Would love to see this one going seven games.
Detriot/Dallas, Franzen's been on fire, but with such a long rest, I wonder how the Wings will come out.
Yeah...while it's great for the injured to recover....it does kinda stink having so much time off.

We have not been so lucky at all when playing teams on the west coast. It BITES!!! These 9:00 game times bit. At least w/ detriolet we have some decent game times.

I've been there to the very end at every OT record breaker for the STARS! I plan on being there all the way. Still had to get up early this morning and get the kids off to school and into the office to do interviews that were scheduled. I'm pooped. Out too late on Saturday night at a concert.

Nite
GO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I would have to say this has been best post lockout playoffs yet. Unfortuneately for me my Ave's were decimated by injuries and a mule. The Sharks, what can I say? Gave it their all the last few games (and that epic game last night), but another early exit (I, along with all the Canadian Media, figured they would win the Cup) is a HUGE disappointment. Ron Wilson (no matter how much I like the guy) will probably be fired. I just hope they get rid of Marleau and re-sign Roenick (if he decides to come back). The Stars-Wings series will be excellent. I think Stars will win it in six, the Wings have not faced much adversity so far (cannot count them out, they are an unbelieveable team, no matter how much I hate them, and the fact there are empty seats in the Joe) and the way Marty Turco has been playing is unreal!!!! Especially considering the way he played in past playoffs, unbelieveable, either he or Morrow will win the Conn Smythe when the Stars win the cup. Pens and Flyers, blood bath of epicness. Once again the Canadian Media is all over Sid the Kid, but I think the Flyers will win that series in 7. Either way, the winner of the Western Conference will win the Stanley Cup me thinks. The league would probably prefer a Red Wings and Penguins finals mind you, better ratings one would think. Anyhow, glad to see hockey doing well in the U.S!!!!

Yeah, I know what you mean. All the naysayers were doubting my NY Giants in the playoffs, but they beat all 4 opponents and won the SB. So anything can happen. But I'll be rooting against the Flyers. I can't let all my friends from Philly and S. NJ talk trash like I've been doing ever since the SB.

This years' Playoffs have been the pits. Ugh. I could care less for the remaining teams. I might actually find it hard to watch the SC Finals this year, thats how lame I think this postseason has been. 2 thumbs down.

Don't let the rest of us stop you from doing something else, then. I intend to enjoy every moment of the remaining games, even if the Flyers fall flat on their faces!

That needs to be Chicago's slogan. The signs should read "welcome to Chicago, population 3 million." Then have a picture below that of the skyline and yada, yada, yada, then at the bottom have "there's always next year" with pictures of the Hawks, Bears, Cubs, Bulls, Sox logos.

Didn't the White Sox win the World Series in 2005? Didn't the Bulls build a stack of titles in the 90's? Weren't the Bears in the Super Bowl 2 years ago?

Go move to Atlanta, Seattle or Cleveland if you want to apply the "next year" slogan. It will have plenty of validity in those towns.

Don't forget about Philadelphia either.
