Edmonton vs. Carolina?
Either Dwayne Roloson or Cam Ward's name etched on the Silver Chalice?
I love it! The Conference Finals were great, every game full of action from end to end. I'm pulling for Edmonton. I've always had a soft spot for the Oilers. Carolina could have an edge opening the series, after having dispatched Buffalo, and with no layoff to deal with like Edmonton has, they may have a slight advantage at first with plenty of confidence. Should be a tremendous matchup.

As a Canadian, I'll obviously be pulling for the Oil, HOWEVER as Edmonton is full of white-trash hooligans, I won't be disappointed if they lose.
Just kidding, all you Edmontonians.
Carolina in 5.

Originally posted by sasquatch672Brind'amour has always been one of my favorite players. Why did Clarke ever let him go? He always was in the best shape of any Flyers player every single year he played. All he does is run through walls to help his team. I'd be happy to see Brind'amour raise it high, no doubt. Whoever wins, it cool.
YO!! What's up man? Going for Carolina, for one reason only: Rod Brind'amour was the heart and soul of the Flyers in '97. Two shorthanded, unassisted goals inside of five minutes...Love the guy, I want him to get his name on the greatest trophy in sports.

Originally posted by sasquatch672yea i met him too, he was doing some kind of benefit at a car dealership in media. I was still kind of a kid, but i remember him being an awesome guy
Clarke traded Brind'amour so Keith Primeau could come here and play 25 games a year. Brind'amour had 77 points in each of the three seasons before he was traded; Primeau only did it once, and then got hurt, didn't want to play, blah blah blah...Brind'amour has been widely regarded as the NHL's fittest player and clearly has the team's respect. Met him once, he's a very down-to-earth guy. Love the guy.
Originally posted by eagles54I don't think Roloson will be the weak link here although he's been inconsistent his entire career. He's 37, don't forget! I just think the East is much stronger this year and Carolina will simply roll over them. They have the complete team (except for a star defencemen on the PP) and I don't see them getting this far to lose to an 8th seed. They're no Red Wings. This team has lots of heart.
Wow.
Are you thinking that Roloson will be set back by the layoff as a big reason?
