13L G40 Stalingradski (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies+8)

[Stalingradski]

I can’t wait for tonight’s game - but the Pens should be feared - they’re very dangerous.

that’s kind of like saying cow is dangerous player lol…  well sure, if you can’t ever hit him on defense he can be dangerous  :roll:

[Stalingradski]

Now be nice…  :-D

The Bruins have exposed the Penguins for what they are - top heavy offensive team that hasn’t had to respond to being punched in the face this season. Their defense is average at best, same with goaltending.

But… sometimes teams get punched a few times and respond very well. We don’t know if this Pittsburgh team has the character to make this into a series, but until the Bruins win four, I’ll be wary.

[boldfresh]

bruins 3-0???  pens are punchless, this one is over in 4.

[Stalingradski]

It’s amazing. I still can’t believe Campbell skating around on the PK with a broken leg.

[boldfresh]

looks like a hawks bruins final.  :-D

[Stalingradski]

Give me a quick scouting report on the Hawks - I don’t know much about them - what are their strengths and weaknesses?

[Stalingradski]

I didn’t recognize that it was my turn here Bold  :-)

I got caught up in all the hockey talk.

@Stalingradski:

Hawks are a pretty complete team and both teams are really hot.  Should be a great series.  I will be at game 2.

[Stalingradski]

Nice!! What a great opportunity for you.

I’ve read a bunch about Chicago, and it’ll be a very tall task for the Bruins. The thing that worries me is that they are mirror images of each other in terms of style and coaching, but I think your team is a little better all around and has home ice. The Bruins will need skill and luck to win the series.

I’ll bet it goes 7 games because they’re so evenly matched and playing well - and I think Chicago will win. No reverse jinxes or anything like that - they just seem like the better team, by just a little, at every key position.

[boldfresh]

geez my boys can’t hit nothin!  :-)  got one bomber anyway, that makes up for the misses for sure.

[Stalingradski]

I had some editing trouble, but worked it out.

I had some bombing trouble over London as well…  :|

Getting two bombers shot down there over the past two turns, minus the damage they could have done, is hurting the strat I’m pursuing…

Not that I don’t expect to lose a bomber 1 out of 6 bombing runs.

[boldfresh]

well, you got an aircraft back there with a 5/6 infantry performance!

now, do you want to mess with the anzac cruiser from HELL???  :-P

[boldfresh]

i almost took in one more infantry too and i thought…. comeon bold, you’re being way too conservative.  but no, i was not.  :-o

[Stalingradski]

I complained too early…  :-)

Overall this seems like a pretty even game so far with luck, if I remember right… though I’m nervous about tackling Australian cruisers…

[Stalingradski]

It was my turn and I hadn’t checked the site in a couple days… I’ll probably take the turn tomorrow evening ~

@Stalingradski:

absolutely no rush at all.  i have a baby coming any moment (due the 14th) so take your time.  :-)

could this be the greatest Stanley Cup matchup of our lifetime?
