nhl playoffs: round 3

once again, my predictions have fell short. the bruins happen to lose to the cardiac canes, the pens did edge out the caps (sadly), no surprise the red wings won their series, and my blackhawks looked good beating out vancouver. hm, 3 out of 4, thought it was worse than that. anyhow, here's my analysis of the current round.

EAST FINALS
Carolina Hurricanes vs. Pittsburgh Penguins: if ya didn't already know, i don't like sidney crosby. he's a frign robot. but he is proving to me that he can score buckets. i don't like the Pens, and i like eric staal, but i think the canes will fall short here against a supposed 'talented' penguins team. i still think its a conspiracy...

WEST FINALS
Detroit Red Wings vs. Chicago Blackhawks: damn straight i got the blackhawks back on this one. if they do take this series, it'll happen behind their power play. they rank first in the playoffs in powerplay successes, and detroit have been struggling in killing em... so i got blackhawks! if detroit wins, it's another cup for them. neither pitt nor the canes can take detroit.

so in conclusion... go BLACKHAWKS!

with my ps3 sold, i will miss NHL 09. my retirement is in the works, and i have played my last online game today. and i won. hehehe. i've ranked as high as 600-something, but could never consistently hang there. my average rank is around 1400. here are my glorious stats, plus my sexy avatar courtesy of easports.com.

glitch-free wins!

i will miss the hate mail the most, but i wont miss the glitchers (who account for more than half my losses...)

SOLDE!!!

for reasons that may argue my clinical retardation...

blackhawks win!

anybody see the game 6 of canucks vs. blackhawks? sickest games i've ever seen. 11 goals between the teams. a hat trick by patrick kane. cheerleaders and skates. and a blackhawks series finale win! go blackhawks! all the way baby!

Hatton-Pacquiao

5 things. short and sweet. 2nd round tko.


1. manny pacquiao, you're a saint and i truly do love you.


2. this fight was both truly religious, the most satisfying, and the most scary to me.


3. freddie roach is a genius. he won this fight, manny was in no offense, his precise tool.


4. please, please God, please make sure no cheating was involved. juice-free record.

5. fuck mayweather jr. fuck him. see you next winter. superfight: pacquiao-mayweather.

6. bonus: my house still smells like burnt pig.




God bless this frign guy.

Bulls vs. Celtics

i've caught zero games of the nba playoffs, but history is being made and im missing it. last year, it was classic with the celtics vs. lakers in the finals. this year, it's da Bulls vs. Celtics. major. no joke, major war. derrick rose vs. rajon rondo. ben gordon vs. ray allen. paul pierce vs. joakim noah. OVERTIMES GALORE, buzzer beaters, scuffles, lead changes, back-to-back treys, rose petals, 30+/40+/50+ point games, etc. DISGUSTING. all i've seen are the highlights. but here's the recap courtesy nba.com.

game 1

game 3


game 4

notice shake 0:42. dirty.

game 5


game 6


game 7, tonight at 8pm.

CHICAGO

... is the hottest city right now.


da BLACKHAWKS.


da BULLS.

nhl playoffs: round 2

with the habs out, i figured my attention will be drawn to the basketball playoffs, which is always solid entertainment. but i think im turning into a genuine hockey fan as this year' playoffs is shaping to be hardcore. even though my record for the first round fell hella short, i hope round 2 will be more cooperative.

EAST
Boston Bruins (1) vs. Carolina Hurricanes (4): cardiac canes upset my predicted eastern conference champs New Jersey Devils, but im sure the Bruins got this one, having won the first game. i got em representing the east, now. they're bad-asssss.


i make plays vs. i make memories
Washington Capitals (2) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (3): superfight! Crosby vs. Ovechkin! the face of hockey and Canada's sweetheart vs. the high scoring Russian sensation. the hockey purist vs. the hockey fan. this is a crazy matchup. im a ovechkin fan, never really liked crosby much. and ovechkin said it best in a recent interview,

"[Crosby]'s a superstar... Me? I'm just like you guys."
Damn straight, he's the people's champ! and i love that he's all run n' gun! and he hits! my heart is with the Caps, but Pitt'll take this one exploiting the Caps green goalie. but hell, i'll be cheering hard for the Caps.

WEST
Detroit Red Wings (1) vs. Anaheim Mighty Ducks (4): this one is a wildcard. with Anaheim upsetting the heavily favored Sharks, who knows what they'll do to the consistent Wings. i got the Wings in 7! but i'll be cheering for the Ducks.

Vancouver Canucks (2) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (3): oh yea baby! blackhawks all the way! they're the most exciting team to watch these playoffs. they're frign fast. though i don't know if they can win all the west, i know they can take the Canucks. they lost the first, but they'll tighten up, hopefully steal the next one and win both games at home. i think this'll go 6 games.

but in the end, when it really comes down to the wire... GO HABS GO!
