2000/2001 Playoffs
Rnd1: Rangers get Ottawa, they have Lecavalir and LeClair, they'll be no competition. Or not, they actually win the first and third games, before we win. But noth the high scores i was expecting. Florida beaten by Montreal, tough luck for them to get such a strong opponent as teh third seed. Calgary knocked out by Vancouver again.
Rnd2:We get Montreal, beat them in 5, but again not as easily as the regular season went. Edmonton out to Vancouver,
Rnd3: Rangers Islanders again! and Gretzky gets another conference final, this time against the canucks, we might never see a gretzky-lemieux playoff serfies again. We didn't get spoiled with them facing off 7 times though. Detroit get through in 7!
Stanley Cup FInal: The old team of Gretzky Hull and Hasek, all 36 and over, probably get thier one last chance of a cup. Boyle in d, got 97 points and a major reason they are in the sc finals. In the playoffs, Gretzky gets 47 points at the age of 40! Her may not retire! Modano for us is 20 points behind! We won both regular seasons game, 11-7 in detroit and 8-2 at MSG.
Game1: 5-2 win for the Rangers. Detroit score 2, Gretzky goal and and assist, in first 2 minutes, But we are even before 7th minute of 1st, through Satan and MOdano. Elias and Blake score late goals to make it 4-2. Demitra adds insurance in 2nd period, and thats the end of the goals
Rangers 1-0 Red Wings
Game2: 9-2 win for the Rangers, Detroit only manage 13 shots on goal! Gretzky pointless. Almost everyone gets a point on our team, Blake only one with 3.
Rangers 2-0 Red Wings
Game3: 5-3 win for Detroit, did not see that coming! Gretzky and Hull only get an assist each, its down to the 3rd 4th lines to provide shock offence to stun us! Park, Roberts and Svehla score in the first, Modano brieflyt tieing the score. Boyle puts it out of reach in the 2nd, Palffy and Streit getting 3rd period goals, Gary Roberts scoring again for detroit!
Rangers 2-1 Red Wings
Game4: Game of the series so far! Again zero offence from Gretzky and Hullsuprinsigly. First period, Detroit win a shoot out 3-2. Nielsen, Gary Roberts(on fire!) and Traverse for detroit, Satan and Demitra for us. Period 2, we take the lead through Modano and Elias, and in the 3rd, Kotaliks equalises, Demitra puts us back in the lead, but 2 mins left Detroit tie it through Kotalik. Into OT we go, and 12 mins in its Brind'Amour with the crucial ot win to put us on the brink
Rangers3-1 Red Wings
Game5: I'm genuinely expecting a thumping here, and it is, a 7-2 win for the cup. Gretzky is held pointless for the third game in four! Shame way for his cup run to end, is that the end of his ridiculous career?
Gretzky ends with 50 points in the playoffs, Palffy and Mopdano get 37 for us.
Hart:Lemieux,
Conn Smythe-Gretzky(not sure about that!)
Norris-Lidstrom again
Calder-Justin Williams
Vezina-Roma Turek
