And Gillis is an idiot for not taking Toronto's offer for Louuuu now if the rumors are true...cuz, there's no way the Leafs are trading Reimer now if the guy keeps playing like this.

Tomorrow will be a great night for hockey. Hopefully I'll also be happy.

Game 7s...the place of heartache or absolute-joy.


Good luck!

Well, since the Eastern Conference is taking its merry time, here are my predictions for the West:

Kings vs. Sharks: LA in 6
Hawks vs. Things: Hawks in 7

Really? Where did you get that?

Chicago has never openly said it but they hoped for a match-up with Detroit because of the travel and the fact that the Wings match-up better.

...and I think the Hawks would have had a better chance versus the Sucks than the Wings.

Hard to say. Chicago played the Wings well during the last few seasons going 7-0-2 overall...not bad.

And generally, the Hawks enjoy teams that like to play puck-possession versus crash and bang...so, again, preference for the Wings. Both teams are good and there are no "easy" routes to the Cup.



But, your Kings and Sharks can bash each other until they are black and blue, thanks.

This wings team is a far cry from the regular season.
Don't discount them like you did Brooklyn.

The Ducks regular season were a good team that came from behind many times in many games......that does not work in the playoffs.

Even as a Kings fan I wanted to play the ducks over the sharks.
Ducks are an easier route for anyone.


As for Kings V Sharks there is gonna be a TON more open ice than the Blues series. It will be a far cry from the smash-mouth hockey Blues series.

Hopefully the open ice will get the Kings forward talent lighting the lamp more.

^ I have not discounted the Things at all. I expect this series to go 7 (see my predictions)...and likely all the games will be extremely close.

Classy shit by the boston fans continuously throwing towels on the ice after they tied the game, even after the announcement asking to stop throwing shit on the ice

Embarrasing. They should be ashamed. No shame is losing to the Bruins, none at all. But there should be a lot of shame in blowing a 4-1 lead in game 7 with 10 minutes left. Ridiculous.
