Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 02 May 06 - 12:40 AM OK I got it wrong, the bet is, Sing the praises of the other guy's team when your's get's put out. SO I guess, what we need to do is say nice things about whoever wins the cup, unless none of our teams wins the cup. In that case we say nice things about the last team in that one of us was rooting for. I's confusing but a fun bet! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: leftydee Date: 01 May 06 - 11:14 PM Legace stunk but the tying goal was kicked in after being hit with a high stick by Horcoff in front of the net. The officiating was horrendous thru most of the series but.... The Oilers deserved to win. The Wings didn't deserve to be on the same ice as Edmonton. Zetterberg, Lang and Yserman were the only guys that showed up for the series. Now.... back to baseball. Go Tigers! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Steve Latimer Date: 01 May 06 - 11:02 PM Well, you can't blame Legace tonight. Roloson stole the show, especially in the second period. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 01 May 06 - 10:57 PM OK Wings fans... Sorry to say so but its time to pay off the bet! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: leftydee Date: 01 May 06 - 10:50 AM Boy.... am I disappointed!!! Legace has really stunk the place up with all his drama, lying there like he's dead after a goal. It's very uncool to show up your teammates like that. He'd best be on his game tonight. The whole team seems passionless too.I can't imagine what's going on. Hopefully, the real Wings will show up tonight. This was predictable (although, I didn't predict it) as the Oilers have given our boys fits all year. LET"S GO RED WINGS! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 29 Apr 06 - 11:24 PM Whether the Cup belongs in Detroit this year depends on their playoff goldtending. So far Roloson has been tha man and Legace hasn't. Manny is going to have to step up his game A LOT. For the Red Wings to be a contender. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 29 Apr 06 - 11:20 PM Well, Beer, it's now "sudden death" to the end of this series. You're right - the guys haven't played worth a damn this whole series, and, I don't think they deserve to win it, but - this is the playoffs and they are a great road team, so who knows. About today, though, it seemed as though they couldn't buy a goal for two periods. Finally - the Stars came out and played a good game last night and I'll write this - if they come back from being down three to zero they will go all the way to the cup, which, by the way, belongs in HOCKEYTOWN - GO RED WINGS!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 29 Apr 06 - 11:02 PM Thanks for the congrats Beer, of course since 1999, we've been consistantly been disappointed. We ain't countin our chickens. Congrats to Devils fans. The Rangers had a lot of bad luck this year. The next series probably won't be as easy. Can the Habs beat Carolina? Probably not, so it looks like NJ vs the Canes and Ottawa taking on the winner of Buffalo-Philly. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 29 Apr 06 - 10:09 PM Well Beer, the playoffs, as you know, often create unlikely heroes and equally unlikely bums. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 29 Apr 06 - 09:57 PM Congratulations you Ottawa fans you deserve to move on. As for the Red Wings, they played as if they shouldn't had even made the play offs. Man what is wrong with them? In fact the whole series so far even the games they've won they stink. The goalie is playing worst than Osgood would. The only spark on the whole goddamn team is Steve Yezeman and he is out. Now that I've vented I feel just a little bit better. "Go Wings Go" Beer |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Steve Latimer Date: 29 Apr 06 - 06:03 PM Well, the Leafs are out, the season is over for me. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 28 Apr 06 - 07:44 PM Right on Brother Tex. Lefty is down at the Joe giving the boys a little pep talk. Don't forget it's an afternoon game. I'll miss most of it as I have to work for an auctioneer. Beer |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,Texas Guest Date: 28 Apr 06 - 06:07 PM Sure, I'm happy - the WINGS squared it up at two apiece so it's now down to a three-game series. Folks over in Dallas are not so happy though - being down to Colorado by three games. Both teams have a heated rivaly with the WINGS so I'll just sit back and hope for an exciting game tonight; but tomorrow it's - GO WINGS!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 28 Apr 06 - 05:51 PM I think Bobad is on to something there. The last two games Ottawa has really gelled as a team. Emery played flawlessly last night. No goalie could have stopped the two that went in an he made some great saves. Ottawa showed some much overdue grit on tuesday and if they keep that same fire, they are going to be very tough to beat. Ottawa matches up very well against this new Jersey team. The Devils sure won't outscore Ottawa 16-2 in three games. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 28 Apr 06 - 05:30 PM Hmmm, it seems many are selling Ottawa short, you may be in for a surprise. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: ToulouseCruise Date: 28 Apr 06 - 05:07 PM okay, I be back.... Leafs are long gone, but enjoying the four Canadian teams who are in it.... I predict either Buffalo or NJ from the east going against Calgary in the west.... Coaching changes? buh bye Quinn, hello Maurice in Toronto... buhbye Crawford, hello Quinn in Vancouver.... GM Patrick gone from Pittsburg, reports that they may get player agent pat Brisson in to take over... gonna be fun playoffs, and fun offseason! B. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 28 Apr 06 - 11:09 AM Now its Cal 2 ducks 2 Oilers 2 Wings 2 Canadians 2-1 but struggling and Sens 3 Lightning 1 Go Sens!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 27 Apr 06 - 02:06 PM Bardford, When I said it Oilers and Habs were up 2-0 Flames and Sens were at 1-1 and I gave the tiebreaker to Sens for their regular season. now that all they are all leading their series 2-1, I say GO CANADA!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 27 Apr 06 - 01:38 PM I agree, Beer. Now Koivu is out, it's looking more like Devils/Flames in the final.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 27 Apr 06 - 12:49 AM Bullshit.... No way for that final. Great to see some of the originals on this thread show up. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,Bardford Date: 26 Apr 06 - 10:45 PM So, JTS, your list of Canadian teams looks like this?: Calgary Montreal Ottawa Edmonton Pretty much how I see it, too :-) (I'm thinking we're in for a Habs/Flames final.) Jeez, I hope Saku's eye is okay... |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 26 Apr 06 - 10:38 PM They won tonight! Maybe they'll give Buffalo a run for their money! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Pseudolus Date: 26 Apr 06 - 10:28 PM Hmmm, I wonder which Flyers team is the real Flyers team. they're driving me crazy but I think they're back! Go Flyers! Frank |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,JTS Date: 26 Apr 06 - 11:33 AM Yeah who'd a thought at this point the Senators would look like the third best Canadian team. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 26 Apr 06 - 11:30 AM Don't remind me. The Oilers are playing like the Canadians. Lots of passion, nothing to loose and great goaltending. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,JTS Date: 26 Apr 06 - 09:47 AM If the Red Wings don't get on their horse, AND SOON!! the old nickname will come back. "Dead things" |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 26 Apr 06 - 09:37 AM Oh!! Dear......... Now they really need a spark lit under their arse. Beer |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST,JTS Date: 26 Apr 06 - 03:02 AM Nope can't afford all that pubbing. I'm glad at the outcome though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 25 Apr 06 - 10:26 PM well JtS, I trust you had an enjoyable evening watching the game at the pub tonight. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 25 Apr 06 - 08:04 PM The first period had the Sens playing the way they are capable of, now if they keep it up for two more they should have this one. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 25 Apr 06 - 07:07 PM Good to hear from you Lefty. I wondered where you had went. Now where is Tex, and Big Mick? We need our Red Army here as things should start getting interesting. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 25 Apr 06 - 02:11 PM Wade Redden is back for tonights game. Maybe he'll steady up Ottawa's defense. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: leftydee Date: 25 Apr 06 - 01:56 PM hey Beer and Tex! 15 to go!! The Oilers are looking good though, but the Wings should be able to handle them. It's so good to have the Octopi back on the ice. Lefty |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 25 Apr 06 - 07:43 AM Ron Olesko is in good shape. Everyone else on that list has cause for concern. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 25 Apr 06 - 06:49 AM Habs are doing well. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Beer Date: 25 Apr 06 - 06:39 AM Have to admit there going to be tough for Carolina to beat. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 24 Apr 06 - 10:48 PM Well, well how about them Habs eh Beer. A team on a mission. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 24 Apr 06 - 09:51 PM A lot of lead changes tonight. Pretty exciting game with lots of scoring. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: GUEST Date: 24 Apr 06 - 09:44 PM Montreal going into overtime. Are they for real?? Don't think so. Beer |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Apr 06 - 10:10 PM THey played well for the first half of the first period. Then they acted like they were afraid of the puck. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 23 Apr 06 - 08:53 PM Well, it's on to Florida for the Sens. hope they rediscover the intensity that they are capable of - sure didn't have it tonight. Alfie is missing in action. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Apr 06 - 05:48 PM Yeah Bobad. We don't have cable (OLN) so we're going out to a pub to watch it on the big screen. YaaaaaHooooooo!!!!! Go SENS!!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: wysiwyg Date: 23 Apr 06 - 04:53 PM Oh yes, we have arranged our next several weeks around such facts! :~) Best of luck, all. You know, I really have been focusing on underdogs this year-- Hawks, Pens, even our nearest UHL team (Elmira Jackals). So it is not an understatement to say that I am really enjoying top-level play. In fact, I am assembling a list of things ONLY the really good teams do, and ALL of which a team MUST be able to do in order to win the Cup. Things I haven;t ever seen done in hockey, that these teams CAN do. I'll post it when it;s all over-- and we can chat it up then, and it will help with the withdrawal. In the meantime-- how many of you had a heads-up that the OT idea would be totally different in the playoffs? A whole full-length intermission followed by one or more extra 20-minute periods of sudden death. I have not heard either OLN or NBC "experts" on this point.... boy do I miss my regular commentators! What else do we need to know about rule differences? ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Hockey's back...Are ya happy about it? From: bobad Date: 23 Apr 06 - 04:46 PM Just a reminder that tonight's game between the Senators and Lightning is a 6:00 PM ET start. |
