美国荣获世界青年传单回报,形成
首先,我利用这个时间,祝贺美国队U-20队的世界青年田径锦标赛上赢得了加拿大在任何级别,我见过的最好的游戏之一。 游戏中的流动来回整个加拿大抹着两个目标,美国队领先美国在加时赛中6-5击败调节前队在最后三分钟的时间。 加拿大再次有一个令人难以置信的天才团队和行连续第二年在家乡父老在他们身后,但美国队没有让自己的水平,影响重点,这是受到很大的尊重。 所以,恭喜两支球队上一场令人难以置信的比赛,希望这是一个前奏,我们将看到2月在温哥华。
归核化对非霍奇金淋巴瘤的新闻,这是一个完美的时间,欢迎费城飞人的竞争者表。 我一直特别重要的这支球队迄今为止打得如此糟糕,因为他们有太多的人才。 迈克尔·礼顿提供了一些急需的稳定的净张贴了7-0-0记录了惊人的2.14 GAA一样,有机会赢得每天晚上一个netminder打任何一支球队。 其余球队uped的很好,但他们的水平发挥出来,战术和战略的传单没有解释为什么有尊重所有的一个突然返回。 在上周对阵匹兹堡的传单击败了的企鹅7-4,在整个游戏中,老飞人已经采取措施来赢得了“战斗的硬汉”,使自己的球队宝贵的惩罚分钟的过程中,有很多机会最终输掉了比赛。 但这些新的传单保持冷静,留专注于真正的任务在手,这是赢得比赛的记分牌上。 这是一个根本性的变化,应记入彼得Laviolette以及领导的传单上的冰。 如果他们继续他们的重点(同时管理来保持健康),并继续得到体面的干扰球飞行物不会是一个人要向下伸展,进入季后赛的球队。
不利的一面是三支球队没有发挥出色,似乎没有可能很快扭转乾坤,这些球队是卡罗来纳飓风(没有多少对他们说,他们在各方面都令人难堪的坏),圣路易斯蓝色和哥伦布蓝夹克。 这三支球队的季后赛去年和期待的大事情,今年,但至今都以失败告终。 圣路易斯可能是这些球队中,最有趣的,因为他们实际上有一个很好的客场战绩在12-5-4,但在家里6-14-3是可怕的。 传统的曲棍球,它是一少“更容易”玩游戏的道路上,因为球员担心的获取和保护导线,而不是娱乐球迷,但在圣路易斯的情况下,它是非常极端的。 他们的新教练或许可以激发他们把他们的客场比赛打成了一些额外的胜家,但目前他们的主场表现和作为一个结果,尴尬的总战绩。 圣路易斯是太有才华的人是在这样一个大洞,这一点在本赛季。
哥伦布的发生对他们是什么很多人担心可能之前的赛季,那是,史蒂夫·梅森将不成为能够到发挥了水平,他做了去年和球队将受到作为一个结果,那已来,以修成正果。 梅森的GAA是一种可悲的3.31,同时有大量的怪去的团队是建立在主要依靠梅森晚上和夜间的防守在他面前。 也许将这么多怪梅森,但它是不公平的,是在哥伦布的权力,是具有结构化的团队这样的情况。 这并不是说他们的计划一直是有梅森是球队的基石,但去年他的表现如何管理似乎做出决定,他们将让他那件,以确保他们的防守并没有。 因此,无论的梅森(或加龙)步骤或,哥伦布将是一个失败的事业,直到他们得到更好的防守队员和防守前锋。
不属于技巧的恶魔
不要被愚弄的新泽西魔鬼队通过本赛季的第34场比赛的成功。 当然,他们在东方的第一名(匹兹堡企鹅在一个tie-breaker),但它不是一个指示的东西来新泽西季后赛到来的时候。 我们必须给他们的功劳归于是由于,因为他们实际上是排在首位马丁Bordeur他的惊人的自我赢得比赛后,游戏与喜欢的扎克·帕里斯,杰米·蓝根博,特拉维斯扎亚茨,和布赖恩·罗尔斯顿在令人难以置信的发挥他的面前。 尽管它们的恒星播放,说明它们记录的问题,在最近几年已经开始在新泽西州的季后赛,并坦率地说,本赛季将是没有什么不同。 从物流的角度看出来的锁定规则的改变大大伤害了鬼子的打法,因为他们获益良多离合,抓住规则的改变,这是一个主要的目标。 从这个意义上说,这使得它更难鬼子来赢得比赛,因为它把更多的压力,他们更多的得分往往比设法保护他们可能会定居在以往所做的一球领先。 不仅如此,从的角度来看,更多的无形的东西是事实,现在球队不仅有一点点新泽西州,在过去缺乏一个战术优势,但他们也有更大的希望。
毫无疑问,恶魔天赋是联盟最好的球员之一,但较小的球队对决对他们来季后赛新泽西州的打法不壁球任何一个较小的团队希望能够击败他们。 相反,由试图保护小线索,其他球队开始相信他们可以击败新泽西州。 作为一个结果,这样的团队成长产生更好的在冰上玩的信心,并最终消除在季后赛新泽西州。 去年是一个很好的例子是,所有应有的尊重卡罗来纳州,他们是不是在同一水平上天资聪明,新泽西州,但他们能够为整个系列,只是不停徘徊,直到最后卡罗来纳州在季后赛中被驱逐的魔鬼。 在对比的是,由波士顿后,卡罗来纳州有类似的情况下,卡罗莱纳州去扮演一个非常有才华的企鹅队能得分卡罗来纳州被完全压制之后,在季后赛横扫出局。 直到新泽西想出一个办法,把球队在赛季后粉碎他们将提前一轮退出周期将无限期地继续下去,今年也不例外。
史蒂文斯输出,OVIE脏了,的军刀悄悄地干草
很多覆盖,让我们开始吧。
1。 费城飞人解雇了约翰·史蒂文斯后四个赛季中,他经历了相当多的成功。 在2006-2007赛季的传单是可怕和史蒂文斯那个赛季的东部决赛,他们被淘汰的企鹅领先的飞行物。 当然上赛季史蒂文斯的传单再次在季后赛中再次看到他们的跨州的对手,消除他们在季后赛中。 当然,没有什么好担心失去,但并没有真正的耻辱,在季后赛淘汰的最好的,并最终在联赛中最好的球队之一。 因此,本赛季至今的传单一直表现平平,但难以走出季后赛的争夺现任第 13 届东方,但它的手在比赛中每队在它前面的,如果它赢得那些比赛中手一个季后赛席位将属于飞行物。 本赛季初换帅,我被迫吃我的话的赛季中执教的变化,去年的匹兹堡做出了换帅然后去赢得斯坦利杯,但我不认为会发生什么,还有待观察它将使一个位的差异费城。 有相当数量的人才团队和光芒刚玉粉的目标已经很不错了,但飞行物的问题更专注于试图冰鞋有得一拼,而不是一场冰球比赛。 身体打球其实是重要的,这是一个显着一块向着成为一支总冠军球队,但不守纪律是胜利的心脏的一把匕首。 他们也有玩的人是在网前更好的防御,因为在他们最后的9场比赛中,他们至少有三个目标,在七个不同的场合。 新的教练彼得Laviolette,但飞行物没有违法,他们是谁,所以我不认为本赛季将去任何不同,他会比史蒂文斯。 (请参阅下面的链接,我的季前赛思想的传单http://sportsroids.com/2009/09/27/eastern-conference-outlook/上)
2。 像我一样喜欢看亚历奥韦奇金发挥他真的是一个肮脏的球员为自己的名字。 北美所有看到他的膝盖,上,膝盖击中谢尔盖Gonchar是去年的第二轮季后赛系列,和现在奥韦奇金曾担任暂停做同样的事情飓风防守队员蒂姆·格里森(奥韦奇金也持续的伤害,同样的发挥)。 还有其他一些问题的戏剧奥韦奇金的纪录,如果他们继续建立它会玷污了他的形象。 在联赛中没有其他球员可以影响比赛比奥韦奇金与他的令人难以置信的进攻存在,但曲棍球是一种游戏的荣誉和奥韦奇金继续他的肮脏的发挥,他将不得不回答一些非常强硬的家伙,谁也不会悄悄地走。 所以,如果我是上限教练布鲁斯·布德罗我清楚地奥韦奇金能够更好地控制自己,并停止与肮脏的发挥,否则上限问鼎总冠军将受到严重威胁。
3。 卡罗来纳州飓风在14次尝试得到了他们本赛季的客场首胜击败卫冕冠军企鹅。 飓风为什么如此糟糕的是一个headscratcher,但我给他们一个讽刺的祝贺他们的第一个客场胜利的一年。 下面是更多的路胜...反正至少一个或多个。
4。 尽管最近失去了两个布法罗军刀正悄悄地在一排有一个非常成功的赛季令人难以置信的发挥瑞安米勒。 任何时候你的netminder发布一个令人难以置信的1.90 GAA你很可能要赢了很多比赛。 但是,尽管数量如此庞大米勒不能去管它,因此到目前为止,他肯定是不。 蒂姆·康诺利和德里克 - 罗伊的带领下,与边锋杰森Pominville和托马斯·瓦涅克也不甘落后分别为19和18分21分(6个进球15次助攻,每个)。 水牛是不是一个华而不实的球队,但他们都非常一致,提前发现自己的记分牌上,来结束的比赛中,这是最重要的事情。 发挥他们的力量是不尽如人意,把他们21“最好的”,但他们在联赛中对抗第三 ,是联盟最好的球员 ,这是非常重要的/令人印象深刻,这也有助于马刀留出了带罚杀禁区。 马刀非常好,去年前被粉碎舒展奔跑在受到伤病困扰,但到目前为止,这个团队比去年更好,如果他们保持了东需要在另行通知前,因为你知道它,你会晃动手中的马刀,在下一回合祝愿他们好运。
有必要多说,但它必须等待下一次...
PS每个人都作出评论,谢谢你这么多,请继续这样做。 他们中的许多人还没有被发布到网站(正如您可能已经注意到了),但我没有控制时,那些被发布,所以请保留意见,因为他们不久将公布。 谢谢大家。
超水平发挥和表现不佳的球队
的谚语“attaboy”纽约岛民。 有相当数量的动荡困扰着球队落冰对他们的未来,他们没有最好的团队和人并不非常期待。 尽管所有的岛民是在中间的四连胜,他们和他们的球迷应该感到非常兴奋。 他们不仅赢得了四位一排,但他们击败优秀的球队在这个过程中,包括上周六5-0大胜布法罗军刀。 约翰·塔瓦雷斯当然是伟大的,到目前为止,他的工作进展顺利,但他也有帮助德韦恩Roloson和马蒂·比灵斯(尽管欠佳记录将固体干扰球的陪同下,从喜欢马特Moulson和凯尔Okposo的一些好的号码)。 一个季后赛席位是不太可能,在不久的将来群岛,但正如我以前写的(见),这支球队在正确的方向在冰上玩,有一个非常光明的未来。
另一个“attaboy”的科罗拉多雪崩是在西部排在首位,这是大家在冰球世界的冲击。 AVS是一个团队的大多是年轻人,看似在玩,每场比赛都与房子的钱,因为他们似乎不知道,他们不应该有任何好。 也许在球队最上面一层是赛季初的MVP候选人(是的,我说了吧)克雷格安德森的表现。 安德森打了科罗拉多州的所有15个游戏发布惊人的数字,包括.936保存百分比和2.11目标反对平均。 这是不可能的AVS能保持这种持续整个赛季,但现在在美国科罗拉多州的球迷应该享受之上,从第一天开始,他们已经是一个伟大的冰球城市和应得的。
的一大“TISK TISK”蒂姆·托马斯的波士顿熊人是不是在玩,都喜欢Vezina战利品冠军卫冕。 多年来人们担心托马斯的风格,因为它是一种自由为目的的,导致他花费了大量的时间在小联盟。 去年和像差? 也许吧,但如果他没有得到熊很可能会去寻找一个替代,因为今年的预期是非常高的波士顿。 熊的早期斗争当然不属于纯粹托马斯但如果球队未能走出谷底,他将是一件容易的替罪羊。
另一个主要的“TISK-TISK”卡罗来纳州飓风。 去年,他们本质上是相同的团队(如果不是更好的)在去年达到了决赛,而今年他们通过13场比赛有7分...说的够多了。
Eastern Conference Outlook
由于小时的临近和的puckheads继续垂涎三尺的挑逗,这是曲棍球场季前赛,它时间补充的冰球巨星开始前的开胃菜。
东部赛区前瞻:
我就开始预测我认为将使它的季后赛(没有特别的顺序),然后我们将看看至少简单地在各队的看台。 因此,这里的八支球队在没有特定的顺序:
匹兹堡企鹅队(Pittsburgh Penguins),纽约流浪者队(卡罗来纳飓风?),新泽西魔鬼队,费城飞鸟,波士顿棕熊队,蒙特利尔加拿大人队,布法罗军刀,和首都华盛顿。
匹兹堡企鹅应该是我的最爱,进入新赛季,因为他们的球队,他们有很多相同的香榭丽舍大街,直到别人赢得冠军。 他们的确是失去罗布Scuderi动手,但总体来说,你有喜欢他们的机会来捍卫自己的会议标题。
纽约流浪者队失去了斯科特·戈麦斯,但玛丽安Gaborik添加,如果他能保持健康,将增加一个非常坚实的,但不壮观的阵容打分权力。 的流浪者队是很好的事情,即使他们没有得分吨的目标亨里克,Lundqvist将让他们在大多数游戏中,将偷几个,并且将整体让他们有机会赢得比赛他们都介入。有机会赢得每一场比赛实际上没有取得然而,这就是Gaborik的他们将是重要的。 如果Gaborik保持健康,他的得分足够的目标得到他们足够的积分,让他们进入季后赛。 在事件Gaborik不受伤,将离开纽约,在外面看,开门的卡罗来纳州飓风潜入了一个季后赛席位。 卡罗来纳州也是一个坚实的团队,但凸轮病区不能独自做到这一点,他们将不能够依靠尤西Jokkinen的方式,他在季后赛中发挥全年。 但是,如果任何一支球队在(即格拉斯哥流浪者)脱落,打开门猎犬。 无论哪种方式,既不团队将是一个严重的斯坦利杯竞争者。
新泽西恶魔使雅克·勒梅尔队长船舶窜自己内心的1995年。 一切都没有改变自1995年以来的恶魔,因此,他们可以继续他们的新,老教练就像一个运转良好的机器。 新泽西州是一个很有系统的团队,所以与马丁Brodeur打后面的系统,你有铅笔进入季后赛,总冠军的竞争者。 有些球员已经改变,因为上赛季的第一轮就被淘汰到卡罗来纳州,但它并不重要,有条不紊的魔将再次在季后赛中。
在每一个过去的两年中,费城飞人已经把在冰面上非常优秀的球队,但遇到一列货运火车前往形式的匹兹堡企鹅队的决赛中。 传单了更严格的添加老将克里斯Pronger,但可以说是他们的愚蠢目标,这是一个问题,仍然有尚未制定出。 费城去了整个池塘,以吸引光芒刚玉粉北美,所以仍然没有定论的干扰球的问题,是否是固定的(有人可能会争辩说,Emery的态度将导致更多的问题比解决的问题多)。 Bottom line, the Flyers talent will get them to the playoffs and at that point all they'll need is solid (not spectacular) net play to put themselves in a position to win the Stanley Cup.
波士顿的前途是光明的,因为他们的天赋是很多与去年相同。 菲尔·凯瑟尔说波士顿是如何有信心自己的球队从上到下一些选秀权交易。 他们仍然有甜心曼宁的蓝线,他们可以得分在下降的帽子。 There were a lot of questions about Tim Thomas last year and he'll have to answer those same questions again this year. 如果托马斯是能够发挥一贯熊从他们的经验中学习,去年,应该至少达到东部决赛被认为是我的最爱。
The key for the Buffalo Sabres is to stay healthy. 上赛季布法罗是一个明确的季后赛球队,直到伤病袭击,他们像一个击毁的球,他们的季后赛希望轰然倒塌。 So if the Sabres' stars stay healthy they will be a force, if they do not then Buffalo is not a force… it's that simple.
如没有其他得分首都华盛顿。 在进攻区5对5的权力游戏中,他们几乎是不可阻挡的。 上限大大缺乏防守,但肯定成绩足以弥补在一个漫长的赛季。 The biggest downfall of Washington last year was in net and that is their greatest unknown once again. 谢苗·瓦尔拉莫夫肯定是比任何人都可以预期在上赛季的季后赛,但他是长期的答案吗? 毫无疑问,瓦尔拉莫夫有天赋,但他还年轻,而年轻的来成长的烦恼,每一个球员经验。 如果瓦尔拉莫夫快速增长,那么我们有理由相信上限可以赢得一切,但如果他没有,那么它的球迷DC将“破坏红”的季后赛第二轮,并没有进一步的。
蒙特利尔加拿大人队在休赛期做了三个非常好的事情:让科瓦廖夫去,拿起布赖恩Gionta和斯科特·戈麦斯,并摆脱了科瓦廖夫(我已经提及)。 Alexi Kovalev is a very talented player but he was too inconsistent and caused too much drama in a place that creates enough drama on its own. Gionta和戈麦斯提供稳定的领导者在冰面上,可以放点记分牌上。 在新泽西州的这两名球员花费的时间,所以每一个知道如何发挥作用完美。 Carey价格只要能保住自己的信心和球迷给本队的机会,他们可以是非常危险的。
至于其余的会议,很少有谈论。 纽约岛民清楚地重建,所以最好任何人都可以从他们的希望是,约翰·塔瓦雷斯和公司提高从游戏到游戏。 In my estimation the Islanders have far more problems off the ice (on the business end) than they do on it. The isles know they are rebuilding and are taking steps toward becoming a good team in time. 这是相反的闪电,鸫鸟,参议员,枫叶,和豹。
坦帕湾有大量的人才,但没有与去年并没有一个守门员可以在任何地方。 亚特兰大只是普通的坏,可能不会在所有的可能性非常改善。 Ottawa keeps changing coaches, do not gel as a team, have lost one of their best players in Dany Heatley, and decided that adding Kovalev was the best way to stabilize/improve their team (very dumb). 多伦多不能决定他们是否要尝试赢得现在或未来的建设。 去年,他们有足够的人才留在顶部的非季后赛球队最多的一年,这一年里,他们是在大约相同的点。 最后是佛罗里达豹没有一个整个大量的人才(在失去bouwmeester),并没有得到多少球迷的支持,这使得一个非常糟糕的情况。
因此,概括地说东(或不相信)。 调西部预览,以及我的斯坦利杯总决赛的选秀权,并赢得下一次。
勒梅尔返回到魔
在手中的卡罗来纳州飓风后,一个令人震惊和失望的第一轮就被淘汰的新泽西魔鬼队的教练正在寻找布伦特萨特之后辞职。 新泽西州的搜索已经走到了尽头,名称将是红魔球迷所熟悉的,无处不在的雅克·勒梅尔第一次离开后,球队在1998年重新雇用。 勒梅尔是那里的开始了新的新泽西州荣耀天带领他们到他们的第一个斯坦利杯称号,1995年这来了大约完善的中立区陷阱这在很多的方法有助于在变化的规则,因为NHL的回报率从锁定2004-05。 虽然后来获得新泽西杯没有勒梅尔(2000年和2003年),他们没有返回的赢家圈从那时起,尽管有相当数量的常规赛的成功。
我认为这是不可能的雅克·勒梅尔将能够推动新泽西上方,因为游戏规则已经改变多少。 虽然中立区的陷阱仍然是一个有效的策略,以赢得总冠军,赢得了很多比赛,你需要一个出色的防守和得分平衡。 随着变化的游戏,允许其开拓更多(少捂着抢夺)阻碍,产生了巨大的成功的鬼子在20世纪90年代中期,在新千年的前锁定部分的一部分。 有这样一个守门员马丁Brodeur肯定有很多缺点,但,只推新泽西州至今在正确的方向,但不太上方。 的恶魔并没有作出任何大门票淡季收购,如果他们想争夺斯坦利杯,他们可能会需要另一个大的得分手一起去扎克 - 帕里斯的45个目标和94个整体点。 其他球员帕特里克·埃利亚斯和杰米·蓝根博等都是很好的球员,但他们是不是得分最高的前锋,除非其中的一个家伙在我的判断或鬼子的另一大得分手,雅克·勒梅尔将不能够推动新泽西州在上面。
红翼队的的企鹅Steamroll走向复赛
游戏三,游戏后有各自的打击了胜匹兹堡企鹅队和底特律红翼队的每一个客场取胜的重演去年的决赛。 两支球队看起来非常令人印象深刻,因为他们的明星和角色球员照在相当片面的胜利。 企鹅弯曲一点点更多的肌肉,因为表现稳健,凸轮病区,其余的球队基本上没有什么帮助。 当然有人可能会说,游戏是接近6-2得分,但沃德仍然需要得到赢得了很多的家伙在他面前,他没有。 另一方面,休特在芝加哥获得了他的第一本赛季后开始的翅膀飙升至早期的3-1领先,并且永不回头被证明是一场灾难。 因此眼下两支球队看起来是在控制,虽然这两个系列是结束了,决赛复赛是迫在眉睫。 因此,我们希望看到不同的时候? 企鹅当然希望得到一个更好的开始,比上一次和他们一年的经验中,肯定会帮助。 这不只是失去了去年在总决赛中,但也有被排挤在常规赛(几乎没有为季后赛资格),并在季后赛的边缘,当他们2-0华盛顿。 底特律只需要做什么,他们一直在做,他们将被罚款。 当然,故事情节看是圣母玛丽亚的Hossa他的老东家,他就离开他们有机会赢得斯坦利杯在底特律。 “帝企鹅日记”可以证明他犯了一个错误离开红翼或将再次证明自己的联赛霸主地位吗? 也许我们会发现,很快就好了!
马尔金的杰作
在东部决赛2场比赛强度比第一次多一点,是非常接近的比赛,比7-4最后表示。 本场比赛的结果为匹兹堡一个2-0领先,但上周四晚的大故事是戏剧的叶夫根马尔金。 匹兹堡超级巨星接管了比赛,第三期在一排攻入两球,包括一个华丽的反手顶级的目标在卡罗来纳州的区右侧的脸离深,打破了这个原本紧张的比赛中,大开。 这一切都是分开的超级巨星从其他伟大的球员,不仅马尔金打破了游戏中,他偷了气势夺几乎完全从卡罗来纳州,并取得了他的第三个目标,无助的,以一种不可思议的方式。 没有什么应该被带走,其余的团队,其中包括马克 - 安德烈·弗勒里显得有点慌乱早期,但一些关键扑救,在比赛结束,但这个夜晚属于叶夫根马尔金使凸轮病区看人类。 现在的企鹅有机会以3-0领先系列游戏三队转移到罗利扼杀卡罗莱纳州。 匹兹堡是没有可能采取的系列,在这一点上,作为猎犬弹性漫长的赛季,“帝企鹅日记”赢得了上一轮下降后2-0华盛顿是理所当然的。 上周六晚的球迷将摇摆RBC中心和猎犬不会消失,不战而屈人。
笔猎犬战东部会议标题
在东部决赛开始明晚之间的卫冕东部联盟冠军匹兹堡企鹅队最后赢得斯坦利杯的东卡罗来纳州飓风。 这两支球队可能没有足够的自然竞争匹兹堡和华盛顿,但有很多让我们。 最值得注意的是,把对兄弟约旦斯塔尔(匹兹堡)的埃里克·斯塔尔(州),第一次在季后赛中的兄弟姐妹竞争。 虽然毫无疑问,最崇高的敬意之间的兄弟任何人有兄弟姐妹的人都知道,没有什么像跳动的兄弟姐妹,并声称吹牛的权利在家庭中。 也有匹兹堡连接,飓风助理教练罗恩·弗朗西斯已经为他赢得了两个斯坦利杯冠军,在1991年和1992年的企鹅。 但是,为每个队的事实是,这一系列的上场机会的斯坦利杯的最佳动力! 没有专业曲棍球运动员需要比任何更多的动力。 因此,让我们来看看在每一个团队,他们各自的键的胜利,我的预测,这个系列会变成。 [4-4在第一轮后的sportsroids.com预测在7-5和希望改善!
卡罗来纳飓风仅三年,从吊装的斯坦利杯,仍然有一些在2009年的版本,这是一个非常宝贵的资产从2006年的团队成员。 该组最重要的是康恩斯迈思的守门员凸轮病区。 沃德一直卡罗来纳州的成功的关键一年之久,他一直是他们的季后赛资格的原因,为什么他们能够提前新泽西州和波士顿,谁许多人进入了总决赛,两队过去。 为了卡罗莱纳州有任何机会战胜匹兹堡凸轮病区必须是一流的。 卡罗来纳州根本没有火力outmuscle匹兹堡在进攻大战中,是非常重要的凸轮病区关闭他们。 除了从病区飓风将利用自己的速度和砂砾取得胜利。 猎犬不有一大堆的大小,因此,他们将不得不使用自己的速度来创造得分机会,并确保他们获得最佳的性能得分埃里克·斯塔尔和Jussi约基宁只是因为他们有迄今为止在这些季后赛。 卡罗来纳州也将需要使用他们的速度是坚韧不拔的低两个区域,第一个松散的的冰球在中立区,在防守区。 但是即使卡罗莱纳州的所有,如果凸轮病区是不是几乎是完美的,他们仍然不会赢。
匹兹堡的关键? 惊喜惊喜,它的凸轮病区! 我们知道上存在的企鹅,他们的能力得到二次得分的人都过线,明星的影响力。 一般来说企鹅只需要继续打球的方式,他们已经打了整个季后赛,还需要有弗勒里返回的形式,他是在对费城飞人。 人们可以谈论战略从企鹅的前瞻性整天长,但底线是,他们需要得到凸轮病区。 ,如果匹兹堡使凸轮病区显得人,他们会提前在该系列有点麻烦,如果他们不这样做,该系列将很长的路要走,匹兹堡开始感到沮丧,你知道它之前,将前往北卡罗来纳州的斯坦利杯总决赛。 尽管如此,除非有重大的伤害,我不认为卡罗来纳州与匹兹堡匹配,虽然比赛会很接近,这将是匹兹堡前进的斯坦利杯总决赛五场比赛中击败卡罗来纳州。 就这样,第二,这将是匹兹堡企鹅队在底特律红翼队的权利葫芦斯坦利杯。
NHL第二回合一种享受所有
第二回合来到周四收盘晚上和一个第二轮方式。 随着比赛七和一个令人难以置信的娱乐游戏系列三大系列NHL应保持其头高今晚。 有两个令人难以置信的比赛七场演出达到了高潮,赢得了一场比赛7加班猎犬在熊底特律/阿纳海姆和波士顿/北卡罗来纳州锦上添花。 像我一样热爱曲棍球,它已下降到很多人的青睐,因为在2004年停工,但是这一轮已经把NHL回到国家地图。 休闲球迷调整和基地持续增长的收视率直线上升的结果。 体育迷全线都湿透了许多不希望的阶段,是一个令人失望的决赛第二轮的每一刻。 但随着赌注越来越高,因为我们移动到第三轮似乎不大可能,这样的事情会发生。 的时间会在很短的时间,期待下一轮,但现在是反映在第二轮的时间和欣赏我们所看到的。
的笔和上限偷走了头条新闻,大量的明星电力的的新秀netminder西缅瓦尔拉莫夫,和6个令人难以置信的有趣的游戏,包括三个加时赛的比赛,每场比赛至少一个领导变革,令人难以置信的故事。 笔和上限,不仅把一个伟大的演出,但他们一个竞争进一步升级,在未来几年内,这将是耸人听闻。 在东部第二轮系列几乎没有戏剧量的上限,直到比赛七笔。
熊的手杖给我们的一切希望摆脱一场比赛7。 每队有一个与熊早期的1-0领先之前卡罗莱纳州争夺净额2只看到一排波士顿加班率先在游戏中的一个点。 在加时赛中,有丰富扼杀了巨大的干扰球,沃德和托马斯的机会。 之类的游戏似乎是注定的双加时斯科特沃克埋下了反弹背后蒂姆 - 托马斯的得分职业生涯第一次季后赛的目标...和男孩什么时间去做。
在西方的头条新闻是最后两个斯坦利杯冠军在阿纳海姆和底特律之间的战斗。 尽管阿纳海姆种子第八很多人觉得鸭子有机会收起了卫冕冠军。 这两支球队作战,直到该系列游戏的游戏终于达到了高潮在比赛七去的方式,其余的系列。 两个守门员,一个伟大的演出结合了很多沉重的击球和大量的戏剧在一个点或另一个勾选在裁判的两支球队。 然而在最后的卫冕冠军,显示了他们的砂砾系列制胜一球,第三期剩余的三分钟得分。
最后,我们会提到罗伯托Luongo和高飞扬温哥华加人队的新贵黑鹰放好。 他们在各自的第一轮系列老鹰队,加人队前往截然不同的道路。 温哥华压倒圣路易斯,芝加哥上阵收起拍着但弹性卡尔加里火焰队有很高的期望,其结果是许多人认为经验丰富的加人将能够处理的不错,但年轻的黑鹰队的“时间还在后头。“在芝加哥的球迷和球员的人都有着不同的计划,作为年轻球员发挥每场比赛,就像他们一直承受早期线索之前,由温哥华,并最终破坏罗伯托Luongo的砖墙,是通过推进会议决赛。
也许有最好的季后赛轮在任何的运动之一,我们还是去了两轮。 你在决赛大家!
熊猎犬比赛七...你为什么要关注?
然而,另一个系列的第七场后的4-1大胜波士顿卡罗莱纳州周二晚上在东部的约束。 这一系列不同的是钢笔帽系列,但是,没有任何戏剧准的休闲风扇。 每一个守门员在一些比赛中一直是热的,而另一个是热的人,但从来没有在同一时间,除了从3-2加时险胜由卡罗来纳州三在游戏中有没有写。 也许最令人兴奋的系列一般是卡罗来纳州,花了3-1的领先优势看似高空飞行的头号种子熊,有些人认为我的巡航进入决赛。 The Canes certainly showed their worth having taken a 3-1 lead over the mighty Bruins, a Bruins team that has since flexed its muscle to force game seven. So why should anybody watch the Bruins-Canes finale Thursday night? Because both teams will be pressing hard, the energy from the fans will be high and you better believe both netminders will be fired up and on their respective games. Because Boston could be yet another one seed that fails to reach the finals and be eliminated by a sixth seeded team to boot. Because no matter how good the game is Thursday night the Bruins fans will not be satisfied and although they may applaud their team at the game's conclusion they will NOT be so kind in the time to follow. The Boston sports teams have been so successful in recent years that the Bruins losing will be quite gratifying for follows of sports generally outside of New England. But if none of that appeals to you then there's always the fact that game sevens generally consists of some of the best hockey you'll ever see so if you pass on this one you'll be kicking yourself for some time to come.
NHL Round Two Extremely Entertaining
May 10, 2009 by Big Tony · 2 Comments
Round two of the playoffs has been the best round of the post-season by far to this point and the excitement continues to build. Let's take a brief look at each series up to this point.
Eastern Conference:
3。 华盛顿首都队VS 4。 匹兹堡企鹅队(Pittsburgh Penguins)
This has been the keynote series since the second round draw came out and it has not disappointed. Four of the five games have been decided by one goal and two were decided in overtime. The big stars Ovechkin and Crosby have stepped up to the plate and have excelled in the spotlight as all of North America looks on. There has also been plenty of drama to boot with both sides making complaints about the officiating at one point or another and Ovechkin hitting Sergei Gonchar knee-on-knee which has created plenty of controversy across the airwaves. The series has been the perfect showcase for the NHL as hardcore and casual fans alike tune in and are NOT disappointed. As of the writing of this article the Penguins have taken a 3-2 series lead after dropping the first to in Washington. Pittsburgh finally got some secondary scoring in game five and it proved to be the difference between the two teams as the big stars continue to cancel each other out. Penguin fans would love for this series to finish in six, but for the rest of the world how could this series culminate any better than if it comes down to game seven on Wednesday at Verizon Center?
1。 Boston Bruins VS 6. Carolina Hurricanes
For many this has been the shocker of the three Conference Semi-finals as the high-powered Bruins were seemingly going to steam roll the Hurricanes right into the Conference finals. However, since the end of game one it has been all Carolina. Cam Ward, Eric Staal and Jussi Jokinen have been unbelievable leading the Canes to an unlikely 3-1 series lead. The difference in the series comes down to Carolina's best players performing at the highest level while the Bruins have not been able to rely on their studs as much as they have all year. Zdano Chara in particular has not been the same since game one where he shut down Eric Staal. For the Bruins to get back into the series they have to better utilize their size to create offense and continue to put pressure on Cam Ward. Boston cannot win by simply getting frustrated when Ward plays well and by trying to fall back into their defensive style when they're only up by one or when the game is tied, playing not to lose rather than to win. There is a lot of speed on the Canes and the Bruins need to neutralize that speed with some pace of their own. But don't think this is a fluke because the Canes have plenty of talent and have been to the promised land before winning the Cup in 2006.
西部联盟:
2。 Detroit Red Wings VS 8. 阿纳海姆鸭子
Jonas Hiller had been playing extremely well until Thursday night when he was pulled for veteran netminder JS Giguere. Overall the Ducks have played incredibly well making use of their size and skill to stick with the same attributes as Detroit. Much has been written about this series on sportsroids in recent days which you can see by clicking HERE . The only difference at this point is that whoever plays in net for Anaheim has to be almost flawless while the rest of the Ducks do what they've been doing all along. Detroit will probably end up winning this series but the Ducks have show a ton of grit which has made for a very entertaining and suspenseful series.
3。 Vancouver Canucks VS 4. 芝加哥黑鹰队
The Chicago Blackhawks have shown that they are not simply content with making it to the second round of the playoffs and that they feel they have a chance to go much further with their team's make-up. With the stars that Chicago has there's no reason to believe that they can't get into the Conference Finals and maybe beyond that. The Canucks on the other hand have needed to rely way too much on Roberto Luongo to win games for them and they are playing on barrowed time if they keep that up. As this article is being written the Canucks have a 2-1 lead in the second period after finally getting a goal from Mats Sundin. Guys like Sundin, Kesler, the Sedin twins and Burrows have to play at the highest level possible every minute of every game in order for the Canucks to get beyond just round two. Luongo alone can only carry them but so far. Regardless of the outcome however the series has been quite entertaining (much like the other three) and perhaps they will treat us to a game seven which every fan loves.
Dream Match-Up Highlights Round Two
April 28, 2009 by Big Tony · Leave a Comment
Round one could not have gone out on a better note with two game seven's ( Devils-Hurricanes and Caps-Rangers ) that did not disappoint in drama and excitement. I couldn't possibly say anything to sum the two games that are surely both instant classics; as a result we'll just turn to round two now that we know the match-ups. So far the sportsroids predictions have yielded a 4-4 record which I'll be looking to improve upon in round two.
Eastern Conference:
1。 Boston Bruins vs. 6. 卡罗来纳飓风
The Bruins breezed through the first round sweeping the hated rival Canadiens right out of the playoffs. Despite picking Montreal to win (in the interest of not flip-flopping from my preseason Eastern Conference Champ) I had serious doubts about their performance down the stretch and how they would fair in the playoffs and sure enough they laid an egg. Although Boston swept the series the lame duck Canadiens probably would have made any team look like juggernauts. Nevertheless, the Bruins are very well rested and do have a lot of fire power, enough to have swept the season series from the Hurricanes anyway (not to mention the top seed in the East). So far Tim Thomas has continued his stellar play despite the doubts surrounding his style of play and his lack of consistent success in his career before this year. In front of Thomas are the likes of Zdano Chara who has been unbelievable for the Bruins all year and it continued in round one. Pair Chara's dominance at the blue line with a very strong core of forwards and the Bruins have all the makings of what could be a very special playoff run.
Opposite the Bruins are the Carolina Hurricanes who are very much a different team today from the one Boston saw in the regular season. 瑞安 Whitney, Chad LaRose, and Eric Staal have played incredibly well thus far in the post-season each with at least five points against the best goalie in the game today in Martin Brodeur. The Canes also have a world class netminer of their own in Cam Ward who came up huge for them all season and certainly in the playoffs keeping them in game seven in particular. This team has a lot going for it on the ice with their talent but also their experience with key members from their Stanley Cup winning team of a few years ago still around. So what can we expect from this series? Well the goaltending for both will most likely be stellar but beyond that the comparisons end. Boston is more of a big bruiser type club that loves to slug it out and play a hard hitting, defensive type game. Whereas the Canes are a smaller, quicker club who will generate a lot of offense and as a result rely heavily on Ward defensively. Carolina is on an emotional high at the moment by they just finished a grueling back-and-forth seven games with New Jersey. The Canes experience will keep them in the series but the Bruins will simply out class the Canes and send them packing in six.
3。 Washington Capitals vs. 4. 匹兹堡企鹅队(Pittsburgh Penguins)
From one rivalry to another for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they plan to travel to Washington not long after deposing of the much hated Philadelphia Flyers in six. This is certainly the dream match-up for hardcore and casual hockey fans alike with both teams possessing an enormous amount of talent—namely Malkin and Crosby for Pittsburgh and Ovechkin and Semin for Washington among many others for both. So what can we expect from this series? Well the Caps took the season series from the Penguins 3-1 but three of the four contests were very close and filled with lots of intensity. The spotlight will certainly be on the Ovechkin/Crosby rivalry but those two alone will not determine the series. Both teams are going to need to get a lot out of their third and fourth lines as well as goaltenders. The top players for both teams will in all likelihood neutralize one another as they match up pretty well player for player both up front and on the blueline. So we turn to the third liners and it's the Penguins who have the advantage in that regard as they are the deeper team by far. Guys like Tyler Kennedy and Jordan Staal create a lot of energy for the Penguins as third liners and have been known to generate a lot of offensive zone action and that Caps simply don't have an answer for them. Washington had the advantage in the “toughness”category before Donald Brashear was suspended for six games and will not be able to play for Washington until game six of this series if there is one. There will certainly be a lot of up and down play in this series with a lot of passion coming from both teams and their fans. The buildings will be rocking, the media will be buzzing, and the tension/excitement amongst all parties involved should make this one of the best series of the playoffs. In the end the Penguins depth advantage will lead them to a six game series victory over the high flying Capitals.
Tune in next time (Thursday) for a preview of the Western Conference Semis.
Devils-Canes Series Fallen Upon Blind Eyes
April 27, 2009 by Big Tony · Leave a Comment
I know the networks in the US want to sell the stars—ie Crosby, Ovechkin—to increase ratings but sometimes you have to be confident in the product on the ice no matter who is playing. I am referring to the fact that only ONE game of the New Jersey-Carolina series (of the six played so far) has been on national TV and it has been the most competitive series in the east's first round. Two games went to overtime with each team winning the contest in the other's house. Another game ended on a last second shot vaulting the Canes to a 4-3 win with only 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock. Martin Brodeur and Cam Ward have been phenomenal all series long and even managed to make a 1-0 game one of the most exciting contests any sports fan would ever want to see. Granted, not every game can be broadcast nationally but it would be a lot easier if NBC were to step up and televise games on weekdays! *gasp* Either way it's a shame that such good hockey has gone unnoticed by a lot of hockey fans both serious and casual because it simply hasn't been on TV unless you have the center ice package. Stop with all the gimmicks and use a little common sense, no matter who is invovled in a particular contest if the quality of the game play is high you better believe people will flock to their television sets. So NBC stop bullying hockey around like it's the little brother of pro sports and realize it is back and better than ever… if you show the games people WILL watch!
Canes Beat Buzzer; Fleury Steals Show
What an incredible night for Marc-Andre Fleury in Philadelphia as he helped the Pittsburgh Penguins get a strangle hold on that series. Not to be outdone however where the Canes and Devils who played a game that had quite an ending Tuesday night and that's where we'll start.
Coming into Tuesday's game the Devils and Canes had traded overtime wins on the other team's home ice and despite New Jersey's dominating game one performance this looks like it can be quite a series. Carolina came out of the gates blazing building a 3-0 lead that was kept from getting worse by Martin Brodeur's stellar play. The Devils were dominated for 39 minutes 30 seconds until Brian Gionta netted New Jersey's first goal as the second period came to a close ripping the momentum from Carolina's grasp. In the first nine minutes of the third period the Devils road the momentum into the net twice more to tie the game at three and looked to have taken control of game four. As the third period came to a close the contest looked destined for overtime where by all accounts the Devils would have held a marked advantage; NOT SO FAST! With time winding down in the third the Canes blast a shot from the blue-line that clips a skate in front and gets by Brodeur with only .2 seconds remaining! The goal was one of the most incredible plays in playoff history and perhaps in all of hockey. Buzzer beaters are a common occurrence in basketball but certainly not in hockey. For those of us who were able to catch the game witnessed history in the making. There really is no such thing as a bad shot in the playoffs, just ask the Carolina Hurricanes. The series is now tied at two and the story will just keep getting better.
Meanwhile in Philadelphia, Penguins netminder Marc-Andre Fleury was frustrating tens of thousands of Flyer fans by turning in one of the best performances of this young playoff season. After Crosby quieted the crowd by getting the Penguins on the board first Fleury did his part in keeping them silent for most of the rest of the game. Fleury was by far the best penalty killer for Pittsburgh who seemed to give the Flyers every chance in the world to allow Philly back into the game by taking Penalty after Penalty. But every chance Philly got was turned away by the absolute brilliance of Fleury. The final scored ended up being 3-1 Penguins but if not for Fleury the Penguins may very well have lost the game 5-3. Although he had some confidence issues this year the Penguins goaltender always seems to show up when the game is most important. Take note ladies and gentlemen because we may be witnessing the early stages of what could be a Conn Smythe Trophy candidate come early June. Pittsburgh now has a commanding 3-1 lead over the Flyers heading back to the Steel City for game five and a potential close out night. If the handshake line is indeed formed on Thursday night Flyers fans can address their complaints to Marc-Andre Fleury
Stanley Cup Playoffs Make Grand Entrance
Well the playoffs are now in full swing as every series will have played two games by the end of Saturday. So let's take a look and how the respective series are unfolding:
东部联盟
1。 Boston Bruins VS 8.Montreal Canadiens
The final score of game one was about what everybody expected but the level of competition between the two clubs was probably higher than most thought. Boston roared out to a 2-0 lead but the Canadiens battled back to tie the game at two before ultimately going down 4-2. But the rivalry is hot and despite the perception of a major mismatch it doesn't seem likely to be over anytime soon. Game 2 is tonight before the series shifts back to Montreal so we'll see what surprises are in store for us.
2。 华盛顿首都队VS 7。 纽约流浪者队
Jose Theodore didn't make it past the first game as he was benched for rookie back up netminder Simeon Varlamov after Washington's 4-3 loss at home to the Rangers. Again many people felt the Rangers were completely outmatch by the fire power of the Capitals and that the only chance the Rangers had offensively is if Theodore didn't play well. Theodore did not play all that well in game one and the Rangers stole one from Washington but surely things would be different now that Theodore was benched. Varlamov did indeed play very well in net for Washington Saturday afternoon as the Rangers were only able to net one behind the rookie netminder. Unfortunately for the Caps Henrik Lundqvist was up to the challenge and shut Ovechkin and company out. Now the series shifts back to New York with the Rangers having a commanding lead and looking for the sweep. Sportsroids when against the grain in predicting a Rangers win in this series and so far the Rangers have no disappointed.
3。 New Jersey Devils VS Carolina Hurricanes
In a series that many felt would be evenly matched has surely turned out to be that way. After game one the Canes looked to be greatly overmatched; but after Carolina took game two in overtime we've got ourselves a series. The two teams are so similar in every aspect of the game and that makes the series a virtually toss up on paper. Sportsroids said Carolina in five and although that seems unlikely now we are sticking to our guns! Regardless of what happens there is a lot of great hockey ahead of us in this series.
4。 匹兹堡企鹅VS 5。 费城飞人
The Flyers seemed greatly outmatched after game one but game two was an entirely different story. Philly took the earlier lead but Pittsburgh battled back to tie. Then the Flyers took another lead only to see penalties allow the Penguins back into a game seemingly headed to the win column for the Flyers. But take nothing away from Pittsburgh, they dominated game one and although were largely outplayed in game two they took advantage of Flyer mistakes and now have a strangle-hold on the series. Don't expect the Flyers to quit though as they move home to play in front of their rowdy and very unforgiving fans at Wachovia center. Sportsroids told you this would go seven games, and although that is still possible if Pittsburgh wins either of the games in Philadelphia the Flyers will be in serious trouble. The Flyers won't fold but don't expect Pittsburgh to take their proverbial foot off the gas.
西部
1。 圣何塞鲨鱼队VS 8。 阿纳海姆鸭子
People were wondering if the Sharks were finally ready to take it to the next level or if the same old Sharks would show up again in the playoffs. One game does not a series make but for at least one night it's the same old Sharks. Granted, the Ducks are not far removed from a Stanley Cup Championship but the Sharks at least need to score a goal. There is still a long way to go but if San Jose continues to play like they did in game one they will be making an early exit.
2。 Detroit Red Wings VS 7.Columbus Blue Jackets
As I write this post the Red Wings are leading the Blue Jackets 3-0 at the second intermission, this after winning game one 4-1. The Blue Jackets have been a great story all season but the playoffs are too much for them and so they are done.
3。 温哥华加人队VS 6。 圣路易斯蓝调
The Blues were another good story going into the playoffs but after making a pretty good showing in game one they were completely shut down by Vancouver in game two losing 3-0. Like Columbus, St. Louis is an up and coming team with great goaltending but they appear to be severely overmatched by the Vancouver Canucks.
4。 Chicago Blackhawks VS 5. 卡尔加里火焰
Game one of this series was probably the most entertaining game of the first round so far. Game one had everything you could want in a playoff hockey game: lead changes, scrums, great individual battles, fantastic goaltending and overtime! Sure Martin Havlat ended the party early by scoring only 12 seconds into the overtime period but if game one was any indication of how the rest of the series will go then this and the Carolina-New Jersey series have the potential to become classics.
Like you, we at sportsroids will be watching intently to see how the rest of round one unfolds. Enjoy the ride hockey fans!
Sportsroids.com的NHL东部联盟的季后赛预览
季后赛巅峰对决的所有设置和读取推出周三晚上。 要启动的第一个两次季后赛预演,我会看一看在东部联盟的巅峰对决,给你一些注意事项和回升。 这是最好的部分,今年到目前为止让我们得到正确的预览。
1。 Boston Bruins VS 8. 蒙特利尔加拿大人队
那么它的一年后,幼苗已换,但加拿大人和熊上投入更多的汽油燃烧的竞争两者之间的第一轮比赛是一样的。 球队都略有不同,但关键部分已经改变。 Carey价格和蒂姆 - 托马斯都回来了,并带来了他们,他们谁也没有去年的季后赛经验。 每个netminder有绵延的辉煌和不称职系列中的最后一年,根据他们各自的经验带他们应该是比较扎实的净。 Zdano甜心有一个梦幻般的每年的国防,而果渣Savard,大卫Krejci,和其他人表明,你可以得分了很多的目标,克劳德朱利安系统。 蒙特利尔失去了马克STREIT,阿莱克斯·科瓦廖夫和去年的版本,但他们取得了一定的规模和韧性在:瑞安奥伯恩和乔治Laraque(迫切需要的东西,他们上赛季对阵费城)。 There are plenty of other things to consider and we can talk all day and night about this series… so who has the advantage? 熊有一个伟大的赛季,但真正溅射向包括6-1输给一个军刀队在球场上再花月。 蒙特利尔没有最好的赛季结束后,但尽管至今降得这么快,他们是在和什么熊,尽管所有的加拿大人结束了他们想去的地方的可能性。 系列成果:蒙特利尔6。
2。 华盛顿首都队VS 7。 NY Rangers
这是一个战斗的守门员,简单明了。 尽管上限明星的力量把它归结为一个射击比赛时我会采取亨里克Lundqvist超过Jose西奥多的任何一天。 华盛顿可以得分,所以他们会偷一两场比赛,但在最后的流浪者会提前在五,六。
3。 新泽西恶魔VS 6。 卡罗来纳飓风
How far can Martin Brodeur take the Devils? 新泽西州这样做没有他,一旦他回到喜欢的球队恢复了往日的防守,并依靠布洛德尔1-0获胜。 那些日子已经一去不复返了,如果他们发挥,对联盟最炙手可热的球队之一,一个康恩斯迈思殊荣的守门员,他们将失去。 沃德一直是令人难以置信的,与埃里克·斯塔尔和埃里克·科尔在他的面前,恶魔是在严重的麻烦。 所有的所有,这是一个连在纸面上,但一旦你杀入季后赛,如果匹兹堡教我们什么去年你去用热的团队。 炎热的团队是卡罗来纳州,因此猎犬采取五。
4。 匹兹堡企鹅VS 5。 费城飞鸟。
这是美国宾夕凡尼亚战役,同区对手,和“高诚的家是一个潜水员!” Tie that in with revenge on the minds of the Flyers after last year's playoff thrashing at the hands of the Penguins what else could you want in a series? Crosby and Malkin more than likely have to play well for the Penguins to advance but it's possible to see Pittsburgh in round two without top-notch play from their two stars. What the Penguins can't afford to have is inconsistent play from netminder Marc-Andre Fleury. 当弗勒里是他在联赛中的最好的守门员之一,闪烁是什么让他这样一个备受推崇的业余球员。 But when Fleury is off the rest of the team is usually not good enough to bail him out. 这同样适用于马蒂比龙的另一侧的冰。 Even if Richards, Carter, Knuble, etc. are amazing if Biron is off the Flyers are done. So the key to this match-up is the goaltending; whoever wins the battle of the goalies will lead their team to round two. 那么,谁赢了? 马克 - 安德烈·弗勒里赢得了去年,将于今年再次夺冠。 两支球队都会有自己的时刻,但“帝企鹅日记”,将赢得七...(传单将踢自己失去家园冰本赛季的最后一天)。
Carolina Hurricanes Downgraded to Tropical Depression
March 2, 2009 by Big Tony · Leave a Comment
The Carolina Hurricanes are fighting for a playoff spot and as of late have been playing some very good hockey. That is, until Saturday night. They went into Atlanta having won four of their last five including a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Buffalo in overtime the game before, putting themselves in prime position to solidify their place in the playoffs. And who better to help Carolina pad their placement more than the Southeast Division cellar dwelling Atlanta Thrashers? Everything was going smoothly as Carolina took a 3-1 lead at the 1:41 mark of the third period and were seemingly cruising to an easy victory. That is, until 10:25 of the third period when the Hurricanes gave up the first of what would be three unanswered goals in an eight minute period ultimately leading to a 5-3 Thrashers win; it was one of the worst collapses of the year. Instead of sitting safely in playoff position, the Hurricanes sit tied for 10 th with Buffalo at 69 points but Buffalo holds a game in hand over Carolina and as a result the Hurricanes will need some help from those ahead of them in the standings if they want to make reservations for post-season play. One bad game does not a season make, but when you blow a two goal third period lead to the second worst team in the Conference you probably do not deserve to compete for Lord Stanley's Cup. With the playoff race getting tighter every day, if the Hurricanes miss the playoffs they can point to the game against Atlanta and then squarely in the mirror because they'll have no one to blame but themselves.
Trouble in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in the middle of a fairly rough stretch losing five of the last seven and with the exception of a 9-2 thrashing of the lowly New York Islanders scoring has been a problem. For most of the season to this point Pittsburgh has had trouble keeping opponents off the score board but were able to post enough goals to win games 6-5, 7-6, etc. However, not only have the defensive struggles continued but now the Penguins are not scoring a lot of goals. Games they have been able to come back to win or overcome blown leads by basically “scoring” their way out of it simply is not happening anymore. Injuries have seemed to plagued this team from day one of training camp and despite all that they currently sit sixth in the east but the standings will not be forgiving for much longer. No matter the amount of injuries, long road trips, normal slumps of a long season or otherwise the excuses have to stop. There is no position in the playoffs reserved for the team who had the most injuries but still did “pretty well” considering the circumstances. Last year's success has no bearing on this season and no one is entitled to anything because of what they have done in the past in professional sports (see the 2007 Ottawa Senators and Carolina Hurricanes of the last two years). There is time to right the ship but it better be righted quickly or Pittsburgh will have a bunch of talented hockey players populating golf courses everywhere come mid April.
飓风破坏Captials的访问
华盛顿首都队有机会真正分开,自己从卡罗来纳州飓风欢迎亚历奥韦奇金公司向镇东南赛区周日的大部分。 进入飓风不完全是世界级强手,骑三连败,他们最后的收入只有三个点,在他们的引导抛出了换帅6失败者的游戏。 首都途中罗利(星期日)前6胜4,但只赢了4个,在过去的九个月。 尽管他们的斗争资本有机会参加第二位卡罗来纳州一个8分的领先优势,虽然它早,他们将已经建立了自己的固体东南赛区领跑者。 冰球下降,并保存为奥韦奇金更多或更少的资本并没有出现。 猎犬处于劣势的上限,如果这是第一次看这两支球队,人们可能会认为猎犬的师领导。 迈克尔·礼顿杰出的38或39张,其中包括11奥韦奇金单独谁也转身走了点球命中目标停止。 尽管只有25投自己的手杖,更有效地把Jose西奥多两三个圆盘背后的头号得分手雷惠特尼从一个挣扎的埃里克·斯塔尔。 卡罗来纳州发现,他们是不会去任何地方和不失球的划分到华盛顿,但如果他们想赢得埃里克·斯塔尔有更多的得分。 这是伟大的光芒惠特尼进球,如果斯塔尔没有得到猎犬会发现自己从家里看季后赛再次。
Hurricanes and Laviolette Part Ways
December 3, 2008 by Big Tony · Leave a Comment
ESPN.com is reporting that the Carolina Hurricanes have fired Head Coach Peter Laviolette just three seasons after leading the Hurricanes to the franchise's only Stanley Cup title. Although Laviolette led the team to the highest level possible they have missed the playoffs each of the last two years. Carolina currently stands second place in the weak Southeast division only three points behind Washington but have given up 10 more goals than they have scored thus far this season. The team's power play has struggled mightily scoring only 12.9% of the time and have won only four of their last 10 games and once in their last five. In a strange turn of events Laviolette has apparently been replaced by Paul Maurice who Laviolette actually replaced when he was named head coach five years ago. As it stands now Carolina would be in the playoffs sitting in the 8 th spot just one point ahead of Buffalo but the team clearly needs to turn a the corner. What this will mean for Carolina long-term is yet to be seen but Maurice will be tested right away as the Hurricanes welcome the Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday night. Carolina has plenty of talent in Ray Whitney, Rod Brind'Amour (although he's aging), Eric Staal, and a reliable goaltender in Cam Ward; but now that talent needs to produce wins.
