I'm watching the Pens-Sens game (5) & the Senators are owning the second, I guess years of playoff frustration can do that to you. Now that nobady picked them to go past the second round at best, they playing with nothing to lose, they seem to be sick of choking when they were the playoffs favorite but the game is only halfway done.

I have to admit a sabres-sens conf. final would be good to see after the home & home series back in March or Febuarary when fiht broke out in both game after a cheap hit (I think) in the first game of the home & home. I remember the sabres put out a scoring lines after the hit and the Sens (Or it could be the other way around, but it was amazing to watch) put out an enforcer line to cause havoc.

Looks like the pens are out 1:30 to go and down 3-0, they'll be back next year, the talent for them is scary!!!!! Wait until Sid, Stall, Malkin, Whitney & Fleury mature in the playoffs

yeah, they will be a force.

Rangers/Sens should be a good series, both teams look very good

Assuming the Sens don't revert to their old ways, they will destroy the Rags. Atlanta was the worst two seed, maybe ever.

Go Sens Go! 1 series down, 3 to go. Great game today, if the Penguins had taken advantage of the 6 minutes straight of power plays, the game might have been different. After the Sens killed those off you could see the momentum shift. Bring on one of the NY area teams in round 2!

So much for a Wild/Canucks re-match...:frown: I don't think the same team showed up last night. What a frickin' mess! HOW CAN YOU NOT SCORE ON A 3-ON-5?!?!?!:mad: Very disappointing when compared to Tuesday's game... Powerplays were the difference. I can't believe the Wild were 2-27 on the PP. Lame...

Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens in the off season. We've got a few older (albeit great) players in Carney, Walz, and Rolston - they'll want to keep Rolston for sure, but he might cost too much. He wants to stay here though, so we'll see. I love Carney & Walz, but wouldn't be a bit surprised if they retire. That said, they can still play the game. I'd love to see Willy Mitchell come back to MN though - I HATE seeing him in a Vancouver sweater!!

Our goalie situation will be interesting. Last year we had Ferrnandez and Roloson, now it'll be Fernandez, Backstrom, and Harding. One will have to go, and I think it might be Manny. Backstrom had an AMAZING season for all intents and purposes - he's the future of the Wild I think, and Harding is good enough to start for a lot of teams. Manny has had problems on and aff the last few years - I don't think he'll be back.

Congrats to Sens fans. They look better than they ever have before in the playoffs. Next one against Buffalo (I assume) will probably be tougher. Emery looks great too. Should be a good one.

Flames-Wings series is looking much better than I thought it was going to be!

Not sure how I feel about "re-seeding" the teams after each round. I think I prefer the bracket approach...

So if the Devils survive, they'll either play the Islanders or the Senators pending the outcome of the Sabres-Islanders series?

Goddamn Wings.

On one hand it took the Flames two 5 on 3's to beat them last night and some of the worst reffing I have ever seen in game 3, but on the other hand the Wings can self destruct with the best of them. And their power play is beyond inneffective right now.

They better get it together on Sat.

I would like to thank the Penguins for bowing out early. If I heard any more Sidney Crosby dicksucking I was gonna hurl. This is hockey, goddammit, not football - this is a team sport.

I just want to comment on the fact that you used the icon featuring a Penguins jersey to show your support for the Flames avatar.:p

Here's hoping that Flames don't continue the total Jekyll & Hyde performance in Detroit tomorrow. I also really want to see what happens when (hopefully) the Canucks come up against San Jose or Anaheim after watching some of the Dallas series. Calgary / Vancouver WCF would be amazing.

I like the re-seeding format, but I almost wish they'd go to a 1-16 format for making the playoffs but that kills some of the playoff rivalries.

It's always highest plays lowest. It gets complicated, but if/when Buffalo wins, they could play tampa if they win (since they're 7th), or the Rangers (6th overall). If the Devils win, it would be Sabres/Rangers & Devils/Senators.

I would like to think that the Islanders continue their post season tonight. However, I think it is more likely that Yashin will continue his streak as one of the highest paid underperformers in the post season. Probably will be another close loss. 14 years without getting out of the 1st round, Trots where have you gone?

God damn I can't believe I didn't think of using that icon in a few of my posts in this thread. :nonono2:

Oh well better late than never.

Being a Detroit band I guess that's where they got the name for their album.
