THN.com Logo Tournament: Semifinals

Zoom Image

Don’t mess with Quebec.

After the Chicago Blackhawks – nearly everyone’s pre-tournament pick as eventual champion – and the North Dakota Fighting Sioux jumped out to what we believed to be insurmountable leads in the early days of voting in the quarterfinals, a weekend push from the French contingent ushered both the Montreal Canadiens and Rimouski Oceanic into the semis of THN.com’s 2008 logo tournament.

This turnabout is sure to have some scratching their heads, but when the fans speak, there’s no choice but to listen.

Perhaps surprisingly, only two NHL clubs remain now that we’ve reached the final four. And since Detroit and Montreal faceoff in the semifinals, we’re assured of either a QMJHL or ECHL squad making the final two.

Will the ‘Q’ continue to vote in droves or will the underdog Ontario Reign, who finished sixth in our original rankings, continue their run?

Incase you were wondering, the Canadiens finished third and the Red Wings second in our initial NHL rankings, while the Oceanic topped the Quebec League list.

Whichever logo or team you’re pulling for, the time to vote is now. Click HERE to lay down your selection and help push it into the final.

*Voting ends 9 a.m. EST on Sept. 29.

Hmmm....its seems to me...that happened with only 3 MINUTES left in the THIRD PERIOD, therefore he did play....and if he didn't play how did he manage to get a puck in the face in the first place? So what your saying is that detroit sucks without lindstrom there for the last 3 minutes? Good team spirit there. Can't beleive you don't trust your teams veterans to take on a bunch of AHL rookies and win...

MTLFTL, last time I checked Lidstrom didn't play because Higgins intentionally threw a puck into his face. You bunch of cheap shot artists will have your day, and let me tell you, you are aren't even close to being tough enough.

Gee i wonder if the Habs beat detroit last night......nothing to say whoever said montreal would get swept? I mean thats a bit embaressing....the players who scored the goals in regulation.....I don't even know who they are and i've been a fan for many years. So we used our farm team and played against your veterans and we won? imagine if we actally used koivu, kostitsyn, plekanace, kovalev, tanguay etc?

Thats true, i look at the detroit roster of who played last night and I see names of, LIDSTROM, DATSYUK, CHELIOS, RAFALSKI, DRAPER, HOSSA, HOLMSTROM, CONKLIN. I glace over at the MTL roster and who do I see....LANG (untested in mtl) CHIPCHURA ( last time i looked he was still playing for the AHL) TROTTER (same situation as Chipchura) WYMAN (never seen him before) HIGGINS ( the best player on the roster which isn't saying much when he was ranked 7th on mtl for points last season) and all 6 players with more points didn't play that game. So who won that game? where was teh sweep I heard you det fans talking about?
