Enbwife | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 06:49 am     My poor Ottawa Senators put up a terrific fight against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night, but lost 1-0 7 minutes into overtime. We outshot them 30 something to 15… I know we’ll kick their butts tomorrow night!!!! Flint – I’m routing for Montreal too since I want the cup to come back to Canada!!! Thanks for starting this thread. I’m sure we’ll be in here a lot over the coming weeks!!! Go SENS Go!!!  |
Marysafan | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 09:54 am     Oh YEAH! WELL.....My Wings got their butts kicked in overtime by Vancouver! I never liked that whole Hasek for Osgood deal! The "Dominator" needs to perform much better if he hopes to get his name on the cup. Boston vs Montreal.....was SOME hockey game! Best of the series so far! GO WINGS! |
Enbwife | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 10:59 am     Wow! Vancouver won too? That's great! Sounds like the Canadian teams are doing well except for my poor Senators. How'd Toronto do? Does anyone know? |
Cablejockey | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 11:29 am     Toronto beat the Islanders last night! |
Zeyna | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 05:44 pm     Enbwife, I don't know what's up with the Senators. They seemed to choke after the overtime started. I hope they do well because they deserve it. I'm so glad that it's not the Leafs against the Sens again this year again. I hate the thought of two Canadian teams agains eachother in the first round. Go Leafs, Go Sens, Go Habs, Go Vancouver!!! (no offence to any US teams, but it would be nice to have at least one Canadian team in the finals for once) |
Flint | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 05:56 pm     No prob Enbwife. You should have expected this thread. I start it every year at playoff time. Just like I start one every year when the hockey season starts. Hopefully the Sens will do better. Unfortunately the 1st game isn't always a good indicator of how a series will go. I say unfortunately because it could mean bad things for the other Canuck teams, and good for just the Sens. It would be nice to see the Cup back where it belongs in the same year we won Olympic gold in mens AND womens hockey.  |
Cablejockey | Friday, April 19, 2002 - 08:47 pm     Amen Flint, amen. |
Flint | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 05:32 pm     Leafs won by a score of 2-0, putting them up 2 games to none against the NY Islanders. Go CUJO! |
Cinnamongirl | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 06:24 pm     Canucks won by a score of 5-2, putting them up 2 games to none against the Red Wings!! (sorry marysafan) |
Zeyna | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 06:38 pm     Ottawa currently leading 3:0, 3mins left in 3rd period!! |
Flint | Saturday, April 20, 2002 - 07:59 pm     Woo Woo!!!!!! |
Cinnamongirl | Monday, April 22, 2002 - 07:57 am     Oh man, Our Canucks were stopped in their tracks last night. Detroit outplayed, outwitted and outlasted Vancouver in a big way. Our guys couldn't keep the puck for more than 2 seconds. Lots and lots of fights. Its getting way too physical way too fast, but I guess thats playoff hockey for ya. Hasek was great! On a side note I must say I was so upset with the fans at the game in Vancouver. When asked for a minute of silence for the 4 men killed in Afghanistan, half the crowd couldn't keep their big yaps shut. It was disgusting! And booing during the opposing teams Anthem is shameful, whats wrong with these people?? :( Oh and that Ottawa game was awesome!! I only saw the highlights but that would have been a great one to watch.... |
Flint | Monday, April 22, 2002 - 01:45 pm     I hate seeing people denigrate someones National Anthem, or flag. It bothers me even more when it is Canadians doing it, because we usually have more respect for others. Part of the reason why that happened could be tit for tat. In Detroit, that afternoon, fans booed tha Canadian National Anthem. Which is nothing new in the US. I got the next three items from Canada.com Last year, during Toronto's first-round playoff series with the New York Knicks the New York fans booed O Canada. The booing offended even the Knicks players. Said Jerome Williams: ''When they booed the Canadian national anthem, I really felt that. When we're in Canada, they never boo [the Star-Spangled Banner]." In 1995, during the Canadian Football League's ill-considered expansion into the U.S., lounge singer Dennis K.C. Parks made a mockery of O Canada before a game in Las Vegas -- singing it to the tune of O Christmas Tree. In 1992, a U.S. Marine Honour Guard marched in to open a World Series game in Atlanta with the Canadian flag flying upside down. Americans have a history, especially during playoffs, of denigrating the Anthem or Flag of other countries. When it happens to them they tend to want a war. But I digress ... The Habs lost 6-4. Go Habs Go!!!!  |
Marysafan | Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 08:06 am     yeah...well some of us understood the why of it...and felt is was deserved. I have seen the Us flag flown upside down at sporting events also...and backwards more times than I care to mention. Mistakes happen. But the intentional booing of another's country national anthem...is low. And I will admit...we have our share of low lifes in the USA. |
Enbwife | Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 01:04 pm     Senators kicked the Flyers butts on Saturday and last night 3-0. WOO HOO!!! They haven’t scored a goal against Patrick Lalime in all 3 games in the regular periods, just one in OT the first game. Last night’s game was awesome. Playoff hockey is so much better than regular hockey. So Ottawa is leading the series 2-1 and is at home again tomorrow night! Go SENS Go! I feel the city is coming back to support them again, after many years of playoff letdowns. It’s great!!! |
Flint | Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 10:27 pm     The Habs beat Boston 5-3!!!!! They lead the series 2-1 now!!!!!! GO GO!!!!! It was great to hear/see Saiku Koivo got the winning goal. Hard to believe that months ago he was going through Chemotherapy. Go Saiku Go!!!!!!!!!
 |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 07:25 am     AND Wings come back to to tie up the series 2-2! The Captain is carrying them on one gimpy knee! That Montreal vs Boston series...is exciting! I LOVE that Saku Koivu is doing so well. Would LOve to see Ottawa take the Philly's out...but will admit...I am pullng for the Islanders. Chris Osgood deserves something better than the shaft he got from Detroit. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 08:22 am     OH! That reminds me! Pardon my ignornace and please take this opportunity to educate me. Last night while watching the Montreal game...I noticed the fans singing a song...I couldn't make out all the lyrics butt he chorus seemed to be ..."Away....away....away...etc..." and then later during the Vancouver game...I noticed their fans singing the same song. Could someone please tell me what this song is and also some history as to it's relevance in hockey? |
Xxlt | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:03 pm     no relevance to hockey, it's an old soccer chant..... heard it @ the 94 World Cup in LA. it's a very catchy 'tune' and a bunch of different teams use it..... for some reason i think of the Brazilian national team when i hear that song......i think they were the ones that brought it to town.....you heard it all over pasadena during the tourney. sorta like the gary glitter song the LA Kings used two years ago........now it seems like you hear it at every game. |
Xxlt | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:04 pm     go kings. |
Enbwife | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:26 pm     The Habs series is great!!! I’m definitely routing for them to win the series. I find I’m routing for NY to win over Toronto right now. I guess it’s because of the horrible rivalry between Ottawa and Toronto in years past. Cujo had a terrible night last night! 6-1… Game 4 tonight for the Senators!!! Can’t wait… somehow I have to juggle the game, Survivor and 2 hours of the Amazing Race, plus Eco Challenge… not gonna happen. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 12:42 pm     Boy Enbwife...I hear you there! I am usually relegated to the kitchen to watch the Amazing Race and Survivor while hockey rules the living room! I run in during commercials to check scores...unless I hear hollering...then I just run! |
Flint | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 01:42 pm     Hmmm....Marysafan, I think you mean Ole ole, not away, away. I can't remember the whole song but it repeats Ole Ole, Hot Hot Hot. Was it that? If so it is just some song that has been taken over as a sports chant. In Montreal what they usually sing in the dying minutes of the game, if the Habs are winning, is Good bye. Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, gooooood byyyyyeeee. Enbwife, you bad little Canadian you! Not wanting to cheer for the Leafs!. All the Canadian teams should win. Unless they face Montreal. Then they should lose. I would kill to see a habs-boston game. From the highlights I have seen, and what I have read, it is a fantastic series. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 02:09 pm     Well..being that it came from Brazilian soccer....Ole...Ole...makes a LOT more sense! lol! Thanks gang! I knew you would enlighten me. The Boston vs Montreal series has the makings of a classic. Two teams that hadn't made the playoffs last year battling it out. A number 1 seed vs a number 8 seed. The younger, bigger, badder Bruins against a team with the motivation and heart to win for their comeback Captain. It is unbelievable! |
