A bunch of great people over there. www.chompboard.com Still jealous you get to go to to the home games. I missed the game yesterday...how'd it go between the Ducks and Stars?

Originally Posted By LacyBelle Thanks for the info, xPPx. My hunch was correct, I guess. It's too bad you can't see the CSN feed tonight. During the intermission, they showed the playoff beard photos they've received. The picture of your little one from post 106 was on TV! She's famous! LOL Well, the Sharks aren't looking so good tonight. Way too many turnovers. Losing faceoffs. The Flames are everywhere. The Flames are in a must win situation tonight, so expected them to be desperate. I just hope the Sharks can turn this around. Currently down 2 - 0, but on the PP. I'd rather not have a game 7. As for the Stars and Ducks last night...the Ducks live to play another day. That game is scoreless after 1 period in Dallas right now.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x OMG! I missed it!! For some reason, I thought the game was on at 7, not 4 (5??) and I forgot to set the DVR!!!!!! I guess I'll have to go to the website to check it out. I'm upset I'm home after an amazing weekend, upset I missed the Sharks game, upset they LOST, and now upset that I missed my baby on TV! What a night ... I should go to bed.

Is the series now 3-3? btw with all the money I spend on Center Ice, I hate when VS has a game so I don't get it!!!
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x S-n-F, I get VS and I'm ticked when CI can't carry the game. I dispise the VS announcers..they can't pronounce the players' names, and they have no passion for the teams. Yes, the series is 3-3. Game 7 is on Tuesday...I need to triple check the time, so I don't miss the game again! I have almost $19,000 in fake money to wager on the Boys in Teal (if they win game 7, they will become the MEN in Teal) and I'm going all in. This is it. If they don't win, they're on vacay until September. WHEN they win, they will play the winner of the Stars/Ducks game....MAN, I don't know who I want to lose more. I can't stand the Stars, but the Ducks are the Hated Ones in Sharks Territory. But the Stars play dirty, but then again, so does the Ducks...... I have a thing against the Texas Teams (Stars, Cowboys) so I'm going to say I hope the Ducks win that series...but if they hurt each other's players along the way so they're out of the second round, I won't cry too many tears.
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I was happy I was able to watch some of the game last night. It started at 8pm here on the East Coast. Usually they start at 10pm here. UGH!! too late to see and get up at 6:30 for work! In the east I have to stick with Sid the Kid and the Pens.
Originally Posted By dshyates Sorry the Sharks didn't seal the series, but they WILL do it tomorrow night. If the Sharks win the Avs play the Dead Wings. If Calgary wins the Avs play Dallas. I hate them both, but this year I think I would rather play the Dead Wings as I feel they may have exhausted themeselves at the tail end of the season to get the stellar record. Dallas seems more solid. We don't want to deal with that.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle Psst...xPPx...the Stars closed out the Ducks on Sunday night. WHEN the Sharks win, they will be playing the Stars in Round 2. I'm anti-Texas also (only natural since hubby is a Sooner), but was rooting for the Stars to win that series. As much as I dislike Texas, I dispise the antics of the Ducks more. They get away with way too many uncalled infractions for my taste and it fuels them to step it up and get away with even dirtier play. /off soapbox If it works out the way all we want it to tomorrow night, I'll definitely be rooting for your Avs to eliminate the Dead Wings dshyates! Go Sharks!!!

It's not showing up on my guide yet, but I managed to manually set the DVR to record at 7pm tomorrow night. I'll be home, but I have it set anyway...hopefully, they'll show my girls again! If not, I have a friend who recorded the game and is going to try to record it on DVD for me.

I'm an Avs fan and I'll find out tonight if we play you guys next. BUT, it is always good to chat with other hockey fans, as there are apparently only about 6 of us on here.

So, when the Sharks win tonight, I am looking forward to sitting up in section 118 and watching the Sharks beat the Stars. Funny side note. Do you know how many times the word "star" is in the National Anthem? Do you know what Sharks fans yell when they hear the word "star"?
