Yeah, with the way the Count has made the League...parity is so strong that the teams are all very evenly matched usually...slicing at hairs. I need to ask myself now can the Hawks take 2 in a row from Anaheim?

Doable...but, gonna be very difficult.

I think Cabbie just blocked you.

Oh wait, your team is still in so you're allowed to say those things.

There is less parity in this league than you believe. Divisional playoffs will prove to be foolish. Did you notice how round 1 was close series, round 2 was short and round 3 is long again? Get use to that.

Instead of strong teams playing weak teams in round 1 you have strong teams eliminating strong teams and weak teams surviving by beating weaker teams. Then you get to round 2 and a weak team that should have been eliminated in round 1 gets absolutely hammered in round 2.

Yow...didn't like that penalty Kreider took at all...why give the Lightening any life? Ah well, hopefully, it does not give Tampa any prolonged momentum in the 2nd.

Very immature. Callahan nets his first on it. I'm much more concerned with all the giveaways & inability to generate any offensive pressure all period.

Well, congrats to your Rangers, cabbie...huge huge win...goes to show their experience and pedigree with their backs against the wall.

Not going to be good for your ulcer for game 7 though. I need to survive game 6...here's hoping the Hawks come out swinging...

I wish...all the games have been trials to my ticker and stomach...

And yesterday was no different...3-0 hole...then, 4-2...then, Serious ties it...and then, all of that...to lose in OT.

As fun as NHL playoff hockey is, and seriously, no sport can come close...I think I'm going to check myself in to a lunatic asylum after this is all over.

Weird series, it's like different teams played.

Both have a rout, both a hat trick. just weird.

No way to call game 7, no way to know who will show up for game 7 for either team.

Gotta think being pulled did not help Bishop's confidence.
