Thanks for getting us a win, Jim! I will be at the UC tomorrow night trying to see them close it out. :-)

Understood, Mike, you just can't root for a team you hate....it would be like me rooting for the Casucks against anyone. I would root for a team of Hitlers over Vancouver.

I think the Hawks would have an easier time with the Wings, a less physical team than SJ. Niemi is playing great, as are Couture, Galiardi (sp?), even Torres. It will come down to getting behind the SJ defense and putting a lot of rubber on Niemi, and trying to "outspeed" a speedy SJ offense. Should be a good, tough series, much tougher for the Hawks than in 2010....sure wish we had Big Byfuglein back. :-)

Dude the soft pick is becoming part of hockey it seems, the canucks run them CONSTANTLY and they aren't even that soft, when the cansmucks are on a PP they are running the pick and there's a decent amount of contact going on, not one call.

Vokoun is playing well.... Pens are responding.

Congrats to Craig Anderson and the Senators for moving along (handily) to Round 2.

Great night at the U.C. too....12 to go.

Fun season for the Wild but I have never seen a team so much in need of a scorer. We have to have set the record for scoring chances without scoring. Still glad to make the playoffs and excited to see all the good, you g talent we have waiting for next year.

Congrats to the Wild for a good season, they just ran into a buzzsaw, Pete.

Won't argue that.

Now win the damn cup so we can at least lose to the champs!

Vokounnnnnnnnn!!!!!

Damn...maybe now we found a goalie that could be good in the post season as well! :-)

Told ya not to count us out Tom! Oh, and best of luck in the second round brother :-)

:-) :-)

I wasn't serious when I said the Isles would win, Cole, Pens have so much fire-power. Vokoun looks like he might be the answer. Still impressed with the fight the Islanders have put up, though.

Islanders are def not laying down and dying, like I hope the leafs do tonight :-)

I agree Isles will fight tonight I think the leafs will also.


Congrats to the Hog and the Hawks on a very dominant showing.

Looking like it will probably be Hawks-Sharks semi-finals, Mike. :-)

Meh had to end for Sharks sooner or later like every year. As I have said before if they have to go out I dont mind it being to a team I also like. The boy is allready trash talking a little. Nothing like a 7yr old talking trash

Datsyuk has butter hands....

Crap performance by the Bs tonight.
The leafs played their game
but if the bruins played in the first or second for even 5 min
Like they did in the last 10 of the 3rd

This series is done
:-)

My two least favorite teams are both golfing tomorrow. :-)

Awesome picture :-)

vokoun was pretty good. We need something better than Nabby backed up by poulin. we need insert name here ---> Backed up by Nabby next year.
Whether the Isles win or lose this series I am, after the last twenty yeaow rs so happy with 1. how we performed this season and 2. how stocked our prospect pool is (hell some of our best players aren't even up in the bigs yet) 3. the future of this franchise.

LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!!!

Great season by the Islanders, they should come back even stronger next year.

If the Pens goaltending and defense don't improve, I think the Sens will beat them.
