Hockey is the best sport EVER.

I can't believe that the Wild came back from a 3 game deficit TWICE in the same playoffs.

I think Rianna isn't going to be too happy about this.

Yeah it sucks for Vancouver though. They are my team but damn if they don't have a reputation for fucking up huge leads. Oh well, niether Vancouver nor Minnesota have a snowball's chance if hell of beating the Disney Dollarsigns or whatever the fuck they're called.

Plus they are going to be beat to shit after two seven game series in a row. That much hockey will suck the life out of just about anyone.

I was rooting for the Canucks as well however upsets like this are teh win and make for cool series.

It wasn't really an upset if you are a Canucks fan. I love them to death but basically everyone in Vancouver was just waiting for them to choke and fail.

Although I guess they didn't technically choke. Vancouver played their fucking asses off and I have rarely seen them play as hard as I did tonight, yet they still lost.

I think that the Disney Dollarsigns would be a great name for Florida's third hockey team

MOTHER FUCKING CANUCKS!!

hehe, classic canuck's hockey though, get a lead then blow it. Oh well, was still entertaining to watch. Hmm... now I have to pick another team to root for in the play offs... any suggestions? If you say Ottawa I'll kick you in the balls.

Hockey suxors to the enth degree

that was a really intense game.

i cant believe the WIld came back to tie that. When the Canucks scored the second goal, the roof about went off that place. It was cool to watch.

then that lucky goal for the Wild...oh well.

God it feels great to be livin in Minnesota right now.

They are gunna be very tired, as if they already aren't. Game one is on Saturday at 2!

Toshira · Post by **Toshira** » May 9, 2003, 3:14 pm

I don't know, I think when the Canucks scored with 1.2 seconds left in the game early in the series, then won it in overtime, I was pretty sure that would kill the Wild's morale outright. Canucks are a tough team...fin Bertuzzi, god he was a pain in the crease.

Even with the hot goaltender, I just don't think Anahiem will stop Minnesota.

I said that about Detroit.. and Dallas. I'm hesitant to say it again. I don't know who will win, since both are such a suprise to have made it this far. But I will enjoy watching!

Damiarch · Post by **Damiarch** » May 9, 2003, 5:17 pm

I would have loved to have seen Stars Vs. Wild.. Old MN Vs. New MN

But we'll take the Ducks too I guess, heh

If they can beat Roy, they can beat the Ducks.

Just cause you don't understand the rules doesn't mean it sucks.

True Xoq. It's not that I don't understand the rules...I just haven't been able to gain an appreciation for the sport at all. I have tried numerous times, but to no avail.

I think it would be a much more enjoyable sport to watch if they put the net back inside the wall and maybe widened it a smidge.

Just my two copper

I must agree with Midnyte here, i just can't seem to work up any degree of excitement over hockey, Denmark was in the world cup and i tried to watch it, but it was just too boring really.

ROFL someone from a soccer fan nation calling hockey boring... gotta love the irony

And Brittney may know Haiku, but he don't know sports!

You know, you'd make a good Red Sox fan.

It's tough to gain an appreciation of hockey by just watching it on TV (there are exceptions, of course, like, say, being a young New England boy watching Bobby Orr - then it works just fine

). You really need to see a couple of games in person to get a feel for the sport. It is probably the toughest game to televise, and it is easily the most exciting and entertaining game to watch in person.

Wulfran · Post by **Wulfran** » May 15, 2003, 11:45 am

Whoa... another shutout by Giguere... will Minnesota score a goal in this series???

I still can't believe the Ducks are going to the Stanley Cup Finals...

Post by **Xouqoa** » May 15, 2003, 12:22 pm

Me neither... but Giguiere has been a total badass.

I agree with Post Topic, but add this little to it. There is absolutely no Game that you can watch up close (sport wise) that is more intense, more riveting, more seat clearing than Hockey. My favorite game that I was able to watch was the Phoenix Coyotes vs. Detroit Red Wings, 2nd game of first round back in 1999(I think that's the year hehe). We had 9th row seats. Phoenix goes down by 2 quick goals in the first period, but rallies back in the 2nd and third period to pull out a squeeker 3-2 Victory. What a blast! And as for my favorite Televised game, it would have to be the Phoenix Coyotes vs. Los Angeles Kings. We lost this game, but the Coyotes put on a show, especially my Favorite player of all time Dallas Drake (I still remember this hit, he ramed this guy into the glass and you see a Fan Jump and cheer right behind the glass, very classic). I will forever hate Luc Robitaille cuz of this game =)
