Amp I was buying 4 Blackhawks tickets for the first game on wednesday on ticket master and the site fucking timed out before I could confirm my order. I was PISSED! I was buying 4 for 150 dollars. I was going to sell two to some morons who would have over paid! And basically go for free.

Anyway, no matter how awful they are playing they will most likely make it to the next round. Avs' Flames, Preds, and kings just aren't that good of teams and I cant see any of them beating the Hawks 4 games. Only team I'm worried about playing are the Wings. They somehow always find a way to beat us and they have that phyiscal play that basically no one in the western confrence has.

They're losing again.  That team is driving me nuts.  Earlier this year they looked like they were going to win the Stanley Cup.  Now I'm wondering if they'll get out of the first round.  You are right about none of the teams that you listed (excluding the Wings) being that good.  The problem is that the Hawks currently aren't very good either.  Actually, they've been pretty bad.  Also, getting to the second round isn't enough for me this year.  Anything less than making the conference finals would be a failure.

Go montreal!!

GOD DAMN IT! I THOUGHT THE GAME STARTED AT 7!

Oh god... this is tense... 1 - 1

Big, BIG win for the habs tonight!

Can't wait for the playoffs.

Maybe they should have traded a 3rd or a 4th for Biron back at the deadline. He's famillar with the team and would have fit in seamlessly (although the system is different now, it looks a lot more structured defensively speaking).

They won.  It was never in doubt.

Iv never wanted the Penguins to win a game so bad.

It would be amusing if Atlanta made the playoffs after trading Kovalchuk.
