I was watching Edmonton and Detroit last night. Edmonton were unlucky with penalties. In the first period they gave away about 5 or 6. I couldn't believe Detroit's second goal. The puck rebopunded off both posts and in off Holstroms skate I think. It was 2-2 when I went to bed, it was 1 o'clock!! Anybody know the final score?
Also, I saw that Soku Koivu is going to miss a good bit for the Canadiens. It could end their play-offs.

Sounds like you were watching an "As Live" match because they're playing today and played two days ago. The last one ended 4-2.

Do any one of ye know if eighter Otowa or NY Rangers are in the playoffs. I was over at their match in the Madison Sq Garden last week and Otowa are a class act. Ended up winning 5-1, also the yanks are the most fickle nation Ive ever seen, as soon as they went down 3-1 half the spectators left, by the end the only people left were those who waited to boo each player off the rink!:rolleyes:

The NY Rangers have been absolutely whipped out of it 4-0 by the New Jersey Devils in the 1st round of the playoffs. That's the Devils 15th win in a row.
Ottawa are 3-1 up over Tampa Bay and need one more to take the series.

Being deep within Sabres country, playoff fever has hit Buffalo!
After winning the first two games at home, we lost twice away in Philly so it's all tied up.
I was at first game, 3-2 win in double over time, unreal atmosphere.
Edmonton won today, and New Jersey looked rediciously good.

Here's all of last night's results the scores in brackets were the scores at the end of 1st, 2nd and 3rd periods respectively. What this does is show you how the game progressed. www.livescore.com
Was watching hockey last night (Calgary & Ottowa) due to combination of body clock messed up doing allnighter at work & sick in bed.
Surprisingly entertaining & none of the usual stoppages that other american sports have. Seems to be good atmosphere at games too. Is that just a canadian thing?

I don't know. But the rendition of O, Canada seemed to be very moving. Ottawa's second goal was a cracker. Good decision on the one that was ruled out. I think it had hit both his skates in the end.

The atmosphere is great at all NHL Ice Hockey games. However it is the Canadians national sport so a game between Canadian teams would be that bit more special.

Yeah the NY rangers fans did get behind there team alright at the start except they only have one chant but I expect this is the norm in american sports, it was the same at the baseball game I was at aswell!

Today's scores
Buffalo 3-0 Philly
(Buffalo leads series 3-2)
Dallas 2-3 Colorado
(Colorado wins the series)
I have to say that hockey is the best of all the North American sports. A quick, tough sport with lots of skill. Also size doesn't matter so there is a great mix of big tough fellas and small skillful lads.
The atmosphere is normally good at games, but seeing as it is playoff's now, the atmosphere is unreal. It's not just games involing Canadian teams that have the best atmosphere, but the biggest rivials are up North, the Battle of Alberta between Edmonton and Calgary and any Toronto versus Montreal games are very special.
Even the Sun Belt teams like Dallas, Carolina, Nashville and San Jose get good crowds.
Far better sport to baseball, basketball and american football.

I don't like basketball. Baseball is glorified cricket. I like the NFL though. But yeah, ice hockey's the best. Great action. And as someone else pointed out, not as many stopages as in other American sports.

been following it myself lately, (been sucked in have the playoff beard as well ! !) its a great sport, never payed too much attention to it at home (in montreal on holiday at the moment) as superfrank mentioned, its great stuff, so fast, great action, no diving or cheating, you get hit you get hit, you'd better be back on your feet asap.. been trying to get a ticket for tomorrow nights game montreal V carolina but the prices are ridicolous - 100 dollars average price.. if anyone has connections ???

Went to a Rangers game whilst in New York a couple of years ago. Great craic. Highly recommend it to anyone wishing to get their sporting fix in USA
(Oh and I'm an American sports junkie BTW - www.sportsline.com is by far the best website IMO)

Great game last night as Edmonton came back from being 2-0 down, tied it at two, but then scored 2 more goals all in the final period to wrap up the series. That's the first time in years that a number 8 seed has knocked off a number 1 seed.
Very interesting out west considering the top two seeds, Detroit and Dallas have both been knocked out. Should be interesting.

I watched a bit of the first last night between Colorado and Anaheim.
I couldn't believe the result between Carolina and NJ. 1-1 with 20 seconds to go, NJ score and then with 4 seconds left Carolina equalise and win it in Overtime!!
Saku Koivu underwent surgeruy on a tear to his retina last Saturday. He'll be in hospital for a few weeks yet.

According to the Canadiens website he is progressing nicely with his recovery and his hopeful of being 100% before the new season begins.

Retina tear is pretty bad though. Everytime I see the accident again it'd really stomach churning.
In my round-up I forgot to mention Ilya Brzygalov's shutout run came to an end after 3 games. I think it was around 248 mins by the time Colorado had scored last night.
Who do ye support? Is it like picking english football teams?
I've only seen few games on Setanta (when they not showing boring baseball) but running out of Canadians to support over the yanks.
I believe hockey well down the pecking order in US sports & big money loser?

It definitely is the 4th sport in most US cities but in the northern cities (Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo etc) it'd be very popular. Its also seen as a "white" sport by most. The rangers game I went to was sold out and they already had no chance of a playoffs spot.
Chicago calls itself a hockey town...

I support the Toronto Maple Leafs. I always ahd a passing interest in ice hockey when they'd show it on Eurosport and now that I can watch it on Setanta, it's been rekindled.
I support Toronto because Toronto was the first place in North America that I went to and I was staying in a hotel where I could see Maple Leaf Gardens from my room.

Big money loser. They was no season in 2004/5 because of the Lockout. Apparently all NHL francises had lost a combined c.$248m on players wages.
Its a surprise they lose money with 82 regular season games in 15-20k areans. Must be paying the players far too much then?

No surprise about Anaheim really theyd beaten Colorado 5-0 and 3-0 in the first two games.
Glad to see Ottawa and Edmonton won.

Just checked the updates Buffalo won 4-1 against Ottawa so they'll face the winner of NJ and Carolina.
Edmonton tied their series with SJ at 2-2.
Ottowa v Buffalo was good game but i couldn't last the pace into overtime. Lot of power plays & seemed fairly physical game. Buffalo goalie too good, Buffalo more attacking ideas.

Edmonton through. 2-0 in the game against SJ. 4-2 in the series.
I had taped the game but it ran out a few minutes into the third period when it was still 1-0 so I missed the second goal.
Conference Finals will be:
East
Buffalo vs. Carolina
West
Anaheim vs. Edmonton
superfrank

Haven't been around here lately. For those interested: It's Buffalo 2 Carolina 1 in the East and Edmonton 3 Anaheim 1 in the West.
Buffalo and Carolina play tonight.
superfrank

Ok, well the Stanley Cup Final will start next Monday on June 5.
Edmonton will be away to either Buffalo or Carolina for the first two games. They'll be at home for the next two, away for Games 5 and 7 and then home again for Game 6.
The Buffalo-Carolina series is 3-3 so it goes down to the last game at Carolina (I think) on Thursday night. The winner of that game wins the series and the Eastern Conference and they'll go onto the Stnaley Cup Final against Edmonton.

Western Conference teams from South of the US border have tended to do better in the Stanley Cup Final than Eastern Conference teams.
And Eastern Conference teams from South of the US border have tended to do better than Western Conference teams from North of the US Border.
It's time some team from Canada got the Cup back... Go Oilers!
