San Jose is going to choke, it's a given. I'm putting my money on Detroit over Phoenix. Ottawa Pittsburgh could go either way.

I actually don't ever see the puck. It's always going too fast. They should introduce a Michael Jackson-like Billie Jean press pad that reacts to the puck so I always know where it is :sohappy:

I feel Fleury is a better goalie but I wanted to look up the stats, this is what I got:

ELIOTT
29-18-4
2.57 GAA
.909 SV%

FLEURY
37-21-6
2.65 GAA
.905 SV%

...not to mention that Eliott is 3-0 in Pittsburgh

I normally understand most sports because I've played them, but I never understood hockey.. It seems like such a fun sport, but people bash it all the time.

Fleury is having an off season
i'd still play fleury in the playoffs because of his experience though

Khabibulin had playoffs experience which is the only reason i'd play him ,he did tank it though last year
.898% lol...
Niemi is alright but he's sorta inconsistent like he let 5 goals in against st.louis but than the next game against colorado he'd play great.. He's definitely better than huet tho

Don't worry dom, I fixed your video link for you. I figured you had the wrong one when I realized it was hockey.

lol playoff experience? maybe. if you want an example of inconsistency you look at nikolai, when he wasnt hurt that is.

I think if you look at those games where Niemi let in 4 or more goals you'll see the majority were high scoring like that. Or they were outliers, in which case you can ignore them.

I'm sorry but baseball is a snooze fest. I can barely stay awake to watch an entire game. I'll watch hockey usually only during the playoffs when it matters.

Baseball is intense if you've played it and understand why it's so slow paced.

Hockey...I have nothing against it, but the Clint Malarchuk/Richard Zednik incidents sort of killed it for me.

baseball is only boring because pitchers have become so fast at throwing its almost impossible for people to hit the balls. If you see the average scores from like 1920 compared to today, baseball games were a lot higher scoring. Back then it was really exciting, thats why it has been a national pastime.
