Put a few UFC type fighters in heavy padding add a little "end to end" play like in basketball add a little finese play (Micheal Jordan, basketball) and you have the basics of Hockey!

GO DETROIT GO

Whats chippiest in hockey? Fighting I would think. And do the refs still let them fight for a while before breaking them up.

Hockey is like the one sport below the level of NASCAR for rednecks to watch.

Maybe on par with professional wrestling?

Maybe salary wise...sure not the big bucks that the NFL/NBA/MLB players get.

Chippiest is not about fighting.. fighting is the solution. Chippy is the slashing, stick hitting, love taps that usually go unnoticed. The fights are usually when the enforcer is needed to send a message it won't be tolerated.

A lot of the things mentioned in the article aren't really chippy as much as they are cheap shots.

Have you ever watched hockey? It's one the most fast-paced high-energy sports around. It requires huge amounts of dexterity, speed, fitness and coordination.

Well, better Ice hockey than American Rugby.

And what were your thoughts watching the games last night?

Canucks in 7!

And what were your thoughts watching the games last night?

Canucks in 7!

I wasn't able to watch the games but I will admit that 3-1 leads are never comfortable.

But to answer the question:

"Typical Flyers"

"Damn... I still hate the Casucks"

But I'm going for Ottawa over NYR so I'm not anti-Canadian!



Flyers in SIX.
Canucks in SEVEN (unless Quick has a monster).

Is my prediction.

J.

 

[johname]

oh my, this is going to set forth ridicule, shame and possibly ignores from np hockey elite. But I just figured out my "team" in the playoffs. Go Sharks!

 

[briguy]

lol..another fan of the underdog!

Go Sharks!

Another underdog! Not a bad choice...The Sharks have been a good to great team all year! Series been close!

Today's NEW thoughts....

Flyers?!? WTF are you doing?

You wouldn't have too much luck staying alive up here...

Sens are my team. Finally got to go to my first game this year. I was pretty stoked and a 2-2 series in which both teams are playing exceptionally well makes for some great games.

Raffi Torres of Phoenix was suspended 25 games by the NHL on Saturday for a late hit that resulted in Chicago's Marian Hossa being taken off the ice on a stretcher.

Yeah my team (Detroit)been eliminated...Nashville goalie played great!

 

[eurorealtor]

Finally, Flyers made it

Some New Thoughts.

What Eurorealtor said!

Come on Caps - you can beat the annoying Bruins... and fingers crossed for Kings over Casucks (who are aggravating to watch).

Come on Blackhawks!


Sidney Crosby can take even MORE time off now. Time he needs to get his head together. On the bright side he won't have that embarrassing play-off fluff on his face.

Just a thought, defaultuser..maybe start a "second round NHL thread", once the first round done???

Really no "ringers" in playoff hockey...Canucks and Rangers are having a hard time against "weaker teams".

Understatement with the Canucks! It's not so much HAVING a hard time but HAD a hard time....


Na na na na.. Na na na na na... Hey Hey Goodbye.

No second round thread.... but soon I will resurrect the Le Douche thread!

I think Philly could go all the way to the 2nd round of the playoffs this year.

I also hope that Prongs continues to make a recovery.
