The East is set...
(1)Buffalo vs. (6)NY Rangers
(2)New Jersey vs. (4)Ottawa
I wouldn't count the Canucks out just yet. Anything can happen in game #7 back in Vancouver...but they are going to have to play a hell of a lot better than they did last night. I watched the second half of the game, and it was all Dallas.
the only positive for the 'nucks is that they can play like dogshit, and still be in the game....that's gotta worry Dallas a little bit
Franzen OT winner...I guess that's the best karma for what Mclennan did to him
Wings win...now i'm going to bed!
Well, the better team won. Detroit played like they wanted it, and the way the Flames played in the first two games was a pretty clear indication of where the series was headed. When they tied the series I still had hope that they could pull off the upset, but they just didn't put in the effort required to win and were badly outplayed in games 5 and 6. I'm thinkin' Sutter needs to make some MAJOR changes in the off season. The first thing he needs to do is give Kipper a raise. That guy was unbelievable for the entire series. Playfair is a rookie coach and I think he deserves at least one more year to try and make things happen. Hopefully he's learned a few lessons from this year's mistakes.
What are the chances of Luongo scoring a goal or two? :oops: That might be the only chance that Vancouver will win tonight. How many times does Naslund have to prove his ineptness as a leader until the team give the "C" to another player? Hearing Nazzy say that the team didn't give a great effort was priceless. Isn't he supposed to be the leader of the team and make sure the team puts in an effort? I mean, that's kind of his job as captain, isn't it? :roll:
tonight's the night..i hope i didn't buy a jersey for nothing.....

Let's go Canucks! It's about time Marty Turco's shutout street came to an end.

this message is for somebody special....you know who you are
that was a pretty good game...the save, the crossbar... nice to see the nucks come out on top. kinda feel bad for turco though, 3 shutouts and they lose the series
I like the 2nd round matchups, Sabres/Rangers and Devils/Senators in the East, Wings/Sharks and Ducks/Canucks in the West...should be good :thumb:
Everyone, hands up!?
Who's for 'The Ducks/Canucks'?
ROUND TWO PREDICTIONS
BUFFALO vs. NY Rangers
New Jersey vs. OTTAWA
Detroit vs. SAN JOSE
ANAHEIM vs. Vancouver
i'll still be cheering for the Canucks though..... (and the sharks)
