bull****, i think it was rigged.... Bob Hartley (Avs coach) and Therien (Montreal coach) both have something against betman or the league... theyre both real good friends and i think theyre trying to send a message to the league... notice how both game 7's of mtl and col. were blow outs? 7-0 and 8-2, i mean... montreal could have easily taken it from carolina when they were up 3-2 and same with colorado... its hard to explain it over a keyboard, but if either mtl or col. were pressured into blowing the series by the league, how else are u gonna show frustration? by making it a horrible game, to lose by a big margin, lose the viewers after the first 5mins of the game and thus losing large sums of money in viewing

Now that's funny, and was Toronto told to blow all 3 games in overtime after they tied the game with less then 20 seconds left in the third period each time?

[Legolas]

bayrider, with respect, this isn't Basketball. Every team wanted the cup, they just couldn't manage it. =-P

You are doing those teams an extreme disservice by trying to claim setup, as much as I hate Hartley I know he is above throwing a game. The Avs ran out of gas, that simple.

I had hoped for a Toronto / Detroit game but rest at ease, we will vanquish the 'canes.

[CoLdFuSi0n]

Who cares about the playoffs Toronto is out and there is no Canadian team

[OrangesOfCourse]

uhh.. i have no idea who they are but:

GO RED WINGS

:D :D :D

[redrope]

Yea I think that the Red Wings will win even tho I really dont want them to. They are like an All-Star team which is very unfair..

In all honesty, Detroit is a huge Hockey Market, thus they have a lot of money to spend, same with the New York Rangers...

Even though a lot of these guys came to Detroit because they wanted a cup, not because of the money, many of them took paycuts just to come to Detroit...

Nope! Agreed!

GO RED WINGS!!!!!

[DrunkenMaster]

Go Sens Go! - Oh they lost.

Go Leafs Go! - No they're out now too.

Go Canadians Go! - No they're out too.

Sigh, I wish a Canadian team was in the Finals this year. With any luck, maybe all the Canadian teams can merge into one great team with all the Canadian hockey starts then we *own* the cup for a long time.

Ahhh, well guess I'll have to say this year Go Red Wings Go!

Besides, for those Canadians that read this: http://www.thoughtviper.com/inexob/canada.html

you now know that Toronoto and Michigan are the same. So cheering for the Wings is sort of like cheering for the Leafs.
