Who has a better chance of coming back Flyers or Wings?

[ROOLZ]

I'm gonna say Flyers, just because I really didn't think the Bruins had the firepower to go up 3 games in the first place. The Flyers impressed me against the Devils.. especially Boucher.

The Wings IMHO, are the unfortunate victim of Joe Thornton finally waking up in the playoffs, which has ignited the Sharks.

booooooooo!!!!!!

booooooooo!!!!!!

Sorry man. I just think the Sharks have gotten over the hump. It's no disrespect to the Wings at all.

That said, if there's a team that could choke away a 3 game lead West of DC, it's the Sharks. I really think the WFs are going to be spectacular, and the West is hands down odds on favorites to win the cup...UNLESS MAF plays the way he did the other night, the rest of the way.

None of the Western teams have really looked that great either. The Hawks and Canucks have each had some bad games, the Sharks had a shaky round one and have been in very close games this entire series with the Wings.

 

[ROOLZ]

I really doubt either team bounces back, to be honest.

It's funny. I've watched more West games than I have East. Summer time. I'm going until dark pretty much every day. By the time I get in and get settled down, the EC games are done unless there's OT.

I don't believe either will come back, but I would say the Flyers.

To be honest I dont think either has a chance, so I will tell you who I think has the best chance of winning a game. Detriot, mainly because I think Howard has been bad and could rebound, they also seem to be the healthier of the 2.

As for the West being favorites, I guess we will see. The same was said last year and look what happened.

Wel, I think it's a testament to the competition. I've seen flashes of greatness from Vancouver, Chicago, and even San Jose.

These playoffs have been pretty damn awesome. I sure wish my Caps were still in it, but alas...MAYBE NEXT FUCKIN YEAR!

Sorry. That was like a leaking gas valve.. I'm over it, but then again, i'm not over it.

The Caps are like a girl that cheated on you. Do you take her back after she cheated on you..Once you've paid her back by cheating as well? If you do, CAN YOU EVER TRUST HER?

IMO, this year's Pens team doesn't seem nearly as focused as last year's team. Call it lack of focus, hunger, motivation, whatever. i just don't think they're as good as they were. That said, obviously they're one of the more dangerous teams left, and have a great chance to repeat.

Again, MAF is their key. I haven't seen him look that good in a while. he was on his game the other night like maybe I've personally ever seen.. then again, he only faced 18 shots. I'd need to see a repeat performance to be a believer, and believe me, i don't want to be a believer

The Flyers chances just got better with the Bruins losing Krejci for the remainder of the playoffs. I think Philly wins game 4, the Bruins wrap it up at home game 5. As for Detroit, I think they've got their work cut out for them not to get swept as San Jose seems to be clicking right now. I don't see either team coming back to win the series.

 

[scottflyers88]

the west teams have not looked great because they are playing great teams. all the teams in the west are cup contenders. in my opinion if the east teams were in the west they would not make it out of the second round. maybe not even the first. the west teams would have walked all over the east teams that got eliminated and it took east teams 6 or 7 games to win the series.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I guess it is easier to say the east cant compete when your team is out or hanging on by a thread. I think the Pens are good enough to beat anyone in a 7 game series, and have proven it the last 2 seasons.

 

[scottflyers88]

i have been saying this since the playoffs started. and teams change in the offseason. in my opinion the sharks, canucks, and hawks have all goteen better in the offseason.

 

[ELYEAH82]

My claim the Wings will win one looks good so far.

 

[scottflyers88]

why do they play 2 games at the same time? i would much rather watch that game.

 

[ELYEAH82]

Det is in the Eastern Time zone, I dont think they want to start the game at 10 Pm their time...

 

[scottflyers88]

i thought detroit was central time.

 

[ELYEAH82]

i thought detroit was central time.

Nope it is Eastern

 

[scottflyers88]

hmmmm..... where do the western time zone starts. maybe my idea of where michigan is is way off. let me check a map.

 

[scottflyers88]

i think in my mind i had michigan and wisconsin switched and ann arbor on the other side.
