Brian Boucher in net for Philly - damn.
Philly looks good though.
Sens are done.

Ughh...that is all. Ughh. Better get a split Hawks...skating around like you think the Preds are going to roll over and play dead just because you are in town. Try breaking out with some tape to tape passes, breaking in with puck support and clearing the slot in front of Niemi. And play with a sense of urgency and some friggin passion, fercryinoutloud...
Whew!!! Sharks score in OT for the win. Back to SJ!!!
canucks are sucking. stupid refs. kicking action? wtf
Chicago doesn't look right............they seem off kilter and sluggish and lethargic so far - burned out?
Been reading their own press releases, aricles etc and beleiving them. I am sickened so far.
Nashville's got a pretty solid well rounded team, with pretty good size and intangibles, and a heck of a coach. They would have damn good this year if Radulov was still with them.
Chicago looks anemic and looks like they need the injection of some veteran presence and leadership on offense, especially within their top 9. Madden just isn't the solution (apparently he's the only one), and IMO isn't a 3rd line center at this point of his career either. Apparently the men are being separated from the boys now that it's playoff hockey, and there are just too many boys on Chicago.
I was really surprised given their impeding cap situation that they didn't unload some of their young talent for some combination of veteran leadership and a goaltender. The team seems to have more than enough skill guys, but there is no way in hell I'd want Niemi to be the goaltender of the future. Sure he had "respectable" numbers this year, but so did Jose Theodore. Chicago isn't going to go anywhere with one goaltender that's apparently damaged goods, and another that looks to have AHL caliber "stuff".
Chicago may very well be better off next year when they're forced to move some players due to cap restrictions.
What you talking aboot?
Pen's are going to be playing the Bruins next round (hopefully), and I actually kind of want that match-up as a B's fan.
I know they aren't the sexy team like the Caps, and I don't know if they could pull it out against the Pens, but I've never been terribly impressed by how the Pen's have countered the Bruin's defensive scheme.
Redwings looked like they are supposed to last night, first career play off shut out for Jimmy howard....hopefully they can keep this momentum out in the desert.
Shaping up to be a good post season in the NHL

They have Hossa. That is all you need to know.
Only if the Bruins and the Flyers win. I would love to see the B's play the Pens so Cooke can take out your big superstar again and Jack Edwards will talk about knocking Sid's teeth out.
Agreed agreed agreed...I think Versteeg, Ladd and Byfuglien are gone after this year. Gotta find us a good goalie...and some grit.
Yea, Jack is the biggest Homer ever, but he's our Homer
Price gets the start in net for Montreal tonight. Will he be brilliant or will he suck big time?

Jack Edwards = worst play by play guy on TV. He's friggin horrible. I usually mute the Bruins games when they are on NESN so I don't have to listen to him. He's Gawdawful. NESN should fire his sorry ass and pay Rick Peckham big bucks to come to Beantown to do the Bruins games.

Why I don't mind Jack. I love that he drive's people insane!
I like Andy Brickley as a color guy though...until he starts talking about himself.
Go Whale!
I thought the winner of Montreal & Washington play the winner of Pittsburgh & Ottawa next round? And the winner of Buffalo & Boston play the winner of NJ and Phili.
So third round could be Pittsburgh vs Boston. That would be a "wicked" cool series.
I'd say the over under for Halak replacing Price in the game is 5 minutes into the 2nd period
I don't think it really matters who is in net. Montreal doesn't have enough defense in front of either guy for it to matter.I'd say the over under for Halak replacing Price in the game is 5 minutes into the 2nd period
Highest seed would play the lowest. So far that looks like Caps (1) vs. Philly (7)
Bruins wound up with the 6 seed.
But they have Stanley Cup Champion and assistant captain Hal Gill!
Cooke is a cheap shot, knee to knee elbow throwing gutless little punk. He is lucky Evander Kane is not in the playoffs...
couldnt have said it better myself. cant stand players like him and people who defend his actions.
I love all this hatred.
So the Washington series is done and Satan won it in overtime for the B's after Miller stood on his head for a period and a half in overtime. I can't see Buffalo coming back with their offense.
Bruins Win it in Double OT , Take a 3-1 lead, this has to be demoralizing for Buffalo
Buffalo is on the ropes now. Maybe they'll get Vanek back for Game 5.
Tough loss for LA last night.
Quick exit for Les Habitants it looks like.
Will the "real" Blackhawks show up tonight?

Man I hope so...
I'm glad the 'Nucks got things back to par, but they'd better shape up or their season is only 2 more games long. The maddening thing is that they are a far better team than how they have been playing. I can pretty much guarantee that O'Brien won't be back next year, unless he somehow becomes an absolute miracle worker right quick!
Good riddance, New Jersey.
Sharks trounced the Avs last night - could they make it through round 1 for a change?
Lots of bad officiating IMHO...
SJ got out he whippin' sticks last night, my Hawks showed up...feast or famine with them lately.
See ya Marty, have a nice summer porkin babysitters!
Looks like the line juggling by Quenville paid off last night. Sharp moved back to center I see.
