Pens goaltending and defense improves by one simple thing....if Malkin stops turning the puck over in their zone!

Honestly, I think the islanders played us a lot tougher than Ottawa will. Isles have a great young team that is quick and physical, I think they will be in the top 5 of the East next year.

Ottawa has what the Isles do not....Craig Anderson. I guess we will just have to see.

Happy with Sakic now running the show in Colorado.....now his 1st big decision, who's going to be coaching them....

Are the Caps and/or Bruins going to close out today? Excited for the game 7......

Hoping yes for the Caps and no for the Bruins, though I expect it to go the exact opposite. :-)

WTFRIG 5 minutes left in the 3rd and NBC cuts to some previously recorded studio crap and now they are doing a preview for ducks game 7... no "we are cutting away" nothing it went black and that was that. wow

Wings playing well. Someone tell Howard that head snap flop looked horrible though. Soccer player style. Not looking good for Ducks

Looks like the Hawks will need to wait for the Western Finals to play the Sharks, Mike. Looking forwqard to that series which I fully expect to happen.

That was for medical reasons...to keep our blood pressure down.
Bruins are playing softer then **** and look
to be getting ready for vacation.:-)

Leafs!! Will be a hell of a game tonight!

Funny doings....Leafs sleeping in Boston. Bruins still sitting on the tarmac in Toronto with plane trouble :-)

Oh no kidding hahaha! To be fair not giving u super sh!t as I've been a life long Leafs fan but also really like Boston so either one moving on is a good thing! Just want the Pens knocked out ASAP.

Western conference its going to be a shocker if the Blackhawks don't make it to the cup.

I was in LA for the cup at game 3 and 4 last year. Was amazin!

Glad Detroit pulled it out. Sharks Kings should be a fun serious. Just hope the Sharks don't get to banged up before getting to Chicago. I expect it to be pretty physical. Predicting Sharks in 6

Batting .500 with 2 series TBD... Ouch.... GO Leafs/Caps!!! 5-3 doesn't look TERRIBLE.... Not great, but not terrible....

Glad you didnt bet me the Wings series. I appear to be beating you.

As for tonight. I am really not sure about my Bs pick now.

Apparently so does the Hawks brass. They posted Conference Finals tickets up for sale first thing this morning. Strangely none for sale on the Wing's website. I couldn't call one out if both were doing it. :-)

I look forward to the series and not having to stay up till 1:30 AM to watch the end of each game. Thank the Lord we're moving east next year, although I will miss the frequent matchups against Chicago.

Honestly I thought the Wings were a coinflip to beat the Ducks. I think the Hawks will win this series I just hope the Wings can make it tough on them.


BTW, Mike I have been off CA for a bit but I knew you wouldn't pick the Wings to win a playoff series, even against the Ducks.

Mike, the Hawks do this every year. The first two rounds before the playoffs start, then the 3rd round before the 2nd round starts, and the SCF before the Conference Finals start....so it's no slight to the Wings, just a way for the Wirtz family to make some interest with the fans' money if they don't advance.

I don't think it will be an easy series by any means, I just think the Hawks match better with the Wings than the Sharks...plus no coast to coast travel this round is a plus.

No Rask love in boston ... the lynch mobs are already out.

Once again rask makes a stop and then is totally out of the play and gives up an easy goal, same story all year.

And God bless him for it :-)

IT really is amazing to watch him make a save and end up sprawled out on the ice 8 feet from the puck and leaving the entire net open...and he just freaking lays there.

I think BruinsFan on here is the only guy in the entire New England area that likes Rask. :-)
