I'm taking the 5th, but we'll see, the Bruins are being cunning, they are losing all of their games now, so when the playoffs start all they have left in the tank are wins. :-)

We'll see? The point of backing up your boasts is doing it before we "see". :-)

What are we betting on, if the 'hawks win the cup or if they beat the bruins for the cup. I'm a Raiders fan, making silly bets with my heart is my middle name and yes it's a hell of a long middle name :-)

Neither....you said the Bruins will win the Cup, I am betting they will not.

West matchups are set:

Hawks V. Wild
Ducks V. Wings
Canucks V. Sharks
Kings V. Blues

Only East matchup see is Rangers V. Capitals....the other 3 depend on tomorrow's Bruins-Senators game.

Bring it. :-)

Yeah, while I think it will be a close series, I don't see the Wild taking it. They may not even win a game. But all I can say is that it will be entertaining and most likely 3-5 one goal games. Oh, and unfortunately your picture won't be accurate Tom. Heatley had his season ended about two weeks ago. Right about the time we starting falling off the cliff.

How bout the bruins win it all, I win, the hawks win it all you win, no matter who they play, seems to add a bit more action to it. A blind fiver to the winner?

I knew Heatley was out, but didn't know it was season-ending, Pete. I obviously am rooting for the Hawks, but hope we get good entertaining games as well.

As long as the blind guy is from Cuba, that's fine. :-)

Only blind guy I know, so we have an agreement. A little extra excitement for the playoffs. A friend here owns a few restaurants (steakhouses) he's a huge Flyers fan so if they meet the Bs in the playoffs I have a little side wager going with him as well.

Flyers? Not this season. :-)

:-):-)

....and Sacco's gone... That didn't take long.

:-) sorry didn't mean to rub it in, I meant it as a running bet. :-)

Playoff time baby! Bruins barely drag themselves around the ice in the last 11 games, doesn't look good, but it's still the playoffs and anything can happen. :-)

I picked Toronto to beat them in my playoff pool. :-)

Want to put a fiver on that? :-)

Dont bet against the hog. I have lost 2x I think.

BTW Tom 40k posts holly fu&k balls

Woot! Caps v Rangers!!!! Just like the old days when they would leave 4 guys standing in front of the goal and pray that Bondra would score by himself.

Sure wish Bondra and Dale Hunter were still around....Those were great Caps teams. Lucky enough to grow up in DC during that era.
