Great game between the Avalanche and the Sharks last night. It came down to the wire but the Avalanche got a second score late in the game to win it. I don't follow hockey to closely anymore so forgive me for not knowing names but the goalie for the Avalanche made a few strange plays that really could have hurt Colorado, luckily it didn't and they won. Also, when did Danny Heatly join the Sharks? I realized he was playing for them last night and had no idea he had switched teams.
Heatley was traded for Cheechoo during the offseason, after Heatley wanted a trade. (I am so going to laugh if Heatley's Sharks don't make it as far as the Sens he wanted out of).
As for the the goalie, it is Craig Anderson. He is a rookie, so every mistake he makes, I can hardly fault him. But I think he has done a fantastic job all season. I watch that team, and they are so unlike Avs teams from the past. there is no Roy, Sakic, Forsberg, Tanguay, Drury, Blake, Bourque, Morris, Deadmarsh, Lemiuex, etc. all those guys who made the Avs such a great team. Instead they have these youngins who are all looking great, and I hope score at will against the choke artists.
But yes, the goal with just a few seconds left was so exciting. I got excited, and I hate the Avs. I just want the Sharks gone.
Having listened to several prognosticators on the radio and on the television, having read several newspapers and magazines, and having read the posts in these forums regarding the NHL playoffs, I have a question for you guys.
Does anyone give my Boston Bruins any chance at all against the Buffalo Sabres? I can understand why many people are considering the Sabres the favorites going into this series, but I don't think I've heard or read one opinion which has given Bruins fans any hope whatsoever.
I can't be all alone, can I? Sure it would be an upset, but stranger things have happened.
Come on, Bruins fans, where are you?
I give the Bruins little chance. They limped into the playoffs, and now they get to play one of the best put together teams I have seen in a while. Little star power on the Sabres, but big hearts that make them such a complete team. And how can anyone doubt against Miller's gutsy big game play from the Olympics. If he brings it into the post season, its game over Bruins.
Hopefully my Penguins can overcome that game 1 loss to the Senators and take this series. If they can do that, I think it is 50/50 that they can beat Washington this year. I hope they can repeat though.
I really don't give the Pens much of a chance of beating the Caps this year. However, I do give them a good chance of beating the Sens. Sens are battlnig injuries ands should not have been able to get 5 goals against Felury. HE will have to play a lot sharper than that.
