Official Avalanche 2006 Playoff Thread

[stimulant j]

hate it or love it .

we jus took out the 2nd seed DALLAS STARS In 5 GAMES :silly:

CLINCHING The SERIES in OVERTIME !

[~*~Sonya~*~]

Im Cheerin on Colorado, have been since canucks were out.. GOOOO AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BongMan]

A northwest team will be in the finals it has been predicted

[KenJi]

Yea Colorado I hope calgary gets knocked out either by anaheim or most likely next round.

I'm cheering for Colorado too along with ottawa.

I always cheer for Colorado though

[KenJi]

p.s: san jose always is on to the next round.

i want montreal to win but carolina is up 3 games to 2 now

[stimulant j]

if i had it my way .. i'd want my boys plays the red wings.

but that doesnt look too promising .. I see the oilers takin that series .. and the Flames winning theirs

leaving it at :

Col @ SJ , Edm @ Cal - which will be disgustING

Quenville will have to mastermind a plot to make sure Thornton & Marleau are kept off the score sheets.

Shadow most likely .. Dan Hinote or Laaksonen would be the best choices.
The series will come down to Colorado stayin out of the box.

SJ took us out a few yrs back .. w/ Scott Hannan all over Forsberg... Now we dont heavily rely on 1 player. Tanguay, Sakic, Hejduk, Brunette are all dangerous players. Look for Wolski to hit the scoresheets too.

If Theodore plays like he did today ( 50 saves, .965 save percentage ) -- i honestly think Col could do it in 5.

Skrastins has been a fuckin beast .. blocking 4-5 shots a game.. Liles & Blake are lookin better then ever on both D and Offense. Good to see the Avs clicking on all cylinders.

PPL can say wut they want .. that SJ is too good or what not .. But bottom line is the AVS just took out 2nd seed Dallas .. who were the 2nd hottest team heading into the playoffs behind NJ --- 3rd was SJ , 4th was Anaheim.

Will be very interesting.

As for Calgary .. if they do get Edmonton .. that will be probably the best series we'll see in these playoffs.. dont gotta explain why.

I predict EDM .. if they can beat Detroit, they can take anyone.

imo this whole series is theodore. he will win or lose the series for them. colorado can run and gun with sj, but they'll need the key stop from theo when it counts. the question is if he can do that.

i am a theo fan, i've been watching him all year, and to say he was struggling is being nice. even this series vs dallas, he didn't lose them the series, but he didn't when them the series either. if theo improves his game, colorado is in good shape. but if he plays against sj like he did against dallas, expect joe thornton to break out, and marleau to continue his scoring.

so justin...
how about those av's eh?

hahahahahah

1 period away from elimination.

[KenJi]

I said if they lost the second game to anaheim they would be in trouble well looks like the series might be a sweep.

Those ducks are really mighty these days

[Pennywise]

[Chewy]

colorado got f'ed in the A

[Filo]

fuck colorado... i took theodore, blake and sakic in my pool... what a bunch of losers

[stimulant j]

^ nice choices dingus .. not even i took an AVS . haha - (im laughin cuz i took Briere, Connoly, Kotalik, Afinigenov & Drury!)

anyways i posted this sumwhere already and im cutting and pasting again .. too lazY


welll it was a long and crazy seasoN .

i'll be the first to admit it was a bad way to go out .

but not even I expected the distance the AVS would go..

THey exceeded all my expectations ... i wouldve been happy w/ 1st round exit .. considering the circumstances ( loss of fors/foote, goaltending, defence, 1 line team ) --


Wolski, Svatos, Hejduk, Tanguay, Mclean, Liles, Budaj still got miles ahead. They are the future of the Avs.

Sakic will be back .. Im almost certian we`ve seen the last of Rob Blake & Pierre Turgeon ... and Brisebrois has to go ..

Im confident that Theodore will be back in form by next season.

The Future looks very promising.

GO AVS GO!!!!!!!!!!

^ See, I see what you did there, trying to stay positive and all that. But what you would call "not jumping off the bandwagon", I call "looking through rose coloured glasses" at best, and "living in denial" at worst.

I wasn't around for most of this NHL season so I didn't see enough to pass too much judgement, but when I look at my team I see a starting goalie who is still a question mark, another goalie who we don't really want anymore but we inexplicably gave him a 2 year contract, a nucleus that doesn't have the explosiveness that it used to (thanks in large part to the incredible disappearing man Bertuzzi), and well.. I can't help but look at how Brian Burke is doing in his new role and wonder (not for the first time) at the decision to fire him.

Am I jumping off the bandwagon? Or am I being realistic? You tell me.

I still want my Canucks to be a winning team when I get home. I just have my doubts, that's all.

The real reason Burke was fired was because John Mccaw *owner at the time* and Brian Burke never got along.

You might even say Mccaw was jealous believe it or not of vancouver's turn around from a crappy team to one of the better teams in the league.

and yes Burke brought in Niedermayer and Selanne to Anaheim and was VERY ACTIVE during the weeks up to the trading deadline, whereas Nonis was basically a sitting duck making no changes to anything including the core.

[Grapes]

I knew the reasons why Burke was fired. I'm just saying it calls them into question.. um... more so.

Let's switch it up and say it makes Canuck management look dumber.

OMG what if he wins the cup!

[Goodfellow]

omgomgoomgmogm the avalanche are out ! maybe I should go to some denver forums and post on there and tell everyone how lame their team is and rub it in !!! 1111
