yeah...that sort of forced my hand to the Rangers....

 

I feel like going from the Whalers to the Islanders would make more sense.

As a Senators fan I will enjoy this series. Could care less who wins just hope for a great series. On paper the Bruins should win this series once again but for some reason these two just seem to bring out the best in each other. Should go to game 6 at least.

Agreed. After watching the Islanders smack around the Pens last night, it was enough to get me to cheer for them.

Playoff hockey is probably the best professional sport in North America.

 

All subjective. I'm a Canadian and hockey doesn't do anything for me anymore. If you like speed and muscle it's a great game, but there's not much intricacy to it.

I absolutely love it. Regular season I am kind of meh about, but playoffs is when you get the 16 best teams and they are all playing to another level. Something about it is very entertaining. With that said I will still take Baseball playoffs any day of the week over hockey but I do love NHL playoffs. The game last night where Columbus came back from being down 3-0 to Tampa was stunning.

one of you guys needs to start todays GT. i am already 0-1 on the season....

 

I think it's Bell's turn. I'm 0-1 too. Also don't want them to win tonight and have my road trip tomorrow affect mojo by me being too busy to keep up.

Sometimes simplicity is a plus. Football's strategy is way too complicated for my liking. With hockey, as you say, there's speed and probably 50 or 60 shots on goal per game on average.

Depends on the team and style they play. The New Jersey Devils in the 90's and early 2000's played the trap game. They rarely allowed an opponent to get more than 20 shots on net.... Lots of times would be more like 12 or something. Most boring system on Earth but it was very effective when done right.

That was one of the things that turned me off the game.
