Dominant game last night. Crosby still scoring, Malkin getting rolling, MAF solid in goal. Looking good, but the series may not be over. The Canes will have last change and the rabid fan base at home.

I still think the Pens will advance, but I don't see a sweep.

No doubt. I think the 'Canes will at least get a split in Raliegh. Pen's can't get arrogant like they did last year.

.............and don't forget the pens were down 2 - 0 to the caps the last round. It's do or die for the canes now. That was a great goal by Gino last night. He's hot now, but there are also games when he looks like he's floating out there and when he does that he makes some bad passes and bad plays.

Nice ending to the Hawks / Wings game tonight. Great for the fans in Chicago, they'll be energized for game 4, hope the Hawks can keep the pressure on.

It was a great game, I wonder whats up with Khabibulin? It would be nice to see the Hawks win the cup, and then Toews can bring the cup to Winnipeg.
On a side note, Jim Ballsillie will be getting some sort of award presented to him in Winnipeg in June I think, and I'm pretty sure someone will be talking to him about hockey back in this city. Atleast I hope so, I have only been to one Jets game in my life, Vs the Kings, 10/26/1990 where Wayne Gretzky recorded his 2,000th NHL Point Great memories.

I think it is pretty safe to say the East is over. Carolina may win one, but they aren't coming back from down 3 - 0. They came out great, but the 2 goals with less than a minute left in the 1st that the Pens scored broke their backs.

Can't wait to watch the game tomorrow afternoon, but after tonight's game, I really think whoever comes out of the West will have their hands full. Malkin is looking like the player he's been all year, Crosby is playing lights out, the Pens D are dropping down and blocking shots all over the place. Very impressive as a team right now.

I was quite impressed. Watched the 2nd and 3rd periods at a strip club in Montreal during my buddies' bachelor party. The combination of strippers, beer, and the Pens winning made me quite happy

Good point about the shot blocking, Mark. That is a truly underrated stat. That was a big difference between Pittsburgh and Washington. The Pens beat the Caps in shot blocks by a more than 2:1 margain. That says to me the Pens want it.

Wings put t on the Hawks this afternoon, bad. Looks like it's over for Chicago. Those goddamn Wings

I wish the Av's made it this year so we could of tossed their winged asses out of the building.
