So yea…i would have started a playoff thread…but seeing how not that many good teams made it…there’s no point lol!
But I would really like to see the cup come back to canada where it truly belongs…therefore…and I can’t believe i’m about to say this…but…I really hope the Canucks can pull it off…right after the Flames crush them on Saturday…
And of course i’m def. cheering for the Habs from the East!!!
As long as the sharks, redwings or lightning don’t win…I think I will be a happy camper!
ok that’s all I have to say…
oh and if there are any other NHL fans out there…(which I highly doubt…) but still feel free to share your thoughts for this years cup run!
X2 man....we had this discussion last season as well...lol
Just face it....HOCKEY is CANADA'S Sport....and will always be for the following reasons:
1: Canadians have the genetics to become amazing hockey players....half the players in the states are Canadian...
2: We are a hockey nation....its just something we are born to be good at....who won the gold in the Olympics.....(need I say more)
3: The Canucks will bring it home this season...and that wil show you all up..cause the odds for a Canadian team to win the cup is smaller as there are soooo many american teams...don't forget its quality over quantity! :P
I could go on....but now i must go and watch some curling...which is a sport FYI haha
Awe...and the Canucks couldn't pull off the sweep....well whatev's there still gonna wipe the floor with the hawks which were coincidently last years champs....my my my how things change!
And basically all Vancouver had to do was get rid of luongo's captaincy...cause he ain't got no leadership abilities...(just saying) and nominate a player that actually has some skill....
p.s. It should be illegal to play with your brother on the same team....so unfair especially when they can read each other's minds...
1: Canadians have the genetics to become amazing hockey players....half the players in the states are Canadian...
yup, so they may have great innate abilities, but they are playing for US based NHL teams, player nationality does not matter in professional sports.
2: We are a hockey nation....its just something we are born to be good at....who won the gold in the Olympics.....(need I say more)
you have a point, canada did win in 2010 and 2002, and before that 1952 and before...so if we are going to take that record as some sort of standard then US teams have won stanley cup without a break since 1993...need I say more :)
3: The Canucks will bring it home this season...and that wil show you all up..cause the odds for a Canadian team to win the cup is smaller as there are soooo many american teams...don't forget its quality over quantity! :P
funny, i thought quality would win out in the end..because how many teams does not matter, how strong the teams are matters.
Awe...and the Canucks couldn't pull off the sweep....well whatev's there still gonna wipe the floor with the hawks which were coincidently last years champs....my my my how things change!
tied at 3 games a pop is not much of a wiping the floor.
hawks are the current champs, yes..even if they are beaten nothing takes that away.
things change, maybe one of these days a canadian team may even win a stanely cup..been almost 2 decades ya know ;)
lol X2 man....Canada doesn't have as many states as you guys...we have 10 provinces...you guys have like 50 states...so its inevitable that you guys will have more teams...and therefore will need more players...Canada only has 6 teams....so obviously all the amazing players can't stay here :(
And so because of that you guys have kept winning the cup for over million years lol...but I do agree that it is about quality of players...but throughout a season injuries take place and ppl get traded....and a little bit has to do with just sheer luck!! (and that's the story im sticking too :P)
But seriously I believe our curse it gonna be broken this season.....The canucks are onto something....game 7 was AMAZING....you can't find this level of intensity in any other sport!! lol
Jafri your right......Kudos to Crawford...he was brilliant!!
I hate the lightning with a passion!!!!!! So I really reallllly reallllllly want Boston to win!!!! But that could be highly unlikely!!! (fingers crossed..) They already lost the first game by 3 goals....but whatever....as the musical awesomeness of Journey says...."Don't Stop BELIEIVING!!"
My hearts predication: Vancouver vs. Boston Final
In reality: Vancouver (if the sedins bring it up a notch) vs. Tampa...
Why Winnipeg? Altough their fans look like real die hard hockey fans but Winnipeg sounds so boring and its in Manitoba. I rather have a Halifax or Mississauga (which would be sick since Sauga is the next big city) team.
Anyways Vancouver leading the series 2-0. 2 down 2 more games to go!
GO Canucks GO!!. Here..RePresenT!. All my friends were going crazy in downtown Vancouver..there was massive crowd near Robson St!
Where are maple-loosers and LAMES fans!!.
Calm down, Bruins can still come back since the next 2 games are at their home. No need to bring leafs in this. We are currently at a rebuilding stage.
