Oh...also...pressure is typically a bad thing...so not sure about your arguement there...EXPECTATIONS may be higher for San Jose, but I think that's just because of the final numbers in the standings. All that goes out the playoff window! But it should be fun to watch (and prob a lil nerve racking too!)
P.S. Ott sends a message...."Bring it on!!"

PP and PK isnt debatebale. We were #1 in PK and #8 in PP, you were #2 in PK and #18 in PP, I dont see where the debate is. Teh expectations from us here go beyond our regular season this year, they began when we gave up a 2-1 series lead to the Wings last year in round 2, or even the year before that when we gave up a 2-1 series lead to the Oilers.

If Ott wants to bring it on, why was he skating away like a little biotch and refusing to fight several people after boarding Michalek in the last game of the year?

Anyhow, good luck in the series, Itll be fun talking shit over the next two weeks with you, the teams are fairly evenly matched and I think it should be a good series.

Its partially an inside joke with a member of another forum I am on. She went to Michigan and knows Turco and her handle is Sharkbait, so I told her to send him an e-mail letting him know where I would be and the sign I would be holding.

haha...that's awesome...Turco is my fav player so Im really hoping he keeps up the good play....tell your friend that if she can get me a meet with him, I could die happy (after I take delivery of my 1 of course!) .....where WILL you be in the tank tonight? (I'm sure Versus will pan you though...that sign will just be too tempting for them haha)....:w00t:

That was a lackluster performance by us last night. If we keep insisting on playing like that, this isnt going to last very long. We need to win Sunday, and just like Turco owns us at the tank, we own the Stars in Dallas.

I will agree that these two teams do seem to play better in the other's barn....I have no doubt it is going to be a long series. With that said...I'd much rather be 1-0 if I'm Dallas going into Game 2...still wish Zubov and Boucher were in there though!!

Sorry, but if the Stars do win this series, which they might, it will not be in a game 7 in San Jose.

Yup, I guess Theodore remembered he sucks.

[hitthemark41]

yeah I wonder if Budaj gets the nod in game 3...prob not, but I'm sure Moustache Joel is mullin' it over! as for my Stars...if there IS a game 7 in San Jose, I imagine it will look alot like Game 1...I'd put money on OT...honestly, I think alot of it depends on the status of Dallas' blue line...the rookies have played well...but would we rather have Zubov and Boucher? ummm....YEAH!!

Stars in 7 because the Wings match up better against Dallas.

7 because Sharks need to beat the crap out of Dallas before they get to the Wings.

haha prediction via self benefit...spoken like a true hockey fan! Yeah it certainly doesnt look like the Wings are going to get much resistance from Colorado..unless they play at home like Nashville did. The best we can hope for is a sweep and a long lay off waiting for the Sharks/Stars winner...and maybe a little rust builds up. Unlikely though..Detroit just seems to play at a diff level when they want to this year...

Detroit can turn it up a notch and they have 4 lines that can produce. As long as Ozzy plays like he is, we stand a good chance to go all the way.

Pens are looking good or just haven't face any real competition.
