No.

Phoenix and Nashville are both boring defensive teams because I think sorta kinda someone might have told me one time that maybe Tippet and Trotz play a "defensive-first trap" therefore every game is going to be 1-0 or 2-1.

Mike Smith and Pekka Rinne are also kind of over-rated because of the systems they play in cause those systems are systems and their systems are defense and defense is a system and that system means their really not that good cause its the system stopping the puck not them.

I wouldn't know, I dont watch either team play. But I know this series will be boring for a fact because everything I just said is true (I think) and it makes sense (sorta).

Philadelphia is a boring offensive team because I think sorta kinda someone might have told me one time that the Flyers need to learn how to play with a little more emotion, therefore every game is going to be 10-6 or 8-5.

They should also learn how to play defense as it is obvious that players like Timonen and Pronger are over-rated and have never learned how to do that because of the systems they play in cause those systems are systems and their systems are offense and offense is a system and that system means they're really not that good cause it's the system scoring the goals not them.

I wouldn't know, I don't watch hockey. But I know any series that Philadelphia plays in will be boring for a fact.

You know that even if Québec is a francophone province, there are a lot of anglophones schools, and anglos who don't speak a word of french, and no we don't hunt and kill them.

You can have full tuition in english in Québec. I bet you didn't know one of the best University in the world is in Montréal. It might ring a bell, it's called McGill. It's the only canadian university where your classes are credited if you plan to go to Harvard, just sayin'...

If Gormley can continue to develop I'd poop my pants over an OEL-Gormley pairing. That would be nuts.

Speak for yourself

Five teams (Pittsburgh, Boston, Vancouver, Detroit and Chicago) all finished in the top seven in goals per game during the regular season. All were eliminated in the first round. I'm not sure we'll see a lot high scoring games (7-5 types)....but I think we'll see a lot of games won in the final minutes (3-2 types).

You mean bill 101? That sh!ts been around for decades and the only people it hurts is the french and the immigrants. You see the bill states that if your parents went to English school, then the child is eligible for English school. Therefor the English are given the right and choice to send their kids to English or French school, or like most, send them to both. The French parents on the other had have absolutely no say in which language their child learns. Got to love backwards, corrupt and fascist Quebec politics

Amazing that you picked up on his sarcasm, but didn't pick up on mine. I even used a little emoticon dude, too...geez. Do I have to spell it out? OK:

You can be quite sure that I was agreeing completely with his sarcasm, very sarcastically, making fun of people who don't really appreciate hockey that most hockey fans find entertaining regardless of the fact that their team may not be the one that is winning using that particular style/technique/strategy.

Yandle has already become a second pair defenseman. I'd be shocked if he made it another four years in Phoenix.

I'm pretty sure that seven teams all finished in the top seven in goals per game during the regular season.

Ottawa was number 5 and also was eliminated in the first round, but they were 24th in goals against in the regular season.

Back to goals for in the regular season, Philadelphia was number 3 & Nashville was number 8. Tampa & Toronto were numbers 9 & 10 but that didn't seem to help too much this year since the were the bottom two for goals against. New Jersey was number 11 and the Rangers were number 13 and Washington was number 15. I find it amusing that the "boring defensive team" Nashville was number 8 in goals for, but number 9 in goals against.

Why wouldn't we see some high scoring games in the second round, as well as some low-scoring games? 7-5 wasn't a typical score in the regular season, so why would it be now? Keep in mind that Philly was 21st for goals against and Washington was 18th, so who knows what the East series will be like? Rinne & Smith gave up 7 goals between the two of them last night...

That's on the island, and usually players live on south shore/Brossard which is right beside the practice facility.

Even if his kid goes to school on the island, knowing a 2nd language is a great asset man.

Nope there's actually a new rule in Montréal about that, he's right. Everything must go in french, even at recess. They want a french environment, because I guess hispanic kids for example would speak together in spanish during recess or during class instead of practicing their french. They can practice their native language at home I guess is their point.
