Yeah Vancouver! Nice save, you damn chokers.
I have to hand it to Chicago. They looked like defending champions from game 4 onwards. Damn they played a hell of a series.
Fuck you Chris Campoli. A whole city will now want you dead.

This.
I'm damn proud of the Blackhawks, they put up a fight that I didn't even know that had in them, and gave this city a lot to cheer about after a very lackluster regular season.
Excellent job Hawks, even if you didn't win. I'm very much looking forward to next season.

I think my flyers are going back to the stanley cup, they played insanely great tonight.
Well, the Western Conference is now ready for some Semi-Final action, with the first four matchups complete. At least by tomorrow, we'll know who's playing whom in one matchup, with Boston and Montreal closing out their series tonight.
Vancouver - Nashville
San Jose - Detroit
Both will be interesting series and you feel that if the Canucks are going deep in this year's playoffs, they will need a quick series against the Predators, not to take anything away from the way that Barry Trotz has got the players set up for him this series. Watch for Dan Hamhuis making some noise, playing against his former team, while the Canucks would like a little more offence from the second and third lines to back up the first line, while they back up Roberto Luongo, who has been more than a little shaky in net so far.
I'm saying Vancouver, but I have no clue as to how many games. On paper, it should be 4, but looking at round 1, I'm not so sure of their confidence any more.
Detroit facing San Jose is going to be an interesting matchup, which is closer than I'd have thought. Detroit has a pretty good offence with players like Datsyuk and Valtteri Filippula backing up Jimmy Howard, who was solid against Phoenix - rest assured that they will face a very different animal in the Sharks. Yes, the Wings may get back Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg, but they may need their services.
San Jose has Antti Niemi, one of the few remaining fragments of the reigning champions still in the playoff picture, in net, though he hasn't looked himself, with 19 goals against. 1.32 goals allowed per period of Hockey against LA must have the Detroit forwards salivating. Mind you, there is some great scoring potential from out of the Tank - Ryane Clowe leads the way with 7 points with Thornton, Mareleau and Couture all with 5 each.
Home ice advantage could play a massive factor in this series and if Detroit can sneak a win back to the Joe, you'd expect them to be favourites.
I think that Detroit is favourite for this series, despite being at a disadvantage over home ice. They just don't seem to care, so it gives them an edge when they go home. Maybe 6 or 7 games here, but the first series out of the way quickly is a bonus for the Wings, which they may exploit if this series goes long.
Second Round.
Nashville is a better team than Chicago, and they will prove to be some trouble for Vancouver, but I think Vancouver will win this series, so long as they keep their foot on the gas.
All of the teams in the West now have to deal with lots of travel.
Detroit and San Jose is going to be a good one. It's a rematch of last year, and as long as the Wings can keep playing the way they've been doing, I think they can win it in 6, maybe 5 games. The teams are very balanced, but I think the Wings have revenge on their minds. Detroit has the edge in defense, and so long as they can keep scoring 4+ goals every night, San Jose will find themselves in a hole. Adversely, the Wings must stay out of the box here. Last year, that's what killed them in the first three games. No more silly penalties.
Coop beat me to the punch on this one, but all western conference semifinal series have been determined. Tonight we've got a couple of game sevens going down, between the Penguins and Lightning, and also the Bruins and Canadiens. Montreal-Boston should be starting any minute now, and Pittsburgh-Tampa Bay will start in about 45 minutes.

2-0 Bruins less than 7 minutes into the game. Let's see if they can actually not blow it this year.

If the end up facing The Flyers, than get ready to lose.

Hopefully Chara gets really hurt too.
Never forget 3-4 last year.
Canadiens score to cut the lead down to 2-1, meanwhile the Lightning and Penguins have started, and are currently scoreless.

As is the norm, people score right when I post. Lovely.

I was really concerned when Bruins got 2 goals in the first ten minutes, thought Montreal would get slaughtered after that... Not doing TOO bad now though, 2-2... I hope Montreal wins, I don't even care if they don't make it to the cup... I just want to see Boston out of the playoffs.

0 scores in 21 power plays.
That is true, Montreal at least has 4(?) in the playoffs, could be a lot better... Like getting one right now for example... But we're still doing better overall I think, maybe it's just because I love Montreal, but I don't know.. I just want them to win this game so bad it would be better if I was drinking.

4 minutes left, Canadiens better pull one out of their ass.
Meanwhile, the Lightning are up 1-0 on the Penguins late in the second period.

Bruins, you never cease to make me facepalm. Getting a penalty with 2:37 left in a game 7 that you're winning by one? Dear Arceus.
3-3 after the Canadiens score a power play goal in the last 2 minutes. Game is now heading into overtime.
