Second Round Begins Tonight

by gallagher on Apr 30, 2009 12:24 PM CDT

We've been checking the schedules but can't seem to find when the Blues play next. Surely just a typo.

Tonight the hated division rival Chicago Blackhawks take on the Vancouver Canucks in British Columbia.

When the Blues get knocked out of the playoffs, we usually find ourselves rooting against the team that knocked them out. Plenty of fans take the opposite tack, hoping that team does well.

We thought we'd see what you have to say.

Who are you rooting for in the second round?

Let's see

Root for a rival team. Nope.
Root for the team I grew to dislike as they swept my team. Nope.
or
Root for a team from Chicago. Nope.
Root for the Sedin twins. Nope.

Yeah, I voted for option three.

Yeah, it’s an impossible choice. If there was a “hope they somehow sweep each other and get disqualified by a massive federal drug bust” option, that would get my vote.

Don’t like the possibilities in the West finals, either. {sigh}

I hate all four that remain.

I will root for everyone in the East to win the Cup.

Let's go Blues!!!

My money's on the East now too.

Though I would find it hysterical for the Hawks to get their asses kicked. I won’t be cheering FOR the ’Nucks, per se. But I would not complain if they won.

I didn’t think we’d get too many SLGTer’s along for the ride. I’d do the same if I were in your shoes.

That said, the door’s open if you want to get some anger out in Chicago’s direction though. Your crew is always welcome.

I’m going to ignore the Blackhawks/Canucks game and concentrate on Ducks/FuckDetroit.

hawks aren’t that good they got a good draw in the first round in playing a flames team that was beset by injuries and they still needed six games. the canucks will skate circles around them, end of story. nucks in five.

game 1 final: 5-3 Canucks. Vancouver had a 3-0 lead going into the 3rd. (I saw that and was like “huh?!? you see this shit?? for all you bastards that said the Blues weren’t cut out to play Vancouver or even be in the playoffs, whaddaya say to this?? Vancouver is the real deal!”) Chicago tied it with like 3 minutes to go and Vancouver scored again and got the empty netter to put it away.

yeah, I’m pulling for the Canucks. I know they beat us (swept us even), but with the other options out there, I’m sticking with the team that beat us.
