Oilers San Jose squee! Post

[shaina]

Come one, come all...here's the place to discuss the game...yes, sxeraven, this means you...*g*

The CBC used Rush's "Closer to the Heart" to open their broadcast...cool.

"Closer to the Heart"
Rush

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart


Update:  My Yahoo Messenger is on freaking CRACK, people...so If you can't get me, you'll know why.  AAAUGH.  Sorry acostilow...

so basically, you've got more confidence in San Jose's ability to score, and you're not sure Rolly's going to stay on his game?

Hubby says....Edmonton's grit will keep Anaheim from playing their game. Edmonton won't let them get their speed...

Believe it or not, Anaheim didn't strike me as an overly fast team. Not as fast as Ottawa (against Tampa they were eating up the ice)... and not as fast as Buffalo (they FLY).
They're very defense-oriented. The shots that often get on net aren't quality (not that it matters, enough garbage goals are scored and they count just as much as any other goal)... Not even so much that they block a lot of shots (like Buffalo), but they're always in position, and Niedermayer (Scotty) eats up ice time the way Pronger does for Edmonton. And he is fast. Even though he's old enough to be a Ranger now.

Roloson is playing INCREDIBLE hockey. If he stays on his game, Edmonton/Anahaim might be amazing.

I really am looking forward to Carolina/Buffalo. That strikes me as a very even series. Both teams are big, though I think Carolina gets a slight edge on size, becuase their forwards are far bigger (Staal / Cole (still hurt I think, right?) vs. Drury/Briere there's really no contest size-wise actually. Speed I give to Buffalo... and goalies I think they're about even too. Both teams have excellent goaltending.

Buffalo will freakin' *dance* around Carolina. For sure.

You're right it's going to be a hell of a series though.

Woot! Guaranteed hocky on Friday...

Guaranteed hockey Saturday, not Friday.

We only have hockey this Friday if the Sharks win.

Hubby's saying if Edmonton Wins, the first Edm/Ana game is going to be on Friday. He's insistent that that's the case. I suppose it's possible that the CBC lied to us...
