Ok. Regardless of Boston stinking everything up in the Northeast, that was fucking insane.  Down 3-0 in the series, down 3-0 in the 7th game, come back to win both 4-3? Holy Shit. They might have fucked my eastern conf bracket, but well worth it. Protip, yellow and black is soo last year.  |

PHI vs MON = PHI (This should be a harder choice, but I'm picking my home team) CHI vs SJ = (tough choice) CHI Also, I would like to straddle and pick PHI in the finals. This has been just an absolutely crazy year, and not just in hockey.  |

I'll go with...
San Jose - (though part of me wants to see Hossa lose another cup series)
and
Montreal - (this should be the series, these teams defy gravity as well)

Yay! 0 for 4. I'm awesome.
Chicago in 6. Fuck Heatley.
Montreal in 6. That's right, I've just doomed their miracle run.
Philly and Montreal were ranked 18th and 19th (if you rank them all 1-30). Those have to be the lowest ranked semi finalists ever.

CHI over SJ — Hossa to be on losing side of 3 consecutive Cup finals, with different squad each year…
MON over PHI — who really knows this crazy post-season, magic just might continue…

Not exactly in those terms, but this is the first time a 7 and 8 seed have met in the playoffs. |

CHI
PHI
That was some major chokage by the Bruins. I still fail to believe that San Jose can actually win anything, so they will probably fuck me harder than the 2007 New York Giants.

I refuse to believe Sunday's ECF game is indicative of how Montreal will play the rest of the way...I almost don't even want them to, because if the Flyers go to the finals, they need to stay tuned up.

They may be down 2-0 but I'm not convinced the Habs are done yet. Seems they have to do everything the hard way. The Sharks on the other hand...

Well it seems my knack at picking the loser in a series has come back. Figures, after a great start to burn in flames at the end. That said, I pick Chicago to win the cup and Hossa to suffer a coronary upon touching the cup with his bare skin. Lord Stanley is not to be fucked with |

My straddle pick of PHI to win it all will net me double points or something, right?  Will be a crazy series to watch; Chicago has the best offense that the Flyers will have gone up against in the playoffs, to be countered by the best defense the Hawks will have gone against. Defense wins championships, right? |

Something of an aside: Russia, with all their big guns playing who are out of the NHL playoffs ( ), lost to a Czech team they probably should have crushed in a Gold medal game at the World Championships. These Russian stars just continue to fail in the clutch. Nabakov did not seem to come up big in the WCF sweep-loss to the Hawks. |

Fuck you Dany. 2 whopping goals all playoffs, including a meaningless one in a blowout. And you sat in the box for the series clincher. Nicely done. Anyways... Chicago in 6.

It's all academic now, Strazos with 18 points holds the lead and if Philly captures Cup, he wins. If Hossa manages to nab it on his 3rd consecutive try (Pens, Wings and now Hawks), then HaemishM (15 points) will prevail.
My pick is for the Flyers to win it in 7 and send Hossa home a loser for the 3rd straight year.
Standings after conference finals:
18 Strazos
15 HaemishM
13 Paelos
10 Naum, 01101010, Murdoc
9 El Gallo
7 SpecialJ
7 Bunk
6 trotski
2 WayAbvPar

I hate fuckers like you. You remind me of the bitch at work who doesn't watch anything but Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives but somehow picks every god damn office pool sports winner and then is shocked she won. Prolly running a bookie on the side and faking it Sly son of a bitch. |
