    Not looking very good for the Red Wings playoff streak. They looked flat last night against Calgary. Not a good sign.

    Their 30 million dollar goalie was terrific in the 3rd period ... ;) probably not a good idea after that 3rd goal went in to stare at your bench and basically call out your teammates, on national TV no less.

    They should make it ... They have an easier schedule than both Dallas and Columbus ... But they did lose to Calgary and it shouldn't be any easier than that :lol:

    Is the winner of this years going to get the same crap Ranger fans give my Devils about winning 2 1/2 cups? :evil: :lol:

    Hey BD where the hell is that devils page? I can't find it. Not one post this season in that thread? I kid buddy. Well, you're not gonna have to worry about the rangers winning the cup this season. We can't even beat the last place team while in a playoff hunt. Watch your devils come to MSG and knock us out of the playoff hunt. :fp:

    It could be overdoing it, but it is probably a smart move for the NHL (could Bettman actually be part of this plan?)

    Generates a ton of ticket sales, merchandise, and much needed publicity.

    It might backfire when 10,000 California hockey fans walk away from a game disappointed at how bad the sight lines were...

    Outdoor games are generally terrible for hockey fans...

    its going to be the hot goalie in the East.

    Likely Montreal, Boston, or the Rangers.

    West, its going to be Chicago.

    I like the way you think.

    Can't wait for the playoffs to start...these last few and next 3 games are meaningless to the Hawks.

    Congrats to the BHawks for winning the Obama Cup. I hope they can break the recent curse of said winners

    Looks like the Red Wings will sneak in ... first round match up with Chicago ... can the wings pull the upset or are the hawks just to good? I myself hope the hawks are in the finals against the penguins ... to me that would be a great wide open series.

    i would wait and see ... the one great thing about hockey is that no one rolls over ... florida beat the rangers the other day with the current biggest win streak being 2 games and losing streak 3 games ...

    are the Leafs even going to win 1 game in the first round?
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    well ... considering i would have said the odds of us making the playoffs was slim to begin with ... everything from here on out is gravy ... the city is just happy to be in the post-season ... pretty sad i know but that's something at least ...
