Good question Darla, this paragraph explains the 2010 Olympic qualification:

"The council also decided that the 2008 IIHF World Championship in Canada (Quebec City & Halifax, May 1 – 18) will serve as the qualifying tournament for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The top nine teams in the IIHF World Ranking following Canada 2008 will earn direct qualification to the 12-team Olympic tournament. The remaining three teams will be determined through a number of Olympic qualifying tournaments, played in the autumn of 2008 and early 2009.

Well after our win tonight.... I got kind of an assist... When a slapshot from the point bounced off my arm and the other wing tipped it in.. Ohh and I got a hugh bruse! Lol.

But anyway... We were talking about the playoffa in the locker room tonight and figure the Penns can't keep winning and the first loss could be catastroiphic.. But then again maybe just maybe the Penns are just that good!! Every other team is winning AND loosing.. So maybe we are just playing crappy teams?? Or maybe not!! Well see!!

Sorry to hear the canadiens lost!! Ok I lied !! I'm not really sorry!!

where are all the second round series at. who will win it all?

***Karren*** · 04-29-2008, 01:03 PM

Just got the inside scoop from my dentist...... Rita... She's a hockey nut and a fantitic dentist... She and Carolyn both lust after Sid btw!! Lol

But she's seeing that after Montreal won game 1 in OT..... Philly has gotten better with each game... Which doesn't bode well for Montreal...

And Detriot is certantly going to win the West.. So my Redwings vs Penguins cup series is looking very probable baring a complete melt down!!

***Dragonfly*** · 04-29-2008, 03:34 PM

I'm not making any predictions just yet. Montreal is only behind one game.
Pittsburg has to win the nex two games. Dallas is pretty hot and so is Detroit.
I'll make a final wager when the next round starts - but I haven't bailed on Montreal yet.

***Darla_G*** · 04-29-2008, 03:55 PM

That last Montreal game was not good. hey i went with your recommendation Carolyn.

***Karren*** · 04-29-2008, 04:03 PM

I can definately see some sports wagering opertunities!! Last time I bet on a game I won a $50 Victoria Secret gift card! Takes sports betting to a whole new level when you can win lingerie!!

And you took a Canadian's advice on a Canadian team, Darla?? Kind of like taking a French womans advice on Chanpaign... Or french fries? Lol

Ohh contrar!! Pittsburh has to win 2 of the next 5 games... The rangers have to win the next 4 games out of 5!! I'll go with the odds...

***Karren*** · 04-30-2008, 05:01 AM

Ok... Penns need 1 out of 4. The NyR's need 4 out of the next 4..

I'm in shock that the Penns just keep winning.. What's the presidence for sweeping anyway? I need to look that up! Watched the Colorado vs Detroit game... Stayed up late and slept on the couch!! Lol. And the Wings look good!!! If Foresberg wouldn't keep getting dumb ass penelties which Detroit took advantage of!! A 4 minute double minor for HS and drawing blood... Lol.

So who's playing tonight?

***Darla_G*** · 04-30-2008, 05:07 AM

i saw at least a good part of that game. truth is the Rangers would have to play amazing to stop the Pens at this point and they would have to have things break their way. sort of the way Boston had it against the Yankees a few years ago. i kind of don't see that happening though.

Hi Karren,
Do Penguins wear lipstick ?

***Karren*** · 04-30-2008, 07:26 AM

Hahahaha!!! No but ice hockey is the only sport where guys can "legally" wear garter belts, girdles and stockings! Lol.

Guess that's what attracted me to the sport? That and being able to knock someone on their ass while wearing garter belts, girdles and stockings!!

New York, NY -- (Sports Network) - New York Rangers left wing Sean Avery was hospitalized Wednesday morning with a lacerated spleen.

The Rangers said Avery was injured during Tuesday's Eastern Conference semifinal game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in New York. He will miss the remainder of the playoffs, but is expected to make a full recovery in the offseason.

Avery had an assist in Tuesday's game and has four goals with three assists for seven points in eight games this playoff season. The Rangers suffered a 5-3 setback to the Penguins on Tuesday and have lost the first three games of the best-of-seven series. They face elimination on Thursday in Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.

Wow!! That changes things... Probably not the end results but I don't like to see anyone hurt and knocked out of the playoffs because of an injury!!
