you mean Ovechkin the team? They suck, only reaosn they're in the playoffs is cause they play in a sucky division.

Philly has more 20 goal scorers then any team in the league, the most balanced team I've ever seen. They will beat the Caps, sig that if you want to hold me to it.

you must not follow hockey very well if you think OV is the team. you would know that it has been whole team effort, with Huet playing excellent hockey, the whole offense played well, the team had a 3-1 victory on saturday and OV didn't get a point. although i agree that OV is a huge part of the reason why they made it, has played beastly all year.

Huet's the goalie right? Big whoop, alot of teams have half decent goalies, you must not follow hockey if you udnerestimate the Flyers.

lol yeah Huet is the goalie...how about this, you said the flyers will dominate the series, if they don't go 4-0, you have to put a washinton capitals picture in your sig(even if it means they win the series, 4-1). if they sweep the series i will take my joe sakic sig off, and put a flyers one on. lets say loser uses the sig till the playoffs are done.

deal?

I'm tracking you now so we can both remind each other. I still think it's a raw deal though you should've at leats givne me 4-1 or 4-2, but the full sweep? tsk tsk..some high roller you are..

haha only kiddinh.

k lets make this fair, by domination philly at the most can lose 2 games, so ill allow the 4-2 series, but anything more goes to me. lol ive found myself a decent flyers sig already, either a mike richards one, or one with 3 other flyers guys, unless you want to choose one for me(that is if i lose).

Yes, Ovechkin is THE franchise player of the Washington Capitals and the face of the NHL; I'll admit that. But the Capitals went 11-1-0 in their last twelve and have impressive talent in Backstrom and Mike Green.

They're not going to kill Philly, but the series will be tight.

where do you find sigs? Or maybe I'll just put up a little caps logo if I lose.

that one looks good, may need resizing though, so how long does the loser have to keep the sig? like a month? or until the playoffs end?

Bauers-Twin

Heres the basic Rules:

1. You win the bet if the flyers go 4-2 or better in the series, i win if there anything worse.

2. Loser uses sig till playoffs are done.

but yah your works fine, you might want to make it smaller, but thats your choice.

Flyers choked the first game, luckily they didnt repeat that today.

Damn! i was expecting my Habs to sweep the Bruins.

Oh well, a 4-1 series will do.

yah caps couldn't get anything together on sunday. i have to give alot of credit to there D, and forechecking, washington had to have atleast 20 plus passes blocked. they prevented the caps from having any consistency. idk caps got to steal one, away. yah like you mentioned before, we're 1-1.

3-0 pens.....hell yeathezuki

And everyone applauded the Senators signing extensions to their big three last season and now they are most likely out of the first round.

3-0 pens.....hell yeathezuki

How about the Minn-Col series, every game has gone 3-2 and been decided in OT. I'm hoping Colorado can pull a series win out.

Also lets go Habs, big game tonight!

That is a great series, but I'm pulling for Minnesota. Montreal should pull it off tonight but the Bruins could really surprise people tonight with the momentum of an OT win. Unless they're just happy to cut that losing streak to the Habs, we'll see.

Both goalies have played extremely well, Backstrom was a beast yesterday. the avs need a win tonight, or i feel the series might be done in 5 games. foppa needs to step it up though.

Yeah Backstrom has been playing well. I can't complain about him. I just think José Théodore has had a lot more pressure on him thru the series. Granted you can say it for any hockey teams but I think Théodore is why the Avs are still in it with all the chances the Wild have had taken away by him.

yah theo is the reason why we made the playoffs, played great the last 2 months, wouldn't mind seeing the avs sign him to a 2 year deal for alot less money though.

yah but its been a great match up so far, these 2 teams have been near even. avs D has to quit pinching in so much, or they need better communication with the forwards, cause these odd man rushes are hurting us right now.

Surprised and have to say nice job by the league with that new rule with face blocking the goalie after the Ranger/Devil game. Never seen a rule be put into place after something happens during the playoffs. Nice to see didnt have to wait till after the season, just get in there and implement it.

Did look goofy what Avery was doing with his stick trying to block Brodeurs view. The real surprise is none of the other Devils just didnt bump or knock Avery out of the way or something.
