Looks like the Canadians have an excellent chance of upsetting the Pens. I don't care for the Canadians at all but their goalie has been outstanding and the Pens have been somewhat undisciplined.

Yeah, I've never been a Habs fan either, it kind of makes me ill to see them do good. My Canucks were a big disappointment, losing to the Hawks in round 2, AGAIN!!!! Oh well, I think I'll cheer for the Sharks.

I'm going to pull for the Flyers. They are coached by former Canes coach, Peter Laviallete and their goalie was Carolina's back-up last season. If they lose tonight then I'll pull for the Bruins. Don't know the west coast teams.

Amazing comeback for the Flyers! First time in 35 years that a team has come back from a 3-0 deficit and won a series. Sorry Dave Walker!

Don't be sorry, sky. I'm not at all surprised. I gave up on the Bruins about fifteen years ago because I realized as long as Jeremy Jacobs own the team, and as long as Harry Sinden is involved in some capacity, the Cup will never come to Boston. I wanted to believe this year, I really did, but I called the loss yesterday afternoon.
Interestingly, last weekend I learned that my grandfather used to say the same things about Sinden as I do. He's been dead since 1982...

Some things change... I used to love the Bruins back in the Phil Esposito/ Bobby Orr days.

Some things change... I used to love the Bruins back in the Phil Esposito/ Bobby Orr days. And I used to love the Hawks in the Bobby Hull/Stan Mikita days. Yep, that's when hockey was hockey.

Glad the see the Blackhawks make the finals. That franchise had been down for so long. Assuming the Flyers finish off the Habs, a Blackhawks vs. Flyers Stanley Cup match-up looks good to me. Hawks should be a strong favorite but when a goalie is hot, you never know. Three shutouts in last four games for Michael Leighton. Why couldn't he do this in Carolina?

Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 goes to Chicago 6-5. And if the rest of the series is anything like the game tonight, it is going to be a wild ride.

Leighton bounced back and had an excellent Game 2 but Antti Niemi was even better. I hope the Flyers can turn things around and make this a series.
