Title: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Tiger on April 09, 2012, 10:25:47 pm
I know not a lot of Americans or Wii Uniters are in to hockey but is anyone planning on watching a few games or have a minor interest?  I'm a huge hockey fan so just curious if anyone else remotely follows a team. :P

I honestly don't watch sports much but hockey is one of the games that looks interesting enough to watch. I might watch a game or two and see if I can get into it a little. All I know about it is that the Dallas Stars were doing pretty well a few years ago.

They didn't make the playoffs this year.  Not sure who would be the next team to cheer for.  The Phoenix Coyotes are probably the closest team to Texas but I don't think they have a great chance of winning the cup.

That's cool man. I'll just go for whoever you go for.

Now the problem is that I'm not sure if any of the local channels broadcast hockey games. I don't have cable t.v :(

REDWINGS!!!!

I've been actually wanting to go to a game lately. We have a local team that plays but I haven't bothered to look up game info, haha. Oh well...

Detroit has a good chance of going far but Nashville's a pretty tough opponent this year as well.  Detroit has more experience but Nashville has a better rounded out team.  Should be a good series.

I wish.  Tonight was horrible.  They need Daniel Sedin.

Follow the Bruins, series with the caps has been good, all decided by one goal.

Love watching playoff hockey, college hockey and the olympics O0

Can't say I'm not a little happy Boston was knocked out (rivalry with them as a Canucks fan) though it was definitely close.

I guess I got to root for the flyers or Rangers going forward.

Coyotes are playing well, not looking good for Smashville.

Never would've seen Phoenix making it to the third round.  Both LA and Phoenix have gone through tought opponents.

Are you saying who you think will win the series?


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Slaught3r on May 09, 2012, 08:23:46 pm
Christ flyers are gone too, down to the rangers.  Caps are playing them real tough.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Tiger on May 12, 2012, 06:05:13 am
You're rooting for the Rangers then?  I'm honestly undecided.  I like both teams.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Slaught3r on May 12, 2012, 08:09:30 am
Rooting for the Rangers only cuz some of my friends are die hards.  Pretty much live and die Boston teams ;)

LA will win the cup. I'll be shocked if Phoenix manages to make a monumental comeback. I'm also rooting for the Rangers over the Devils, but all for the wrong reasons.

Devils lose means Mr. Parise will lose appeal with NJ this off season.  ;)


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Tiger on May 16, 2012, 08:32:21 pm
I'm going for Phoenix in the West (though they'll lose) and Devils in the East.  I don't hate the Rangers at all, I just want to see Brodeur retire with the cup after a shaky final two seasons.

ehh kings vs rangers unfortunately it came to this **** the kings

Devils won tonight though.  Should be close.

This has been a crazy playoffs. Can't believe the teams that won series this year....


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs

lol such an unexpected finals, not too interested in it though, unfortunately.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Termin8or on June 01, 2012, 06:37:17 am
yeah, no kidding. I have zero interest. I'd rather see LA win because they haven't ever won a cup and it's never exciting to see the Devils win  :-\ BUT, the Devils always seem to find some way to friggin grind out a Stanley Cup even when they don't have a lot of individually "talented" players.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Tiger on June 02, 2012, 07:14:15 pm
I'm going for the Devils, but mostly because the Kings kicked my team (Vancouver) out in the first round, when we could've won with Daniel Sedin in. :P

I don't know....I think LA is on a mission. Not sure if Daniel would have tipped the scale.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Paranoid71 on June 04, 2012, 02:42:57 pm
^ I agree.


I'm going for the Devils because the Kings beat the Coyotes, and I like Broudeur and Parise. (sp?)



Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Termin8or on June 04, 2012, 06:04:02 pm
Yeah, I've got a soft spot for Brodeur since he's played on so many team Canada games. I just find the Devils so blah, but I have no love for the Kings either.

Wish it was the Habs  :'(


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Slaught3r on June 06, 2012, 04:45:23 am
Hmm a pretty good #8 seed.  Never thought offense would trump defense, Devils need to go 70's on the Kings in game 4.


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: Termin8or on June 06, 2012, 05:37:15 am
YEAH, EVEN THOUGH LA IS KICKING BUTT RIGHT NOW, I FIGURED NJ WOULD IMPLEMENT THE TRAP TO PERFECTION AND COMPLETELY SMOTHER THE PLAY. I GUESS THEY'VE GOTTEN TOO FAR FROM THEIR ROOTS :)

I agree, they still might've won.

^ I agree.
You only agree because you hate both me, and the Canucks.  Lulz.

Well, it's decided. The Kings are the champs.

Just glad to see former Canuck Willie Mitchell raise the cup second, after the captain.  He deserves it at the age of 35. O0


Title: Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Post by: LOTRboy88 on June 15, 2012, 11:32:14 pm
I just hate it when I'm right. :P

Seriously, though, I'm happy for the Kings. First cup in their 44 year history.

Come on over, Zach! We need ya!
