[Zac]

The team with the most goals

[WolfmanNCSU]

Then you must be pulling for Ottawa who has scored 314 goals this season, followed closely by Detroit with 305 and my Carolina Hurricanes with 294!

[HeroOfTimeGCN]

DETROOOOOOOOIT!!

Die hard Wings fan here :D Watching the game right now, Chelios had ONE HELL of a hit about 3 minutes into the 3rd period.

EDIT: Oilers 4 Wings 2. Series tied 1-1. Wings made a semi-stupid move when they emptied the net at 1 minute, Oilers took advantage and scored at 17.2. Wings had a chance, just didnt take good advantage of it.

[Grif]

Detroit Red Wings all the way. They slipped up today, but the boys are going to right the ship.

I'm hoping for two championship parades in the D' this june.

[HeroOfTimeGCN]

I'll be there if it happens. Detroit is THE defining team in the NHL. They've always shown the world what NHL Hockey is, and always will.

Gonna look into getting some playoff tix at Joe Louis, i've never been to a red wings game, and as a fan im ashamed :(

[The Dude]

Red Wings all the way, I just hope Yzerman gets to play more. For the East I would like to see the Rangers get to the Finals, but have a feeling it will be Ottawa

[Blaksmoke]

How the hell did the Flyers make the playoffs?!

[WolfmanNCSU]

Canes even the Series! WOOHOO

Dallas is facing elimination tonight versus Colorado.

[speed stick]

Oh yes, just found this thread. My Oilers owned the Red Wings and they are going to finish off the Sharks tonight in Edmonton.

[speed stick]

Oh yes, Oilers vs Anahiem!!! Carolina vs Buffalo!

[sstrayer]

I wanted the sharks to win vs Edmonton so I could catch a game against the Ducks up at the pond.

[speed stick]

You can still catch a game against the oilers at the pond.

[Dralor]

Ha ha I wouldn't say the Oiler's won that series against the Red Wings so much as the Red Wings choked again.;-]

[speed stick]

Well they choked because the Oilers outplayed them. Detroit is too old.

Well after the first its 1-1 between Anahiem and Oilers. I loved the Oilers first goal, assisted by Roloson.

[Dralor]

Except it seems just about any team can make the Red Wings choke in the playoffs since we lost Scotty but I'll give you that your goalie had a pretty good series.

[speed stick]

lol. I guese.

Oilers beat Anahiem in game one. 3-1. Feels so good.

[speed stick]

Buffalo wins game one 3-2.

[speed stick]

Oh hells ya! Oilers win game 2 and lead the series 2 games to none.

[rpgamer_2k5]

Oilers kicking ass outside homebase. Now just wait til they play in their home arena. Edmonton has a kickass fan. :)

Go Edmonton. Take it to 3 - 0.

[WolfmanNCSU]

[speed stick]

They have the loudest arena in the NHL. So awesome living close to Edmonton with everyone with those flags. I can't wait till tommorow.

Theses are really close series. Good matchups.

PS: Edmonton leads series 2-0, not Anahiem.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Yikes, I typoed...Edmonton Leads 2 games to none. Thanks for the catch.

[speed stick]

:) np

[speed stick]

OILERS WIN AGAIN!!!!!!! The Oilers win 5-4. Wow, such a good game when the Oilers got up 4-0. Then Damn Anahiem came back to make it 4-3. Then Pisani scored to make it 5-3 which gave me a breether. But, of course Anahiem has to make the game close by scoring with 1 minute and 40 seconds left. Anahiem should have scored with like 10 seconds left but it hopped over Lupuls stick.


Wow, what a game. So relieving to know that the Oilers are leading the series by a good margin.

[bobo_ess]

I am going for edmonton...since vancouver didn't even make it...

[speed stick]

^Good choice. ;)

[speed stick]

Unfortuently the Ducks won a game. I expected it to happen from the way they played in the 3rd period of game 3. The Oilers will still take the series.

[WolfmanNCSU]

Hard to pull out of a series when you are down 3-0. At least they got one win.

The Eastern Conference has a real battle....Canes and Sabers tied at 2!

[speed stick]

YEAH!!! Oilers win game 5 to move onto the Stanley Cup finals!!!!! I wish I could have watched the game but I was at my grad party.

I am rooting for Buffalo in the East for some reason. With that series 2-2 its gonna be a tough battle tonight.

[speed stick]

Buffalo Manages to stay in the playoffs to force a game 7. Its a good thing because that means who ever wins the next game will only have a small rest since game 1 of the stanley cup finals was Monday anyway.

[speed stick]

Oh hell yeah, a third post in a row.

Canes win game 7 and face off against the Oilers for the cup. Just to let everyone know in this really busy thread.

[DofD]

Go Oilers!!

[speed stick]

YA! Another Oilers fan!!!

[WolfmanNCSU]

My Canes are going for the cup. This is looking like a great series! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MONDAY!

[speed stick]

Monday will be the day!

[speed stick]

All that I have to say is "WTF". Like seriously. How in the hell do they give up a 3-0 lead. Then Roloson gets hurt and he is now out of the rest of the series. Then, at the end with 30 seconds left Conklin and smith screw it up. Then thers Ward, I just can't believe that there is a goalie that good out there. It just does not make any sense.

[speed stick]

OMG!!! The Oilers finally won. I sure hope its all down hill from here on in for the Huricanes.

[GTATrumpet]

Tonight is the last game. :spiny:

[speed stick]

Of the day I hope. Its 3-3 going into the third.




THE OILERS SCORE IN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF OVERTIME TO WIN IT 4-3!!!!

Back to Edmonton we go!!!

[WolfmanNCSU]

And the wolf is back to the forum, and pulling for my Canes.

I hated to see them loose last night, but that's the price you pay when you turn the puck over like that on your side of the ice.

It may not be on home ince, but we can lift the trophey in Edmonton (I won't complain). Let's go Canes!

[speed stick]

I can't wait to see the game tommorow. Wesley's 4th time in the stanley cup finals and hes yet to lift the cup. He was defeated twice by Edmonton already and I hope it happens again. Its also nice to hear that Weight is out. Hope Aaron Ward is as well.

[speed stick]

The Oilers Owned the Canes last night. 4-0 to tie the series at 3 a piece. Game 7 is gonna be good.

[bobo_ess]

yup...can't wait...edmonton will be off the hook if they win...bunch of drunk oilers with time off
