Series Discussion: PLOFFS ROUND UNO: [3]FLAMES vs. [2]CANUCKS OFFICIAL DISCUSSION

You guys are mean.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Does anyone remember my bracket performance last year? Legendary!

I remember doing pretty well until the third round, I can't remember where I finished in it.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Does anyone here do the NHL Playoff Bracket Challenge? I try to do it every year, and this year I noticed that you can join leagues and do it with friends. Would anyone be interested in doing one for the group of us on HF Flames? I've gone ahead and made a league already, it's private but if anyone wants to be a part of it, let me know and I'll send you an invite.

Yeah I'm.in

You guys are mean.

Seriously though, dude: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1648873

Don't really know how you missed it.

 

[DCDM]

Whatever

 

[Damisoph]

I can't help but cheer for the Flames. Started back in '89 I guess when y'all beat those habs.

 

[St Wardo]

ayy how do I get in on this bracket challenge?

Am I over hopeful when I say that I think Sam Bennett will hugely impress tonight, so much so he earns himself a spot on the starting roster for the ploffs? Every year it seems like one player comes out of no where, and is the deciding factor in many games for his respective team. I'm thinking this years player could be Sam Bennett? His determination and drive to win could be that last peice of the puzzle we need to grind our way through the playoffs!

This is so much entertaining than the recent Coyotes vs. Flames GDT!

 

[Body Checker]

The reason Raymond is in the lineup is he's one of those naturally offensive skilled guys with speed and the big shot that can make a big offensive play at any moment just like the play he made on hudler's goal against la that was the game winner.

Obviously he isn't consistent in that manner like a Hudler but he is still an asset. You can't have four or five Raymond's in the lineup but he supplements grinders like Bouma, colborne, Stajan quite well.

So no to dressing Bennett over him at this time. Maybe later in the series if needed.

Please don't read our media, the more hits they get the more they think they're a legitimate news source.

"Nerd hockey" lmao

How I see game one, if today's Jets game was any sort of audition.

JG /Monahan / Hudler
Ferland / Bennett / Jooris
Bouma / Backlund / Jones
Bollig / Stajan / Colborne

DMan pairings are up in the air. Diaz might be healthy enough to return.

If not Bennett, I would even say Shore/Byron.

But Raymond has to sit for game one.

Bennett can also make drop passes and skill plays, so that's not a reason to sit him in my opinion.

Raymond is playing awful. He is skating scared. You can see it in his posture and his strides. He's aftaid, and has zero swagger.
Pucks fumbling off his stick, can't stick handle right now, can't finish a check, turtles on the boards and loses possession.

But, he is playing awful, he isn't an awful player.

Sitting a game might work again.

Completely agree. Last time he was sat out a game, he came back really strong.

Guys, apparently Vrbata and Lack are better than Giordano.

on;y because Gio is hurt

I wanted to play Vancouver and Nashville this year. Hopefully we don't run into the Ducks (although Hiller might stand on his head against his old team).

Oh well. Let fan bases overvalue their own players.

Well, at least it's nice to have the neutral posters siding with us and calling them on it.
