Wow I'm surprised the defending champs went down so easily.

[Laughing-Man]

The Flyers game was awesome. Esche is the man!

[BMac]

Dallas is out!

[Cara Veteran]

Vokoun who?

Wings in '04!

[Steffan]

if the Flames finish off the Canucks tonight, then the second round will have Wings/Flames and Avs/Sharks

The Avs/Sharks should be the better of the two series

The Canucks will win tonight. They have an amazing record when facing elimination.

Not a bad game by the Wings, but they won't go far if they don't take advantage of the power play and stop commiting silly penalties.

I"m really looking forward to seeing a Wings/Avs series in Western Conference Finals :) :)

C'mon Avs! The Stars got the first goal (don't they always?) but that was it. The Avalanche came back and pwned their ass.

Without Dany they're farked. :p

Boston vs Montreal. Tied 1-1. My problem is that I don't know who to root for.

Generally speaking, I'll usually take the Canadian team over a US team. However, in this case, if Montreal wins then they play Tampa (#8 is eliminated so #1 would play #7) and Toronto (#4) would play Phily (#3) should Toronto be able to win one of the next two vs Ottawa. I'd MUCH rather Toronto play Tampa because they are a less physical team. If Toronto beats Tampa then they'd be in good shape for the conference final (against Boston or Phily). Even if Toronto could beat Phily it would take a lot out of them and I'd rather then not grind themselves down too soon (we're an old team after all).

So I guess Montreal should win tonight (it's always best if every other series goes to 7), then for the Leafs to win tomorrow (no need for our series to go to seven) and then for Boston to win on Monday. Sorry, that's just the way the cards have been dealt. If it were possible for Toronto to play Montreal in the forseeable future then I'd go with that but I don't see both Toronto beating Phily AND Montreal beating Tampa.

Does that make sense?

If the Canucks come back against the Flames then Detroit would play the Avs in the next round.

Otherwise Detroit will play the Flames next and have to hope that the Avs beat San Jose to force the Detroit-Colorado Western Conference Final. That's assuming that the #1 team can beat Calgary first.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

I would rather montreal make it than the leafs :p

[Laughing-Man]

I am going to have to go with Philadelphia because they are looking pretty damn good.

[Joel]

the habs have a long way to go. its do or die. Bruins will win the next game. i promise!

:yes:

Bzzzzt! Wrong answer. :p

[Toxikk Veteran]

[Hankyone]

And that's a mighty big assumption there my friend. Don't think so fast. The Flames will have something to say to that.

The Flames have to win THIS series first. The let Vancouver score 4 in a row and then they come back with three of their own. Yes, they've got one more game in Vancouver, if necessary, but you don't want to have to go there.

My point is if the Flames advance then the Wings will have their hands full.
