i like the jackets and hope they knock out detroit - they've been an exciting team to follow
i don't see either of them pulling the upset though - although, oddly enough I think the jackets are in a better position to do it
the redwings are pure polish, their pp is lethal and they're a hard team to get shots against
however, their pk hasn't been the most consistent, goalie hasn't been the most consistent and c'bus has a really good, fast skating team and a big question mark in goalie - but one who can just flat out take over a game and make 40+ saves against good offensive teams
i was excited to see a lot of these teams make it, but disapointed at the pairings as I don't think they can advance
Too bad the only thing worse than the Wings pk is the jackets pp, we are god awful, I honestly would rather just play 5-5 and have the penalty saved to cancel out a jackets penalty... too bad we cant
Jackets can put in a good fight against the wings but if we fall more than a goal behind its basically over, I don't see us breaking down the wings when they focus entirely on D.

i agree with that - they are hard enough to setup against as it is - when they get a lead and just start controlling the puck, killing time and looking for one off breaks to stretch the lead they're deadly and many teams don't have the discipline to stay with it when facing that
disapointed in my sharks last night - just like how they opened last years playoffs and playing like they have for the past few years
they need to play like they actually care out there - i'm starting to think most of the guys just don't get it - regardless of how many character vets they bring in to show the way

MTL has lost 2 games in OT to the Bruins, and has won 1 game. Hence, the 5 W (including OTW)-0 L (in regulation) - 1 OTL (MTL's shootout win in their first meeting) for the Bruins, and the 1-3-2 record for the Habs.
It is nice to see fans of the opposing team give credit where credit is due. I have repped you both, ulnevrwalkalone and Finger Laker, for being classy guys. Now if we could just get you jobs on Versus or NBC so I could quit having to listen to those announcers 'dis' Detroit. Aren't they suppossed to be neutral?

Ya but if you are neutral you tend to root for the underdog

thanks... that's what I get for reading w/o thinking, while on a conference call...

when is the NHL TV contract up with VS so we can get back to the good graces of ESPN??
Good graces of ESPN??? I surely hope you aren't serious. ESPN was just as bad as VERSUS is now. NHL on FOX was horrible as well. I would rather pay for the Center Ice package and watch the local channels. It would be nice to see a sports station show a scheduled game with the announcers of a different station. I was at the Wings game yesterday and FSN Detroit was there, as well as VERSUS.
