It's the old what have you done for me lately deal.

Sox is going to be 5 years removed from their championship this October, currently 6 games under .500 (understood still alot of basebalfl to be played)

Cubs 5 games under .500 and seem to have a ton of issuses

Bulls, can honestly say I haven't watched that much basketball in a while, but it just didn't seem like the Bulls generated that much as a buzz as far as being a sleeper team that could go deep into the playoffs. Besides, didn't they just fire their coach anyway?

I'm not saying they don't suck now, but there were some good teams in the past and that's why I was surprised to read about the ratings.
And yes, this is offically beat to death..(need an emicon for that)

The FlyGuys sure picked a HELL of a time to be playing their best ball of the year. Backs to the wall.

I still say, and many agree, that their best game of the series was game 3 when they lost 4-1. They outplayed them in every facet, except goaltending. Rask was standing on his head early on in the series, but looks pedestrian as of late.

[MaTH716]

Ouch, the Bruins blow a 3-0 lead and lose to the Flyers.

[slotdirt]

Blow a 3-0 series and 3-0 lead in game seven. That is not easy to do.

[ARyan]

What an incredible Stanley Cup playoffs.

Bruins simply laid over. Watching the last 10 mins of the 3rd, Philly outworked the B's handily.

Who would have thought 7-8 for the conference final?

Habs in 5.

[Heels1989]

Melrose called the loss the worst in franchise history. Can't say I disagree. That was brutal.

[declansharbor]

I'm JUST about to lay down until about 4.

What a game. What a timeout by Laviolette. Boston had it's glory on thursday night. All-time choke, both in game and series.

The easy thing to say now is that the Stanley Cup is being played between Sharks and Hawks...The Hawks owned the East this year, but that miracle win by the Flyers will still be fresh. I just don't see the Habs keeping this up...

Flyers vs Hawks

OMG..

Hawks in 5

Mike...fire away

Habs match up well with many teams. They have guys who can score and the can play very defenisive at times (almost full lockdown mode). And if Halak could somehow continue to play to his current form, the Habs have a big shot to win it all.

[rpncaine]

Nothing like a hot goaltender to make your defense better. I love the way this is playing out. Stanley Cup playoffs are the most exciting thing going in sports this time of year. I personally can't stand the NBA and have never been a big baseball fan (Cubs fan) so the idea of the Habs playing in the finals would be cool. That city goes nuts for their team and it would be good to see them have a resurgance.

[Danzig]

i really think the habs go to the finals. i don't think the flyers will be able to beat them.
told my son i thought the west would win the cup.

The Flyers really looked good last night. But it's just game one.

Hard to believe stat - during the playoffs, Montreal has lost very game that they have out shot their opponents.

Thankfully, Jack Brickhouse never called the Blackhawk games.

A renowned booze fighter, whore monger and general good guy about town, Brickhouse was a raconteur extraordinaire for the Chicago Cubs during a 30+ year broadcasting career of the most god-awful baseball ever sustained by one team in the history of major league baseball.

Brickhouse and Irv Kupcinet teamed up for several years on WGN radio going Chicago Bears football games and in so doing formed the most inept broadcast team in professional football history.
The duo reached their zenith on a frigid December afternoon at Wrigley Field in the mid-1960's when the Bears lined up to kick a game-winning field goal against their arch rivals, the much-hated Green Bay Packers. Mac Percival, who earlier that year gained Chicago Bear immortality when one of his field goal attemts hit his center square in the ass, came onto the field for an unheard-of attempt of 42 yards. A converted lineman, Percival was challenged both by distance and accuracy by any kick greater than a 100 feet.
While everyone in a five state area listening to the broadcast knew that the Bears were kicking for the win, the two broadcasters airing the event somehow missed that fact. Both 'professionals' were mystified both by the fact that not only were the Bears trying a 42 yard extra point, but also by the fact that the phantom touchdown eluded them. Demonstrating their unique pigskin acumen, Brickhouse and Kupcinet began screaming from the broadcast booth to the referees somewhere below that the game should be over because of the "game-winning" touchdown. It mattered not to Brickhouse or Kupcinet that between them and the referees were two decks and 40,000 delirious fans. The integrity of the game dictated that they should alert the refs to the crime about to be committed.
As Percival's kick miraculously sailed through the uprights for a Bears victory not one person across the Midwest dialed into WGN heard "the call". Precisely as the kicked was launched, Brickhouse managed to drop his binoculars from the booth down below onto the melon of an Andy Frain usher, creasing the poor bastard's skull and sending him to the emergency room with a concussion.
A legend, indeed. You just don't get that kind of a call from today's talking heads.
