    Don't forget the Blues! They've got the best batch of prospects yet to hit the NHL. They could be a very dangerous team for quite some time.

    I would love for St. Louis to get back to top form.
    Those playoff series between the Blues and the Wings in the mid-late 90's were gold.
    Grant Fuhr was such a frustrating goalie to play against!

    I agree with Gainey, Price didn't deserve the mock cheers, can't remember a soft goal last night.
    Do you really think they let Koivu go? I see him as the heart and soul of the Habs, especially overcoming cancer and all.
    My son was a Habs fan because of Roy, I let him move back in the house after they traded Roy to the Avs
    I think they will try to re-sign Koivu, the guy has been the heart of the team for almost a decade, and gives his all constantly. I am not sure Koivu will want to come back though, and I couldn't blame him. The media in Montreal are among the worst in the league, right up there with Toronto. They put so much pressure and BS on the players it isn't funny. The fans can act like spoiled idiots (as we saw the last two games), too.

    And I think he wants to play with his brother, too.

    I think those days will be coming back. I miss the old Black and Blue rivalry from the old Norris days. Anytime either of the Blues-Blackhawks-Red Wings meet up, it's a game worth seeing. In the coming years it is only going to get better.

    Insane goalie duel tonight between Ward and Brodeur. Only 1 goal on 86 shots between both teams. Gotta bounce back and even things up on Sunday.

    Ok it's time I started checking out this thread:

    Phantom Pain I love your avatar! I am sooo sick of NHL promoting Sid the Kid. I have no reason to hate the guy as much as I do except for the fact the NHL forces him down our throats. He's good but there are a lot of good, young, quality players. I believe the Wings won the cup last year but they always show the Penguins/Sid scoring on the Wings :) Why not showcase all the NHL and let fans decide who they like? Last time the Wings played on NBC against the Penguins, which the Wings won, Zetterberg was asked by Pierre McGuire what it was like to play against Sid - F***ing ask Sid what it's like to play against Hank and Pavel!

    What's with the garbage throwing? Canadian fans should be ashamed. I hate them (Bruins/Wings lifetime fan) but I even felt bad for the players. I hope they chase Price out of there and get a real shit goalie, they'd deserve it. And to throw garbage on the ice? WTF. If I were Koivu I would have stayed out there and picked up the garbage. That's the players home away from home and you don't disrespect it like that! NO class so called Canadian fans. It's not like they were going to beat the Bruins anyways..... I hope this is the start of the Canadians SUCKING for the next decade :)

    Detroit vs Boston in the finals would be a dream come true for this fan!

    They weren't very classy this week. Although it's not like no other arena has the fans throwing trash on the ice, so you may as well get over it.

    PS - I hope they make you miserable for the next decade, and then some ;)

    It's not a matter of getting over it. Whether it's Montreal (which quite frankly surprised me), Columbus last night or anywhere else it's just not right. I think it speaks for the times which is worrisome as I have a 4 year old daughter I take to games.

    After all the pain the Habs have put on me and the Bruins I got to enjoy this for at least a few years :)

    No hard feelings.

    I'm not saying it is alright, either. The people at the game should be ashamed of themselves, both for that and the booing.

    Yeah of all the games I've been to, albeit the Wings have been good for quite awhile, I don't think I've ever booed. Now cussed is a different thing :)

    That's who I predicted to be in the Finals for the Cup however even better would be the BRUINS vs the Blackhawks. The second best looking jersey in hockey behind the B's of course. :)

    glad to see this thread is really active, just in case anyone doesn't know I have been updating the series as they go in the first post, so you can check on what is happening there, all in one spot for your convenience also the league leaders but they change so much it is hard to update in the first round.

    Got tickets to home game 3 round 2 today, will be game 5 if we face the hawks or flames or game 6 if we face the wings!

    GO CANUCKS CO!

    work = work +1;

    The WHC doesn't get much coverage or notariety in North America. Nobody really gets too excited about it here unless there is a major upset.

    Went to Game 6 of Canes/Devils last night. Jersey is starting to wear down. Brodeur has seen 80+ shots in the last 2 games. Hopefully that trend continues tomorrow night. We were sitting a few feet from Lou Lamoriello. He didn't look too happy.

    A little PJ mention today while I was listening to the NHL Home Ice Network on XM. They were interviewing actor John C. McGinley who is a big hockey fan and a neighbor/friend of Chris Chelios. They asked him about other celebrities that he knows who are hockey fans. He mentioned that Ed is a big hockey fan and always wants to talk hockey when they see him.
