My team is the Avalanche who haven't done anything lately so I have been going for the Wings(I know figure that one out right? My line mate on Defense is a huge wings fan so there you go). The wings and anahiem has been a decent series but with no dog in the fight I think the Caps Pens series has without a doubt been the best series in the last couple years, I am really hoping that this becomes the new rivalry to replace the Avs Wings of the mid late 90's.
The next best series IMO is the Canucks Blackhawks but this one is just plain mean.
Then the Wings Ducks.
The Ove hit on Gonchar was a bad hit but I don't think it was deserving of a long term suspension even though I wouldn't have been against siting Ove for a game, there has to be history for a long term suspension and Ove just doesn't have it yet.
My teammates and I have argued about this for quite awhile on who's better but I keep coming back to this:
They are different types of players, they each have incredible skill but what I think Sidney has in speed Ove has in strength. Their puck handling is a draw in my books but Sidney will go by you Ove goes through you even though Ove has a way of making you get out of his way chasing a puck that used to be where it isn't anymore. Personally I love watching Ove play he seems to be the most in tune with himself stick and puck, I'm not sure he practices what he does as I think he dreams it.
great time to be a hockey fan though!
