Totally cool Mike. :-)

Congrats to your son, Mike :-)

I'll definitely be tuning in to the Hawks/Preds game tonight. I'm looking for a Blackhawk victory.

Two goals for Giroux in the 2nd. Flyers up 3-0. :-)

SENS WIN!!!!! what a game :-)

*big sigh*

Well...there is 5.5 left, but that was just UGLY.....

Time to focus on game 6 to send it to 7......

Congrats to the Flyers on being the 1st team to advance. :-)

Sens keep hope alive! :-)

Sharks grab a 3-2 series lead and are in the drivers seat...though I feel awful for Craig.

Hawks' Niemi shuts out the Preds for a second time, but I still don't think the Hawks played great...I look for "great" on Saturday.

Thanks for the positive comments about Micah guys. It has been awesome this year watching him develop and begin to grasp game concepts as we approach the end of his first season. This past week when he got his second goal he finally realized if he went to the front of the net kept his stick on the ice head up and waited for a pass he would score. Something dad has been telling him for weeks. He almost got a second goal that night. Something about watching your child begin to understand what to do and think out there thats so amazing!


As to tonights action. My pics went 2 for 3 again tonight with OT screwing my 3 for 3 bid again. Talk about a clutch win for the Sens. Former Shark with the game winner in triple OT.

Awesome win for the Flyers! They were my pic from the east this year, but they didnt have the regular season I expected. Bouch former Sharks goalie with the win. I believe they will be playing the Caps next though and with Ovie comming on strong its anyones guess.

Hey Tom what do you know. Told you the Hawks would step up and tie the series. I think tonight was a good indicator of things to come in game 5. The Hawks will have momentum and the crowd.

As for the Sharks. I am happy. They stuck to the plan never changing and I think tonight all the physical play and rubber shot at Anderson over the past 4 games finally payed off. They looked pretty dominant out there and the Avs showed a lot of frustration towards the end of the game. That said I cant call this one over. While they appear to have the momentum winning back to back nabby getting the shutout and not scoring any own goals since game 3, as I Sharks fan I just cant help but see the possibility for implosion. I expect an electric enviornment in Colorado for game 6 and the Avs to come at the Sharks like crazed animals taking the body and attempting to get an early goal. If they get the early goal it will be anyones game. I would like to think the Sharks will try to take it to the Avs early, but I dont think they will.

I was suprised to see the line combinations McLelland put out, but they obviously worked well. Nice game by the rookie forwards, and the D basically shutting down the Avs speed. I think the Avs will have a real tough time getting 2 wins, especially with the potential game 7 back in the Tank.

Hawks still have a lot they could improve on, and I think they will...I look for another convincing win on Saturday.

I think the Caps will ice their series tomorrow, but I think the Sabres might take the Bruins to a 6th game....Miller is the key.

Really looking forward to the West games on late, I will tune mainly into the Wings-Coyotes game unless it's a blowout. Hoping the Kings can take the lead over the Canuckleheads.

Alright so my pics for tonight. To be honest though with illimination at the door for 2 teams and a seesaw series you just dont know.

I look for the CAPS to close out the Habs
BUFFALO over Boston tonight
The KINGS over the Canucks. Likely wrong here as Luongo will probally stand on his head. The other pick is known where I stand.

Ill take the win though Tom. The UC will be great to get back to also. Go Hawks!!

Canadiens all over the Caps in period 1! :-)

Canadiens and Sabres live to fight another day.

Canuckleheads smashing the Kings after 2.

Wings - 'Yotes 3rd period should be awesome. :-)

I really can't stand the Canschmucks, or at least some of their players...Luongo, O'Brien, Burrows, Mitchell.....hope L.A. can ramp it back up at home.

I think the Coyotes are done....I just see the Wings whipping up on them at the Joe on Sunday.

Pens and Sharks can both advance tomorrow...and the Hawks have their biggest game of the season so far. Should be an awesome day of hockey.

The bruins played like crap last night. :-)
They played a terrible first and second period last night. then in the third they tried to ramp it up a little but to little to late. They have acually done this in the last couple of games but they have just been able to ramp it up. They did not have that spark they have had in the previous games that would get them out of there hole.:-)
Monday game coming up lets go guys and put the nail in the coffin.

Go AVS!!!!

Go Wings, up 3-2 and coming home for game 6. Howard has been fantastic the past two games. If he can maintain that level of play this series should be over in 6.

What a GREAT game..... Tom, bet that was an emotional roller coaster....:-)
