Flyers lose 3-2 tonight. *cries* It's going to be hard as hell for them to climb out of this, but I don't doubt that they can. By the way, their last four losses have come after 2-day breaks in the playoffs, and they've won 6 straight games coming off 1-day breaks...Last two games have one day breaks...Go Flyers.

What a game. I loved that Primeau, Roenick, Amonte line..and I'm so happy that they won. 1:45 left in the game and they tied it up, crazy! It was pretty physical as well. Bring on game 7 then! I have faith in them.

The Germanator · 05-20-2004, 11:49 PM

Yes indeed. Hell of a game. I heard them tie it up, and I was like, "should I listen to OT or go to a performance on campus?" I actually chose the performance because I'm not sure how much I could take...I was totally happy when I came back and checked ESPN.com though. Good job Flyers. Primeau has had a legendary playoff performance, no doubt. I'm busy all of Saturday, so I might not catch any of game 7 either, but oh well, go Flyers.

Primeau is awesome... But I think a Flames/Lightnings finals would be more entertaining.

Even if it wasn't the Flyers playing the Lightning, I still wouldn't want to see the Lightning go to the Stanely Cup Finals. I'm glad that Calgary has made it though, because we haven't seen much out of them for a while.

I say that the Flyers/Flames series ( if it were to be) would be way better. Because both teams have hard hitters, not saying Tampa doesnt, just that the Flyers utilize their Hard Hitters more often. Plus i think it would be a super entertaining series. Plus i want to see Iginla scrap Roenick.

well, thats the same tampa tho, havnt seen much from them.
i'm happy to see some new teams make it far. that gets fans from thier area interested and helps the NHL.

Calgary vs Tampa sure wouldnt be good for ratings. but perhaps it will bring in future fans of hockey for thier cities. in the long run it would help.

Joeiss · 05-21-2004, 09:10 PM

See 17th Avenue in Calgary? If they win the Cup, I think that street would be partying for a good week or two.

Well, I don't care for Tampa because I don't think that they should have a team. Florida...hockey....

It's all my fault. I should have never said that. I have never hated TAMPA BAY this much before.

Maybe next year....

How nice it would be if a Canadian team won the cup.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: ya, nice goal.

Joeiss · 05-25-2004, 09:56 PM

3-0 now. Go Canada Go.

I mean, Go Flames Go.

Seth · 05-25-2004, 10:21 PM

The Lightning are finishing their checks a much harder than the Flames.

I demand change!

this is the one thing i've never understood about canada. They always want everything to be us vs ca, however they are the only ones that want such and it never turns out that way.

Canada : we won olympic gold!! *celebration lasts weeks long* in your face US!

US: they play hockey in the olympics?

--------

national sporting event.
Canada: who do you want to win the championship?

US: oh it doesnt matter, my teams not in it anymore. how bout you?

Canada: Any canadian team so we can beat the americans!

US:

um. sure, whatever.

--------

hehehe. i actually think most want calgary to win just cuz they're underdogs. so basically everyone is rooting for calgary anyway.

Typhoid · 05-26-2004, 01:16 AM

We want it as a country because the odds are totally against us...we have 6 teams....thats it.....and most of the time they eliminate the others..And maybe.....just maybe, this is a longshot....but maybe we all just really like hockey for the mostpart.

And im only like this for hockey, any other sport i only stand by one team....all the teams i stand by for are canadian...but still, the fact remains. And im pretty sure very few Americans ( besides on this board..yes im generalizing, so dont be a genious and say i am) probably want an American team to win as well...This is pretty much the only sport that Canada and the US play eachother in that we have more than one team...besides lacrosse..

( No i didnt forget the MLB.....the Expos dont count....)
