I see its 3-2 Calgary at the end of the 2nd. I'm pulling for ya. Any other hockey fans feel free to jump in and report how your games/series are going throughot the playoffs. Go Avs.

It was 3-2 going into the 2nd intermission, but next tme I looked it was 3-1. What happened? But I'm sure it wasn't Yelle's fault, he's an ex Avs player. ;-)

Originally Posted By dshyates Wow, you guys are really out shooting them, but all for naught so far. But there is still plenty of time. As you know a 2 point lead can disappear in less than a minute. I may have been mistaken on the score, had the TV volume down, listening to the Avs online, and posting to LP all at the same time. Really only paying attention to the Avs game. There should be plenty of typos in the posts I made during the game.

Originally Posted By dshyates Wow, that was a fantastic min of hockey. 2 great games (Avs-Wild, Sharks-Flames).

Living in the east I haven't kept up with the western teams t much, But I am familiar with Tangay and Yelle. This is going to be a tough series. Sucks to get them first round. We're playing The Wild. No one in the play off are going to be a push over, but we should win this series.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I would have preferred the Sharks played the Wild. That would have been a 4-game series. I predict that as well for the Avs. Sharks have one more game tomorrow night (back to back in the playoffs??? For shame!) in SJ, then it's off the Cgy. Sharks have done well as of late at home, but their season strength was on the road. I have no idea about the Sharks' record this season in Calgary, though.
Originally Posted By dshyates I noticed the back to back games. I wouldn't like that at all. The Avs play again on Fri. then not until Monday. I was predicting the Avs in 4. But after watching them blow a 2 point lead in the 3rd, I'm gonna say Avs in 5. And I'm sure you would have rather played the Wild. Calgary is gonna be tough. How did the Wild end up so high in the standings? Strike that, I hope I don't find out. Watch the Wild knock both the Avs and Sharks out now that we dissed them.
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x Ooh..don't say that!! I really don't know, but I'm glad the Sharks aren't playing Phoenix, since I live in the AZ area, and anything on Center Ice is blacked out for me.

If you were home, how mad were you that you missed the first 7 minutes (and 3 goals) of the game??? LOTS of people are MMMMAAAAAADDDDDDD. Ducks and Stars play, too. I really don't know who I want to win that series. Ducks because I think the Sharks would be able to handle them in the playoffs, but Stars because Ducks won last year! Ok, Ducks...because I just cannot stand Dallas and Mike Modano. >:|
