Poor Flint – the Habs blew it last night, giving up a 3-0 lead in the 3rd period! You must have been pulling your hair out. I missed the game but caught moments! SENS better win tonight in Toronto or I think we’re screwed!!! I’d love to see Ottawa play Montreal in the finals!!!

OH man! I couldn't believe the Habs lost that game! It was utter disbelief! Then I thought the same fate was going to befall the Wings! Those late third period rallies are something!

Montreal can't play Ottawa in the finals...they are both in the East... but I am hoping that they get to play each other in the semi-finals, and that one of them will be facing the Wings in the finals!

They sure do like that "Ale" song in Montreal! I didn't even hear it once in St Louis ...but they were singing it a lot in Montreal!

Well, The Wings have sent the Blues home beaten, battered and bruised. Who their next opponent is, is anybodys guess...the Sharks and Avs are in a dog fight. The Sharks are ahead 3-2 and are heading home to the tank.

The Leafs are looking pretty beat up also. Injuries have taken their toll.

Yes!! The Leafs win and tie the series at 3. I thought for sure they would be done tonight. Back to Toronto on Tuesday, which will for sure be another nail biter.

The Habs had a bad game today, but hopefully they will come on top tomorrow.

Go Leafs
Go Habs

You're right Zeyna, tomorrow's game 7 will be a nail-biter for sure.... but I hope Ottawa wins!!!

Go Go!!!

Well, round three is about to begin. After saying good bye to the Sens and the Sharks, Toronto and Colorado surivive to face another opponent. Without much to heal, they will soon be back in action.

Toronto will face the Carolina team that just won't believe thier bad press.

A battered and bruised Colorado will face the well rested Red Wings. (I just hope not too well rested).

I am looking forward to the continuation of this saga.

GO WINGS!

Finally all caught up watching games, so it is safe to check in.

I agree with Grapes. It was that STUPID penalty that was given to Therrien that took the wind out of the Habs. I still can't believe it. He put his hands in the air when complainning about a penalty so the ref gives ANOTHER penalty!!??!?!?! Oh well, the Habs weren't supposed to get past Boston so it was nice to see how far they did go. :) Hopefully next year they will beef up their defense some, and who knows.

Therrien gets that stupid penalty but the Sens got NOTHING for teh nasty hit on Tucker that happened in front of a ref. Some bad calls this year, or non-calls.

Ottawa, what can you say about them? I guess Toronto wanted to win more. For whatever reason, the Ottawa players didn't show up for Game 7. Too bad because I am not sure Toronto can get by Carolina.

Colorado is in the semis! Yeah!!!! My old Nordiques. :) Colorado - Detroit should be interesting to say the least. They have had some nasty post-season grudge matches.

Lets see, Toronto in the East, Colorado in the West. In the finals, Toronto takes the cup in 6 games. Ok, that is the DREAM. Colorado will probably take it in 5 in reality.

How sad the SENS are out! You're right Flint, they didn't show up for Game 7. Now Toronto is up 1 on the Hurricanes. I have a hard time cheering for Toronto after they've eliminated Ottawa 3 years in a row... Need some recovery time. :(

A Leafs\Wings final would be fantastic. Have they even played for a Stanley Cup since original six days? Go Go

I would love to see the two original six teams meet each other in the finals.

GO WINGS!

RED WINGS ROCK. Congrats to Darren McCarty on his first playoff hat trick.

Great game. Detroit wins 5-3.

Go

Darren McCarty has been hilarious in post game interviews. When called into the media room fo rhis post game press conference...He says, "I heard about this place. I always wondered what it looked like." I was thrilled for him! He has had a very tough year....not touch by Saku Koivu standards...but still tough.

..and how about Tomas Holmstrom scoring a goal while sitting on his butt! Way to get things going Tomas!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! I honestly believe that there is no team that the Wings enjoy beating more than the Avs....and there is not team the Avs enjoying beating more the the Wings.

Like Darren McCarty said in his post game interview, "It's the playoffs. It's the Wings and the Av's playing in the Western conference finals. It doesn't get any better than this."

I agree Mary. Darren always seems to come up big in the playoffs. He can be considered a hometown boy as well since he grew up in Canada about 30 miles from Detroit.

A Colorado/Detroit series is guaranteed drama and will probably be a nail-biter to the final buzzer.

I'm still trying to get over the Leafs losing today. Despite getting back four of our hurt players and scoring 7 seconds before the end of third period, Carolina won in overtime.
Better luck on Tuesday hopefully..

Go Leafs!

Flint

I just hope the Leafs didn't bring the players back too soon. They played a lot better the first game, WITHOUT those players. Tucker wasn't p-laying his usual game Sunday. Hopefully they do better tonight.

Zeyna

I you're right Flint. Whatever was driving them to win before is non-existant now. Tucker almost seems scared to get reinjured, and some of the other come backs are just not playing hard.
And now Mogilny is hurt, and Quinn is in the ICU and won't be coaching for the next two games at least. I hate to say it, but Carolina will most likely win this series. But then again, I'm often wrong :)

Go Leafs

Well I was goin for the last Canadian team, Toronto to win the cup but sadly :( that won't be happening. So I will now shift to Colorado, ex Quebecers to win it all. I love Roy & Sakic.

Go
