Yeah..I've heard that it might be the Penguins or the Blues. Hartford was a great hockey town if I remember correctly. Isn't there an AHL team there now?

HKphooey said:Yeah we have the Ranger's farm team, Wolf Pack. They are really good, too.
mrhnau said:If it was, why did they leave? Perhaps things have changed. If they get a new team, maybe the morons at ESPN will stop calling the Hurricanes the Whalers. I'm sick of that. Its been 10 years. Let it die! I guess for that reason I'd like to see them get a new team.
HKphooey said:That's becasue ESPN is based in Bristol, Connecticut. I am surprised that kind of talk has not jinxed the 'Canes.
Kensai said:Mine - Oil in 6. (And I do believe I've just jinxed them)
Anyone else care to make a sportsmans bet?
Paul B said:I don't know...I personally feel that Edmonton is outclassed but not out-hearted,(LOL is that a word?) I say Carolina in 7.
It might very well turn out to be a "homer" series. Both teams are outstanding at home with all the fans playing the 7th D-man..whoever wins it's gonna be some outstanding hockey.
When was the last time Lord Stanley's Cup was brought home to Canada? I forget...it's been in America too long.. Let the trash talking begin....

It should be a great series I am looking forward to it
bydand said:Oilers in 6. Just have to root for the team that knocked out my beloved Redwings. Even though I personally don't like crossing the border all that well (New Brunswick needs to learn how to drive, LOL) I hope the cup does this year.

Likes:
Two line pass. This one is really a no-brainer.It really showcases the talent,plain and simple,both in good D-men able to make the passes and forwards who can take 'em to finish.
Obstruction/Hooking. This again clamps down on D-men mauling the little speedy guys. Sometimes this season they've gotten a little "iffy"..but for the most part the continuity of calls has been impressive. God bless Kerry Fraser and his Vitalis hair.
The "trapezoid". I like this one a lot..and I bet a ton of players out there do as well. It makes the D-men have to work a bit harder..but it has cut down on some Roy-esque blunders as well.
On the fence about shoot-outs..I like them and are frustrated by them at the same time. I think they should play a "play-off" type OT all season long. At least they can earn the win or the loss as a team. I think the 5 min. OT's are too short to start with and I never liked the empty feeling from a tie. Sooo..:idunno:
Dislikes:
Puck clearing penalty...come on.
Not being able to clear out the crease. This is as integral a part of ice hockey as playing with pucks...I will admit there has been a little slack in this department in the playoffs,though.
There's my 2c's.

...Anyone remember that? Tucker boarded him, crushed him so badly that when he SK tried to get up he was like Bambi on ice, and Jeremy Roenick had to use his stick to guide him off ice. GO DARCY! GO DARCY! GO DARCY! Anyway. More massive hits please.
Also noticed that Channel 5 will be showing the SC finals on terrestrial TV here in the UK!!! YEEEHAAAWWWW!!! I've been out and bought video cassettes to record it, it's on kinda late/early here... You BEAUTY!
Paul B said:YES!!!! That was one of the best hits I've ever seen..his legs looked like they were made of Jello and you could just see that any rational thought he had was knocked somewhere up by the 300 level railing...awesome. I couldn't believe that didn't KO him.
Good news about the SC Finals..I'll try not to play "spoiler" for ya.:asian:
