Ok Ok The Devils knocked out the Lightning. Have to admit I'm not really surprised since only 2 out of how many players for the Lightning have been playing with any consistency. Watch out guys for the bus, there's no telling what Torts will say, that interview the other night was hilerious. I'm going for Rangers and Devils in the next round. And that includes anyone who takes on Buffalo if they make it to the third round. I think the bus will be hitting Fedetenko first....he dressed the last game but had no shifts and then today he was a healthy scratch. Ya I saw that and I'm sad for him. And I love how the papers here even today are still saying that Johnny was bad here even though his #'s and wins were better last year than with the two we had this year. I'm wondering now if they think if they stick up for Johnny that Torts will put a hit out on them. lol

I know this thread is supposed to be about who gets Stanley, and I suppose what I am going to say, sort of has to do with that...
Why is it that the playoffs bring out the worst in people? I mean, I always really enjoy the playoffs, as long as I am not out in public. People are such idiots. It especially bothers me, when it's someone who is my friend, and because thier team is playing mine, they trash talk, and are just RUDE intentionally to ME, because thier team won a game. I don't understand trash talking, it makes YOU look like a retard, especially after your team loses, and you have to eat all your idiotic words. I pretty rarely ever say anything, and certainly, I am not rude on purpose.(Unless it's provoked, haha) I just don't get it. Just like all the Lightning fans that talked trash through the Devils games, now look. I dunno. It just bugs me. Why can't people enjoy the playoffs and not have to be jerks about it?!

Your right on the money there a4jg... playoffs do seem to bring out the very worst in people... for some strange reason. Pretty much keeping your mouth shut is the way to go because like you said.. then you don't have to eat your own words when your team loses!!! At least you don't have to deal with what Linus Lover does... an entire family of in laws that trash talk our Canes all the time and think the Sabres walk on water... and they have all been in the same HOUSE for almost a week!!!! LOL........ awwww.. poor Heather.....

I agree. I work with a girl from NY so when the Rangers made the playoffs and the Canes didn't, she came in bragging and trying to rub it in my face and trying to tear me apart because of it. I just stood there with the look of *quoi?* on my face and when she was done ranting said "And?" She just looked at me and then walked away. I am all about some friendly competition, but there is no reason to get all catty and rude just because its playoff time. It's just a game.

Yes it hasn't been the most pleasant of experiences although our one friend that's there is a HUGE Sabres fan and I was telling him how we're getting all kinds of crap and he said "tell them who cares what you think, OUR names are on the Cup already"! That kind of shocked me cause I didn't expect it from him and it cracked me up. Oh and the Brodeur shirts did NOT go over well. MWA HA HA HA HA HA

Have you ever noticed that the loser is the only one who says "It's just a game"...?

I'm glad to know that you guys understand. It's just stupid and annoying. I understand being passionate about your team, because I am, but there's a line to be drawn. I mean, this person is saying things to me that could easily ruin a friendship, and I am trying my best not to let it. It's hard for me, because I take it personally. I realise, it's not personal, but I take it that way, and people who know me, know that, and she just keeps doing it, and in fact, I know she does it just to piss me off, so you can imagine how hard it's been for me not to let her KNOW it's pissing me off. Be competitive, root on your team, fine. But don't treat me like I'm less of a person because I'm not cheering on the same side as you.

I'm starting to think that NJ has this "second round playoff jinx". I have NO clue who to pull for if they loose the next game! The only postive thing about losing is I get to see Marty do the splits more often in the games....the more they are behind in goals....the better the splits gets

Yeah unfortunately Ottawa is eating them alive and coming back against them down 3-1 is going to be near impossible. After they're out it becomes ABB for me!
