SJ-DAL

It's been a long time since the real Avs-Wings rivalry, but it's interesting to see how they react to each other this time.
Hard to say who I'm cheering for, but I'm hoping the conference finals would be MTL-PIT and DAL-COL.
Usually I've cheered for Avs and/or Stars, but this year Pens and Habs have had great seasons, so I think they deserve a win too.

But anyways, as long as Detroit is out, I'm happy :)
The only team I hate with passion. :P

Why do you think all the stats are restarted? Why do you think the wings have claimed the president's trophy 3 times in the last 5 years, but have failed to win the cup since '02? Playoffs is a fresh start.

Laxman 41 wrote:Yeah Wings are my team and their going all the way this year. The Avs suck major balls, they played a crappy, injury-ridden Wild team and they think they're hot shit. The Sharks have lost all their momentum and are flopping. In the east Montreal barely beat Boston, I don't think they would have a chance against the penguins, but I'm hoping Washington pulls off a victory, Alex Ovechkin is a BAMF.

The sharks have lost all their momentum and are flopping? They are playing the calgary flames, not the LA kings. Just because a team takes a series to game 7, doesn't at all mean they are flopping. It took the wings 6 games to eliminate the flames last year, and the 8th seeded nashville predators in 6 games this year.

I was saying that they lost all the momentum they had going into the playoffs because they were like 16-2 in there last 18 games and during game 3 I think, when the Sharks went up 3-0 in 3 minutes and lost! That kills a team. And who the hell was talking about the regular season? Of course everything changes come playoff time. I think the wings have the depth to go all the way, talent through all 4 lines. And why would you talk about last year? Teams change, you can't compare previous years teams against current teams.

While they were very active at the trade deadline and have potential, they simply aren't a great team at the moment. They were the worst team in the league a matter of months ago. Sure they captured the southeast division, but its a terrible division and somebody had to win it.

Check out the NHL 08 simulation at TSN:

So far the winners/losers have been very accurat, and I agree with how it plays out through the entire playoffs.

The problem with the simulation happens in the 3rd round. The Red Wings outplayed the Sharks in almost every game they played against them. I don't see how San Jose is better than the Wings at this point.

Playing a potential 7 game series is a lot different then having a few games a year between the two clubs. Especially playing every 2nd night (usually), and the travel to and from each city. I could see either team taking the west. It's just a matter of who wants it more 8) .
