NHL Play offs

[naffer]

Anyboy taking an interest .
I for one will be trying to watch as many games as possible.

i would not have a clue who will win now they all seem fairly close but if i had to pick one it would be Buffalo the way they dismantled the flyers was as they say in the states awesome.

buffalo are strong, although i see some ducks for some reason, destroyed avs last night.

they are very fast and good shooters and could go for it, although its interesting,

i too am watching most games and enjoying them and advise people to do the same

[naffer]

Wow what a game between Buffalo and ottowa a real belter .
One of the best games so far .
Carolina and Anaheim outplayed their opposition.
Strap yourself in for the next games

[naffer]

The buffalo ottowa series just gets better won't mention scorelines but game 3 was a really good game.

[naffer]

Semi stages now--- the ducks look cooked but you never know.

The Buffalo Carolina series is a real humdinger, fantastic games to watch could be a game 7 with a bit of luck

[naffer]

The ducks have been cooked in oil but the sabres and canes conference final is out of this world- game 6 tonight.

[chunkydave16]

i hope Carolina win.

[naffer]

I see the oilers and canes going to 7- not got a clue who will win just looking forward to the games.
Edmonton were ranked 14 of the play off teams but they are playing so well defensively, Carolina are quick and smart maybe Carolinas home advantage will be the decisive factor.
I thought Buffalo might win but they had awful luck with injuries

[Steph Cowley]

Not really interested now Lightning and Ducks have gone
Not bothered who wins, but I guess I would prefer it if Oilers won.

[jakemurrall7]

with some of the oilers returning from injury, (torres) and with the likes of Pronger, Smyth, Samsonov, Horcoff and the goal machine Laraque i can see the oilers taking the cup home, in lets say, .... Game 6, thats what i'm going for, although im not cutting the canes out they have a very good core and recchi and stillman are having good playoffs, but sure will be interesting and i'll be tuning in for sure, anyone who doesn't would be a fool to miss this series as it will be a tight one and a few OT wins i see,

but overall Edmonton in game 6

[naffer]

and the goal machine Laraque


That has to be worth a point

[jakemurrall7]

the big man was over the moon with his goal when he tried to deflect it and he was left with an empty net after i think it was J.S for Anaheim went down easy, he just jumped into the boards

[naffer]

Probably felt better than hitting someones jaw i thought he might break the plexi.

[jakemurrall7]

suprising on my behalf but the canes have taken a 2 nothing lead in the series after a 5-4 win in the first game (thanks sky+ ) game 2 was a alot more one sided and Carolina won 5-0, i watched the first period but nodded off in the intermisson reports ,

still watched the rest on sky+ this morning

3 stars in the second game:

Frantisek Kaberle - 1+2
Matt Cullen - 0+3
Cam Ward - 25 saves and shutout the Oilers

are the canes going to wipe the series, going by last night and the oilers, they have a chance

[naffer]

They have a chance true but i think the edmonton crowd will swing it on saturday.Losing Roloson is a big blow and i don't think they know who to chose now after conklins gaffe late in game1 and the other guy having a duffish game 2.

I think the oilers have been a bit unlucky so far they played pretty well in game 1 and blew it started well in game 2 but came up against a team who matched their physical play and had cam ward in fine form plus they breakaway like the wind over 4 lines.
Still no one has lost a home game yet all to play for
