenacity, but I think they've just about used up any energy they have to get through the first two rounds. San Jose on to the Cup finals... in 6. Tampa/Philadelphia: On paper, Tampa should kick the snot out of Philadelphia. But don't underestimate one Coach Ken Hitchcock. Philadelphia is hitting a pretty good groove here. Again, this is hard to pick. In the end, I think that goaltending is what will make the difference, and I just don't have the confidence in Esche/Burke as I do Kabi/Grahme. Tampa in 6. That would set up the BAY Stanley Cup Finals, and will the ratings suck ass for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
