Pronger suspended for a game. That will be a huge blow, not including Chris Kunitz who is already out for the playoffs with a broken bone in his hand.

Buffalo survives another day, but I can't see them winning the next 3.

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

THank god they won, after watching game 3 I was pretty worried. Lets hope they take the next one too...

[Arbiter]

It stinks that Detroit lost last night as a Wings fan, but in a larger sense, this feels like an epic series, and I think it could be great for the sport if the series goes 7 games.

I think the Pronger suspension was justified, but I don't think it was cut and dry. I gotta respect the Ducks, they seem to be handling the ruling with a fair amount of class (there's a presser link to Brian Burke talking about it on the Versus site)...

Ya, Detroit/Ducks is turning out to be a great series. If they can maintain a similar team, or at least good teams for some years, maybe we'll have another Avalanche/Red Wings rivalry on our hands!

OTTAWA WINS HELL YEA, 3000 in my pocket :D /me dances

[R-Flex]

I really wanted Buffalo to win; I hate Ottawa. Oh well. Let's hope that Detroit or Anaheim can beat them.

[CoLdFuSi0n]

LOL not likely

[R-Flex]

You don't believe a Western team can win?

[Fred Derf Veteran]

You don't believe a Western team can win?

The series is tied 2-2. The best case scenario would be a 4-2 (6 game) finish and the chances are fairly high that it will go to a deciding 7th game.

The two western teams may be so glad they survived the conference final that they may not have enough gas to defeat Ottawa.

[bayrider]

I dont think Anaheim or Detroit can take Ottawa... unfortunately. The only pleasure I take in Ottawa winning is that it's a knife in the back of Leafs fans.

I'm still pulling for the Ducks though.

3-2 Ducks taking the series at home on Tuesday :D

[R-Flex]

Oh, I have my doubts too. I just want Anaheim to win.

Too bad I had to work today. I missed the whole game.

[rajputwarrior]

woo ducks. and are you kidding me anaheim will easily take ottawa

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

That was a really good 3rd and OT. I unfortunately missed the rest of the game. It seems in this series that the Ducks have the ability to completely control the game, but are having some off nights. I suppose that kind of takes credit away from detroit, who have been doing a good job as well. Either way I am hoping for Anaheim to take it.

Ottawa is a good enough team, and I wouldn't be ****ed if they won, but I am cheering for Anaheim.

[Ayepecks]

Ugh... Detroit's gone with this score.

Sad that they could be in the exact opposite position right now.

[Deathray]

Holy ****... Detroit is throwing everything at the ducks... this is insane

That was a fantastic 3rd period... or at least the last 10 minutes

damn

So it's a ducks sens final. Hopefully i can finally watch some hockey as i have no work next week so no reason to get up early :)

It's a tough call but im gonna go with the Sens to win in 6, however i want the ducks to win so i hope im wrong (as i have been with most of my predictions this year :p )

[Sub_Zero_Alchemist]

Nice, it's the Ducks vs the senators.. im going to say Ducks take it in 5.. let's see if the Ducks can bring home the cup to Southern CA.....

[Boffa Jones Veteran]

Awesome game! Now, the ducks just have to throw everything at the Sens, and hopefully break them in the first game.

[BroChaos Veteran]

congrats to the ducks.

i'm gonna say ducks in 7.

[rajputwarrior]

i think ducks in 6

[rajputwarrior]

kelly hrudey, idiot, "anaheim is not coming back" glad he ate his words

[u_diddy]

GO SENS GO!!!!!!

[Favvi]

say what? isn't the game still in the 3rd :unsure:

[u_diddy]

I thought I was psychic. Can a mod changet this to Sens lose in regulation- Ducks up 2-0.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Seriously, WTF is going on with Ottawa? This is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, I don't mind the Ducks winning, but what the hell happened to the Senators? They're not playing like they had been lately.
