With the Ist round a best of five so the wait is not so long... It should be 3 points for a win and one for a tie during the season.

Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE I think the Pens want the Habs to win it all too now, this is one Classy Team The Pens ..Thumbs UP Pittsburg....: ) Would be nice to have the Canadiens make it , would be a shame if they didn't after finding a way to win against the two best teams in Hockey to-day...
Originally Posted By brotherdave Yeah, I wouldn't mind the Habs taking it all now that the Pens are out. As long as the Flyers don't do it! (ARGH!) They had rioting and looting in Montreal last night after they beat the Pens, just for ROUND TWO! Can you imagine if they were to win the Cup??? I can see the whole city burning down if they do!!! Now THAT'S being Hockey crazed! Pittsburgh had very little trouble when the Pens won AND the Steelers won all within a few months of each other last year. (Well, except for an occasional burning sofa near the University of Pittsburgh!)

Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE you bet, I think it;s time to trim back, you know all teams start to play real lousy, getting teams that are fresh and you are beat...too many games in the week, sometimes the canucks would play sun, tuesday, thursday ect....just way too many games, the ticket prices don;t go down, but the value of the play sure does, it goes down big time
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder Having grown up in Chicago, I'm rather enjoying the playoffs so far.

The Canucks all three home games and a lot of face in the process, as they pointed all year to revenge against the Hawks, only to get punked by the better team. Again. And, Chicago steals a road game against San Jose last night. I likes their chances.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE Hawks do look a lot fresher , how ever San Jose had the better chances but could not beat Nemin , the officials blew one call that could have had the sharks up by two..but were really good other wise... Vancouver was much the better team against Chicago, how ever Chicago won the series by been opportunistic thru out. Their talented blue line and individual skill prevailed...Vancouver won game one , should have won game two, poor officiating in game three , lost game four , and so on....they just could not sustain the hawks any longer with the injuries they had accumalated..in all I like the Canucks , but in my mind you want to see the team with the best chance to win the Stanley cup go thru and that was Chicago....They play poor at home , if that continues could be a long series, if it doesn;t , hawks in 6, "pardon spelling.."
