Detroit will get by Anaheim.   Be careful what you wish for.    Wings in 5.

I agree that the Wings will get by Anaheim....and by no means would I expect the Hawks to get past them in the next round...it would be a big upset.  Honestly, if the Hawks can get by Vancouver, anything past that point would be gravy...and great experience for this team to build on.

I believe you are taking the Wings in 6 as they played game 5 last night

I'm guessing that's his prediction against the Hawks in the next round.

I'll be at the Ducks game tomorrow hoping you are wrong.  We have given the Wings fits in the playoffs the last 2 series.....winning both series (including capturing the Cup two years ago).  Obviously we're an 8th seed so it's going to be tough, but if we win tomorrow then anything goes in a game 7 on Thursday.

Go Ducks!

I saw a stat somewhere that DET is out shotting Anaheim by almost more than 100 goals.  D has to get better if the Ducks have any chance. 

Chicos, how do you like James Wisnewski?  Was a big fan of his and actually pissed we traded him for the junker Pauhlsen (sp?)

In our 11 games in the two series (San Jose and Detroit), we have been outshot in every game.  It's been crazy.  Totally relying on Hiller to save the day which eventually is a problem (shown up the last two games).  I knew yesterday we had no shot.  No energy, no emotion for the most part.  Need to get on top quickly tomorrow and hope to ride it through.  If we get down early, I suspect that will be it as I don't know if they have the legs to keep it going.  Pronger and Niedemeyer are playing too many minutes.

I like Wisnewski a lot.  The injury to him in game three I thought really hurt us in game 4 (DNP) and somewhat yesterday.  He's a load and a tough SOB.  Taking an injury like that is going to make him timid for awhile I would guess.



By the way, as someone stated, there is nothing better than in person NHL playoff hockey. Nothing.  I'm fortunate as hell to get NHL tix from the league.  I sat in front of Willie O'Ree for Thursday's game last week.  He's the Jackie Robinson of the NHL.  Unbelievable tix....I'm spoiled.

It's great to walk around on the streets and see people with the Indian head on their chest again. By the way, best jersey in sports...all time.  Just ask wayne or garth!

I can't say enough about Quenneville this year; he brought some much needed experience and confidence to a young team.  Savard just wasn't capable of bringing that in prior years. 

I'll say a few hail mary's and our father's for the Ducks...but don't count on Jesus intervening duckfans.

Hiller has been impressive.  If he is anything less than stellar, Detroit wins.  Too many weapons, any line can score, relentless pressure.  Almost like the borg.   Resistance is futile. And yes, I was predicting the Wings beat the Hawks in 5.

Incredible game tonight.  Jeremy Piven's got the magic words for the next 2 weeks (hopefully)...

Wow!  Absolutely incredible last night....easily one of the best sporting events I've ever attended in person.   The UC was absolutely up for grabs....that third period was amazing....6 goals scored....4 by the good guys.  Anyone who watched that game and thinks playoff hockey is not entertaining has to have the head examined.  Kane's breakaway to seal the game was ridiculous.

Also fun to see Jake Peavy cheering on the Hawks....along with Soto, Rothschild, etc.

A Wings/Hawks Western Conference Finals series would be unreal.

Never thought the hawks could be a finesse team...well done dale talon!
Patrick Kane is amazing...this guy can be one of the best players in the league.
Hawks - Red Wings...Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I couldn't believe what I had saw on my way home from the UC last night.  There are some good articles up on ESPN about how Q and bunch had to go to hand signals at the end because the crowd was so loud.

When Bufuglyn laid out to knock that puck out of the zone, and the place went nuts...i don't think i have stopped smiling!  Hell of a series! 

Best part of the night was watching Luongo sit under the net making sure not to get hit by any hats or rally towels!

That play by Byfuglien was awesome....I will not forgot the atmosphere for a long, long time.

Best part of the night for me was watching Luongo cry in the postgame presser.

How about one of the Cannucks saying before this game that Hattrick Kane couldn't play 5 on 5 hockey.

I think they just blew him off last night!  His first goal he walked in from the blue line and let a wrister go!  Then the wrap around of a Turnover created by Burrish I believe. 

Kane has quick hands, and he used them last night

I read people use the term upside often...well Patrick Kane has some serious upside...I'm not sure if he understand how good he can be.

The canucks were fools to talk that way...Kane is just a kid. His 1st and 3rd goals were total skill...only a handful of NHL players could have replicated those sequences.

The hawks flourish in windshield wiper hockey...back and forth...canucks should have slowed the pace (as in game 4 I beleive).

Awesome is the best word for it.  That Vancouver series was fun to watch; it seemed like the Hawks played 4-5 different teams with the different approaches Vancouver was taking to each game.

Last night was amazing.  What a roller coaster: 
Down 1-0  ::).  Up 3-1  ;D.  Down 4-3   >:(.  Tied  8-).  Down   :(.  Tied  8-).  Up :D.  Up 2 ;D.  WIN  :P :D ;) ;D 8-).

Couldn't believe some of those amazing goals, particularly by Kane and Daniel Sedin.  The Burish goal was an incredible shot.

Just wait, it gets a lot better if you can go all the way.  The video sucks, but this is what I took at the Ducks Senators Stanley Cup clincher two years ago.  What a blast.
