Man the Western Conference semi's are a lot of fun. Detroit,and Nashville aren't going down without a fight!! In the east the series weren't even close,and that sucks. Although I was happy with the sweep of the Cryers to avenge the total and utter collapse of last season. Just wish it had been a better series.

Holy crap the dead wings vs sharks finally was great! None of the games in that series were dull... Bring on the canucks
Flyers fan, born and raised here. Glad to see the Sharks won, I'm not a Detroit fan (old memories die hard).
As for the Flyers, hard to win when this is your goaltending situation.
Yes Klayfish the goaltending in Philly is,and has been a joke for quite some time. That is part of why it hurt so bad last year as there is no way the B's should had lost to those clowns in net the Flyers have/had.
No matter what though the B's,and their fans will never live last year down. It is like the 18-1 Pats. Man that burned!!!!!

Sad day for hockey fans: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=562783&navid=mod-rr-headlines
SHARKS!!! all my home town has goin on...
Welp. That sucked, I can't really say it was unexpected given our habit of choking in the playoffs.
I will be cheering for the Bruins or the Lightning at the Stanley Cup
This is so much fun!!!!!!!!!! I just hope the road team can finally win a game!!! History says they won't but I can dream right?
Go Bruins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last thing we need is Bostonians ending another trophy drought, they were so gracious with the last one. I don't know what the hell is wrong with the Canucks, quite the chase of Jekyll and Hyde. Not that I think a Canadian team finally winning the cup would be any better than Boston fans...they'd just be farther away...
Here is hoping the Flyers can right the ship for next season...
The only thing better than a game 7 is game 7 overtime.
I love it
Only watching now because the National Grass Growing League will be on every damn station soon.
Last night I tune in on a break while at work, and 10 min in 4-0...gimme a break.
what happened last night? I turned on the tv and it was 4-0 IN THE FIRST PERIOD!?! Game 7 is gunna be gooooood...
Luongo crapped the bed real bad early on, gave up 2 extremely weak goals...I just don't get it...

Sideshow Bob is the best goalie in the world, until you get under his skin. The first two are the hardest, the next seven are the easiest goals ever.
Went to my first hockey game this year (Kings) got to meet Marty Mcsorley and had a great time with my son. He's been before though.
I have my teams but am a casual fan at best, I can't devote the time to follow stats/players/standings. Any sport.
I want the Canucks to win 1-0 with a late 3rd period goal.
Two reasons, Boston fans are obnoxious- more with the red sox than anything else, but I hear the same themes about the bruins. (Sox fans- remember that there is a team out there who has not won longer than you ended up waiting for. And their fans don't whine about it so loud- thanks Cubs.) Bruins= won cup. Canucks- have not.
Second- it would be very cool to see a team loose a Cup by outscoring the other team 19-9. That would be awesome.
w00t!

And now, as I type, Vancouverites are busy trashing their own town again. What stupid stupid stupid people. I'm not a big Hockey fan at the best of times. The idiocy of these particular Canuck fans turn me off Hockey even more. Stupid.

Wow.
1994 all over again.
I'm sitting here, watching the crap going on in my hometown and I gotta say, we don't deserve the cup.
If the Canucks fans can't lose gracefully, I hope we never win.

That sucks because the fans in the stadium after the game cheered for the Bruins after the loss (except for Marchand, Boychuck, and Commissioner Bettman- all understandable). Hats off to those fans.
Boston's getting rowdy, too, swaying a police bus. Nothing burning yet. I just hope they don't get too rowdy. Boston fans get a bad enough rap (deserved or not, YMMV), don't make it worse!
It's been declared an "Unlawful assembly" and the police will be using whatever force deemed necessary.
Gas them, then taze them until their fillings are hot!
