Plus Corson, Hawerchuk, and Courtnall. I think that team failed because their goaltending wasn't so hot (Fuhr, a washed up Jon Casey and Bruce Racine). Injuries slowed them down somewhat, also.

It's not worth talking to one of the most relentless homers this side of the Rockies.

It was also after Hull/Gretzky fell off and before Pronger became good. They barely had Gretzky, he was a deadline acquisition who left in the offseason. They were huge underdogs against the Red Wings who was the best regular season team since 77 so it wasnt surprising to anyone that they lost (and it was surprising that they got to Game 7 OT).

Could someone tell a non-anglo about homerism? I know what the term means, but from where does it come from? Homer Simpson is the only homer I know but is this something older?

Homer as in home team. A Homer is someone that is completely biased for their own team.

You're over thinking it. Broadcasters who openly cheer for the local, or home team are homers.

Your home team is always right and can do no wrong. Home team. Homer.

If they can win four rounds without Letang and with Maf in the net for some/all of it you might as well shut down hockey

another BOS/MTL series would be pretty good, but so would OTT/MTL, and also gently caress the bruins, so go Sens

Either would make a worth ECF. As a round two those series would spoil us.
Although Sens/Habs would be pretty good too. Not as bloody.

the crosby-dubinsky matchup doesn't seem to be going that great for cbj considering dubinsky's taken a bunch of dumb penalties against crosby that the penguins subsequently scored on and he was on the ice when crosby worked the jackets behind the net to set up the OT winner

He has no business being as good as he is. I know he has just as much of a chance to come crashing down next season but right now he and Sheary are playing like Sid-lite and that's something we've never seen in terms of his line composition.
For some reason we've been sticking him for years with these crash-bang meathead sorts and surprise, it's not the most effective use of his talents.
