I totally admit I am fair-weather when it comes to hockey... but not when it comes to the Undisputed World Champions of American Football. My loyalty to the Bucs predates the 1999 Screwjob by several years. You know that, Imran, so just keep bashing me about hockey because that's more than enough. (Poor dude's just upset because the Rams got what they had coming last year after choking in the SB the year before and that his adopted Falcons got crushed like bugs by my boys twice year.)

Now I'll shut up and let this go back to being a hockey thread. Scoreless halfway through the first...

I don't watch as much as I used to, nor do I participate in fantasy hockey as I did before. I still play a lot, but as for the NHL, it's a joke. And there isn't much in Chicago to be excited about. I'll celebrate the day the Wirtz family dies, sells the team, or both.

I don't care about that kind of stuff honey, especially not half a year after it all happened... but obviously you do (and still talk about things in the past for years after... perhaps you should get some 'help' on that?) .

Now let the big boys talk about our hockey, k?

This game has been fantastic so far! Both of Chistov's chances were heart-stopping. Great penalty kill by the Ducks.

Cherry was good during the intermission. I enjoyed McLean's grumbling about Oates liking Creed. Good times.

Don't laugh now, the Ducks are up 3-0 at the end of the first period.

If they win it means they've won the last three of four. And the Devils were pretty lucky in Game 5 on two goals.

It shows that home ice is at a premium this playoffs. Game 7 is (fortunetly) at New Jersey... see the regular season deoes count for something!

Yep, but the fourth goal was the killer as it put them in front in their home arena. It's also been a long time since I've seen a goal go off two opposition sticks from behind the net.

I don't know. I reckon game 7 is a coin toss.

Still, apart from the first 2 games there has been superb hockey.

Leave it to a Redwings fan to say something stupid



GIGURE DOES NOT DESERVE THE MVP AWARD


1. Brodeur set the record for playoff shutouts with 7
2. He shut the Ducks out 3 times
3. He shut out Game 7

Brodeur is the best goalie of the playoffs and should have gotten the Conn Smythe. This is absolute bullsh1t. I've heard the question before, "Who would you want starting in Game 7 of the Finals?" Probably the goalie that would SHUT OUT THE OTHER TEAM. Oh yeah, but let's give the MVP Playoff award to the goalie WHO LOST IN THE FINALS AND CRIED! What a crock!!

Sure Gigure is a good goalie. The SECOND BEST goalie.

Sava, would the Ducks have made the finals if it weren't for Giguere?

****, they probably wouldn't have won a single game if it weren't for Giguere. Brodeur had a helluva lot more help.

Giguere was the Most Valuble Player of the playoffs, no question.

Without Brodeur, New Jersey doesn't shut out 3 Finals games. Sorry... Gigure is Anaheim's MVP, but a loser doesn't deserve the Playoff MVP.

Why? Imagine if Detroit wins the Stanley Cup over, say, the Devils. And the Conn Smythe is announced and Brodeur wins it. You telling me that Red Wing fans ain't gonna boo? Come on!

I agree with Sava, though!

That's right!


the Conn Smyth award is supposed to go to the MVP of the playoffs... i.e... the BEST player in the playoffs.. i.e. the player that contributed MOST to his team's success. Brodeur's 7 shut outs, 3 in the Finals, and a shutout in Game 7 takes precedence over Gigure's little flash in the pan.

Yup, the Devils proved they were the best. The whole team came back with a solid game.

I couldn't believe it either when people started to Boo Giguere. The Jersey fans showed they have no class, unlike the players who applauded Giguere.

Gigure is a bum and should have been booed... he's holding Brodeur's trophy. NJ fans have a right to be pissed. They watched their goalie shut Anaheim out 3 times in the Finals, including Game 7, only for the MVP trophy to go to the losing goalie.

How many times was Brodeur pulled during the playoffs? How many games did he make the difference? If Brodeur had not played, could the Devils have won?

The Devils shut-outs were a team effort.

Now compare that to Giguere. Without him, the Ducks would never have made it to the finals. He carried the team.
