what are your thoughts on taking montreal -120 to win in regulation. do you like that, or am I better off parlaying it with something else. GL with everything else. montreal -200 for the series, is that your strongest series play?

I do like them -120 in regulation but reg bets in the playoffs can be tough with OT always on the horizon in so many tough/close battles. Yes the Habs are my top series wager. And also I read a few of your posts when I wasnt around. I never praised Hasek whatsoever if you read that post. All I said is the Wings are not gonna lose to the Preds and that I agreed he was past his prime and I even said that this may be a barrier for the Wings to go al the way if the leave Hasek in net. I noticed you thought I was loving Hasek or something so please tell me where cause I never said that at all. Just said the Wings were dominant all year in general. The one thing I can admit that I was definately wrong about was Dan Ellis. Was very shocked and impressed with how he played and I am sure many people didnt see that coming along with me.

Bullshit that Canadiens game isn't on VS

Bullshit that Canadiens game isn't on VS

We get all Habs games on a Canadian network called "CBC" up here...dont know about you guys though...may get it on Comcast Sportsnet or something then and the Avs/Wings game may be Versus...also we dont get Versus is Canada....all games that are regularly scheduled for Versus for you guys we get it on TSN (Canadian EPSN)...

Got the Det game on vs
Habs are no place

I could go to my grandfathers house because he buys the NHL package every year just so he can watch Habs games.

But it's an hour away and I have my neice and nephew tonight.

chado c'mon dude we have never had a problem before, what is with you dude. calling me out after you haven't been on here for more than a week. I was just loving watching hasek choke/lose/cry whatever you want to call it. AND all most every post regarding hasek was either in my detroits new dominator thread which was only created to praise chris osgood and nothing more, or it was in conversation with detroit dave basically explaining that IMO if he and the wings wanted to win they better throw osgood in there.

yes I did reference you in like 1 post i think maybe 2 at the most but all it says is that I told chado before the series started that hasek is done and I did........ are you telling me I didn't. Go check out the question for hockey experts thread, before the series started I told greek the best shot at a big underdog would be nashville based solely on the poor play of hasek, and solid play of ellis and you laughed at me saying please, dan ellis.

All i did was post my opinions for all the series before they started for greek. Then i chatted with dave a little in his thread about how detroit needs to put osgood in if they want to win. Then dave started a thread called osgood that's good, we talked a little in there and then there is my detroit's new dominator thread.

So what are you talking about......... SO let me get this straight MR hockey who is on here every day decides to take week off at the most important time of the year. So because I want to talk hockey and have no one to really talk to on here about it. your telling me I can't even reference your name as a part of a hockey conversation.

your acting like every night i started a thread saying I told you chado or chado was wrong, which i never did. I personally have no reason to go into all your threads and rip you but i see a lot of people do. To be honest I don't think I have ever said one bad word about you at all.

Wow that sucks. Hopefully ESPN will pick up the NHL contract again in the future because that may have a bit to do with the lack of interest in Americans not getting enough exposure. In Canada we have 4 sports networks. One is CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). This is the network that shows the double header "Hockey Night in Canada" every Saturday night. Starting off with the Leafs, Sens, or Habs @ 7PM EST (depending on where you are located in Canada) and then the entire country will get either the Flames, Oilers, or Canucks game @ 10PM EST across the board only. Howver throughout the playoffs only CBC does not just have Saturday night only games but yet ones every sinle night. The 2nd sports network is Rogers Sportsnet (Rogers is the main phone/cable/internet provider in Canada along with Bell). Thus the name of where the Jays play is called "Rogers" centre and where the Habs play is called "Bell" Centre. Rogers Sportsnet has 4 different feeds of their network. Sportsnet West, Sportsnet Pacific, Sportsnet Ontario, and Sportsnet East. Other than Saturday nights if a team plays on any other day for example Sportsnet West would show Canucks games, Pacific, would show Flames and Oilers games, Ontario shows only Leafs games, and East shows Sens and Habs games. This network however does not show any othe NHL playoffs only regualr season. The 3rd sports network is called TSN. It is a Canadian version of ESPN and is where we watch Canadian Sportscentre. On this network it will show random NHL games during the week that may not even be involving Canadian team specifically throughout the season. This network along with all the Sportsnets show all Jays and Raptors games as they are the only Canadian NBA and MLB teams we have. TSN shows mostly the American teams involved in the playoffs as CBC has the playoffs rights to te Canadian ones. So for example in the first round it would be Pens/Sens and Flames/Sharks double header on CBC (two Canadian teams) and Rangers/Devils then Wild/Avs on TSN double header for (all American teams). So therefore every single game is on these two networks so we dont miss a second of the action. The 4th and final network is called "THE SCORE". This network does not show any NHL games ever but they have the rights to the NBA and CBB. This is the channled pretty much that will pick up majority of American feeds but they also talk a ton about hockey on the side. Also I buy NHL centre ice for the season which picks up FOXSPORTSNET US feeds of every NHL game from their local market that is not on cable for us so I get every signle game every night. Hows that for hockey coverage up here??? LOLOLOL

Wow dude no worries I do not have a problem with you at all I like you man. Its all good. I just seen a few posts about talking about how Chado thought Hasek was the shit and stuff and I never said that I said Detroit is dominant in general and even stated that if Hasek stays in it will be a barrier from them going to the Cup. I was however very wrong about Ellis. No worries my friend!

Yes he is a die hard Pens fan...

Some things will never change bro...cant persuade peoples up bringing and their sport surroundings as a child. It is unfortunate and I do know of a few that try to get into it and get hooked on the intensity of playoff hockey but unfortunately everyone cannot and to each their own!!!

And yes GO HABS GO GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
