I know you guys most likely hate the Flyers but i like them and read this
http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/ ... 45392.html
Keith Primeau had a serious concussion early in the season and i think this would make The Flyers axtatic and maybe keep from Forsberg taking all the hits.

Sure it could, the Rangers are now down 2-0 to the Devils. I love the fact that Rangers fans for years complained and moaned that the reason that they could not win was because of clutching and grabbing. That the only reason the Devils won three Stanley Cups was because they could get away with it. Well now the league changes the rules to cater to the Rangers and they still come up short.... I’m no Devils fan or anything, but I love how well managed that team is year in year out. I hope one day the Caps could get to that point.

You have a point... living here in Flyer country stinks... have to hear everyday how bad the Caps are so seeing them get smoked right now has given me a few days of smack talk.

About the Flyers, as sure as the sun will rise in the morning. The Flyers will overpay for free agents and fail in the first round of the playoffs. You know how some teams are cursed? I believe that the entire city of Philly is a cursed sports town.

They can keep on being cursed too... from stupid Flyer fans to ignorant eagle fans... PHILLY SUCKS!
When is Clarke going to realize that his mentality of putting a team together is outdated by 30 years???

Lightning v. Senators (1-1):
Probably the best series so far. Senators will win as Hognosticated by yours truly.
Sharks v. Predators (1-1):
Penalties have been critical here. Sharks will take the series as hognosticated.
Oilers v. Red Wings (1-1):
Red Wings are one of the teams to beat. Detroit will take it as hognosticated
Mighty Ducks v. Flames (1-1):
Flames will take it as hognosticated. The seating ducks got one to make it interesting.
Avalanche v. Stars (2-0):
This is a surprise. Very even series could have gone either way. It still might but 2-0 is a big lead for the Avs. I am affraid I might be wrong on this one.
Rangers v. Devils (0-2):
NY is not even putting up a good fight.They are done as hognosticated.
Canadiens v. Hurricanes (2-0):
I Hognosticated success for my team but even I did not expect this result so far. The Habs are playing as if Gainey and Charbonneau were still in the line up 20 years ago. Amazing team effort. Good Swiss goalie too. It is not impossible albeit unlikely for Carolina to come back.
Flyers v. Sabres (0-2):
Flyers are done. Another BIG mistake for this hognosticator. Sabres were playing well. This series is turning nasty among the players -and- among the coaches. If you are looking for an ugly fight and a rough game, watch here.

Latest standings:
Lightning v. Senators (1-3):
As hognosticated.
Sharks v. Predators (3-1):
As hognosticated
Oilers v. Red Wings (2-2):
We have a series here. Oilers are playing above their level. Detroit is under-performing. It will go to seven games. Coin is in the air.
Mighty Ducks v. Flames (2-2):
Close series. It might go to seven games. Flames will win it as hognosticated.
Avalanche v. Stars (3-0):
Talk about underperforming. Stars should be ashamed of themselves. They are flat and gone.
Rangers v. Devils (0-3):
As hognosticated (but I thought Rangers would put up at least anything to resemble a small fight). Boring.
Canadiens v. Hurricanes (2-1):
Thanks to the refs and a fantastic 22 year-old goalie, Carolina is back. We lost our Captain and, tragically, he probably lost his eye. The refs did not even call it a penalty. Very sad.
Flyers v. Sabres (1-2):
We have a new series here. It has been rough and personal. Ugly games but if you like wrestlemania...

Four series tied after four games just as if the series were new and for two wins out of the three last games. Great playoffs.
Latest standings:
Lightning v. Senators (1-3):
I really like Le Cavalier but the Senators are on their way to the next round.
Sharks v. Predators (3-1):
I really like Kariya bu one player can not do it all.
Oilers v. Red Wings (2-2):
New series.
Mighty Ducks v. Flames (2-2):
New series.
Avalanche v. Stars (3-1):
Mission "impossible" for the Stars.
Rangers v. Devils (0-3):
Mission "summer holiday" for the Rangers
Canadiens v. Hurricanes (2-2):
New series. How many sticks on the face will Montreal players get -without- being called by the refs, let alone the interference against our goalie!
Flyers v. Sabres (2-2):
New wrestling match, sorry series.
Forsberg played his guts out over the last couple of games.

Latest standings:
Lightning v. Senators (1-4):
Done as hognosticated.
Sharks v. Predators (4-1):
Done as hognosticated.
Oilers v. Red Wings (4-2):
Wrong prediction.
Mighty Ducks v. Flames (2-3):
So far so good but it is not over yet.
Avalanche v. Stars (4-1):
Wrong prediction.
Rangers v. Devils (0-4):
Done as hognosticated.
Canadiens v. Hurricanes (2-3):
I am in real trouble here.
Flyers v. Sabres (2-3):
I am in trouble here too.
