interesting comments Cherry made in Coaches Corner about Winnipeg. I guess its all but official for Phoenix. I also heard that when they do move back to Peg, they will not be using the Jets name, which I found dissapointing.

It sounds like Winnipeg is a done deal. Now should they be moving them to Winnipeg or doing the right thing and folding the franchise, as much as I'd love to see more hockey teams in Canada I can't help but think that it will be a big success for a couple years and then they'll face problems. The NHL really should reduce themselves to a 24 team league, imo. The NHL is such a gate driven sport, they need people at the rinks. To me a smaller league would mean a higher calibre of play and much more exciting hockey.

I ended up going as well. Was 10 rows off ice in the corner...end where where buff got their goal.

Game was boring as fuck. Came down to two things...

1 - flyers PP 0-5 (including a 30 second 2 man advantage)

2 - bob gave up 1 fat rebound, miller gave up none

as a flyer fan, this game sucked to attend. I think flyers were the better team, but buffalo did what they had to do.

the flyers need to find a way. sucks losing game 1 but they are used to that (see last years playoffs)

also, I dont think home ice means anything in playoffs. irrelevant

Being there from the away standpoint, and not having to worry about the crowd being in the game, etc, the game was great. The Sabres played a near perfect road game and as long as they kept the game tied, it was as good as them scoring as you figured Sideshow Bob would likely crack before Miller.

thats the feelings i have in our series...only difference in the games 1's were the caps wera able to tie it on a garbage goal

but i just want to be close for the whole game then win it with a goal

i totally agree. the talent in the league is spread too thin. i think 24 is a little too low, though. 26 would be better.

If I have to read another NHL.com pun I'm going to pull my hair out.

At least when Dan Boyle scores on his own net this year in the playoffs they'll hopefully have a sound enough mind to make the headline: It Boyles down to this

2 13 team conferences would work.

I hope he's feeling saucy. Maybe this time he can get someone on the Caps to give him an "obscene gesture" and get a two game suspension.

Bob didn't crack. He played a solid game. Can't bitcha bout a lone goal. Biggest issue was not going to the net, and more importantly, not putting a body in front of Miller on the power play. Gotta put somebody there to tip pucks from teh point, put home in close rebounds and screen Miller. Instead, it was 5 Flyers outside, 4 Sabers inside. crap pp

It seems like you want the lower seed in the East. God Bless Playoff Hockey!!!

by 'crack', I meant merely letting in a goal. 1 goal and a bang bang rebound like that isnt on Bobrovsky


2 man advantage was huge. There was also a point on the PP when the Flyers sustained pressure for about 30-40 seconds and Gaustad was without a stick. That was a pretty tough situation.

Biggest game of the year for the canucks. To prove to themselves and us the fans that something is different this year, WE MUST WIN game 2 and go up two on Chicago. HUGE GAME for us in Vancity.

GO CANUCKS GO!
