2011 NHL Playoffs

[sweetcell]

We'll see who watches a Tampa Bay-San Jose final, and more importantly, who's the first to complain about "all these expansion teams ruining hockey for the True North"....

i've never made that complaint.  FYI, those expansion teams ARE true north:

TB: 17 out of 27 players are canadian (63%), including all goalies, the captain and 1 assistant captain. 
SJ: 18 out of 29 players are canadian (62%), including the captain and all A's.

TB-SJ would make for a lackluster final IMO because TB's game is effective but relatively boring.  VAN-PHL would be my pick, if i had one.

note the title of this thread.  hard to believe, but there is more to the playoffs than the caps so the thread will remain relevant beyond last night's elimination.

...

With that mentality why don't we just have a Redwings v 'some team from the other conference' final every year?

Just put the wankees straight into the world series while we're at it?

In Scotland they can just have Celtic and Rang.....oh wait, never mind

In Spain..Barca and Real Ma.....SHIT! This is harder than I thought!!

I wouldn't mind a SJ/TB final. Let's see if SJ can actually score in a brothel with a fist full of hundreds.

I'm not gonna listen to that but I'm gonna give Buccigross a pass anyway. Used to read him a lot when I was younger and he always pimped good indie bands who deserved the exposure.

Tonight's game was incredible. Both teams playing like it was the last game of their lives in the 2nd period. Wings totally blew the Sharks off the ice in the 3rd. Looking forward to Thursday.
