99/00 Playoffs
Rnd1-Rangers play Toronto, first two home games win easily, 25 goals for the rangers, then stunned 6-3 in Toronto! before 8-2 and 8-3 completes the series. Islanders beat Philly in 5, and other tie of the round, Van Cgy goes to 7, with canucks going through. Real poor season for Zubov, Turgeon, Bure et all!
Rnd2: Det-Van and Edm-Dal. Rangers-Islanders, and Mrl-Ws. Dallas the only non top 5 seed left. We handled Selanne and Mogilny fairly well in the season, but Isanders take the first game at msg! Vishovsky, has a 100 point season, but i take him off my top lines now. 6-1 win for us. But Islander re take series lead with 4-3 ot win with Shanahan scoring the winner! NOW really up against it as they win 4-2! A resounding 10-4 home win, but now have to win at the Nasseau! 7-2 win, to force a game 7. Linden and Satan with 3 pts each. 7-3 thumping, what a scare that was! Edmonton sweep Dallas, but Detroit beaten by suprising Canucks! We face dangerous Montreal. The three top teams of the regular season all in, and the dangerous suprise package Canucks. Lemieux top of scoring charts with 27. Linden second with 23.
Rnd3:We've picked up form after going 3-1 down and thump montreal 4-0 scoring 23 goals to their 8. Vancouve is 2-1 up when we finish the sweep, they win game 4 5-3, to put them one win away from only their 2nd Stanley Cup. Edmonton win game 5, but not game 6, as Vancouver close them out 4-2, with a 4-2 win at home!
Stanley Cup Final: Canucks have a fairytale season. Oates 37 has 119 points, Ozolinsh who they got in a trade chips in with 98, whilse Alrfedsson and Smyth on second line get 75 and 68 points. LaLime is their goalie. however star is Brunette, who gets 67 goals and 74 assists from being Oates winger. In playoffs its the same aplyers with same style of point. Brunette 34 Oates 30. For us, Linden 29 leads but everyone has chipped in at least 10 points except Richard on 6.(having played 16 games) Our depth should be too much. Regular season games split with both games winning at the others arena!
Game1: Rangers 9-1 Canucks. Oh dear! Out shot 53-18. Canucks will need to improve big time.
Rangers 1-0 Canucks
Game2:Rangers 6-3 Canucks Rangers lead 3-0 before Canucks show fight and get it to 3-2 shortly after the second period starts, but Pronger Streit and Brind'Amour make it 6-2. Smyth adds a late consolation. Brunette and Oates get their first point of series.
Rangers 2-0 Canucks
Game3: Canucks 3-2 Rangers. Canucks welcome to the party! OUtplayed and outshot again, this time 37-19, Hlinka has replaced LaLime, and puts in a brilliant 35 save performance to win the game. Brunette one assist, as Ozonlish, Smyth and Lebeau get the goals. Yashin and Vishovnksy combined on our two goals, but no one else could solve Hnilicka.
Rangers2-1 Canucks
Game4: Canucks1-7 Rangers, Hnilicka is solved, 39 shots to 26, is the closest game we've had possession and shot wise. First period is close 8 shots each but Brind'Amour gives us the lead. Second period is the decider we dominate and score 4 goals, 3rd period is a non event, 2-1, with Alfredsson spoiling the shutout with 2mins left.
Rangers 3-1 Canucks
Game 5 Rangers 8-1 Canucks. Game was aslaposided as you think. yashin 3 points but everyone chips in.
Rangers 4-1 Canucks
Top scorer in the playoffs is Brunette with 37, Linden had 36, but all rangers contribute. Linden probably deserves the Conn Smythe, and deserves a sceond one for his exellent career with the Rangers so far.
Hart:Lemieux
Conn Smythe-Lidstrom(controversial!)
CAlder: Vincent Lecavalier
