The Wild are going down in flames as we speak.

The Blackhawks have momentum but if they were running on adrenaline it may have been used up. Goaltending will make or break game 7

And now we're down to 11 teams

The two best teams are going to be playing each other... in the 2nd round?? Something is not quite right.

PENS in 6

Pretty well the same scenario every *&%$en year :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yeah I hear ya. Too bad they won't just let the best two play for the cup regardless of conference.

Blue / Hawks game was incredible. Can't wait to see the Preds and the Ducks go into game 7.

That was great entertainment. Blues were full value, they earned the win.

Another incredible game 7: especially 3rd period Preds / Ducks
If that didn't get your heart racing you've got no heartbeat.

Another one bites the dust:

There's a lot of talk about the big Cindy vs Ovi series. We shall see.

In other news: Bergeron, Kesler, Kopitar named Selke finalists (you know who I'm rooting for).

Cindy vs Ovi....hmmmm. I don't really have solid reasons to boo Ovi whereas I really don't like Cindy. So I'll just need to go with the Caps.

For some reason, I like it that three of the regular post season teams in the West have been knocked out. I'm particularly happy for Jay Bouwmeester.

I might even watch some games. :)

I like the fact that the wildcard teams are hanging in there. (Predators and Islanders)
Good for them...

Maybe John Tavares can carry the Islanders to the next round. He is the best post-season player so far.

St. Loo sure exposed Dallas last night. Conventional wisdom being - 'you can't win with a tandem net-minder situation'. Preds did a number on the "Hosers" as well (Rinne being 'lights-out') which should make this series more interesting. Caps should even things up this evening with Letang out serving his suspension.

Sad to see the Isles go down in flames like that. They just didn't show up.

In the meantime, the Preds, Stars, & the Caps are on an uphill climb. I don't see the Preds making it. The Caps have the potential but if they stall for just a minute the Pens will rush in and it will be game over. That triple OT of the Preds was a thriller. A buddy of mine was there and lost his voice cheering.

Isles aren't good enough. Two good forwards, two good D.

The rest are bit players.

Hey Joe
Shouldn't the "X" on the Dallas caricature be shifted to Perry's baleful countenance? Not to worry - St. Loo gonna do them guys tonight.

How bad do you have to be to NOT make the NHL playoffs?

no wonder the post-season lasts 4 months.

Good catch. All those Western Conference teams look alike...

Fixed it.

Who thinks the Caps have a chance? Is the Ovi Post Season Curse coming to pass?
