2011 Road to the Stanley Cup

Postby BigTruck » Mon Apr 18, 2011 4:07 am

I'm late I know, I've been on the road!  But here it is!  Stanley Cup Playoffs (AKA NHL Season 2 for 2011)

Been some terrific playoff hockey so far, terrific fights, huge hits, awesome plays, it doesn't get better then this!  Here's the stats so far.  Who's your team, who do you favor for Lord Stanley's Cup?

Vancouver (Nucks) sweeping the Hawks so far 3-0

Red Wings are putting a hurt on the Coyotes 2-0

Capitols are leading the Rangers 2-1.   Yawn.

Flyers are tied with Sabres 1-1 (Mr Yates I'm rooting for you man!!)

Canadiens are trying to sweep Boston with a 2-0 start

Penguins are tied 1-1 with Tampa (I'm rooting for Tampa in the East, Steve Yserman is coaching them and he is one of the best hockey players to wear a Wings jersey)

Sharks are tied 1-1 with the Kings (go Kings, I hate the Sharks more than I hate the Avs)

Nashville leads 2-1 over the Ducks.  Go Ducks because Nashville has a tendancy to whoop the Wings and I would hate to face off with them in the playoffs.

Philly wins one for Corey Yates!  Boston finally won one against the Habs, Pittsburgh struggled but won against Tampa, and the Wings game is about to start. 

Let's go Detroit!

All of a sudden the Blackhawks are on top heading back to Chicago for a potentially series tieing game on Sunday night. 12 goals in 2 games whilst only conceeding 2, a Crawford shutout last night.

Suddenly its back in our own hands, can we pull off the miracle? God i hope so!

Hmmm.  Looks like the Panthers aren't doing very well.

The Florida Panthers, the guys in last place.

Yeah, it's going to be a long long long road for them to the Stanley Cup  :'(

Stay strong though man, maybe someday the florida grid iron will freeze and a hockey game will break out and then suddenly we will be in the Stanley Cup Finals with a bunch football players!!  :o :o

I know the WillitRun family is pleased to see the Flyers fight their way out and advance to the second round.

Quarter Finals are done, bring on the Semi Finals!!!


Wings VS Sharks (again)  Living near San Jose and being a Red Wings fan, this always causes much drama in my work place/neighborhood

Philly and Boston decided they wanted to play each other and beat their respective teams.

Tampa Bay beat the Penguins and will now face the Caps.

Canucks will be facing the Predators.
