who you routing for?
Sens all the way baby!!
-
ya, i'm rooting for san jose right now (stupid antropov), i don't know who out of the east.
I'd like to see montreal make it to the conference final, but i think jersey's going to take it. Buffalo doesn't have what it takes IMO.
-
buffalos kicking ass right now! but i dont know if they can win the cup
why dont you like sens or detroit?

I'm a toronto fan. Ottawa can rott in hell. I really hate havlat. He's plays dirty.
Detroit i like, but i think edmonton will win the series. They're more diciplined and i like them for it .Even if they play the trap. (i hate the trap)
Colorado's not going to make it past the second round, but they will beat dallas.
Aneheim and calgary are a toss up for me. I don't know who's going to win there.
San Jose's just so good. Marleau got a hat trick just after i posted last night.
-
go Colorado!
-
^^^
that was an awsome game!!! Unreal.
Pisani, Hempsky, Roli,... magic.
-
If calgary wins, do they get edmonton in the second round?
-
2nd round East...
Ottawa vs Buffalo
New Jersey vs Carolina
-
west...
San Jose vs Edmonton
Aneheim vs Colorado
Calgary blew it. They played like dung. Couldn't make a pass even for charity. Aneheim was solid though.
-
[crazy thoughts]
Here's a conspiricy theory...
Do you think NBC and OLN paid calgary to choke? That way there wouldn't be a calgary edmonton series? That way San Jose and Aneheim wouldn't have to eliminate each other? That way there's a better chance that San Jose and Anehiem could meet in the conference final, and have one of those teams fighting for the cup?[/crazy thoughts.]
-
I doubt that a Canadian team would throw a game for any amount of money. I mean, they are Canadian. This is Canada's game. It doesn't really matter anyways. Calgary was my lock for the finals. I was expecting an Ottawa/Calgary Final. BUT i guess that can't happen now.
Whoever wins the Buffalo/Ottawa series will make it to the finals. I hate to say it, but San Jose is likely going to make it to the finals in the west, and if they play anyone other than Ottawa, they will win the cup.
Hopefully next year the Canadian Teams try to co-ordinate things so that they don't have to eliminate each other in the second round.. Try to get an all Canadian Conference final for both the east and the west... What a dream...

I am sure there will some car flipping / burning buildings should the oil make it to the cup. (the oilers ownership seems to think we are above that). I doubt it - Whyte Ave is pretty fucked up stupid sometimes.
Didn't even take as long as I thought. 50 arrests on Whyte Ave last night. 2 stabbings, some assaults, property damage etc, etc.
So much for being above it all
-
Yeah I wish when our Canadian cities were celebrating a win like that one (HUGE) we could party and drink but not turn to violence.
When we start stabbing/looting/vandalizing it ruins the whole thing.
Congrats to any Oilers fans anyway! I'm rooting for you the rest of the way now.
-
When toronto wins the cup... the toronto police will call in the army to stop the riots.
Toronto, more than any other city, will be chaotic.
I'm predicting a two day street celebration.
BTW -
Anaheim vs (san jose vs edmonton)
buffalo vs (carolina vs jersey)

2. Gotta love the fans singing the anthems themselves [POSSIBLE NEW TRADITION]
that was something else. I couldn't believe that!!
That building is so loud.
I love watching these games.

GO OILERS GO!




I think the only thing yet to happen on Whyte Ave is looting....[would not shock me]. What a disgrace to our city.
-
I was having a hard time trying to find some pics.
Those are great. Any of those you?
Now imagine if toronto won the cup.
-
Yeah seriously. Toronto would be wiped off the map. I can't help but think our little ruckus would be a drop in the bucket in comparision.
They were showing footage on the news from 84. Whyte ave wasn't what it was today. There were a mob of drunks with big ass mullets running up and down the main strip on downtown with cops chasing them down. COMEDY!
I was unfortunate enough to catch the beginning of it on SAT (we had to drive around it). Anyone who heads down to the avenue is just part of the problem in my opinion. Lots of good pics on that site though.
With that being said, I hope the cops get a better handle on things for the stanley cup. There is only so much they can do, but letting the crowd do as they please was only encouraging worse behaviour once everyone realized the cops were going to let it run free. It has been an amazing playoff run and I hope this doesn't spoil it. I am looking forward to one hell of a series!
Cheers everyone! GO OILERS GO!

too funny not to quote

The property damage has been the big thing so far. Violence has been fairly minimal considering the size of the crowd.
Some people getting beat up/random fighting breaking out, getting git with beer bottles [still not too bad considering].
*** There was this article about some old lady who lives nearby, finally got pissed off, went down to give people a pice of her mind, and then the fans spit on her. Not violent but kind of funny in a sad way***
I think the vilionce has been kept to a a minimum because the cops let the mob run it's course without giving the crowd something too feed on. Apparently the riot police wanted to step in to start "banging some heads around" to try and get some control and help the shopowners, and put an end to the property damage.
The cop in charge said no, as this would likely cause the crowd to go into a full blown riot. He has been replaced with another cop in the hopes this is handled better next time. Though I am at a loss as to what would be appropriate.
I seriously hope they tear gas them.

my favorites...

"i've got your shrubbery!!"

I think they'll (cops) be ready for the finals.
Scoobysnaxx - have you seen any public service anouncements? How often are they on tv?

he'll be back. I think McTavish just said that stuff for carolina's sake. I mean he is standing on his right leg.
