Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Yay! Stanley Cup playoffs! Here's my picks:



Tampa Bay Vs Islanders - Tampa Bay, no question about it.

Boston Vs Montreal - Boston, but this is a close one

New Jersey Vs Philadelphia - Philadelphia

Toronto Vs Ottawa - Toronto (my team)

Detroit Vs Nashville - Detroit

San Jose Vs St. Louis - San Jose

Vancouver Vs Calgary - Calgary

Colorado Vs Dallas - Dallas (I hate Colorado)



Overall pick? Possibly Tampa Bay. Can't say for sure, not until next rounds.

Okay, you've got me! What sport do they play for the Stanley Cup in? :confused: :confused:

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Leafs all the way! I think this is the best team they've had in a few years.

Just a pity Nolan picked up an injury.

They must have a psychological advantage as well after beating Ottawa 6-0 a few days ago.

Hockey

Some people claim that its the hardest trophy to win in sports. 82 regular season games, then 4 playoff rounds all best of 7, all completed in less time that your average football season.

Hockey on ice, or the other kind?

On ice

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Aah. Heavily padded men beating the cr*p out of each other while a small disc of black plastic zipps irrelevantly around an ice rink.

Forgive me if I find it hard to get enthusiastic about Stan and his cup.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Have you ever been to a game? I used to think the same until I was in Canada a few years ago and started watching it.

Theres not a huge amount of fighting (esp in the British game). It is a very fast and physical game.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

There is another kind?

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Two other kinds, inline hockey and field hockey.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

Never heard of either of those names, although I'm guessing the version we played at school was 'field' hockey. I really enjoyed it, much more so than Rugby. Our teacher was an Olympic referee (still is, AFAIK), so I guess his enthusiasm for the game must've rubbed off.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
 

The only thing that attracts me to "field" hockey are those skirts the girls wear..... :drool: :drool:
