You know it...Brutal West battles in the first round. Should be great hockey

[rpncaine]

I'm ready! Go Wings!

Too bad CBJ couldn't knock of the evil Pen's last night.

Tampa is in deep sh1t if they don't get Bishop back in goal. And they need to controll their blue line and shoot more. So we just need better goaltending, defense, and offense. No problem.

Lindback is atrocious. It's literally a heart attack moment everytime the puck gets remotely close to the net. Big win for the Habs last night.

You wouldn't harm a midget, would you?

I like hockey. Not too terribly knowledgeable about it, but I enjoy it.

I am a Ranger fan and always will be. But living here in Denver for this year's Avs squad has me fired up for the playoffs. That game last night was just what is needed to kickoff the best (and longest) tournament in all of sport!

I dont hate them. That feeling is reserved for the penguins....

But im not a fan of theirs, i thought patrick roy acted a fool early on, and i dont care for the goalie.
Id prefer chi, st louis, or anaheim over them....la kings too

That Seabrook hit on Backes was one of the most vicious I've EVER seen. Puck wasn't there, Backes did seem to see him coming at the last second, but nothing he could do to protect himself. Although it was a shoulder hit, and Seabrook has no priors, I expect he won't play again, at least in this series.

1st time offender, this country, i mean this league won't throw the book at him. A game, 2 MAX. Either way, it's a huge blow, both games the Hawks fail to hold the lead, and finish them off, nobody to blame but themselves for both games.
They're really going to have to tilt the ice at home, i mean dominate in order to get some confidence back after those 2 OT losses.

How about the AVS? i can't tell if they're for real or minny is just not there yet.
and i don't know what's happening with the rest of the west b/c i don't think hockey should be played in the state of California, brah!!!

They play hockey in California?

It's a Phone Hearing from what I just heard, so that puts a limit on the possible suspension. Seabrook said he didn't mean to hurt Backes, and I believe him, but that doesn't change what I saw.

[Danzig]

Yep, phone hearing so that typically indicates only 1 or 2 games. Hate it for backes. A bit surprised that stl is up 2 0.

I am in the odd position of pulling for the rangers this series....not a fan but would rather see them advance then philly.

I think minn isnt there yet, tampa either.




Edit...just got an alert, 3 games

[declansharbor]

Flyers w/ the big split.

Let's go boys! Knock the white off their jerseys in games 3 & 4!

No idea what the next few weeks will bring, but have been waiting for quite some time for a team with what looks like a real chance to get somewhere in the postseason.

Haven't been this excited about a team in a decade at least.

3 games....... that's a lot

i have to think backes is going to be out for a while, and that factored in, for a first time abuser like Searbooke

what is going on with the kings?
