That's almost as funny as Marian Hossa's contract.

Yeah, but he has a Cup ring now.

And without Hossa, no Game 7 yesterday...his set-up of Smith's goal in Game 6 was epic.

I know. Where would the Hawks be without one Marian Hossa? He's an instrumental piece of that team. Without him they wouldn't have gotten past the first rou.......oh wait.

Throw e-tomatoes all you want. Hawks had no business making a Game 7 down 3-zip...And Hossa scored a couple of nice goals in key games during the series.


They made a $10M goalie sweat, get yanked twice for his back-up, and get benched (and hidden in the dressing room)...I could not ask for more.

And the Sisters were held to nothing once Bolland returned...





Now, excuse me while I go enjoy NBA playoffs.

I heard Hossa's short game on the back nine has improved this year over last year.

What an Epic series between the Hawks and Canucks! I honestly don't know if I was happier when we won Gold or after last nights win. Even Bobby Lou said that this was bigger than the Olympic win for him after last nights game. I think if they lost last night it would have been devastating for the franchise.

Bring on the Preds! We can take them in 6. Redwings are gonna be really tough

Well, for the West...

Nashville and Vancouver...I'll say Canucks in 7. But, I will not be surprised if the Preds beat them. The Nucks taking out Chicago was their "Stanley Cup".

Sharks vs. Wings. Wings in 6...I hate them but, they look pretty good this year.

Central Division was the toughest in the best Conference this year. Wouldn't shock me at all to see the Preds cook up a nice meal in Lou's kitchen.


Sharks vs. Wings. Wings in 6...I love them and, they look pretty good this year.
For once we agree. The Only team to sweep in the first round and that was WITHOUT our leading point getter. Just ask 97Black!

Well, the Canucks racked up that Prez Trophy feeding on the Western Conference's bottom dwellers...

That, plus the fact that Luongo seems to be a basketcase when the going gets tough, would be the primary areas of concern. Anyhow, time for me to whip out the for the rest of the playoffs...

Definitely an impressive season without those 2 guys, 106 points, and leading the playoff round 3-1. It's just too bad that they fell apart, shit half the team was playing hurt. In the end, we just didn't have much scoring fire power to match up against TB. Like you said, next year, hopefully the big money boys will be healthy

My myopia cost me for the Hawks/Nucks...but, hey...it sure looked like I would be right.

And despite the Bolts ousting the Pens, I'd still make that pick any day. Who knew T-Bay had 8-goals in them in that series-changer...?

Yep, Crawford proved himself by out-playing the League's most expensive goalie.



Now, here's hoping Bowman signs some peeps for the 3rd and 4th line!
