gonna be the best game of the season

/sens fan

Let's go Leafs!

/Isles fan

Go Leafs Go!

/'nucks fan

anyone else see Anaheim gag away the chance to clinch the Pacific not once, but TWICE.

Dallas scored to tie the game with 6 seconds left in regulation. Then Selanne had a chance to win it in the shootout and rang the post. Incredible!

Go Habs!

The Shoveller


Of course, that's assuming the Isles can get past the juggernaut that is the Flyers tomorrow afternoon.



I wouldn't be so sure.

Can I release a bunch of Italian riot police in the ACC? The world would be a better place for it...

I'd rather Toronto make it. More interesting for them to play the Sabres.

Really? I thought the habs-sabres games were some of the best I've seen all year, and I do have the centre ice package.

Once again Go Habs Go!

Dear subby,
You cannot in good consciousness like both the Leafs and the Habs. These fan bases are mutually exclusives. It's part of the Canadian Charter.

That being said, Go Habs Go.

If the Islanders win their final two games then this game decides dick.

It's the lesser of two evils, or teams that I hate. Go Canucks! Also this is the most hockey posts I have ever seen in one day on fark, good on ya.

Nope, sorry, but if the Habs win they are in regardless of what the Islanders do, the Islander need the Leafs to win.

Habs will have 92 points and 43 wins if they take this game, the Islanders can get 93 points but with only 40 wins. Habs take it on the tie-breaker.

err, make that 92 points for the Islanders as well


/its late

Go Montreal!

I'm gonna root for Montreal 'cause I'm a Sens fan and therefore, Toronto sucks.

But I'd still love the Sens to get some retribution against the Leafs in the playoffs. But that ain't happenin' this year. (Even if the Leafs make it in, they ain't beating Buffalo. That chore will be reserved for the Senators.)

Go Leafs Go!

/'nucks fan

That's the first time i've ever seen or heard those two lines together.

On the one hand, it would be amusing for the leafs to win, just to string leafs fans along for a little longer, because they're not going to win anything in the playoffs if they make it, which they wont.

On the other hand, I do take much joy from watching leafs fans flop around like dead fish when all hope is lost, and the sooner it happens, the better.

I'm so conflicted! Why does God love me so?

Go Hab's.

This will be a game for the ages. One of those hockey games, like the Good Friday Massacre, or the Too Many Men on the Ice game, that people talk aboot for years. Go Habs Go! Go Habs Go!

Unless the Leafs (spit) win in regulation. Then it's Go Isles Go!

Potvin sucks!

Go Sabres!

/Sabres fan
//Double slash for the whooping the Sabres'll put on either of them!
///For also being a Blackhawks fan :(

Sarcasticus But I'd still love the Sens to get some retribution against the Leafs in the playoffs. But that ain't happenin' this year. (Even if the Leafs make it in, they ain't beating Buffalo. That chore will be reserved for the Senators.)

So you are in the second round already?
Love seeing the overconfidence. do-be-do-be-dooo

/Go Sens Go

1927 ring a bell?

So, really now, Aren't they playing for who will get eliminated first in the playoffs?

themoogle

Do you need a footstool or a ladder to help you reach like that?

1927 ring a bell?

Yeah, because it's easy to win a Cup when the team doesn't exist.

this is like playing the 65/64 game in the NCAA tournament.

Go Leafs Go!!!

/Leafs fan
//At least the Raptors are looking good, eh?

Hey, don't harass the hockey fans. We get hostile =P

Isles up 3-0.

It's looking less and less implausible that the Isles snag the 8th spot. I hope to see it happen.

I'd love to see both Toronto and Montreal left out in the cold, and shut both those fanbases up, after they've been hyping tonight's game as if it's the game of the century or something.

Sabres up 2-0 after two.

If Buffalo holds on to win, they win their first President's Trophy in franchise history, regardless of how much Detroit beats up on Chicago.

Go Habs Go!

/hockey fan

In celebration of my first greenlight, I'm going to predict a Habs victory 3-0.

//Liking both meant Hockey and Soccer.
///The leafs always fall, Go Habs Go!

I'm a Leafs fan and I honestly hope they lose tonight. I just want the the ridiculous "if we make the playoffs, we could win the cup! Look at Edmonton last year" talk to end. This team is a pile of crap. Sundin is NOT worth $6mil, McMuffin isn't anywhere near a $2mil player let alone a $5.5mil player. Kubina is the largest waste of money in the NHL this year (even more than Samsonov). JFJ is the worst GM in hockey. He's a nice guy, but has no ability to judge the value of hockey players. Bad trades, bad contracts ... all around just BAD. Hopefully two years of no playoffs might convince the teachers to put an experienced President/GM in place like what they did with the Raptors. Sigh. Oh yeah ... and they should fire Richard Peddie.

/sorry ... venting
//I hate Leafs fans who aren't hockey fans

Isles beat Philly 4-2.

I think the Leafs are now the least likely team to make it.

Montreal controls their own destiny. Win and they're in. Even if they lose in OT/SO, they can still get in with an Isles loss tomorrow.

Isles can get in as long as Montreal fails to get 2 points tonight. If the Habs lose in regulation or OT/SO, then the Isles will control their own destiny tomorrow afternoon. They will also be facing a win-and-in situation.

The Leafs are the longest shot remaining. Not only must they win in regulation tonight (a win in OT/SO will still eliminate them), but they also need for the Isles to lose tomorrow. Even if Toronto wins tonight in regulation, they don't control their playoff destiny.

So if I have it figured correctly, the likelihood of each team making the playoffs now goes Montreal > Isles > Toronto.

It's a great game but lets not go crazy.

nobody wants to go to buffalo!

I'm a huge Original Six fan, and this matchup makes me cream my pants. And yes, it IS the best regular season game I've ever seen.

c'mon souray

hockeyfarker
You just summoned the Brodeur pic.

just 1 more goal

go habs

You guys watchin this on CBC? HNIC is available here in Detroit, I can't live without it.

By the way, the headline is incorrect. The Leafs don't make the playoffs unless they win and the Islanders don't get two points in their final game.

Holy Fark, Michigan State just scored with 18.9 seconds left in the NCAA title game!!!!

...

I have two favourite teams: The Vancouver Canucks and whoever happens to be playing the Leafs.

oh well?

I was kinda hoping for a Wings/Avs matchup in the first round... it's so boring to play the Flames, and I hate watching games in the Pacific timezone... YAAAAAAWN!

robsul82: Impressed with Toronto's late season run, will be generously bestowing upon them a playoff spot.

/c'mon, his name's Martin Pierre Brodeur, he's for Toronto

Word on the internets is that Clemmenson (or whatever the fark the guy's name is who backs up Brodeur) is getting the start tomorrow.

shiat,hopefully the Islanders are pooped from their game with... THE FLYERS??? OH WE'RE farkED!!

robsul82: I don't know about that, Brodeur plays and the Devils win, he gets the season win record to himself. He doesn't/he loses and the Canucks win with Luongo, they're tied.

C'mon now, what's more important to the Devils? A regular season record for Brodeur, or risking injury to their important players in a meaningless game (to them) on the eve of the playoffs?

This game means nothing to New Jersey. They have nothing to gain and their playoff seed is set. The main goal of the Devils in this game should be avoiding injury to key players. Time to send in the scrubs, if there ever was one.

Go Isles!

Go Isles!
/suck it leafs
//golf leafs golf
///1967

Go Leafs!

Even if the Isles win today, I can handle that...WE knocked out Montreal and that's key.

I sure hope Legend Lou doesn't sit Brodeur. He knows how important this game is...I hope he does the right thing.

GO DEVILS!!!!!

The Devils are sitting Brodeur today. It's a farking conspiracy to get another American team in the playoffs. Robsul82 if you could just talk to your buddy Marty and ask him to play today - please?

/Please?
/Pretty please?

Actually was an incredible game. Yay, Leafs! Although I love the Habs as well, especially with Mike Johnson, from my alma mater.

Aaaaand the Leafs are golfing yet again.
