Bmwolf21 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Could see three series end tonight, with Colorado at home and Philly and Montreal going for the knockout on the road. Philadelphia at Washington, Game 5 (Flyers lead series 3-1) 1 p.m. ET, NBC - Preview Montreal at Boston, Game 6 (Montreal leads 3-2) 7 p.m. ET, Versus - Preview Minnesota at Colorado, Game 6 (Colorado leads 3-2) 10 p.m. ET, Versus - Preview NHL Scoreboard
SabresFan526 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I'm loving the way the Caps have come out so far. And, I know I'm generally a big defender of Briere on here, but I think more than I defend him, I just wish he still played for Buffalo. But, when I watch Philly play against the Caps, I just don't find myself rooting for him. I in fact have become a fan of the Caps because I hate the Flyers so much. By the way, Federov has played awesome in the first. He's been totally rejuvenated in Washington.
bob_sauve28 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 What would a round of the playoffs be without a seventh game thrown in? Nice work Caps!
Chief Enabler Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Federov is the most American-ized Russian i've ever heard. :blink:
Chief Enabler Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 When did Florence Henderson get hired by NBC Sports?
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 What would a round of the playoffs be without a seventh game thrown in? Nice work Caps! Hey they still have to win one more!
carpandean Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Hey they still have to win one more! With six series at 3-2, I'm sure we'll have at least one game seven in this round. I hope it's the Caps-Flyers game, but ...
X. Benedict Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Federov is the most American-ized Russian i've ever heard. :blink: Did this exchange happen, or did I hear it wrong: Pierre Maguire: How about the noise of this Washington crowd, what is your reaction? Federov: They are really irrelevant. :blink:
Bmwolf21 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 Did this exchange happen, or did I hear it wrong: Pierre Maguire: How about the noise of this Washington crowd, what is your reaction? Federov: They are really irrelevant. :blink: Federov didn't wait for Maguire to finish a single question. I think the question was about how loud the building was today in comparison to the last time Sergei played a playoff series in Washington (Red Wings-Caps in the 1998 SCF) but Federov jumped the gun on his answer.
bob_sauve28 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Hey they still have to win one more! Darn, I thought that was game 6 :oops:
SabresFan526 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I tell you what, I just looked at the Caps salary cap. If they re-sign Huet and Federov, this team's going to be really good next year as they'll get a healthy Nylander and Chris Clark back in the fold. Combine Federov, Nylander, Clark, Kozlov, Poti, Huet with the youngstars like AO, Mike Green, Backstrom, and Semin and this team will be really good next year. If the Caps kept Federov at like $3.5 million/year and signed Huet to an extension at $3.5-4 million/year, and they sign Mike Green to a long term extension, they'll be really good and have the youngsters there for a long time. George McPhee deserves a lot of credit for sticking to his plan and building through the draft and adding key guys as needed. I'd be excited if I were a Caps fan, too bad there are like only 3 true fans in all of D.C.
millbank Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Go Bruins. Another great night of hockey.... good tough hitting
jrsarkov Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 gaustad- sports hernia. what's up with that.
carpandean Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 gaustad- sports hernia. what's up with that. Good thing they have a long off-season. Anyone know how long the recovery time is for that? Summer time is huge for conditioning. (Note: I am assuming that we will re-sign him, otherwise who cares.)
millbank Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Just like that 4-3 and than 4-4 three minutes remain.. hold on another one , Boston leads 5-4 good grief...
jrsarkov Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I cannot believe that i want the HABS to win a series, but Boston believes they are much better than they are and i can't stand them. Tim Thomas is winning playoff games- Tim frickin Thomas
millbank Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Nothing like a game seven of a series. Great games to see so far
SabresFan526 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 This is the game I've been looking forward to all night. I love the fast paced style of hockey both of these teams play. That Bruins-Habs game had some furious scoring in the third. Wow. Well, we have at least one Game 7.
Bmwolf21 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Posted April 20, 2008 Man, Guite wasn't getting caught on that breakaway...1-0 Avs. EDIT: Sakic gets the assist, his 100th career playoff helper. Congrats to Joe...
carpandean Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Looks like the Vs. announcers heard my complaints: they called him "John Liles" during the last PP. I withdraw my objection as long as RJ gets that memo, too (though, I still think we have much higher priorities).

FWIW, I think those are CBC announcers...my Versus feed shows the CBC logo in the upper corner...
SabresFan526 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 FWIW, I think those are CBC announcers...my Versus feed shows the CBC logo in the upper corner... It is CBC. In fact, it is Jim Hughson of the EA Sports NHL games fame. Hughson and Bill Clement threw in the commentary for those video games. Hughson's voice is so distinct and kind of funny sounding to me. Either way, it's been an exciting game so far.

SabresFan526 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 For some reason, when the Sabres are out of it, I always resort to following the Avs as they have always been my bandwagon team. I love their speed, style of play, and I've always been a huge fan of Sakic. I'm glad they moved on. It's nice to see the old Avs (Sakic, Forsberg, and Foote), the only ones to have played in Quebec, showing up big in the clutch tonight. Well the first round is nearing an end, let's see how the games turn out tomorrow. Even though Buffalo's not in it, it's still been fun to watch. I want to see Dallas win tomorrow night as I hate the Ducks and their style of play. I also grew up in Dallas, so I do have a soft spot in my heart for the Stars. Bring on the onslaught of hatred towards me.
