In a perfect scenario yeah that would be awesome can you imagine Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Nash on the first line it would be like Ottawa's old Allfie/Spezza/Heatley line on steroids

I hope The Kings win a cup really a big fan of Kopitar and I would like to see them get a cup.

I think 25 games if fair for what Raffi Torres did to Hossa, I think The 'Yotes might even release him it would be something I would do if I was them. The guy has to be the dirtiest player in the NHL hands down. I think you might even see Loungo moved to Toronto or Tampa Bay soon I don't see how The Canucks can afford to keep Schinder and Bobby Lou

I really hope the Rangers pull this out, I hate watching the Senators play. The only person I dislike more than Chris Neil is Raffi Torres.

No wonder Spezza hadn't scored a playoff goal in like 19 games. He had a ton of chances to take a shot and instead decided to skate around against three defenders several times.

Shots: Chicago 27, Phoenix 6

Score: Chicago 0, Phoenix 1

****, the Coyotes are so boring to watch. But Tippett is a genius and his team is murdering the Hawks on the road. Phoenix-Nashville in round 2 = Gary Bettman's Wet Dream

Insane goalie matchups in the West for Round 2.

Quick vs Elliott/Halak
Smith vs Rinne

We'll take it. Bruins were kinda boring to watch last year until the Stanley cup games and they won it all. As long as our goal keeper is playing this good we got a chance to make it far. The goals will come like they did tonight when we score they keep coming.

Until the cup? Boston's style did not change at all in the Stanley Cup.

I remember watching them wasn't impressed much until Stanley Cup. But, damn they had heck of a goal tender and make crazy saves in the playoffs. If I recall correctly Boston scored a ton of goals on Luango in that series.

Phoenix plays a style that works for postseason success. Is it boring? Sure. But if it wins a Cup, so be it.

But Boston was not especially boring last season. Do they slow things down a bit? Yeah. But not to the level of a Phoenix.

I want to see The Sens win, I HATE all New York based sports teams, I want to see Spezza get a ring been a fan ever since his Brampton Battalion days plus Alffie is one of the more likable players in my opinion. I just hope Boston, The Coyotes or Rangers don't win

I'd love to see the Sen's win it too but right now i'm cheering for the Flyers.

I'm rooting for Nashville to win.

I'd love to see what happens in Glendale if the Coyotes win the Stanley Cup.

Gary Bettman presents it to himself?

I like the family feeling of the organization, with Poile and Trotz being there since Day 1. But why wouldn't I? Because I want to see Suter in a Wings uniform and the quicker they lose the better for him leaving. Out East I am a Boston fan since Peverley and I share a lot of mutual friends, played a year of high school together and will see him a couple of times this summer.

That would be funny to see but The Coyotes are not winning it. I think right now The Flyers have a dangerous team they are very tough to match up against they have good size and arguably a top 2-3 player in Claude Giroux. I just hope The Sens win it all this year and give Alffie a cup

Philly isn't a contender unless Bryzgalov plays a lot better, which everyone should have doubts about. The only reason they got by Pittsburgh is because of their awful defense and goaltending. Go up against a team that can play defense and has solid goaltending and they're done.

Washington is through. We're a Sens win away from the most unlikely Conference Semis ever. Vegas is cleaning up.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that was the first time a black guy ever scored a game 7 OT winner in the NHL lol

Gritty series, was fun to watch.
