    That's my fear. Honestly, Dallas doesn't scare me too much, except Turco. He alone could carry Dallas to the cup. I think Dal vs Col is the second best series in the playoffs. Tor vs Ott is easily the best, the hatred those two have is great.

    BTW, I can't believe there's actually a debate over whether baseball is better than hockey. If you are arguing that, you've never seen high quailty hockey.

    "Can't see the puck"? Please. That's your problem, not the sport's. I've never had trouble following the puck.

    East
    Tampa over NYI in 5
    Mtl over Boston in 6
    NJ over Philly in 7 - Great series but NJ always steps up in the playoffs
    Ottawa over Toronto in 6

    WEST
    Detroit over Nashville in 5
    San Jose over St. Louis in 6
    Calgary over Vancouver in 6
    Dallas over Colorado in 7 - Colorado has the better team, but Dallas has better tending

    I don't watch boxing

    I don't watch wrestling

    You make it sound like everyone should enjoy watching stuff that has violence in it.

    Let me guess - you were always the kid in high school that about peed in his pants when a fight occurred.:rolleyes: :p

    sounds like you're the one who avoids the fights...not me. did you enjoy the time in the corner hiding from the girls who you thought would beat you up?

    There are some GREAT first round matchups:

    Col - Dallas
    Van - Calgary
    Tor - Ottawa
    NJ - Philly

    Dallas has been very good lately -- especially at home. I was glad Vcr got Calgary instead (not that they'll be easy!)

    ROTFLMFAO - ooh tough guy, you got me on that one.

    Please don't come through my computer and kick my ass, hulk.:rolleyes:

    I was going to apologize as I have not been in a good mood due to a 4 hour meeting, but forget that now.

    I just find it hilarious that you, Chad, have to justify liking hockey because it has fights which is what a lot of hockey fans say is good about it.

    Tell you what, when you post something meaningful, send me an email, okay?

    sorry, i don't think i typed what i said the way i meant to say it. Manny, i respect your opinion fully. i was simply replying to a sarcastic statement by you --- "you were always the kid in high school that about peed in his pants when a fight occurred" and replying with a sarcastic statement back. i guess i forgot the ":p".

    sorry for the misunderstanding. hope your day gets better.

    I've never been to an NHL hockey game and don't follow it too closely.. but I have enjoyed the Aeros games I've been to..

    now that I'm in Nashville and the predators have made it... to anyone that has gone to NHL games. well worth it?

    yes, except that they will most likely be beat by detroit.

    however, if they do pull out an upset win...well, that would be an amazing game.

    I have no rooting interest really so I wouldn't mind them losing. I'm just here for school so I could care less about Nashville sports teams. Actually I've never even seen a predators game. So the fact that they will lose wouldn't be a problem for me. The fact that they are playing the top team is probably what is making me want to go. Tickets seem to be rare and expensive though so we'll see.

    Really? See, I'm the opposite, I'm glad that Colorado drew Dallas. Like I said, this will FORCE us to be at the top of our game. If we can't beat Dallas, we don't deserve to win. I want to be tested early and often.
