Stanley Cup Survey:Which Two Teams Would Make For The Most Violent Series? Bruins VS Philly?

Posted on 04/19/2012 4:38:45 PM PDT by Reality_News

The Penguins/Phlyers series has proven to be a very hard hitting/penalty ridden series so far. Question, does the winner of this series go up againt the Boston/Washington series? What two teams overall would make for another Boston/Vancouver playoff? (the unforgettable 2011 Stanley Cup Series). Boston VS Philly would defintely be an intense&hard hitting series,most likely to go at least six games. But what happened to Philly last night? They were whiplashed!

It’s an old tradition with hockey teams. As soon as they make the post-season, the players stop shaving.

I think the Edmonton Oilers started that tradition back in the 1980s. They would stop shaving once they got in the playoffs, and if they went all the way to the Stanley Cup finals most of them would look like Amish hockey players.

There was an online article last year about the Top 25 Playoff Beards in NHL History. Here was the winner:

That's Mike Commodore, who played on the Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup team a few years ago. If Ronald McDonald were an NHL player in the Stanley Cup playoffs, this is exactly what he'd look like.

i have lost track on who plays who from the start of the quarter finals, I am assuming its an east team vs west,,therefore there is a chance it could be a repeat of last year?

If Ogie Oglethorpe had a son, he’d look just like him.

Unfortunately today’s Edmonton Oilers’ players are clean-shaven.

I can only imagine. I seem to remember that it was rarer in the 70’s when I started watching.

for those of us who were kids in the 70’s, you got to admit,the 71 Bruins were the greatest team ever (despite the loss to the canadians) and in 77 or 78 we were ripped off of a stanly cup win all because of an unessessary call of too many men on the ice,,,who wasnt pissed!

I have no great interest in the Penguins/Flyers, except that I don’t care for the Flyers at all and little for the Penguins.

But, I have watched their series — in hopes of the fights that break out.

Penguins have dominated, but they have relinqueshed the lead and let the Flyers take the wins. The most recent game was an embarrassment for the Flyers — 10 unanswered goals by the Penguins.

Most of the teams seem to be pretty even.

I still remember the fourth Simpson Halloween special where Homer was on Trial for his soul. The jury box had all sorts of criminals and evil doers but the best was the starting line-up of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers.
