I didn't care who won. I just wanted an exciting game like the rest of the series was. Washington just never showed up.

**dg806** · 05-14-2009, 10:31 PM

What a hell of an overtime game for the cardiac Canes! Walker put in the rebound to win the series. I'm pumped. Pittsburgh is going to be tough also.
Congrats to the Red Wings Phil. Maybe we will meet again!

**IainDaniel** · 05-15-2009, 07:32 AM

Canes I thought were done in OT. They looked gassed out there. But one lucky bounce and bam.

**dg806** · 05-15-2009, 08:42 AM

Really? I thought the Bruins looked tired. Carolina was much quicker than them on alot of shots. Carolina had several shots that could have won the game earlier by Stall.

**IainDaniel** · 05-15-2009, 09:21 AM

At the beginnning of the OT yeah Carolina looked better. But up until that goal, the play was predominantly in the Carolina zone.

How Ironic that walker scored though. Gotta leave a sour taste to the Bruins.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-17-2009, 02:00 PM

Red Wings in 5
Whalers in 7

**IainDaniel** · 05-17-2009, 04:19 PM

Detroit
Pitts

Scarface30 · 05-17-2009, 07:40 PM

it's kind of unfair now that Detroit has taken game 1, but I am going to say both Detroit and Pittsburgh in 7 games each.

**dg806** · 05-19-2009, 03:32 PM

Detroit and Carolina in 7.

**dg806** · 05-22-2009, 03:24 PM

Man, what a letdown last night. Carolina was up 3-2 after 1 period. Then they fell apart.
Malkin had an awesome game. So did crosby.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-22-2009, 03:36 PM

That third goal by Malkin was awesome.

The Chicago crowd is going to be apeshit tonight. Should be fun to watch. And I have burgers to grill and beer to drink.

Ditka.

it was! I bet he could not do it again.

Scarface30 · 05-23-2009, 11:47 AM

didn't see much of the game last night but I did catch the hit on Havlat. to me, it seemed pretty clean, but hard to tell. I don't think Kronwall deserved the punishment he was handed, that's for sure.

Yep looked good.

Havlat just had is head down and was receiving a blind side pass around the boards. He should be pissed at himself for not being prepared.

**IainDaniel** · 05-24-2009, 07:20 AM

Pitts looking pretty amazing.

**dg806** · 05-26-2009, 10:46 AM

If they win tonight, I don't think Detroit can beat them the way they are playing right now.

**IainDaniel** · 05-26-2009, 10:48 AM

That is a big leap.

Detroit has looked amazing. Not a chink in there armour.

**dg806** · 05-27-2009, 08:52 AM

Neither is Pittsburgh. They were just too much for Carolina. They are hitting on all cyclinders right now. You stop Malkin and Crosby last night and the other workers take up the slack. They are deep and don't have a weak link. I think Pittsburgh will take it.

**IainDaniel** · 05-27-2009, 03:08 PM

I don't think Pitts is as strong defensively as Detroit.

Fleury stood on his head last night again.

You know what they say now......offense wins games in the NHL. And anyone can score for them. They will be hard to beat. It may be a great series.
Fleury is awesome. He made some miraculous saves in that series.

**IainDaniel** · 05-27-2009, 03:50 PM

I hope it turns out to be a great series.

The last few have been dissappointing.

**I Are Baboon** · 05-27-2009, 04:21 PM

Detroit gets scoring from their fourth line. You cannot get deeper than that.

I hope Chicago gets fucking stomped tonight. They pissed me off last game.

Don't think that Pitts doesn't either.

The double shift Malkin and Crosby, they are just as deep 1 through 4.

The only glaring difference I see is on defense.

**dg806** · 05-28-2009, 08:57 AM

Chicago screwed up last night by letting Detroit have too many shots at goal. Hell give them as many as they did and they were bound to score. Detroit did a good job moving the puck and Chicago didn't. But Pitt moves it good also and gives them plenty of shots on goal. One of the guys on hockey central on Versus last night compared the teams and thought Pitt was better. We'll see.

Scarface30 · 05-28-2009, 06:57 PM

yeah, when they use Crosby or Malkin as a rotating 4th line centre, good things are bound to happen.

Datsyuk and Lidstrom might be out or at least playing injured, but they still have, oh.. Hossa, Zetterburg, Cleary, Franzen, Kronwall,... etc.. to pick up the slack.

hopefully it will be a good series. I'm routing for the Pens all the way.

**IainDaniel** · 05-30-2009, 08:06 AM

Gotta choose Detroit.

Even though I want Pitts to win.

Scarface30 · 05-31-2009, 12:56 PM

decent game last night. only watched until the 3rd though. too bad Pittsburgh lost, I have to say that Detroit got pretty lucky with those 2 goals. hopefully it doesn't affect Fleury too much, Pittsburgh played pretty decent.

Osgood played exceptionally well too. crazy they made the schedule a back to back for the first 2 games in Detroit, that's gotta be tough.

Thank NBC for that one. Even though they don't pay a dime to the NHL, they dictate the schedule.
