Guest Sloth Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think Detroit's goaltending will get exposed. Sharks-Devils with the Sharks winning in six. I'm glad somebody finally said that. Detroit has some serious goaltending issues. Conklin plays on top of his head at home, but he is terrible on the road. Osgood has simply been Osbad this year. Detroit may be a high scoring team, but they are also a team that gives up a lot of goals. That just doesn't cut in the playoffs. Detroit will not make it to the cup. San Jose can light the lamp just as often as Detroit does and the Sharks have stellar goaltending. In the west, it's going to be San Jose or Calgary. From the East, it'll be New Jersey. Philly's goaltending is far too streaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do You Believe Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm going to say Philly versus San Jose. The west is tough to predict.. Philly has one helluva team this year. Danny is now coming on for them too. Boston has front runner-itis to overcome.. They'll be sweating all they way through the playoffs. Philly has 6 20-goal scorers, 3 quality lines and Biron is getting hot. Is it wrong to like the Philly team? They sure remind me of the Sabres a couple of years back plus they have the D. i am going with the blackhawks just bc i put money on them in the start of the season to win the cup...come on campbell, kane, shape lets go...only if buffalo doesnt make it.

jimiVbaby Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm with you on the Flyers. It's really amazing what they've done in 2 years, only if they had the goaltending situation figured out. Marty has a tendency to get very hot, and that's what will need to happen for the Flyers to make it to the finals. Otherwise the makeup of their forwards and defense is almost second to none. As for the West it really could be a crapshoot. Detroit has all the talent in the world, but Osgood has been Nogood for most of the year. I have to take a look at a hard hitting team, with solid leadership, scoring and a playoff proven goaltender. That team? The Calgary Flames. I just can't put any faith in the Sharks when they're headed up by Joe Thornton, it just seems like he grips the stick way too tight during the playoffs. If the Sabres don't make it this year, I'll adopt the Chicago Blackhawks though. As little as I've seen of them, I still think they're one of the more entertaining teams in the league. Just please let the Devils lose out in the first round so I don't have to watch those snoozers. I suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottlecap Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I think Detroit's goaltending will get exposed. Sharks-Devils with the Sharks winning in six. d'Oh! The one thing I wanted to say about the Sharks is that their problems seem to be related to the Sabres. They seem to be a more successful regular-season version of the Sabres. But when playoff time comes and when push comes to shove and their character gets challenged, they die. Too many softies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wings Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I suck. You're not the only one...I didn't post it here, but I had picked the Devils & Sharks in the finals. Would've been nice if San Jose at least showed up. I guess Rivet isn't thinking "What if...?" anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cilevel Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I suck. You weren't alone. So much for how well I liked Calgary! Or how much I liked NJ in the east! Wow, what a wierd finish to that one tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
