Having your own Defenseman step on your Goalie's stick...one goal
Having your own Defenseman force a penalty shot...one goal
Having your own Defenseman in your Goalie's line of sight...one goal
Watching THEIR Defenseman destroy his own Goalie's knee? Priceless
For everything else, there's Ward & Brind'Amour.

Rookie Goalie against Rookie Goalie - still a fair game. Don't start making excuses for your boys. Carolina is gonna take the series with or without Roloson. Sorry to break it to you.Originally posted by inthecrackNo Roloson? Now I'd say Canes in 6.

That was my call on MP bets prior to tonight and I'd stick to it.Originally posted by CDSmithI hope you don't have your rent money riding on it.
Why the so called experts are picking the Oilers, besides the refreshing week off they got, is beyond me. The Hurricanes were statistically the 4th best team in the league, while the Oilers barely made the playoffs.
However, I'll also be the first to admit that the Oilers DID dominate tonight. Hopefully that's a sign of fresh legs as opposed to actually being the better team...which I just don't think they are.
Note-I'd have called you out and thrown a personal bet of $250 at you (before the series started, not that you're down 1-0), because of your post, but I notice (literally as I'm posting) that Roloson is out for the series, so I'll refrain.Comment

Couple other notes-
-The two guys I was sitting with said Pronger wouldn't score on his penalty shot...because he was a defenseman (eesh). I predicted he would.
-Ales Hemsky has some serious fuckin' moves.
-Jason Smith was AS reponsible, if not MORE than Conklin over the giveaway, if for no other reason that Smith plays everyday and should be wary of a goalie than hasn't played in a month and a half.
-Dwayne (the helmet tosser) Roloson WILL be back before the series is over, despite what Craig MacTavish says... ''Goalie's not good, (he) won't be back in the series,'' Oilers Craig MacTavish said after the game. ''It's an unfortunate set of circumstances to have happen, obviously with Rollie playing as well as he has been.''

MacTavish is a better driver than he is an actor.Comment

if you have any clue on hockey, you will know that canes will win
edmonton the first three rounds for the msot part were completely outplayed, and they capitalized on turnovers to win key games. i think theyve been outshot at a ~1.4:1 ratio so far.
they cant pull this shit against carolina.. especially since roloson is fucked
if you put your money on edm, youre asking to be taken to the cleanersICQ: 298-523-037Comment

Maybe it's based on the fact that they're here, and they've been looking good all through the playoffs for the most part.Originally posted by ronaldoWhy the so called experts are picking the Oilers, besides the refreshing week off they got, is beyond me. The Hurricanes were statistically the 4th best team in the league, while the Oilers barely made the playoffs.
Some of you (like Myst for example) seem to have completely zoned out on the concept of the underdog winning. Can some of you seriously not recall when this situation in hockey has occured and the team least likely to succeed ends up taking it all?
And when a lead goalie is taken out I don't so easily give up hope. The backup goaltenders are NHL quality or they wouldn't be there. There's no reas whatsoever why one of them can't step up and surprise everyone with some solid net-minding.
Nope, I'm not betting on this series, my original post isn't so overconfindent and smug (like some others in this thread are), I still say it's any team's game. Edmo played an amazing first two periods last night, if they can continue to play like that and keep that momentum up they do have a shot at this.
That said, I will add that I am so looking forward to game 2. This series is off to one hell of a start, I hope it continues at this pace. :DPromote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!
