2007 NHL Playoffs Recap and Video Highlights - May 12th
2007-05-12 15:20:00
1-1 last night and 1-2 for the first two games of round 3. Detroit managed to win game 1 with some inspired play by the Dominator and another dominating performance from Niklas Lidstrom. Tonight Buffalo is already desperate to win a game.Tonights Game :Ottawa Senators (1) at Buffalo Sabres (0) : Believe it or not it is already do or die time for the Sabres. If they go down 2-0 in the series at home their odds of getting to the final round are slim indeed. Tonight the Sabres need their leaders to step up. Keep an eye on Chris Drury tonight, he will lead the Sabres by example and Buffalo will post a convincing win in game 2.Last Nights Game :Anaheim Ducks 1 (0) at Detroit Red Wings 2 (1) : Detroit got great performances from key players last night. Dominik Hasek and Niklas Lidstrom stepped up and ensured that the Wings would win despite the fact that they only managed 19 shots on Anaheim. The Ducks tried to physically dominate the Wings last night but it didn't seem to work. Both of...

2007 NHL Playoffs Recap and Video Highlights - May 11th
2007-05-11 13:57:00
o'fer last night. Buffalo surprised me last night by not showing up for game 1 of their third round series with Ottawa. Ottawa did exactly what I expected and they got the win because of it. Tonight Detroit hosts Anaheim in the opener of the other semi-final series.Tonights Game :Anaheim Ducks (2) at Detroit Red Wings (1) :The Red Wings are going to miss Mathieu Schneider on defense in this series. Anaheim has demonstrated some flashes of brilliance in the playoffs and is making a strong case why they should be the team to watch in the west. The Wings have home ice advantage and I have to go with them tonight for game 1. While Hasek remains healthy the Wings have a chance to upset my predictions for round 3 and they should start that off with a solid win tonight at home.Last Nights Game : Ottawa Senators 5 (1) at Buffalo Sabres 2 (0) : The Senators came out poised and ready and the Sabres were disorganized and lacking in focus last night. It cost them the game. Despite the lacklust...

2007 NHL Playoffs Recap and Predictions - May 10th
2007-05-10 14:02:00
Ottawa wants revenge, but so does Buffalo. This could very likely be the best series of the 2007 NHL Playoffs . Both the Senators and the Sabres play a wide open counterattack style of hockey which could produce a high scoring (or at least high chancing) series. I'm looking forward to this one. Even if Ottawa has a good chance to screw up my predictions.Ottawa Senators (4) at Buffalo Sabres (1) :The series opens tonight in Buffalo and the Sabres need to find a way to shut down Ottawa's top line of Dany Heatley, Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza. If they can manage to limit Ottawa's top line in the scoring department over half of Ottawa's offence goes bye bye. Ottawa needs to forget the past and focus on this series. If the Heatley, Alfredsson and Spezza line can overcome the checking of Drury et al. the Sens have a good chance of knocking out Buffalo. Regardless, the Sabres win game 1 at home as the crowd reacts to Ray Emery's recent comments about the Buffalo nightlife. Given ...

NHL Playoffs - Round 3 Previews and Predictions
2007-05-08 16:12:00
So Round 2 of the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs didn't go quite as I had envisioned it. I wrote a recap of each second round series below and a preview and predictions of the two third round series is below that. Oh, and the Buffalo Sabres win the Cup over the Anaheim Ducks in 7 games.Eastern Conference Recaps :Buffalo Sabres (1) vs New York Rangers (6): Despite a strong performance by the Rangers and a strangely lackluster performance by Buffalo this series ended up as expected. Buffalo wins in 6 games and Henrik Lundqvist gave the Rangers a chance to compete. Daniel Briere 1 goal, 5 assists. Chris Drury 3 goals, 2 assists, Tomas Vanek 3 goals. Vanek seemed to disappear a bit in the last 4 games of this series but Briere and Drury picked up the slack. Brian Campbell potted 1 goal and 2 assists and was a little disappointing offensively in round 2. I got this prediction dead right, Sabres in 6.New Jersey Devils (2) vs Ottawa Senators (4) :The Ottawa Senators didn't really surprise me ...

0-1 last night, another ofer. The good news is that I knew that Detroit would win this series. What? What do you mean I predicted that San Jose (or Nashville) would go to the Finals this season? Are you sure? Dammit, you people aren't supposed to remember the things I say. Ah well, Anaheim will beat Detroit and face Buffalo in the Stanley Cup Playoffs .Last Nights Game : Detroit Red Wings 2 (4) at San Jose Sharks 0 (2) : I really expected more from the Sharks in this postseason. I was certain that they would make it past Detroit into the third round, right up until game 4 of round two. Detroit got a strong performance from Dominik Hasek last night and Chris Chelios and Nikals Lidstrom proved why they (not Niedermayer and Pronger) should be considered the best defensive 1-2 punch in the NHL. Mikael Samuelsson scored twice in the first period and the Red Wings shut down the Sharks in the remaining two periods to close this series out in the Shark Tank. Round three of this years playof...

1-1 last night. The Sabres sent the Rangers home last night as predicted. We are left with just 1 second round matchup still in progress, San Jose hosts Detroit tonight and needs a win to keep that series alive.Tonights Game : Detroit Red Wings (3) at San Jose Sharks (2) : The Wings took control of the series with yet another come back win in game 5. San Jose has blown three leads in this series to give Detroit some life. The veteran presence on the Wings won't let that chance go to waste. Despite that San Jose will find a way to win game 6 on home ice tonight. Expect Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo to step up their games tonight and give the Sharks one more chance.Last Nights Game : Buffalo Sabres 5 (4) at New York Rangers 4 (2) : Buffalo's offence woke up in the second period with a 4 goal outburst as Chris Drury leads by example with a goal and an assist and Daniel Briere contributes with 3 assists. New York made it close with goal late in the third period but came up short ...

1-2 last night. Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils were determined to screw up my predictions. Oh well, they got what they deserved, they are going home. Tonight Buffalo will send New York home. At home.Tonights Game :Buffalo Sabres (3) at New York Rangers (2) : Buffalo still hasn't performed as well as everyone had predicted this post season. I'm not suggesting that they will do it tonight, but they will play well enough to beat the Rangers and send them packing. New York has done a great job of playing with energy and containing Buffalo's forward lines. But it is over tonight.Last Night Recap s :San Jose Sharks 1 (2) at Detroit Red Wings 4 (3) : Home ice advantage seems to have turned the trick for the Red Wings last night as they again came back from a deficit to win their third game in this series. Detroit seemed to solve Nabokov last night as both Pavel Datsuk and Henrik Zetterberg managed a goal and 2 assists each to drive the Wings to victory. The bad news is that the...

1-1 last night. Chris Drury left it until 19:52 of the third period but he did eventually provide the offence that I suggested he would. Tonight Ottawa has a chance to send New Jersey home at home. Home is the key here, the Devils will win tonight only to lose game 6 in Ottawa.Tonights Games : Ottawa Senators (3) at New Jersey Devils (1) : The Senators, and more specifically Ray Emery, have outplayed the Devils through this entire series. However, the Devils have been there and done that before and aren't thrown by being on the brink of elimination. The Devils are at home tonight and that should give them enough extra punch to win game 5.San Jose Sharks (2) at Detroit Red Wings (2) : The Sharks have blown 2-0 leads twice in this series to allow the Red Wings to knot things up at 2. With the return of Thomas Homlstrom the Red Wings have a power play threat again and with game 5 being in Detroit I see the Wings taking a 3-2 series lead tonight.Last Nights Recap : New York Rangers 1 (...

1-1 last night. As expected Vancouver went home last night after losing in double OT to Anaheim despite the heroics of Roberto Luongo. Tonight Buffalo will regain the lead in their series vs New York and we will see their vaunted offense wake up a little.Tonights Game :New York Rangers (2) at Buffalo Sabres (2) : Coming home is good and it should be enough to spark the Buffalo Sabres offense in game 5 of this round 2 series. Buffalo has managed only 2 goals in their last 2 games and lost both matches in New York by 2-1 scores. Henrik Lundqvist has arguably outplayed Ryan Miller so far this series but it won't be enough tonight. Chris Druryhas only managed 1 goal and 1 assist in this series (all in game 2) and tonight he will remind us why he is such a valuable player for Buffalo. Drury will be the most effective Sabre tonight on both the offensive and defensive ends and his inspired play will light a fire under the rest of the Sabres tonight as they take game 5 for a 3-2 series lea...

1/2 last night. Martin Brodeur has been uncharacteristically human in round 2 of this years NHL Stanley Cup Playoff's. My prediction for the Ottawa vs New Jersey Series was the Devils in 6. With the play of Brodeur I don't think the Devils can beat the Senators. Sens in 6 as they make it to the Eastern Conference finals for the second year in a row.Tonights Games: Vancouver Canucks (1) at Anaheim Ducks (3) : Tonight the Canucks go home. Roberto Luongo has been solid in net for Vancouver but their front lines simply cannot provide him with enough offense to win a game. Despite Markus Naslund managing to find the score sheet recently the rest of Vancouvers offence seems to be asleep. Anaheim wins 3-1 tonight and advances to the third round.Last Nights Recap s :New Jersey Devils 2 (1) at Ottawa Senators 3 (3) : The Senators took another early lead and managed to protect it with two weak goals on Martin Brodeur. Dany Heatley scored an unassisted goal in the second period on an attempte...

1-2 last night. The Buffalo Sabres forgot to show up and ruined my predictions. Thanks Anaheim for a third period surge to keep me from an o'fer. Tonight both Detroit and New Jersey will attempt to tie their series at 2 games apiece.Tonights Games : New Jersey Devils (1) at Ottawa Senators (2) : The Devils have to come out swinging to even this series up in Ottawa. Brodeur played to expectations in Game 3 but the Devils forwards didn't give him any support. Expect the EGG line to push things tonight and regain their scoring touch as Martin Brodeur puts in a stellar performance to help the Devils even up the series.Detroit Red Wings (1) at San Jose Sharks (2) : Tomas Holmstrom is expected to return tonight in San Jose which should help the Red Wings struggling power play. Detroit is 1-10 on the power play in this series and has lost two games by 1 goal. Change their power play conversion percentage to just 20% and the look of this series changes dramatically. Joe Thornton continues...

2-2 last night as Ottawa beats Brodeur on a disputed goal and San Jose holds on to beat Detroit. The Rangers and Canucks have a chance to even up their series at home tonight but neither will manage it.Tonights Games :Buffalo Sabres (2) a New York Rangers (1) : The Sabres still haven't turned on the afterburners in the 2007 NHL Playoffs , expect them to turn it up a notch tonight in New York as they win to take a 3-1 series lead. Tomas Vanek will continue to chip in offensively and Chris Drury will get on the score sheet tonight.Anaheim Ducks (2) at Vancouver Canucks (1) : Vancouver can't score, they can't do it 5-5, they can't do it on the power play and in game 3 they couldn't manage it on 2 lengthy 5-3 man advantages. The Ducks will take a commanding lead in the series by winning tonight in Vancouver. Teemu Selanne's line is giving the Canucks fits and while his line hasn't put up a lot of points they are deflecting pressure from the second line of Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf...

Yesterday I had some issues with a slippery tranny and was unable to post my usual. Hey, get your mind outta the gutter, the transmission in my car was acting up. The bad news is that I would probably have gone 0fer yesterday. Vancouver was a letdown at home and the Rangers showed some sign of life in New York.Tonights Games :New Jersey Devils (1) at Ottawa Senators (1) : The Devils squeaked one out in overtime in Game 2 as Martin Brodeur returned to form. Ottawa was the stronger team for much of the game and should come out hot tonight to take game 3 of the series.Detroit Red Wings (1) at San Jose Sharks (1) : The Wings game back in the 3rd period to win game 2 and tie up the series. The Sharks are determined not to let what happened to them in last years playoffs occur this year. They will come out pressing the Wings tonight and take a 2-1 series lead with game 3 at home.Last Nights Recap s :Buffalo Sabres 1 (2) at New York Rangers 2 (1) : Game 3 in this series was beginning to loo...
