No matter your Religous beliefs, I think we can agree that Danny Briere is a Playoff God!

2-1 Orange after not getting a shot in the first 14 minutes or so...


And Briere, after trying to kick one in, blasts the GWer to win it in OT.

Seriously, has there been a guy who Elevates his game for the Post-season more than Briere recently?

I can think of Pierre Turgeon, Joe Sakic and Messier a while ago, but man, is he Unreal in the Playoffs...

Wow what a crazy second round! Preds have dug themselves a big hole. I expect them to come out tommorow night all charged up!

The Kings are out of their heads right now. Never would have dreamed they would be up 2-0!

Incredible Coach.

Claude Lemieux was another HUGE playoff performer back in his day. Paul Coffey, Bobby Orr, Peter Forsberg, Martin Brodeur, Mario Lemieux, Billy Smith, Mike Vernon, Gretzky (Oilers especially) and the greatest playoff performer ever is probably Patrick Roy.

Yeah, I remember that stinkin' weasel. I was just trying to name guys who were average or just above and when the Playoffs came, BOOM! they go nuts. I know Sakic and Messier probably don't fit that either...

Kris Draper was another guy like that too. But man, Briere is out of his mind in the Post-season!

NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators have suspended forwards Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn for Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal with the Phoenix Coyotes for a violation of team rules.

The Flyers should be flat-out EMBARASSED for their Play in Game 2.

They started well, which is unusual, then get out-played the rest of the Game. Just awful...Ugh.

Those two idiots deserved to be suspended and Radulov may have done himself in with the Preds brass, not that he would have signed with them anyway.

Will be interesting to see how the Preds play tonight. If they lose it's all over for this year!::facepalm::

I seriously quit watching hockey after the wings lost. This is the first time in years I just quit during the playoffs. Dont know what it is, but the the wings think just dont have it anymore imo. I cant tell if there going with a youth movement or keep bringing in veterns like modano etc to kick the tires. I dont know I might watch the predators because there close to me (huntsville/birmingham), but the have to beat the coyotes to get over the initial sting of the first defeat they gave my wings

Its only natural to lose some (or a lot) interest after your team gets knocked out. My two teams are out as well (Pens and Flames) and the playoffs aren't the same for me neither without one of them in it.

Ive rallied for the Kings these playoffs to keep the playoffs interesting to watch. They've never won a cup, great underdog story, i like several players on their team and Darryl Sutter is their coach:D

hahaha those are pretty funny krusin. So the Preds are up 2-0 against the Yotes in the 2nd. If the Preds win this game, what should they do next game? Continue sitting the party animals or let them play?
