What a finish to the NYR/Caps game. Wow.

So who do you guys like for the finals? And who does Bettman and the league want in?

[champu 1]

I have Chicago vs Tampa in the finals.

[skyjumpenfool 2]

Chicago will not make it past Minnesota.

I am not a Ducks fan. I am still cheering on the Habs. But I am beginning to wonder if anyone will be able to take down those quackers. Time will tell of course ... Ducks and Caps need 11 wins to sip from Lord Stanley while everyone else needs 12. It is a long road ahead for all those still in the hunt.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Yes... I did! I still like this team. Their fast and have heart. It all comes down to the goalie....

I hate that the Ducks look as good as they do.

Just remember Boston and LA missed the playoffs so it could always be worse.

[grimmie 186]

I feel your pain. I had to golf with one of my fireman pals Friday. He had his Mighty Quackers of the Suburbs gear on and heckled me about the Kings and Pens for 18.

[grimmie 186]

The Flames had the Ducks right where they wanted them, and then a bad penalty. Too many young guy mistakes for the Flames. Damn.

[xsniper 1]

The Lighting need to end this thing tonight or next game and not end up in a game 7 again.

Habs win. Series is heading back to Tampa for game #6.

The Ducks just beat the hell out of the Flames those last two periods.

And didn't let them out of their own end in OT.

Go HAWKS!!!

I agree. Go Hawks.

Ovie called his shot...wrong. He's no Messier

Ovi meets the minimum qualifications to assume the captaincy of the Sharks. I wonder whether Doug Wilson is trying to get a trade done.

Well my fellow puckers. It's time!

A few questions to start the season....
After SO much hockey in three years (including a few Olympians), will the LA Kings be burned out come playoff time? Burned down.

Will Barry Trotz get the Caps dialed in? Almost!

Will the Pens flourish or flounder under the new regime? Injuries.

Will the Canucks have a better season with Ryan Miller in goal and get to the playoffs? Yup!

Will Colorado thrive without Statsny? Nope!

Will the Blues have more firepower with him and go deep in the playoffs? Nope!

Will the Hawks get to the finals after doing a slow simmer about the conference final loss?

Will the Rangers make a run, or will Montreal or Tampa Bay fight it out in the East with the Pens? Yup!

Finals prediction...LA Kings vs Pittsburgh Penguins! Hmmmm....oops!

Good luck everyone!!!

A little something to get you in the mood...

So who do you guys like for the Cup?

I want the Rangers to win. Lundqvist needs a Cup before he retires.

I want the Rangers to win.

Agreed. They're the least-objectionable (to me) team left.
Also want Babcock to stay in Motown.

I've got Tampa Bay vs Hawks. Rangers are much better than last year but not enough.

I'm really excited about this Ducks/Hawks finals. Both teams are jn beast mode. Ducks are 8-1 in the playoffs. Hawks are 8-2 and coming off a sweep. If I was a gambling man I wouldn't touch this series. I could see it going I to 2OT in game seven. I can see the Ducks sweeping I can see the Hawks sweeping. Roszival out for the Hawks hurts but I have to give the edge to them because it's also a battle between Quenneville and Boudreau. One has demonstrated success. The other one is the Schottenheimer of the NHL.

As much as I like seeing Babcock as coach, I think I'd like to see the Griffin's coach moved into Babcock's position. What he has done for the Griffins, makes me wonder what he could do for the Wings. With Babcock testing the waters, I think that's what it's all about with him... the money.

[grimmie 186]

Ducks/Hawks will be epic. Both of them are stinging from Kings losses in dramatic fashion.

This will be like most series, but even more so, down to the goalies.

Edge Hawks. Just slightly.

Who are the Wings going to hire now?

[xsniper 1]

Looks like the Lighting are hanging in there. Many said they did not belong and that the Rangers would destroy them.....well....not yet. Those Triplets are tuff.
