What's on the menu tonight Hitman?

[Shibby]

Anything special to kick it all off?

Go NJ

[hitmansb]

I'm watching all of it to some extent...LOL

Priority one is Montreal games....GO HABS GO!

After that, I'm watching the Pens beat up on the Sens during early games, and then watching Wild/Avs later on. Wild/Avs is GREAT hockey...fast pace and both teams are hitting hard and often. Been watching Flames/Sharks too...doing a lot of channel surfing. Unfortunately, I missed out on Flyers/Caps tonight...I guess it was a wild game.

[Shibby]

I have been watching the Pens. I might get back into hockey next season since I will be in the Pittsburgh area for at least 3 more years and possibly for good. I like hockey I was just waiting to get back into it so I could be a hometown fan of something.

I wasn't ignoring you, I just don't know what to say to "Go NJ". I didn't really have an interest when I first started this thread but I enjoyed watching Pit. So GO PENS! :D

Ovechkin is a scoring animal but I think I would take Crosby over him.

I wouldn't. Crosby is a damn good player, but Ovechkin is in another league. Faster skater, better shot, and PHYSICAL....I can't remember the last time I saw a 60 goal-scorer throwing big open-ice hits. I'd take Ovechkin over any other player in the league at this point.

[Shibby]

I am by no means more versed in hockey than you, just from what I have seen I think Crosby is better for a team in leading, being able to assist and score. But also my info is a lot more pro-Crosby since I live in the Pitt area.

I agree hes much more physical.

I dont htink you can compare them Crosby is a setup guy like a forsberg vs ovechkin who is a pure goal score like a Federov or Salani. depends on what you need on your team. you gotta have guys that can score to win the game. id take Ovnchkin

Sorry NJ isn't doing to well NYC. Hitman your Habs seem to be taking care of business. Now tell me what Habs means.

[NYCmitch25]

Habs = Montreal Canadians which is going into overtime like the Devils game.

[Shibby]

Where does the "Habs" come from?

[hitmansb]

Habs...short for 'Habitant', the french settlers who first came to Canada.

[hitmansb]

So far, I've seen some of the worst officiating in recent memory during these playoffs. It's been incredibly bad.

[hitmansb]

Canadiens on to the second round....GO HABS GO!!!

Two big game 7's tonight, Philly vs. Washington and Calgary vs. San Jose

Should be wild action in those games.
