Whew! That was one hell of a comeback by the Pens Saturday!!

'Canes/Devils and NYR/Capitals series both going to game 7. Those are gonna be some fun games to watch. Still choosing the 'Canes and Capitals.

Caps have momentum and are riding the hotter goalie right now. I'm hoping for the Canes to win, but the game's in Jersey. Whichever goalie has the hotter hand will win that one. Hopefully the Hawks can put the Flames away tonight.

Good call Mark. I picked the Flames in that series, but not that suprised. I think Chicago and Calgary talent-wise are pretty even, just from the highlights and articles it seemed Chicago was the hungrier team.

How 'bout the Ducks? Eliminated the Sharks in game 6 tonight. I definately did not see that one coming. I picked the Sharks to win in 5. That Hiller dude was sick in this series.

So glad I was wrong on the Hawks / Flames series. Nice to see the Blackhawks tasting success again, they're a fun team to watch, and the games aren't blacked out in my area like the Caps games are <_<

Two game 7s tonight, wonder who's going to show up. I have a feeling the Caps move on, just seems like they're getting things going and riding the hotter goalie right now. Brashear being suspended really won't matter, not like he's a skill player, and Ovechkin doesn't need an enforcer to keep things in check. I'm going to be interested to see if Avery pulls any crap tonight, can't stand him and now that Brashear is out, he might be feeling a little brave.

Canes Devils should be great. Ward has been playing his ass off for the Canes, but Brodeur is the premier goalie in the league. If the Devils win, I want it to be an epic 4 overtime game just so they don't have as much left in the tank for round 2.

Sad to see the Flames gone, but not surprised really. Year after year of playoff failures. Just like the Sharks.
I'll still be happy as long as Shit-troit doesnt win.

I thought for sure Iginla would fire one or two in the way he was unloading at times last night. Kiprusoff looked shakey at the start, I didn't have much doubt that the Flames were done. This series was actually hard for me to watch. The Flames have been one of my favorite teams since way back (think Gary Roberts, Theo Fleury, Joe Nieuwendyk, Al MacInnis and my all time favorite Colorado Rockie / Atlanta Flame / Calgary Flame Lanny McDonald, yeah 1986).

You've got to respect the way Iginla plays the game, and I'd love to see him hoist the Cup one day, but the Hawks were my home team and the one I grew up watching.

A great series, now honestly I'm pulling for Vancouver to win it all. Just be nice to see the Cup return to Canada, and it would be even better to see them take it on home ice.

The Flames are one of my fav teams as well. Theo Fleury is still one of my fave players of all time.
I would also love to see Iggy raise the cup, he is a class act and fits in well with the Flames.
I think they need another, better backup goalie as Kippur looked just exhausted in the playoffs.

That he did. He stood on his head for them all season, but he just didn't have anything left last night. Meanwhile Khabibulin was unreal, vintage performance from him.

I'm so freaking pissed that the Caps game will be blacked out in my area tonight, I tried to get tickets, but can't find anything decent for a reasonable price.
