    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.

    Kudos to Carolina fans for making that arena extremely loud during the playoffs, it's always a great atmosphere to watch a game in the playoffs with Carolina at home.

    Also, those Carolina ice-girls :shock: awooogha

    Nothing better than a Game 7 and we get 2 tonight! Only I don't have the NHL package which means I'll only see 1 :(

    Ducks have one good line and just finished playing six games of physically grueling hockey.
    The Wings are healthy and well-rested. I'm not worried about the Ducks. Especially since now the Wings have home ice through the conference finals.

    I'll be honest, I don't have a care who wins tonight from the angle of being a Bruins fan ... but, please, for the love of god ... either the Rangers or Devils need to win ...

    I just don't think I could deal with all the Ovechkin v Crosby hype that we'd be buried in if the Caps and Canes win tonight.

    And, you know you'd NEVER be able to find a Bruins vs Canes game on TV either.

    due to contractual obligations, the NHL can suck my sack.

    How the fuck can you promote the league by NOT allowing coverage of a game 7 still in action???

    indeed, the viewing public didn't need to see Carolina score two goals in the last minute and a half to win the series ... seriously, the NHL missed the boat on this one.

    And ... my worst fear realized ... Pens v Caps ... Ovechkin v Crosby ... which means it'll be easier to find Australian rules football on TV than a Bruins v Canes game ... grumble.

    It will be easier than it was for this round. All games will still be televised and should be stacked where the 2 East and West series don't conflict with one another.

    I'm speechless after watching my Canes. What a finish! Something about playing the Devils in the playoffs. We have had some incredible finishes against them over the last couple years. Speaking about finish.........how about Jusi freakin Jokinen? Wow!

    Great pair of game sevens tonight.

    I got the Canes going all the way to the Cup Finals in my office pool. Unfortunately I have them losing to San Jose in said final.

    The Ducks and the Wings are the only 2 series that I missed on in the first round thanks to those great game tonight.

    Nope. I can garauntee that games 3 and 4 will be on VS. and will BOTH be the Caps and Pens ... thus, this west coast B's fan is shut out.

    EDIT - to prove my point, the name of the article is called "Conference semifinals feature Crosby vs. Ovechkin"

    Great games tonight....

    As a Pens fan I am looking forward to the Pens/Caps series because it should be good, fast, physical hockey... but I am dreading the over-hyping that the league/NBC/Versus will do.

    All 4 series should be REALLY good...

    Crosby vs Ovechkin. Gary Bettman just creamed his pants.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    I was at the Phillies game and missed both game 7's !

    I was happy to see the Devils gone..kind of indifferent about the Caps

    I will be pulling for the Caps against the Ice Chickens
